Love this dance studio! Growing up in NJ, I went to a family owned studio so it was nice to find a…read moreplace similar in Tampa for my daughters. The owners are wonderful, as is the entire staff. And the demonstrators, who are some of the older dancers at the studio, are also so amazing with the kids. They offer a wide variety of classes (tap, jazz, ballet, acro, etc) once the dancers are of the right age to start them, as well as having a killer competition team. This summer (2021) they offered camps in addition to summer classes. Both of my daughters participated in camp, and they loved sharing all the fun activities & dancing they did during the day. I recommend Dancemakers to all of my mom friends in the area when they're looking for a local studio. We look forward to our many years at this studio!

Gracie has helped her grow so much in her dancing and fueled her love for it even more. Lisa has continued to encourage her in singing and has helped her truly flourish. Kayla and Noelle are also amazing -- so supportive, kind, and talented. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to help the kids feel confident, inspired, and excited to learn. Stagelights truly encourages and develops their students to become true triple threats -- strong in acting, singing, and dancing -- all while building their confidence and love for performing. Our son just started performing and recently completed his very first musical at Stagelights. He had the best experience and is already so excited to join the summer play. We couldn't be happier to be part of the Stagelights family!

An adult bullying a toddler is the only red flag we needed. Center Stage also has indoor viewing area to watch the kids dance! There's a giant window to see through and chairs, and AIR CONDITIONING (huge deal since at Stagelights it's a "privilege" to view your child in class while cooking outside in the sun on a hard plastic chair... being able to watch dance class from indoors on a soft chair is PRICELESS!) Stagelights is absolutely cheaper than most. But you get what you pay for! If it's worth it to you then go for it. I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't warn other moms of the experience. We wasted 3 years here, but once my two year old was mistreated the loyalty had to end. Do better for your own child & find a studio elsewhere!

Girls today are not the anorexic type looking ballerinas. (By the way my daughter is a not over weight size 3/5). She was coming home crying all the time and she wouldn't tell me why. Now I have found out why and it makes me sad that my daughter had to endure years of verbal abuse and embarrassment in front of everyone there at the dance studio. She finally quit and is now telling her story. Other girls have also quit recently so my daughter can't be the only one. This is shocking and appalling behavior for an adult to treat children this way, plus paying them $400 a month tuition! Beware of this dance studio and don't send your precious daughters there!

A Summer to Remember-5 Stars!…read more My child had the time of their life at the EYS summer camp! From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.

My experience with EMA for the last year and a half was amazing when it was under the leadership of…read moreCoach Shaun. Shaun is a true professional and expert in his field; he was amazing with the children and parents and he's been genuine and invested in every child he's encountered for the last 6 years at EMA. He was also a true leader with the assistant coaches, providing direction and lesson plans that they would carry out under his guidance. My boyfriend and I even started attending the newly launched adult classes under his tutelage and we had a lot of fun while training hard and gaining experience in a variety of striking and grappling techniques. Then things started getting dodgy on the EYS Billing end. First, the rate we were promised for the Adult Martial Arts class was not what we were charged and we had to dispute the transaction. Then EYS charged my boyfriend's account for a weapons seminar that he was informed was an "interest-only" sign-up. Then for the month of December EYS canceled 4 of the 16 Adult EMA classes and only discounted roughly $15 instead of $29 which would be the correctly prorated amount for the membership dues. Lastly we found out that the owner Jacalyn terminated EMA owner Coach Shaun. We are devastated. A business is only as good as it's leader. Coach Shaun was the best thing about EMA; as evidenced by all the prior testimonials. Only time will tell what happens to EMA and EYS. Sadly, it's the kids who will suffer in the absence of such a great man like Coach Shaun. Lastly, we recently received news that EYS is currently under investigation by the Department of Children and Families and this isn't the first time DCF has had to step in. We find all of the aforementioned instances intolerable. My boyfriend and I are no longer registered members in the EMA Adult class, nor are several of our colleagues after they found out about the owner's actions and treatment of Coach Shaun. I'm sure as word continues to spread, more people will be pulling out of EMA/EYS. My entire family is disappointed that EMA will forever be changed, and sadly we fear, not for the better.

We signed up with them to set up and promote our small business, but it didn't work out for us…read more We've been trying to cancel our membership for 3 months with no success. The local club suggested we contact the corporate marketing manager, and we did, but there was still no resolution. Mary would send us commercial and event schedules, but she never replied to our cancellation emails. We visited the home location multiple times, and each time they claimed we needed to pay a month in advance, even though a payment had just processed. When we pointed out that this isn't fair, especially since we couldn't use their service, they said they would relay the message to Mary, but we're still waiting. This situation feels more fraudulent than supportive of the community. The manager was sympathetic, but I believe this is a corporate issue, not a local one. Beware before you subscribe, and think carefully about an open-ended membership that seems impossible to control.

TLDR: Amazing prenatal yoga classes, wonderful tribe of moms in the Mommy and Me classes, and now I…read morecan add the perfect place to throw a birthday party! I've been going to Green Locus Yoga for close to two years now. I started when I first got pregnant and now my son is 13 months. Wow, does time fly. Most recently, we attended a one year old birthday here. It was perfect! Here was the set up. We ran in 15 minutes late (of course. Btw how were all the other moms on time? I honestly thought we would all be that late.) The class had already started and kids and moms were dancing on their yoga mats. I really respect places that are timely! We had about 30 minutes of yoga/body movement to music (about 45 minutes for everyone who was on time). Then we had some refreshments the mom brought. I thought it was over at this point, but no, we had more structured play with a giant parachute! I thought it was a fantastic way to structure the birthday for one year olds - they have the attention span of squirrels so that food break was a necessity. At the end of the party, Mallory, the owner, told everyone to stay as long as we liked, but of course being moms of toddlers, everyone ran for nap time. However, it is a good feeling knowing you are never rushed to leave. After throwing Yoshi's first birthday at my house this year, this seems like the perfect alternative for his next birthday. They have a cap of 12 parents/kids (so a total of about 25), which makes sense for the space. We had a blast and the class was perfectly suited for the age of the kids.
