Can't imagine my family's life without them. We have three generations dancing together within a matter of months. My son, his daughter and I are enjoying doing this as a family ! There are so many opportunities from learning ballroom dancing or improving to preparing that special dance for your wedding! Not to mention, there are now Kid's and Adult Ballet classes. So many benefits from Social, Emotional, Physical not to leave out how much fun it is to dance! Literally cannot imagine my life without dance. Why not sign up for a free private lesson? What do you have to lose? Better yet, what might you gain?

Rather than risk international embarrassment and going viral for all the wrong reasons, my daughter…read moregot us a few lessons at Fred Astaire before her wedding. She knows me and my limits more than I do. I mean, it's her reputation and her wedding, so I need to get this one right. She made the reservations and I got there early- and was greeted by the staff to a studio walk through, complimentary beverage, and a basic interview of previous dancing experience. Aside from various high school dances, prom and my own wedding a lifetime ago... my dancing resume is sparse and lacking. No worries. They listened to the song we chose and thought we should go with a mix of the American & Viennese waltz. No pressure. The studio wasn't huge, but once I got to it I realized it didn't need to be. My daughter and I shared the floor with 2 other couples dancing as well, and it was enough room for them to be safely down range of me and my two left feet. But honestly, by the end of the lesson I could do what the Instructor asked, kept time and my framing, and my daughter's embarrassment was being counteracted one STEP at a time (what I did there). We have another lesson before the big day, but even after the wedding I think I'll set my wife and I up for some lessons so I'll be prepared for the next event that comes up. + Plenty of parking + They go over what you learned and what to work on before the next lesson + Reasonable prices + VERY friendly staff I'll be back.

We attended 1 combo 2 class here and were beyond disappointed. The whole experience was bad. First…read moreoff the parking situation is a nightmare. 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.

Although I am not the best dancer in the world, It is truly my passion and I love to learn! Artisan is really the only studio in the area that has affordable, drop-in friendly adult classes. Been going off and on since around 2016 and there are lots of class offerings in all styles on evenings and weekends to try. If you want to work on technique or be helped by the instructor, make sure you start with the "absolute beginner" offerings because most of the classes are choreo based and are fast paced. Don't know what I would do without Artisan! It has been key to helping me re-visit my passion for dance and give me opportunities that I thought would be lost after college!

I also need to start working my memory to assist my cognitive abilities. What better way than to dance!!! The day I went, we learned choreography to S&M by Rihanna. I was nervous in the beginning because I know I'm nowhere near as flexible than I use to be. I had to be the oldest there and I was tired before we started. The dance was sexy, but I have always identified as a Lucille Ball. Can you even imagine? Don't try. lol The staff was just the right amount of encouraging and pushy. I had fun and felt accomplished by the end of the session. I learned the choreography and my balance improved. I noticed that they didn't have a clock on the wall, which I thought was diabolical and smart. This way I focused on the class and not the clock.
