ONE MILLION STARS! Five is NOT enough!…read more I had the 15 piece band at my wedding and it was the best money ever spent! Impressive is an understatement. They played as I walked down the aisle, at my reception and after they played their two sets, they spun some rad 80's tunes per my request. My vintage themed wedding was complete....I swear Frank Sinatra (Paul King) was crooning as we got our swing on. Guests raved...and as a bride it was one of the highlights to my big day...I wish I could have pulled up a chair and watched in wonderment with my full attention. If you love the Rat Pack, Count Bassie and, Cab Calloway, you have got to check out RSO! If I was in Michigan, I would go to all the battle of the bands and swing events with RSO, and I would be the first one there. Gary was great to communicate with...very professional...and very helpful! He even got a hold of my venue managers that were a tad aloof... RIP to the sound guy and DJ, Chris Best, he was shot and killed the weekend after our wedding.... Big love to this Big Band!!!

Between my 3 daughters (one with special needs) we have danced at 4 different studios in the area. We have had a very negative experience with bullying at another studio in particular. Pointe Academy's nurturing, non-competitive (but still striving for excellence), and family friendly environment is exactly why we will dance no where else, even though the location is not particularly close for us. The teachers really care about the dancers and offer loving, professional instruction. The studio is small, but that is also one thing I like about it, because the dancers get to know each other and become one big, supportive family. Pointe Academy is a real jewel in Rochester Hills!

I can't say enough good about Bev's Dance Studio. Miss Bev is kind, thoughtful and loving and her…read moreknowledge base is excellent and she is able to teach her skills to others. She teaches the Royal Academy of Dance, London England (RAD) method which is recognized world-wide, and is a certified RAD teacher. Some dancers come for recreational dance and some come for the dance education which can be transferred to college credits in some states. She does encourage those students that look forward to attending college to focus on their dance for scholarship. She treats all students like they were her own. There is a boutique next door The Lily Pad for dance supplies and gifts - very nice. If you like to criticize others or find fault with others, this is not the place for you. Miss Bev works very hard at making her studio a family friendly place and nurtures family's and creates new friendships. I have been a part of this studio for many years. Started out when I was younger and my children danced here too. Now after my children went to college I'm back at the studio dancing and loving it. Thank you Miss Bev and staff.

First, let me make this clear: I am a former student and I took lessons at Bev's for over a decade…read more Bev is very well trained and knowledgable, but that's about it. Bev is a controlling and degrading woman, and she expects that you will do nothing else than dance at her studio. If you play sports, participate in other school activities, or have anything else going on it better not interfere with her dance schedule, or you'll be yelled at for it. She actually passed out forms that were to be signed saying that homework was not an excuse and would not be tolerated as an excuse to miss class! Let's be real here: 99% of girls dancing do not plan to do it professionally; they are doing it for fun, like myself. And, if you do plan to dance professionally, you are sure not going to stay at a place like Bev's - you'll be studying at the Joffrey, or the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, etc. Missing a class here and there is not a big deal. I personally witnessed Bev demean students, calling them fat, and if she didn't like you, everyone knew it. If she likes you, and you massage her ego enough, she will shower you in preferential treatment. One example is skipping levels in ballet - I know of several girls who were in Grade V one year and, magically, jumped to Grade VIII/Elementary the very next year! And let's not forget her "recitals" - oh, excuse me, "productions". I have never seen a studio owner so in love with herself. The recitals are always themed: Wizard of Oz, Beauty and the Beast, etc. Therefore, not only do you watch the dances, but you're forced to watch the "scenes" from the stories - acted out, of course, by her favorite students and the teachers. This makes her recitals unnecessarily long and drawn out. And Bev ALWAYS plays the lead role. See, Bev didn't make it as a professional dancer, so this is her way of pretending that she did. Why not have the students shine and have auditions for the character parts?? Because that takes away from Bev! All of the recitals are at the Macomb Center for the Performing Arts, so ticket prices are high. Bev refuses to have her recital anywhere else. There's absolutely no reason why she couldn't bring prices down by choosing a high school auditorium - lots of studios do it! - but then Bev wouldn't have her private dressing room. And if you ever leave her studio and switch to a different one? Better not let Bev find out where you went. She will personally call up that studio and bad-mouth you. Don't believe me? I personally know who she did it to! So, you're probably asking yourself, why the hell did I stay if it was so bad? Well, I made some really good friends, and the other teachers are good. I certainly wasn't Bev's favorite (I needed to lose a good 30 pounds for that), but she didn't hate me either. It wasn't all bad, and I knew I wasn't dancing professionally, so I overlooked the bad stuff until I graduated high school and left. I don't regret my time there, but I will NOT send my two daughters there. I know of many other studios that are much better. I hope Bev has gotten better in the years since I've left, but somehow, I doubt it.
