Kelly and her team at the Funk Lab put the students first! They are a NATIONALLY known studio competing at the highest levels with her students. The facility is safe, fun, clean and always hear kids laughing and having fun too, they really do a fantastic job keeping the fun in the classroom, and I know that not all studio's take this approach which is why the Funk Lab is so topnotch. I have known the Owner Kelly for over 6 years and she really cares about every single person that walks through the door, everyone becomes family and she tries to go above and beyond to listen to constructive criticism from every parent. I don't think that you will find a better studio around teaching and giving them opportunities that they will get at the Funk Lab. Keep it up guys!!! Kettering and Dayton LOVES you! read more

This Dance and Creative center is a one stop shop for my whole family! They offer HipHop, B-Boy, Contemporary, DJ, and Art classes; all with caring, skilled and well trained instructors. FunkLab is also a Community focused place that allows opportunities for us to help our Community and nurture a child's knowledge on what it is to be a humanitarian. My children have made life long friends and have a safe place to be themselves. So many schools have low funded or non existent programs for the arts and oftentimes parents have to supplement that experience with outside extracurricular programs. I found FunkLab and found all I need! There is no need for me to look further, I found the Gem of the city when it comes to what they have to offer. Thank You FunkLab! read more

My daughter has been a student at Funk Lab for 8 years. I have always been happy with the instructors and environment! The reasons this studio is fantastic other than the amazingly friendly staff are endless! This studio is original in offered dance styles, guest instructors and events they hold for the students. The instructors really connect with the kids and let them be themselves! There are always pictures and slide shows, DJ music and modern additions to make the studio pleasant to visit on any given day. I have seen the confidence levels and skill levels for many kids rise beyond expectations! On top of this, the owner/directors have hearts of gold and genuinely love their students. Absolutely love Funk Lab and would recommend to anyone! read more

If you want to be apart of something that will accept you for who you are, then you must sign up. It's more than just a dance studio, it's a family. They teach their students how to be confident, love themselves, and how to create real connections. I have been a student of the Owner (Kelly)for what seems like my entire life. Even after I have moved and grown up, she still welcomes me in with open arms every time I get the chance to visit. The teachers are better than anywhere else. Some are even former students who have grown exceptionally and now teaching the current students that dancing is for a lifetime, not just for the season. I know you can't get much better than this studio. Their loyalty and skills will blow you away. read more

My daughter has been a student at this studio for years and I can't express enough how positive the experience has been for her. The owner is an amazing person who cares deeply for every student and teaches them to have the confidence they need in dance and in life. The teachers are admired by all the students and are a positive impact on each and every one of them. Just walking into the facility you can see the smiles and joy on the kids faces and how much they love being there also. This studio has a family feel because of the owner, teachers, and the students. I will never go anywhere else because this has been the best dance experience ever for my child and I love how everyone is so friendly and supportive of each other. read more

I can't talk enough about how amazing this studio is. There are no other dance studios around that welcome adult beginners. From the very first day I went I could tell how positive and encouraging the environment is. I have been there for almost 4 years and plan on staying for many years to come. I signed my daughter up for classes starting this year and she loves loves loves it. They are very open about pricing, and actually one of the cheapest places around. The owner keeps prices down because this place is her heart and soul. Seeing a safe fun place for children to learn and grow in more than just dance is so much more important than money, and its extremely obvious. I would never take myself or my daughter any where else! read more

I love this studio so much! I have two children, ages 10 and 5, enrolled in classes here and they love it! I was worried at first because neither of my children have had dance classes before, but the teachers work with their students and help them to learn each of the moves. They look forward to their classes each week, and always leave with a smile on their faces. I couldn't ask for a better place to take my kids, and I plan on putting them in classes next season too! I am so thankful for Funk Lab, and I appreciate all the hard work the teachers put into the routines, and the patience they have while the students are learning. read more

My daughter is in her 8th year at Funk Lab, and has absolutely loved it (she's 13 now). The teachers are all very engaging - not to mention INCREDIBLY talented - and take a heartfelt interest in all their students. And the owner is one of a kind. She has a deep passion for dance, and has done nothing but bend over backwards to accommodate any and all of my requests, which most recently includes finding an instructor and setting up a time 2 months after the season started to get my daughter and her friend situated for a duet class. Everyone is nothing but friendly, welcoming and caring. And the recitals are OFF THE HOOK! read more

Can I give 6 stars? Funk Lab is an amazing home for many people of ALL ages. I say "home" because so many kids feel empowered and awesome because of the experiences they have at Funk Lab! My daughter is one of them. The teachers (including the owner, Kelly) know everyone by name, families included. The staff does a fantastic job of not only teaching the kids incredible dance skills, but also of building the kids up and encouraging them to be their best. We LOVE Funk Lab and I would be hard pressed to find a studio as great as this one! read more

This is the best dance studio my kids have ever attended, and we've taken classes at lots! After a year of hip hop at Funk Lab, my daughter asked to start contemporary there instead of ballet at one of those other studios. We've never looked back! The teachers (and owner) ar Funk Lab pour their hearts into the kids and their dance. I have never seen a group of people that are more dedicated or encouraging to their dancers! If your kids are looking for fun classes with amazing teachers who truly care, this is the perfect place for you! read more

I cannot give enough praise! The staff is amazing! The students are kind and encouraging toward each other.

We stayed in the area when we had a chance to move because there is nowhere else with the same opportunities or love of hip hop. We love Funk Lab! read more

This will be my son's 5th year dancing at the Funk Lab and my daughter's 2nd. The Funk Lab is a second home for my kiddos.

I have been amazed by the joy they bring into the classroom and patience! My family has attended other dance studios but the Funk Lab's skill and originality is outstanding. read more

Way back in the day when I was trying to be cool in my twenties lol, I took a intro hip hop dance class series. Kelly (owner) was the instructor and it was super fun and a memory I carry with me. I even learned and retained a few moves! I have returned here with my children now for a few birthday parties they have been invited to, and I couldn't be more pleased! The atmosphere is always fun and inviting! Funk lab is a great local dance studio and a gem in the community it serves! read more

My daughter has been dancing with FunkLab for about four years. She has learned so many different types of dance moves. Dancing is not the-only thing that is learned within this organization. It has been noticed these children love and support from the youngest to the oldest love one another. There is no discrimination nor judgement. There is genuine love amongst the children and the parents. Thank you so much for being who you are FunkLab and what you stand for. Tina White read more
