It's a great way for my kids to learn to follow instructors and practice dance. Every year they have a dance recital with all of the classes. It is several hours long which can be hard for young kids to sit through. But it is fun to see the kids show what they have learned and get comfortable in front of crowds. The Dance Academy shares a business with a preschool which two of my kids have attended. It has been a great way for the kids to prepare for kindergarten and meet new friends.

Oh How we will be FOREVER grateful to Davis Dance for taking a chance on her and putting her on this path that she has only dreamed of! But now in the spring, after learning SO MUCH from you guys, she made the team!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

If you're looking for a dance studio I would not recommend Studio 48. The program at this studio…read moreis really damaging to young kids self-esteem and love for dance. Studio 48 offers regular classes and competition classes. The regular classes are ok although they don't reallly teach the kids much. They offer tumbling and cheer as well, and those classes are even more pitiful than the dance classes. I guess if your only expectation is your child learning how to do a summer salt then you're in the right place. The dance classes are just the kids learning a basic routine for the spring recital. They don't really teach any skills but they will charge you a ton for the costumes. If you go to the studio long enough you learn that the regular dance routines are just repeats of the same moves and music done over and over again. Not much effort being made on your child's behalf and definitely not worth the money you're going to spend. Should they talk you into joining the competition team you'll learn pretty quickly that you've signed your innocent child up for emotional bootcamp. They say everyone makes the competition teams and this is primarily true because they really want your money. However, do not be fooled. Each age group is divided into two teams. The good and the bad. The good team will have the hand picked girls. It's very rare that another girl is allowed to be on the good team once the team has been made. These girls will stay together and age up through the ranks. These girls may be on the good team but they have not escaped the emotional turmoil as even the good teams are subjected to fighting amongst parents and teammates. Teachers encourage rivalry amongst the girls to get them to try their best as they are always competing for the top spot. My child was on one of the "good teams" and its no secret among the teachers and the owners that the "good team" gets the best music, best costumes, best spots in the routines etc etc. They even have their own teachers reserved only for the good teams while the other "everyone makes the team" teams are left with whoever the studio needs to give hours to. The girls on the bad teams surely have the better end of the deal because there is definitely less pressure however, the studio makes the "good" and "bad" team situation very obvious. Its clear to everyone which teams are the reject teams and this fact is not lost on the young impressionable girls that are dedicating so much time and energy to their dance passion. The girls feel the sting of not being one of the favorites and I think it takes a huge toll on their self esteem. Some of the teachers employ a tough love philosophy and they will openly criticize the girls during practice and point out who is dancing well vs. who is dancing poorly. Such tactics are so emotionally damaging for young people and no real educator or teacher would ever employ such methods with young children. Public embarrassment does not a dancer make. Additionally, some of the girls will hit or name call during class and the teachers rarely address it if they address it at all. How many times I've picked my child up from dance class to learn someone kicked her or pulled her hair or made fun of the way she looks. When I contacted the management about such frustrations I was told that my daughter is lying to me and made to feel like I was the first parent in history to bring such accusations to their attention when most of the other moms I spoke with had similar complaints. All in all, this is just what I've heard from other parents and my own personal opinion. I would recommend finding a studio that helps students build self esteem and a love for dance rather than destroying any self esteem they are so desperately holding on to in the trials and tribulations of adolescents.

If i could give zero stars i would. Horribly, unfriendly staff and owners. We had lost a family…read moremember in March of 2017 and i personally informed the owner Dallas that my daughter wasn't going to make it to that Thursdays practice due to my aunts services being the same time and day. Dallas then threatened that if my daughter did not show up for practice on Thursday she would not be able to preform in the competition that Saturday. I informed Dallas that we understood the consequences but there was no way we were missing my aunts services. As i was leaving the office Dallas shouted "You sure have a lot of deaths in your family" as if this was an excuse i was using for my daughter to miss practice. We pored over $3000 a year into comp fees and costumes. I would never use death as an excuse to miss anything. We finished the comp year out with stuido 48 because we were under a contract and as of may 2017 i refuse to put another dime into their pockets. Also my daughters technique did not improve within the years she attended they only stayed consistent and it seemed like they favored and focused on students that were in more than one class more than students that only attended one class. Very unfair.

We always traveled with the group and had a great time. I have never come across a more genuine, caring and giving person.

Heidi and Brett are the most amazing people. If some of her former dancers are posting lies might I say to them don't forget what Heidi did for you!!!!

Love this dance studio! They are so great with the kids and make them feel valued. My daughter…read morecame from a studio that was over crowded, didn't teach proper technique and would sometimes make her cry. Dance image studios has been there polar opposite of that experience! The teachers and owners are so invested in all of the kids and truly see to care. They laugh and joke with the kids and make it fun. Their competition teams are awesome, and they treat their recreational dance groups as if they have just as much value. Everyone there feels like they matter, and I haven't seen this at any other studio locally. They also do hop hop for boys, tumbling, and a special needs class that is completely free. I loved that they did that special needs class, and they do not boast that they do it - but when a mom of one of the special needs kids told me it was completely free for them, I was even more impressed. It speaks volumes of the kind of people they are. They even include them in the recital which I love! I HIGHLY recommend this studio. My daughter absolutely loves it and it's been a stress free and happy experience.
