I signed up for their Adult BEGINNER Hip Hop dancing class. I have ZERO hip hop dancing experience…read moreand wanted some basics. The class specifically stated: "Adult Hip Hop Dancers will learn movement that has elements of popping, locking, breaking, dance hall, funk, as well as freestyle movement to give students the opportunity to develop their own sense of style. No experience needed!!" Well, this sounded EXACTLY like what I needed as I don't know how to pop or lock or break or any of the lingo that goes with Hip Hop. My natural assumption was that this class was for BEGINNERS who knew nothing and would learn from the beginning. When I arrived at the class, most of the participants had taken this class last year and were already knowledgeable in the moves and how to hip hop dance. This made me uncomfortable because I was expecting to learn as a BEGINNER, not try and play catch up with people already experienced. The 4 that had no experience like me spent the class trying not to look stupid compared to the experienced dancers. No instructions were given on how to do moves, the instructor spent exactly 50% of that first class picking music out and then changing her mind and then we just jumped into a VERY FAST choreographed dance number. If a class is touted as beginner level, then only beginners should be in the class and the instructor should 1)be prepared and have the class planned before they get there w/all music preloaded and 2)TEACH THE BEGINNERS, not cater to the people who have already taken the class. Looks like I'll just settle w/Youtube and learning my moves there...

It was difficult picking just one class because there were so many of them I wanted to take. Lawrence Arts Center has so much to offer all age groups. My class was a human hodge podge of ages and experience. The building is stunning. You are immediately taken in by the color collections and the great use of space and light of this building. Everywhere you look there is alluring and interesting artwork. Even the elevator interior is adorned with colorful sunflower art. This is a happy place, a very happy place. The classrooms are spacious and light. They have all sorts of cool equipment for the students to create their artwork. The instructors are all very knowledgeable and experienced in their craft. I was very impressed with the accommodations provided. There is ample parking and a parking garage is located across the street. There is no issue with access. All in all this is a terrific asset to the city. If you have some time on your hands and find yourself downtown, this is the place to be!

I was also impressed by the sheer number of programs they boast here from theater and singing, metal working, pressing, painting, sculpture, etc. Many of these can be seen on display in the galleries about the building. They also have early school and learning centers attached. It makes for a very cool place for the arts crowd to gather.

When I went to find out…read morewhat happened, there were no adults in the room to speak with and I left feeling uneasy with a story that my child, "just fell and hit her head, that happens." Deena had to leave and said she didn't know what happened. Following an email I sent, Deena called and explained to me, "There was and emergency and no time to call parents, I had to teach the older kids' class." During this phone call, I found out the children 2-5 years old were left without an adult present for a hour that day and she has no intention of implementing an emergency protocol even if there was something like a heart attack going on. She will tell you that she hopes your kid keeps coming to dance and then hang up on you when you are voicing real concerns.

Very helpful and diligent about getting rude people to turn off their bright cell phones and watches. I loved that. The major shortcoming is that they desperately need someone directing traffic at the west exit after the show. It took far too long. People weren't bright enough to use both lanes going out of the lot, so it was very time consuming. This must be improved.

I'm not a mom who is looking to get her kid into hard-core, serious, competitive dance (although they have the trophies to back that up, if that is what you're looking for). I'm just a mom who wanted a social environment for her toddler who loves music, and loves dancing around the house. We did the little 6-week summer classes, and we loved it. We do not have a lot of disposable income. At all. So anything I sign my kid up for, I have to really consider. There's a lot of things we can't afford, but re-enrolling for fall classes wasn't even a question. It may sound silly to say after just 6 classes, but this place already feels like home. Warm and inviting doesn't even begin to cover it. My daughter loves it. I love it. I had no idea I'd have such strong feelings about a dance company after 6 weeks, but here we are.

The staff and volunteers are so nice. My daughter enjoys her instructor, Ms Missy. They prorate your tuition if you get in after they've begun. You can even try a class to see if you like it before you enroll. They discourage parents hanging around and potentially distracting the class (with younger kids) but our night class has been great thus far. Since it's dark out, the kids can't really see the parents outside. They start my daughter's class off with tap shoes and then change over to ballet on the latter part of the class. Price is about par with other places around town but we chose it based on longevity and experience.
