Gothic churches in most of the country images? It seemed like it was Vietnam instead of China? South Africa flag? I will be not returning to see this next year. I will be going to be going to another traditional performance of the nutcracker next weekend because I don't want to miss the regular story.

The dance was very boring and not even related to the nutcracker. Only the music was related.read more

My daughters have been dancing at Synergy for 7 years. My girls started as shy dancers to bringing…read moreso much energy, skill, and passion for dancing on the stage. At Synergy, they learn much more than dancing. The amazing director, helpful staff and talented teachers give life lessons that serve them well beyond the dance floor. They learn about making and reaching for goals. They learn about working as a team and caring for others. They gain confidence while being kind. They learn how to be strong while being graceful. When you dance at Synergy, you have so much fun and you become part of a family!

My wife and I saw a young girl being mistreated by another beautiful young lady on stage this…read moreweekend. We were surprised that no adult came to the stage to defuse the situation and stop the young girl from touching and yelling at this poor girl. The girl was so close to her face, and I found myself upset as if she were my child. The girl got emotional, and we saw her crying at some point during the awards it seemed as if two women came to the little girls rescue and removed her close to the end of the ceremony. My wife and I were really bothered by this and came back the next day and asked around as we wanted to know the correct location Synergy is from because we noticed when we wanted to write about this, there are multiple locations. We also found out that she missed the award for her dance due to the situation. We wanted to look for her to tell her what a wonderful job she did and how she handled the situation gracefully, but we didn't see the young girl the next day. Due to what transpired we decided to write on behalf of those who noticed and on behalf of this poor girl that just broke our hearts. No one should allow a child to behave in that way this showed poor sportsmanship, and how there seems to be tension amongs the dancers as they were not united. I'm very surprised no one stopped it nor a parent came up sooner, if this was my child I would of given the young girl a few words of wisdom about her behavior before removing my child from an uncomfortable situation. Synergy, these kids represent your company, and I hope this is being handled internally and we do not witness another one at future compititions. I'm not giving you a 1 star because I do not know what is being done or what the companies values are (But I'm sure misconduct behavior isn't one of them). I hope the company is taking this kind of behavior serious for the sake of the children and for all parents that would be put in this kind of situation from both sides. I'm sure this is something that is being fixed, and I hope the company is fully aware of what transpired and that those two ladies who removed the child reported the incident so that this doesn't happen to another child. We wish Synergy the best of luck! May the children and parents be united and not divided.

My wife and I have been taking private dance lessons at Arthur Murray Dance Center Orland Park…read moresince February 2017. We initially attended their open house in January and liked what we saw. Bobby and Julia are excellent instructors who are skilled, friendly and patient with their students. We found these lessons to be a healthy activity to do together as a couple and a lot of fun. The instructors are skilled and constantly finding ways to help us improve our dancing skills. They offer many opportunities to learn with private classes, group classes and awesome parties. I can't believe the transformation in our dancing as a couple. We are thankful we found this gem in our backyard in Orland Park!

My daughter has been going to ADC for years, we were first at the Homewood location and now at the…read moreOrland location. Everything about the environment and experience at ADC has been amazing! Dance class is the highlight of her week. As a parent I love the focus on movement and skill building rather than always prepping for recitals. For the classes my daughter is in they do a recitals every other year which is perfect because it gives time to work on skills. The older kids are also always so kind and helpful with the younger dancers. We were also at a different studio when our daughter was really young and my wife and I felt the older girls performances and costumes were overly sexualized. The older girls at ADC are outstanding dancers and their performances are always tasteful. We love all the teachers and the delay of community, can't say enough good things about ADC!!

Absolutely the worst place for dance in the south suburbs. If I could give this place NO STARS, I…read morewould. They are totally insensitive to the cultural differences of their students, lack professionalism when speaking to parents and children and isolate children based on their beliefs. Because I didn't want to put my 5 year old in the street walker makeup that was recommended for recital, I was told that my daughter couldn't participate in the group picture because she would not be "uniform and the other parents would complain." I'm sure that other parents are like me and don't care what other children in the picture look like as long as their kid is cute. We are African American and my daughter's hair is not the slick-back-into-a-ponytail kind of hair. They made a point to say that no one should have braids or beads. No beads, I understand. But let's be reasonable about the hair. The teachers constantly talk to the student, not their parent, about things they should not serving to alienate them from their classmates. While they do this, they hide behind the statement that they are "teaching more than just dance steps." Well, they are right about that. They are teaching them that to take a stand for what they believe in could cause them to be ousted from the group and that what they hold as a personal or religious standard is inferior to the need to have uniformity in a group. If you care at all about your daughter's emotional well-being, do not take them to this dance school.
