My family and I joined Ignite Dance Studio a year ago, and we're still amazed by how much my son enjoys it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Right from the start, the staff and other dancers made us feel welcome.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The instructors are skilled, patient, and truly care about teaching. Their positive energy makes every class enjoyable and motivating. The studio is clean, spacious, and has a great atmosphere for creativity. No matter your experience level, you'll find classes that fit. With options like ballet, contemporary, and hip-hop, there's always something new to try. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What makes Ignite special is the strong sense of community. Everyone supports each other and shares a real love for dance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Because of this, my son has grown not just as a dancer, but also in his confidence and happiness. If you are looking for a dance studio that combines top-notch instruction, a welcoming community, and a passion for the art of dance, look no further than Ignite and its brilliant owner, Ms. Lisa. I can't recommend it highly enough! read more

What can I say about Ignite Dance Center? [[HIGHLIGHT]]At first, the studio felt very welcoming. The owner was friendly, approachable, and all smiles.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Over time, however, our daughter began sharing concerns about her experiences. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As parents, we made an effort to follow up appropriately by emailing, and to their credit, we did receive timely responses.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Most recently, we reached out regarding ongoing concerns about a staff member whose classroom behavior and treatment of students had been mentioned negatively on multiple occasions. Our daughter reported being yelled at and spoken down to, which prompted us to request a meeting with both the owner and the staff member to address the issue directly. Unfortunately, once the staff member became aware of the meeting, he began posting about parents on social media in a way that felt inappropriate and unprofessional. This only added to our concerns. The meeting itself did not go well. We were met with a level of unprofessionalism, immaturity, and smugness that was disappointing, especially in an environment meant to support children. Competitive dance is a significant investment, and it should be a space that builds confidence and nurtures joy--not diminishes it. What was most concerning was the owner's stated support of the staff member's behavior. While she presents herself as professional, supporting conduct that negatively impacts students sends the wrong message. If you're not part of the solution, you become part of the problem. This was our experience when trying to address concerns at this studio. read more

Ignite was once a studio we were genuinely proud to be part of. We bought into the "Good Vibes Only", and for several years, it truly felt like a positive, welcoming space for both students and parents. Unfortunately, that environment has steadily declined--while this studio may offer programs that initially appeal to families seeking strong dance training, the overall atmosphere is unfortunately dominated by the owner's unprofessional behavior. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Over time, it became clear that concerns--especially about student treatment and behavior--were either quietly dismissed or not taken seriously, particularly when they involved individuals close to the studio owner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What could have been opportunities for healthy dialogue and support were instead met with defensiveness, avoidance, or silence. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Feedback often wasn't accepted constructively, and those trying to advocate for a stronger, more positive community felt shut out or even penalized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication became a recurring and painful issue. When parents raised questions or sought clarity on matters affecting student well-being or fairness, they often felt stonewalled.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Rather than support teamwork and personal growth, the environment began to reflect anxiety, favoritism, and exclusion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Even after years of dedication--through seasons, events, and consistent support--our family's eventual departure wasn't acknowledged in even the smallest way. No thank you, no goodbye--just silence.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One deeply troubling aspect has been the studio owner's unprofessional conduct. She regularly sits in the lobby and openly discusses personal matters of other families, including her grievances or conflicts with them. This ongoing gossip culture has created a space that feels anything but welcoming. Students and parents alike have witnessed and overheard these conversations, leading to an atmosphere thick with tension and distrust. Some parents now avoid the lobby entirely, waiting in their cars or sitting outside rather than exposing themselves to the negativity inside. [[HIGHLIGHT]]More alarming is the fear many parents feel around speaking up. Advocating for your child can quickly become risky if it clashes with the owner's opinions.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a real concern that dancers might suffer consequences--being left out of key parts, overlooked for opportunities, or just outright being called a liar. This culture of fear is not only unhealthy but completely counter to what a youth dance environment should represent and the core values touted by the studio owner. And if that's not enough, the owner often speaks disparagingly about other local studios in front of parents and students, fostering a false sense of isolation. Parents are left feeling trapped--as if no better alternatives exist while being made to feel that leaving Ignite would be a betrayal rather than a personal choice rooted in what's best for their child. While the studio may offer classes and experiences that initially seem enticing, the atmosphere beneath the surface is fraught with gossip, favoritism, and strained communication. In a place intended to nurture talent and build confidence, this environment falls short of its potential due to leadership that breeds anxiety rather than empowerment. It's a disappointing reality for many families caught between wanting the best for their child and enduring the discomfort of a toxic studio culture. Update:The owner's response only proves my point -- it's easy for her to dismiss a long‑time family once we're no longer happy, even after we supported her studio for many years. That history and loyalty deserve more than a polite dismissal, but I won't hold my breath. read more

* The studio is not ADA compliant, making it inaccessible for dancers or guests with disabilities. This isn't just an oversight--it's a legal and ethical failure. * Many of the "teachers" are high school students with no formal training or certifications, which raises serious concerns about quality and safety. * [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment allows for bullying and favoritism, and instead of addressing it, leadership either ignores it or subtly reinforces it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is a serious lack of professionalism. Front desk staff can be openly rude to both parents and students.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] * Lisa acts as the director, studio owner, manager, and final decision-maker, which creates a biased and imbalanced power dynamic. There's no real accountability, and it's clear that favoritism plays a major role in who gets what. [[HIGHLIGHT]]If you ever speak up, ask questions, or raise concerns, be prepared for a shift in how you or your child are treated. It's an environment that values silence and compliance over open communication.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I wouldn't wish this experience on another family, especially those who expect transparency, fairness, and professionalism in a space that's meant to nurture young dancers. read more

After being a part of 3 different studios in the valley, I have found my families forever dance home. The owner and staff run a very family friendly studio in an encouraging and positive environment focusing on the growth and development of each dancer to reach their potential - not the expectations of judges and or other studios or parents. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At Ignite, my child is more than just a tuition payment. More than a trophy or bragging rights. My child is seen. My child is loved and accepted[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ignite Dance studio has become an extension of my family and the comradery I have gained with other dance parents reaches far beyond the sterotypical "dance mom" archetype. We are a village.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The studio and parents collaboratively love and care for all of the dancers from the tiniest tot to the newer teachers being mentored to share their love and passion for dance. Two years ago when learning about Ignite I was told the number one rule was to be nice. People who are not nice cannot stay. I am grateful for a studio and owner that protects my child's creative sanctuary and cares not only about teaching dance but teaching how to be good humans. We need more of that in this world. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

See all

My daughter just started going here and she loves it. I love that she consistently has the same teacher in her class, she makes new friends with common interests and she catches onto the moves rather quickly. The owner and employees are all very social and are always chatting with the dancers parents and not each other which is another thing that I like as well, it makes me always feel welcome. read more

I just wanted to give Miss Audrey and Miss Jesse some positive feedback! Not only does my child love ignite dance center, but really loves her hip hop/tumbling class. She went from not knowing any tumbling to being able to do an almost perfect cartwheel in the matter of months and at age 5! I find that to be pretty amazing! So not often do we get positive feedback and I wanted to take the time to leave some! Great job in teaching these kids the fundamentals and the confidence to do such great things! This world has been scary and challenging so to find somewhere your child is safe, can be themselves (worry free), have fun learning such cool things is priceless!! You guys are awesome!! read more
