    Having never danced, we attended one of the dance recitals they have a couple of times a year. I…read morewanted to sign my daughter up to learn formal dance (unfortunately, she isn't interested enough yet), and it was an absolutely lovely event! The owners greeted us warmly, they had a beautiful and bountiful hors-d'oeuvres spread. They had dancers of different ages putting on rehearsed dance routines. It was so nice to see. If my knee weren't injured, I'd be signing up immediately!! It's a great, convenient venue, and the dancers looked like they were having a "ball"! ;) Highly recommend this place. Not sure about all the racial generalizations/allegations made by another reviewer who made a ridiculous judgement based on what must have been a 5 min encounter; but these folks are NOT prejudiced and very nice people...and they know their dance moves!!

    So, my Muslim friend & I must have missed the memo that the owner isn't interested in talking…read morenicely to people do not look like him or the people who must attend his classes. We just stopped in this establishment to inquire about classes, etc. It was obvious by the look on his face & the rude tone in his voice that he did not want to be bothered with us. He looked at us as if to say, "Who gave you permission to come in here?" There was not a class going on at the time we entered, in fact, there was only one lady (who looked just as surprised to see us in there, too), so we were not disturbing a class or private lesson. Lesson learned, I should have called first, since I have been told that I sound "white" on the phone. Maybe then, he would have been willing to share information about his business.

    When we moved to the Prince George area I called around to many schools in the area. Jennifer was…read morethe first to call me back. The kids here enjoy a bully free zone. They are able to dance and never worry about being bullied. The instructors here are all great.

    This place is a nightmare- their competition dancers are fine, but the rest they couldn't care less…read moreabout. Their tap classes are a joke, utilizing the same moves from Kinderdance to advanced. Their gymnastics classes don't even get to flips, just cartwheels, and their jazz is average. Ballet is good. Her business is kept afloat by a few key families which you'll notice during their end of year recital because they are in 6-8 dances a piece. There is a heavy focus on costumes, props, and wandering around the stage rather than ACTUAL dancing, and their recital gets very boring very quickly. But that's just the icing on the cake- don't plan to use your card to pay for anything besides the classes- almost everything is cash only. Their teachers play favorites, and those that didn't departed abruptly in the middle of the year surrounding a few rumors that were less than kind about the owner. Regardless as to the truth of said rumors, it is quite obvious that there is a LOT of drama going on and it is significantly, (and detrimentally), affecting her business. There are several costs at various times that crop up out of nowhere- can't be in the parade unless the OUTER layer says Dance Kraze, have to wear the right colored tights (and if your class has two outfits, it's different colors for each), super expensive & poor quality pictures, etc etc. The end of the season is BRUTAL in unexpected expenses, so just be prepared. It's also run through her friends and family, which probably has a lot to do with the expense. With perhaps one exception (Thank you Jason), her event staff is indescribably rude and disrespectful, in addition to being inconsistent. Gods forbid you say anything about it, because they will get in your face and try to power play you to get you to cower in submission and retreat. Or ignore you. Or try to walk through you. Not a place I will ever be returning to. And yet the biggest problem is the fact that the recital was held in a school with LIVE CAMERAS and there were girls CHANGING IN THE HALLWAYS WHO WERE NOT TOLD, DESPITE the fact that the dance studio was informed. Well beyond acceptable to me. We will most DEFINITELY not be returning next year.

    My 16 year old granddaughter has been with AOD since she was THREE and still LOVES IT! Great…read moreatmosphere and friendly staff. Like one big happy family!

    This is my first year here and so far I am so so about this place. Not overly impressed to be…read morehonest. I signed my 3 year old up for dance and gymnastics. I don't like that we can't see inside the classrooms. I understand that parents inside the studio would cause a distraction, but for being in this specific location (Jefferson Ave one at east) it's been there for over 15+ years. You'd think the school would have invested in some camera system where the parents could watch from their phones or something. Again, my daughter is three so I'm not expecting a whole lot. But, it would be nice to know what she's learning. Also, I don't like how I was asked to bring my daughter to a 3:30 or 4:30 time slot or that I could get a refund, as the school needed to accommodate more students. I understand that, but I do not get off work till about 4:30. So after trying one more week I was going to ask for the refund, but then another instructor told me to keep my daughter in with the 6 year olds since there's only 4 weeks of class left. It seems like the teachers are great, I'm not knocking them at all. I think it's more management and the whole building set up. The parking lot is a nightmare to try and get out of if you're parked in the back, mainly. If you register your kid here, park at 1st advantage to save some time.
