Full Out Performance is one of the best studios there is. The teachers are wonderful, and they focus on individuals in order to help each and every student improve. It is such an encouraging environment and I felt I improved the most at this studio. They pushed me to be the best I could possibly be and inspired my passion for dance. I was a member of the senior elite competition team. Even a year after graduating high school, I still drive an hour to the studio because it is just the best there is. I also have a great deal of hearing loss and no one ever doubted my abilities, (many have in the past), every teacher was willing to work with me and figure out was to improve my performance despite my disability. Competitions are a blast. The directors and teachers always taught us to be gracious and learn from our performances whether they be good or bad. The core classes, such as ballet and jazz, are some of the most technique focused classes I have found in the valley. Again I drive an hour during rush hour to get to the studio. The other classes they offer such as tap and hip hop are so much fun. I was not ever trained in tap until I came to the studio and they still put me in a class with my peers that were my age (whereas at other studios they would put me in classes with 10 year olds when I was 16) but the level of the class was not brought down because of me, instead the teacher took the time to explain the technique that goes into tap and everyone learned from that. I hadn't trained much in hip hop before I came here either but I actually learned technique rather than just combos. which made me much more confident in my abilities. This studio is such an inviting place. There is an atmosphere that I have never found at another studio. The kids and teachers here truly have a passion for dance. There are some of the best teaching at this studio. Amazing choreography, technique focused teaching, and a great atmosphere. I've never found all three in a studio. read more

I have had my daughter in this studio for the last two years. We are leaving because the teaching and the technique is not up to par. The teacher's choreography and training are weak. Competitions are embarrassing because we do not score well. The owner and director are embarrassing and unprofessional at competitions. The core classes, such as ballet and jazz, are not being taught with proper principles, vocabulary, and training. My daughter also doesn't feel comfortable coming to the studio anymore because of the tension that the owner creates. She was told that "they wouldn't make company if they didn't stay for awards" at the competitions. I was livid over that; it is not their choice to stay at a competition that lasts all day and then have to stay for awards, it is the parents choice. My daughter also felt bad for her friend who got scolded by Lauri, the owner, backstage at the recital. No dancer should EVER be in tears at a recital, especially from the hands of the owner. Also, one of my friends who has two daughters in rec classes got yelled at by Paige when she wanted to take her daughters home early from the recital. My friend still took her daughters home, but it was disrespectful to be yelled at and told she could not take her dancers. We are happy to be leaving this studio and there are plenty of other good studios in the valley. Full Out is NOT one of them!! read more

WE LOVE THIS STUDIO! My daughter has gone to this studio since it opened and we have always loved the family owned feel. Mrs Lauri at the fri t desk k owe every child's name and what is going on in their lives and always asks what's new and is engaged with them. She is a true mamma bear. My daughter is 8 and if I get there at the end of class and she sees me outside waiting in the car with my younger child, she walks my daughter outside and makes sure she gets to me safely. Paige, Rhonda and Bailey have all taught my daughter at some point and have all been nurturing while also pushing her to be her best and grow year after year. She has been dancing since she was 3 and continues to enjoy it in large part to loving her environment and teachers. The studio does parents night out and other fun nights for the kids to enjoy non educational time together to bond and get to know each other outside of just dance. I really cannot day enough about what my family and I love about this studio and the teachers. I highly recommend it! read more

Our daughter has been at Full Out since it opened this studio, three years ago. It is such an amazing studio, not only because it teaches dance, but also because it teaches character. The teachers are very skilled in the area of dance, and it is apparent that they all enjoy what they do, which positively affects the students. But through their teaching of dance, they display sportsmanship, kindness, honesty, obedience, and passion. They are constantly instilling these virtues in the students, making them good dancers with good hearts. Our family loves FOPDC because it is a wonderful environment to be in. Students and parents alike learn beneficial character traits while having fun. The sense of humor in each teacher and student shines through to create an environment that everyone wants to be in. In that way, students and parents can enjoy the art of dance while displaying characteristics that make them good people. read more

Full Out Performance Dance Company is a wonderful environment with fantastic teachers! We are so impressed with the choreography, music choices, costumes, and technique they offer our young dancer. They have a huge variety of classes and dance styles offered for each age group. In addition to their Elite groups they have recreational groups for the dancers that don't wish to compete. We love that the recreational dancers get the same training and care that the top performing groups get. The owner and staff members are nice, personable and talented. The Elite dancers are kind and inspiring to the younger dancers. They go above and beyond to help our experience enjoyable. We love Full-Out! read more

Full Out is the most unprofessional place of business that I have ever been to. They intentionally hurt their students if a parent is upset about something. At the recital they showed a video of their students in class and made fun of the student's faces by adding in not funny comments about what the child is "supposedly" thinking!!! Ridiculous!!! I would never send my child here again and I will never recommend this studio to anyone! If you value honestly, morals, and overall, just being nice, then don't step foot into this studio!! read more

This studio has been a game changer for my daughter. Technique, proper form, strength building, injury prevention, confidence, teamwork, being good to others, dancing from the heart, and using their passion are all important parts of the Full Out curriculum. They care about the dancer as a whole person. Feedback is given in a way that builds the student, yet encourages them to safely take risks, try new things, and develop new skills. The owners and instructors are incredibly caring and invested in bringing out the best in each dancer. read more

Full Out Performance Dance Company is a family studio, run by a family, and run for families. The atmosphere Paige Tamarkin has created here is absolutely incredible.

The staff is so pleasant and the studio is very well-kept and cared for. Full Out is hands down one of the best in the business! read more

Wow!!!! After this past recital, I cannot truly begin to describe how these girls are top tier dancers. The caliber these young experts compete at sets the bar for the ENTIRE valley.

BIG shoutout, thanks and gratitude to all teachers, Paige and Lauri Tamarkin, and all of FOP. Highly recommend this studio to EVERYONE, the best ran studio in ALL the valley!!!!!! read more

In my 51+ years I have visited dance studios throughout the U.S. in small cities up to Los Angeles, New York and Chicago, so I have seen plenty of not so great up to amazing and my family and friends rate Full Out Performance Dance Company as truly one of the best we've ever seen.

One of the Valleys best! Paige Tamarkin is an exceptional teacher and choreographer and has surrounded herself with some of the best dance teachers in Arizona. Small classes, personal attention, and a family feeling just add to this great studio.

Full Out is by far one of the best, if not the best dance studio in the valley. Their owner/artistic director is one of the most gifted teachers and choreographers to come around in a long time. The faculty is world-class. And probably most importantly, they treat everyone like family. It is a great place to dance! read more
