I love that they limit the size of the classes so that the girls can learn and the student/teacher ratio is not to high to prevent them from getting individual attention. The price for classes is very reasonable and even more so if your children are in multiple classes. The recitals are well put together, very organized and the costumes are always very beautiful or fun. There is a very nice waiting area for parents with tv's to watch their kids while they practice as well as free wi-fi. If it is a nice day, there is a courtyard with fountains and benches. Connolly Dance Arts is the best in Katy!

I had two children there today for half day camp. There was no communication about buying sno cones today. The children felt left out and there is no plan for children who didn't have the $5. Surely the management could have helped them feel included and provided the treats. I know the response will be "then we would have to do that for everyone." No you don't. Communicate better and have a plan. We won't be going back. Staff are jist too rude to treat paying customers as though they're gum on the bottom of the shoe.

FADS is a chain dance studio not exclusive to the Gulf Coast area. You can find information online…read moreabout how they structure their programs and you are going to form your own opinion on whether or not you think its a good value. Having been going to FADS Katy for 4 months, and having gone to as many group classes as I can attend, my perspective has changed as I have learned more about ballroom dancing. When it comes to things we are not familiar with, beginners often over estimate their knowledge and skill level, and this is the problem with Yelp in general (crowd sourcing reviews and ratings to people who are generally not knowledgeable, or experts, about what they are talking about). At first I questioned the push for learning dances I had no initial interest in. But as I have gotten better at dancing in general, without knowing it, learning other dances besides the ones that I wanted to focus on has given me better control of my body, and understanding of the movements required to move across the dance floor. So while you may not be practicing the dance you want to specifically get better at, you become a better dancer, which makes it easier to learn, retain, and master any dance you focus on. The instructors and staff at FADS Katy are skilled at what they do, and if you put in the effort to learn and remember what they teach you, they will respond in kind, pushing you to become better at what you want to learn, reaching whatever goals you have. Their goals may or may not always align with yours, its a business. It is up to you to know what is your long term goal. But know that the path you think you want/need to take may not be the best way to get there. Luckily, its really only the introductory program where they show you the basics of the main dances. Once you complete that course, you get to choose what it is you want to focus on. For country dancing I recommending learning Two Step, Polka, and the Country Waltz. For latin dancing I recommend learning Salsa, Merengue, Rumba, and possibly Bachata. This is Texas after all.

I think she truly supports her casts, and also has very high expectations for her shows- there is dedication and work involved to be a part of Showtime. Ms Jackie will support them every step of the way! As our girls have gotten older, they have also been able to have the experience of working backstage and in the booth, which gives them other skills and a real appreciation for what it takes to make a production happen.

My daughter has attended Adamson Ballet for almost five years now and she loves it…read more The facility is well kept and clean - located in a shopping strip off of Mason rd. It's not a very big space, but good enough for the students and waiting parents. The front staff is very kind - they have worked with me in terms of financial situations and have always welcomed my daughter regardless. Mrs. Hitt has been my daughter's teacher since she first started and my daughter admires Mrs. Hitt very much. She refuses to go to any other dance school or teacher because she has so much love and respect for her ABS teacher. Recitals are well organized and very memorable. There are fees that come with it such as the costume fee, recital fee, and separate tickets fee. I don't find it a problem and they handle the entire recital ordeal very well.

Ugh AB required us to buy a specific costume when the dance moves they taught my kids were so FUFU & frilly! We quit before the recital and they didnt let us cancel the costume even at 5 month till!! Jerks! Then they send us an email (junk mail) a week to pick it up or it will be donated? WTF! Jerks again! My kids could never remember what they learned. All they could remember was to prance around, like skipping and wave their hands like a bird. Sorry but their type of dance is so FUFU-FIFI THAT I COULDNT STOP LAUGHING! No real talent needed lol! We spent months there and still to this day there isnt anything my kids can remember. I didnt like how they treated people like monthly payments. Felt like cattle there. MOOOOOVE ALONG!

I was hoping I would find a suburban area YMCA in Houston similar to the one I went to when I lived…read morein the Dallas area and this Monty Ballard YMCA fits just the bill. This Katy Cinco Ranch location is very family oriented and has plenty of space & equipment. I have yet to have any issues with waiting to use equipment even when it is busier. You will find a surplus of treadmills, free weights, squat racks, benches, and more for all your exercise needs. There is also a child care area available for the younger ones. In addition, they also have a gymnasium with multiple side rims, as well as both an indoor and outdoor pool. Other areas available include a stretch room, cycling room, group exercise room, and another smaller weight room. They have plenty of locker/storage space as well, located is some weight rooms, outside the restroom/pool area, and inside the restrooms as well (the ones in the restroom require your own lock). One of the things I love most is they have a water fountain with a filtered water bottle filler so I can bring my empty water bottle from home and fill it with water at the Y for my workout. Another thing I appreciate are the several sanitizing stations for your hands and for wiping down equipment. Overall I'm extremely happy with this Y. The staff are very friendly, they have plenty of parking and allow 3 free guest passes per year (my previous Y made you pay for all guest passes). The only slight negative I've found so far is that they don't provide basketballs for the gymnasium due to people not returning them, which is understandable. Thus, I highly recommend this YMCA!

I used to only sing uptempo tracks, but since visiting this Y, I've been singing Ballards too…read more It's a clean YMCA and the front desk could definitely be a lot friendlier, which is part of the reason I don't give them 5. They don't have as much equipment as the other one in Katy, but it's not bad and it's somewhat similar, and might even be a 5 star if the greeting staff had been friendlier. It's often quite quiet in here which I like, and which you wouldn't expect considering a lot of fairly well-to-do people live around here and Cinco Ranch isn't flush with gyms (or flushing toilets) (OK it probably is). It has plenty of space and is a pretty good gym all things considered, and I'll probably be using it again in the near future. The hard part is getting in the door, of course. I'd like to try door number one, Monty.
