My daughter danced here for 5 years on their competition team. In the beginning it was great. But…read morefor the last couple of years, my husband and I were unhappy due to the lack of financial transparency and poor communication between the owners Annalise and Joe Espinosa. I also did not like the lack of security in the parking lot and between the buildings where the children walked between classes. Many cars were broken into during business hours while children were dancing and there are no security cameras between buildings. When the original coaches left, we knew we couldn't keep our dancer there. The Surge Dance Center owes us $600.50 and refuses to refund us. Things that I paid for includes charges for costumes that were never ordered and competition fees that were fully refunded to the Surge, but not to me.

I feel compelled to share this review to combat that overwhelming conflict of interest demonstrated…read moreby the family, employees, and minors being solicited by the owners of this studio to post 5-star reviews. Long story short, the owners of this studio owe dozens of former clients hundreds of dollars each, for outstanding credits on our accounts in direct violation of the State AG's order that requires cash refunds rather than credits. Our family is owed nearly $500 and there are thousands more owed to others. I've held my tongue for long enough. Imagine being so petty, as a dance studio owner, that you would refuse to release a convention scholarship to the kid who earned it just because they have moved on to a different studio. You, as the former studio, have no use for it, but you feel the need to punish the CHILD out of some misguided vendetta. Now imagine that this is dozens of students who just want to enjoy dance. We left on good terms. We completed our contract despite the challenges of early COVID that saw the owners strangely absent. There is no legitimate reason that we should not recoup those credits, particularly as they are refunds for costumes that the owners never purchased for our children. So much wrong with the way these folks have handled this. They ran their business with poor cash-flow practices that left them vulnerable and "compensated" labor and refunds via "credit" rather than true compensation. It would not surprise me to learn that employees were treated as independent contractors, "volunteers" working in exchange for tuition for their children, or paid under the table to avoid payroll fees or taxes. Families have been left without costumes paid for pre-covid but never purchased or distributed by the studio. Hundreds owed to former clients who were not refunded fees for competitions that never happened. Given the option to take a 50% refund in cash or 100% in store credit before anyone knew the full extent of COVID's impact...again, for money for competitions that never occurred. Money that was refunded to the studio by the competition organizers, but never fully repaid to the clients. Perhaps the $80,000 acquired through PPP loans could offset your poor business decisions. Perhaps that money went, instead to the studio opened in LA in yhe midst of the chaos in this location.. A year after the bottom fell out and families are still fighting to be made financially whole. Now imagine, after all of this, you attend a zoning hearing to protest the proposed location of a new studio formed by the people who left. A studio to be located in a city where you hold neither a business nor a residence. Arguing on the grounds of what you ignorantly claim to be inevitable parking issues blindly based on business assumptions regarding a model you know nothing about, in neighborhood that eagerly supports the new studio. Imagine stalking your former employees and clients in an effort to undermine their current and future endeavors out of some vendetta you have cooked up to demonize those of us who moved on. Stay classy, Surge...

We absolutely love the owner, staff, and teachers and communication with parents is excellent. I would recommend to those who are wanting to dance at any level from recreational to those with processional aspirations. My daughter has received top training and has had the most incredible teachers over the years!! She trains in every style offered and I fully believe she'd live at the studio if possible :D Additionally I recommend checking out their amazing competition team program. A BIG thing I love is that they offer sensory friendly performances and have a beautiful danceABLE program. I really don't feel there is anywhere else like Allegro in WA state. Thank you Allegro for being my daughter's home away from home.

This is not a good place for parents. 96 percent of them are brown nosing fake arse liers. 3 percent make up the owners and staff.

My daughter had to miss the recital because she was ill and it took months to get her costume. Every time I called, I was told that the owner would call me back.

When the owner finally contaxted me, I was told that everything from the recital was still in a trailer or attic and they needed to go through it. Hmmmm ok. It took MONTHS before they finally had the costume for me. So ridiculous. I should also mention that the Puyallup location I so gross! Dirty facility. Parents let their babies and toddlers run all over the place and leave trash. I couldn't believe it. No one asks them to be polite and stop talking inappropriately and loudly. It smells like dirty diapers. "Regulars" are dropped off and treat the facility like a dumpster. Yuck. Classes always started late as well.

Where have you been all my life?!!! We found out they've…read moreonly been around for a couple of years. Family owned business, dad helps out, so does their son, mom teaches pottery classes. So we celebrated 5 birthdays, 12 of us came to paint ceramics, we brought snacks, and drinks. If you didn't have any snacks, this place has snacks and candy you can purchase. Since we were a large group we took the upstairs level. Not easy for people with knee problems, but we managed. So we set up our snacks, Italian sodas, and birthday cake, then we went downstairs to choose what we wanted to paint. Items range anywhere from 20.00 and up. One of the birthday girls had to bring her granddaughter and she had a blast. Another young gal took her newborn and carried him in a pouch while she painted. Staff was very helpful. We had a color chart to choose our colors, we told them what we wanted and they brought to us and replenished paint when needed. Each station had water, sponges, brushes, lazy Susan, and a tray for your paint. We held the space for two hours. Perfect timing because they closed at 5pm on Sunday. They will glaze our projects, and next week one of us will pick it up and bring to everyone. Now we want to go back and take a pottery class. Everything is so affordable including the classes. So glad this one exists, because the one we used to go to in Auburn to pain canvas closed down permanently. I posted a photo of the wall of ceramics to choose from.

I've been to a few paint your own pottery places and had recently seen this place so decided to…read morestep in a whim with two people. Make sure you wear layers, it was FREEZING inside. I'm used to more of a selection of pottery to paint, but there were still definitely something for everyone, but it might have skewed more to items for kids. Prices were higher than I've seen at other places, but this is more of a mom and pop type shop so I'm glad to pay it. After you pick out your pieces you are given a tiny pallette for your colors and you have to write down your color choices for the worker to dole out your paint to you. I didn't love this. I can see how this is helpful from kids using too much paint or making a mess. but with three adults it was a bit annoying to have to keep asking for more paint refills. We weren't given any direction on what to do. Two of us had done this before but one of us hadn't so we had to be the one to tell him to wipe the dust off your piece, make sure to do three coats, etc. When we got our finished pieces back, I was a little surprised that the entire piece wasn't glazed. I'm used to every side being glazed including the bottom. One of us painted a turtle and he left part of the face blank, and that part didn't get glazed which was pretty weird.
