Once we got inside it was so crowded with parents and kids bunched in together, you couldn't even get through without bumping into 5 other people. Got to where we needed to be and imagine my surprise that there is no viewing window! I specifically asked about this before signing up and was told we could see the kiddos- well yeah you can see them if you stand up, go to the class door, and look through like a small window on the door (picture a very small rectangle). So you'd have to walk in front of other parents and block this little window in order to see your kid. 100% was misled and I wasn't ok with it- who doesn't want to actually watch their 4 year old take their first dance lesson?! Not to mention the vibe of the whole place was off IMO. Decided we wouldn't be going back, so we called today to cancel and let them know why- was told they'd need a 30 day notice and I'd be charged for an additional week. So I was misled by your staff, wasn't satisfied with the experience, paid for a month (attended 1 class) and the deposit, and that's your response. Get out of here! I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody.

I am a self-admitted helicopter parent and NorthPointe has been a saving grace for both myself and…read moremy daughter. The staff is incredibly kind and patient with me, yet by gently encouraging me to step back and trust them with my daughter's growth I have watched my daughter blossom into a strong spirit, whereas she would barely let me leave her alone in the classroom two years ago. Not only has she developed technique and skill, but also friendships, confidence and passion about the art of dance! My daughter also has true connections with her teachers, so even when frustrated by the challenges of something new she wants to go right back to class the following week. The front desk staff always greets us by name which makes us feel like family; even the fellow parents are friendly and welcoming. Two things I like about NorthPointe: 1)that they can meet your child where he or she is, and take them as far as he or she would like to go, from just-for-fun-and-exercise all the way to Juilliard (a recent past student is now studying there under scholarship!). And 2) it's not just about DANCE-- it's also about building character and confidence, developing the person as a whole. So even if my child doesn't want to go to Juilliard, she is still developing skills that are essential in so many other areas of her life. There was an earlier negative reviewer on here mentioning her daughter having an issue with a class she tried out, and I am so glad she contacted the studio owner about her concerns. The reviewer mentioned that the owner said the instructor was in tears over the parent's complaint, and that is an excellent example of how seriously NorthPointe takes their standards. That the owner herself called the parent speaks volumes alone, that the teacher was so upset about the misunderstanding, and that the studio offered multiple solutions to this parent-- you can see the level of service NorthPointe provides, even when the parent has an alternate viewpoint of an experience. It seems to me that very few businesses operate this way these days, so for me, it's encouraging to hear that these concerns were addressed so appropriately.

They must have realized I am a fitness junkie. When you first come in you have to fill out a waiver form acknowledging you understand all the terms and policy of their cancellation. Then there are two restrooms where you can change if need be. These classes are usually 60 minutes. They have workout bands to help tone and tighten. As well as a box for doing your cardio on. Then you move the bands and box to the side and dance to your hearts content as the instructor continues to guide you throughout the class. Don't worry if your a newbie, you instructor will be there the entire time to help you and guide you throughout all the movements. They have heart rate monitors like Orangetheory that tracks calories burned and the higher up you go the better, although I didn't use one for my workout. If you become a member you may find it useful to invest in one. I like the workout and think it is a great mix of both cardio and dance combined. I am not sure if I'll become a member because I am a member of too many gyms right now, but it was nice to try something new for a change.

The office staff are friendly, follow up promptly, and take care of what's needed. The teachers genuinely like children and are well trained in working with each age group - these aren't just professional dancers doing what they can to pay the bills while they wait for their big break (a relatively common phenomena in the dance school world). The music they dance to is fun and engaging and they offer a broad range of classes, most offered at different days and times throughout the week. Makeup classes are easy to schedule. It's easy to observe classes through one-way windows and there's enough that you don't have parents crowding around one limited viewing area. Another factor that was important to me was that the class dress code and recital costumes were age appropriate. No bare midriffs.

The schedule is easy to find on MindBody as well as posted in the studio. Studio fees are reasonable. The studio is clean and well lit and has all of the equipment you need for each class. There are 2 class spaces - a small yoga-ish studio off of the main room and a larger concrete floor studio in back with a small platform/stage and a roll up door for ventilation/extra light. Both have plenty of mirrors, light, and fans if needed. Alicia and her staff are super friendly and welcoming. There is always someone at the desk greeting students and getting you situated. Another cool note is that Alicia sponsors or partners with non-Columbus-based instructors who don't have studio space for extra offerings or events.

She looked like she didn't want to be there, and didn't enjoy being around children or interacting with them at all. She also didn't take the time to help my child improve her skills, which I thought was the whole point of an instructor?! Considering the steep cost, this is clearly not worth it. My child was so discouraged she no longer wants to go. Maybe another class would be a better fit, but I think the overall atmosphere is not a good fit for us. We're looking to have fun while learning new skills, and it seems that others have Olympic ambitions and the serious attitude that comes with it. Perhaps this place is focused on their star programs and not everyday children who want to have fun while learning the basics.
