We will not be returning.

On June 6, 2016, I watched instructor Ali teach an hourlong class of about 35 elementary-schoolers…read more She led them through many steps, engaging them with jokes and great little instructional asides. All her analogies made the kids laugh, and as the hour wore on, she had them more and more. Not only did they learn all the steps and moves with gusto, by the end of the hour, they loved her. What a joy to watch as they asked her to dance at the end, then, after she had and they clapped, they rushed her to give her hugs and dance with her. She knows children as well as she knows dance, which is very well indeed. Of note to me also was the fact that she encouraged boys to dance and express themselves, appreciating how important that is for our society. Expressing creative emotions in a safe, structured environment makes our world a better place. Kudos, Dance Vision USA.

My two daughters take hip hop and ballet here. They are four and five years old. We are just about…read moreto finish up our first month of classes and love it!! This studio is family ran and you can tell. It's super welcoming here! Every staff member, from the instructors to the parents in the waiting room are really friendly!! What I'm mostly impressed with is the love, the connection and the passion, each staff member has for every single students. All while maintaining structure and control of the class. There's so many students and it's very impressive to see them connect to each and every dancer. They are super organized, have great communication and always send out emails on updates. I called 4-5 different studios, before I found Encore, with no call backs from my voicemails, no reply to my emails at all and the one studio that we did a trial class with was a a total fail. They put my girls in the totally wrong level class and the instructor was completely unprofessional. Encore replied immediately and got us right in.!! So, don't settle for just any studio they are not all the same. I have a 19 year old daughter and have been through this industry before. I'm a dancer myself, (well I'm only dancing in the kitchen these days lol) but let me tell you, sometimes it is like an episode of dance moms and it's important to find the right fit if your trying to build your child's confidence in dance and plan on having them dance long term. Check Encore out!! They are amazing!!! They really care about their dancers!! I'm very happy to become part of the family!!!!

Geared toward kids who are working toward professional dance careers, this program prepares them in every way, physically, practically, and with the knowledge they will need. I cannot recommend Encore enough!!!

Moving your feet isn't so bad when you have a company like this leading the way. It's the…read morepractical way of pursuing one's Dancing With The Stars dream, only in a much slower pace just short of a Dance Dance Revolution. From the fox trot to the tango, they've got it all. Classes are going to range from $35-50 per month / 5 weeks, which I think is a fairly good deal considering all of the dance instruction. Most people who I've encountered here seem very happy with the whole set up. Facilities are top notch as there is plenty of room to dance and rest along the sidelines. Though class enrollment fills up quickly, the actual onsite classes have just enough people to make sure everyone gets some bit of individual attention. The instructors here are super friendly and specialize in all sorts of different dance styles. Not everyone is born with twinkle toes, but they seem to do a great job in being patient and helping people get to where they want to be. Fear not solo visitors, they're also very good at pairing people with the right skill level. For those interested in taking their dancing to another level, this is a place to also train for competition. I've seen some photos of locals who are now professionals after taking their first dance steps here as a beginner. Whether you're a notice or a professional, this is an excellent place to learn. And if that's not enough, this is an excellent alternative to the gym for people looking to get fit.

Fun | Great for all kids…read more My daughter expressed an interest in doing dance this past year, so I thought I'd enroll her in a class here. I was recommended to also join this school from one of our neighbors. If you're looking to enroll your kids, they go by the academic school calendar, so enrollment begins around the time school starts. When schools are off on holidays and snow days, it applies to this dance school as well. It's something to keep in mind. My 6 yr old is enrolled in Miss Megan's Tap-Acro-Jazz Dance once a week. This age range is 5-6yr olds. She's about 4 months in into this class and enjoys it. Parents are not allowed to sit in and watch. However, there are two dates when parents are allowed to sit in and watch how much progress the kids have made since the start of class. It's a popular class, so it seems like a full class. They start off with tap warmups then work into their choreographies and switch to Jazz. They end the hour long class with acro, and this seems to be the favorite part of the class. My daughter tells me she loves acro because she gets to do fun exercises, like walking on a balance block. Everything is safe and appropriate for their age. Miss Megan has the class flowing well and transitions all of the kids onto the page somehow. Sometime in December they do measurements for performance clothing/ costumes in June. I believe it is about $100. Every month, the tuition is $72 paid through their website. For this particular class, kids need to buy jazz shoes, tap shoes, and a leotard or something similar. Communication is great, as Miss Megan sends a monthly newsletter with important events and dates coming up. We're excited to watch the showcase in June. So far, we recommend this activity and this school.

I highly recommend Innovative Dance to parents who are looking for a dance classes for their kids…read more Prior to Innovative, I had no experience with dance studios. I signed my daughter up in second grade, which is pretty young for a structured activity, especially for my then dreamy, imaginative child. Within a few weeks, she was loving it. Eight years later, she had taken most of the classes and levels, including three years of performance company and was ready for a steady stream of high school theater productions and classes at NW Dance Project in PDX. Now that she is in college, she is a teacher and choreographer herself at places like Willowbrook, Musical Theatre camps and dance classes. Campus organizations and professors invite her choreographic input. What's nice about dance is that it is not only a physical outlet but also a musical, theatrical and collaborative experience. Dancing is one of my daughter's greatest joys. I appreciate the whole extended team at Innovative from the past decade. Their collective work makes the world a better place.

If you are looking for professional ballet training for your son or daughter, this is where you…read morewant to go. We relocated 8 years ago from Los Gatos, CA and were referred to Sultanov Ballet Academy by the Los Gatos Ballet. We loved our studio and the performances; we were looking for what we had in California. Well, we found it and it came with sound instruction and discipline which resulted in amazing productions! Both my son and daughter attended Sultanov for the last 8 years and have danced in numerous Nutcracker Performances and wonderful spring performances such as Swan Lake and Don Quixote. Artur Sultanov works closely with the students and offers private classes which further develop their skills for advanced roles in performances and the opportunity to compete in dance competitions. We attended both YAGP and ADC IBC dance completions which resulted in attending nationals in both Tampa and New York. The training our children received at SBA developed them to go on to other opportunities, both dancing at their schools working toward higher education in dance. They love the theater and perform as often as they can. We are constantly entertained as they give us the gift of dance.

He enjoys the songs and the circle time and then loves exploring around on all the different soft gym mats. His teacher Jordan is amazing! Very energetic, welcoming, kind and careful with all the littles. My son lights up when we sing songs and try different stretches and tumbles. He likes to engage and see the other babies, so far he's been the smallest one in class so he really likes to see the other babies crawl around and play. We are in the bugs class so my self and my husband can both attend which has been so great. It's a family outing and we love seeing our little guy grow in his movement and social confidence! We also joined the little gym in the 4th of July parade which was such a fun experience! They have so many different offerings too like birthday rooms and a fun night class so parents can have a date night! So excited to continue our journey here. The location is great, the staff members are all super nice and always so friendly. 10/10 would highly recommend!

This might be a great dance studio if you signed your kid up young and then have been there for…read moreyears and years but if you have a child that is older, fourth/fifth or sixth grade, it's not great at all. Everyone, including the teachers are very much a clique and not the most welcoming. They don't take time with new kids or kids that are new to dance. They don't do anything to encourage a comfortable atmosphere for new kids and are very non-responsive when trying to get a hold of them. My daughter really wanted to be part of dance but after a few classes felt so disconnected and uncomfortable I just couldn't force her to go anymore. If you sign up, just know that if it doesn't work out you need to give a 30 day notice of cancellation, even if your child doesn't attend during that time, you will be charged.
