    Both my daughters were lifelong dancers at Wilson. My younger one is now a dance major at a large…read moreuniversity here is her review, "I danced at Wilson for 15 years and wouldn't trade my experience there for the world. I continue to keep up with the teachers and friends I met there. The staff were invested in my learning and my creative development. Through Wilson I had the chance to dance for the Harlem Globetrotters halftime show and the Cherry Blossom Parade in DC along with many other performances. I am forever grateful that I got to grow up dancing there." My other daughter used to say it felt like home. Would highly recommend - because the school is quality. Your children are known and valued AND given an excellent dance education.

    Wilson School of Dance is an incredible experience for young girls and boys. The entire staff is…read moreprofessional and skilled - but more importantly they are kind and caring. Every child is considered unique and while team/group leaning is important, Juanita and her staff ensure each child's individual needs and characteristics are nurtured. Juanita's kindness and caring carries over to all that attend this school. Older students mentor younger ones. If you have to sum up this school in one word it would be KINDNESS. Yes they are learning, yes Juanita demands the best from each student. But over it all there is a sense of teamwork, caring, and kindness.

    We were new to the area three years ago and my 8 year old daughter was eager to enroll in a…read moreperforming arts school where she could study hip hop, jazz and take vocal lessons. I had a gut feeling walking in to Miss Mona's that we hadn't chosen wisely. The two older women who seemingly ran the organization spoke to the children in a tone that reminded me of Joan Crawford in Mommy Dearest and when they weren't belittling children, they were gossiping salaciously about other dance schools in the area. Against our better judgment, we tried anyway because of the vocal component. It didn't last and after the first recital, we politely informed them via email that we wouldn't be returning. Today I just paid the summons on the court filing issued against us for quitting this horrendous farce of a performing arts school more than two years ago. They alleged that we owed them fees plus interest. I suppose this is what you must resort to when your school is failing and you need money. You have a family member who happens to be an attorney file frivolous law suits against ten year olds who hated your environment so much that she cried before every class, even though this very activity was her passion all her young life. If you're new to the Roanoke Valley, trust me...avoid Miss Mona's at all costs. My daughter is now thriving at Divine Dance Academy, but there are so many options in our region. Do yourself a favor, find one that isn't run by mean spirited has beens looking to make a dime at the expense of your child's self esteem and passion.

    Methinks not indeed. If you have a 5 year old be very careful about Miss Mona's. My child loved…read moredance and had some great experiences with various schools and classes, she did not like this one and so to keep the dance experience positive we decided to give it a rest. BIG MISTAKE apparently. When you join you are made to sign a barrage of paperwork (yes-for a 5 year old). If you do decide to back out expect a VERY aggressive call from the owner about legal action for payments after cancellation - such as a recital you will not be attending and associated dresses etc. For a small town such as Salem I am surprised that this business model is the one they have chosen. The overall experience for my child was harsh and negative and it was for the parents too, just a place to be avoided-for a 5 year old. Update: we just received a letter requesting payment (after we asked for the bill so we could be rid of them) with a notice saying they will call collections if not paid-friendly and courteous is not in there brand. We will make sure everyone in our circle, schools and family are aware as well-good luck if you are involved with them!!
