Over the last 10 years (and counting) all three of our children have participated in a variety of…read moreclasses at Heart & Soul Kids. It all started when I was a first-time mama looking to give my (very) busy toddler a healthy physical outlet. One that was more structured than what I could offer on my own with park play, splash pads and "the jumpy place" (trampoline park). I was looking for a family friendly environment. A safe and clean place. As well as something that encouraged gross-motor skills, strength and confidence in a positive way. We hit the jackpot with this one. I remember chatting with the sweet gal at the front desk when my first kiddo started here in 2015. Only to realize much later she was the owner. The professionalism, integrity and humility that she welcomed us with continues to shine through to all of the employees we have been lucky enough to meet. Over the years our littles (and not-so-littles) have taken part in kids-night-out and open gym. We even hosted one of our littles birthday parties here. From gymnastics to hip hop class and ninja to tumble, each and every one of the staff members have been supportive, communicative and patient with our kiddos. Our latest event was showcase. It was AWESOME! Watching the skill and progress our girl made in tumble was so rewarding. We were a little bit sad to find out that she was considering stopping tumble to pursue other sports when showcase was over. However, after seeing the "older" tumble gymnasts perform, she felt immediately inspired to continue. If you're looking for a recreational gymnastics, dance or ninja home in Tucson, this is it.

We tried this dance studio for my daughter, who is 3 years old. She was in the Twinkle Toes…read moresession. Ultimately, I decided to pull her out because I didn't feel that 30-minute classes for $85 a month were worth it, especially considering the commute we have to make to get there. Classes are twice a week Monday and Saturday and I also wasn't very impressed with the program itself. It didn't feel like much of a dance class. It was more like the kids were running around to songs. There was some bubble blowing, and in one class, the instructor even read a book. I was hoping for more structure and actual dance instruction. I also made the mistake of purchasing a dance outfit and shoes from their storefront because I thought my daughter would need a uniform. However, on the first day of class, I was told that her age group didn't require one. A couple of days later, I saw the order status change to "ready for pickup," but when we went to get it, we were told nothing was there. I kept trying to call, but no one ever answered only a text thread for follow-up. I continued checking, but nothing was ever actually ready. When we decided to cancel on 5/2, I had already been billed $85, and we still didn't have her outfit or shoes. I reached out via text that Saturday (since they don't answer the phone) and didn't hear anything back. I followed up again on Sunday (5/3) and still got no response. Finally, on Monday (5/4), I heard back and was asked to fill out a cancellation form. After submitting the form, I was told the outfit had arrived and that I could come pick it up. I responded the same day asking if the outfit could be refunded, but I never received a reply. Keep in mind, the outfit is branded with their dance logo. Since we canceled, there's really no reason for us to keep it especially because the class we were in didn't even require uniforms. Wednesday and Thursday passed with no response. Finally, I reached out again early Friday morning asking for a follow-up. I received this response: "Hello! Sorry about the delay. I have reached out about your refund and am just waiting to hear back. I'll keep you updated!" Then later, I was told, "Unfortunately, we don't issue refunds, but we can apply that amount to your account for future purchases." Future purchases after we just canceled the membership. Overall, if you have a child under 4, I wouldn't recommend this studio. And if you value communication and good customer service, I also wouldn't recommend it. I feel like a lot of this could have been avoided if they had clearly explained what the classes involve, what the kids would actually be doing, the dress code requirements, and their no-refund policy upfront. I'm going to attach the text thread so you can see how every time I call and don't answer they send an automated text message.

This message went out to the entire studio - including all of the kid dancers.

Her talent as a dancer has greatly improved and she has shown tremendous growth in her abilities. The best part- she feels as though she is part of a community of dancers and is supported the minute she enters the studio until she leaves. Although she is a child, she sees a future in dance and how much creative arts have an impact in her life. I can't say enough good things about the studio- having been to others in the city, BC has highly skilled teachers and allows their dancers to live heir dreams while reaching their true potential.

I sat in on a Rhumba dance class to which I was NOT impressed. First, the class started and the…read moreinstructor walked out half way through to go refresh her deodorant and mess with her phone, leaving the assistant instructor to finish teaching the class. Instead of doing her personal refresh in the bathroom located five feet away from the kitchenette counter inside the studio, she did it right there at the counter for everyone to see. She was not very good of an instructor to begin with and was asking the other instructor questions rather than knowing what she was doing. There is also another said "popular" dance teacher there, a very strange looking man who has apparently been dancing for quite some time but after watching him dance, I was put at unease. He was very impatient, poorly coached and had no people skills whatsoever. I was there to decide whether or not American Dance Ballroom Dance Studio would be a good place to take lessons. The owner of the studio had a friend of mine employed with her for a short period of time and was very rudely unreasonable and when she terminated his employment she decided to leave a voicemail on a friends phone instead of calling him properly like a professional business owner should. Even if they don't give reason, leaving a VOICEMAIL is not a very award winning way to terminate someone from employment. I sat in on my friends classes too, and to be honest, the other instructors were taking coaching from him because they even acknowledged that their skills needed his sharp technique to improve. That says a lot to someone sitting in watching what could potentially be a lesson seller for a new student. I met the owner, Elizabeth who is quite rude and stuck up right off the bat. She is outrageously priced for the quality of instruction I would have received had I taken lessons from her studio. I decided to go with the Fred Astaire Dance Studio at Grant and Alvernon instead because even though it was also highly priced, the instructors there were VERY personable and very professional. I will not visit American Dance again, and I also will not recommend anyone I know to attend lessons or make purchases from this low rent version of Fred Astaire Dance Studios or Shall We Dance Studios.

I have no ear, no rhythm, etc. I decided to treat myself to private dance lessons 3 months ago. I wanted the confidence to go dancing and enjoy healthy fun exercise. I am so glad I did! Elizabeth is a skilled and experienced instructor, she has made me feel at ease at all times. Part of the dance package is group social dances. I was afraid, not just nervous but truly afraid to go by myself to my first event. Everyone was so warm and encouraging, it has really boosted my confidence! Elizabeth has created a wonderful studio community that you can't find anywhere else. If you ever wanted to learn to dance but thought you couldn't I encourage you to give American Dance LLC a try!!
