Came here with a few friends for salsa and bachata night about 2 Saturdays ago and had so much fun!…read moreThe studio is spacious and clean; Darlin (the owner and primary teacher) is patient, fun, and incredibly entertaining. I kept stumbling with my turns so he went out of his way during the lesson to work with me on them. After an hour lesson, the dance floor opened up until 2am to a spicy mix of salsa and bachata songs! As a first-timer I felt shy and sat in a corner but everyone (even the elite) were so friendly and continually asked me to dance (and taught me steps along the way)! I tend to be very uncomfortable when it comes to physical contact but dancing with everyone felt rather natural! Such a lovely experience- If I lived in or near Philly I would take classes here in a heartbeat. Will definitely be back for more salsa nights!

Our instructor was pleasant and patient, and we had a great time learning basic salsa moves!! The other people in the drop-in class were two other couples...so be warned as that generally seems the norm for classes. I think the academy also does "salsa parties" which are more free practice sessions. The time flew by, and we were encouraged to videotape the last 5 minutes of the instructor giving an overview of what we had learned, so we could come back after practicing on our own! Will definitely come back to use up the rest of our livingsocials....hopefully the classes aren't too repetitive so we'll see!

This is not the first time this has happened, there have been multiple occasions where my daughter told me she felt uncomfortable and judged in the studio. Competition kids would stare or whisper. Later in the year i was speaking to one of the other moms, and the studio owner came up as a topic of our conversation. I was told the owner has been saying to a few moms they should keep their kids away from my daughter!!! That is ridiculous!!! This studio is full of negativity and judgement across every room! My daughter has refused to go back and I agree with her, this is ridiculous!!

All of my three children went through multiple years of the Summer Stage program, about eight years…read morein all. They always looked forward to and enjoyed their time at Mainstage. And the productions were ... well ... amazing considering they put them together in 6 weeks. Through the years, it impressed me how Mainstage always put kids first - it was important that the kids were having a positive experience. The programs focus on giving kids not just exposure to the arts; they help kids be self-confidant, teach teamwork, and encourage them to support one another - skills that are valuable anywhere. Highly recommended.

Would love to see those The theater company keeps insisting on their website that they "teach," and "nourish," (etc. on such nice fluffing words,) overstating they are very fair in who they cast and just how much they do for the kids...Absolutely, a lot for the same students over and over. I'm sad to say that you'll be paying for day care camp, with such theater related activities as "paper towel hop hot lava", "make up your own Disney trivia," and playing YouTube background music to do "Karaoke." Statistically, it is not possible that out of 60+ students that they "accept" per summer session at $800.00+ each, the same 15-20 (or less) are featured all the time because they outdid the other 40-50+ every single time.... also, the overcasting of shoving the 60 kids on ensamble just once or twice, way in the back, while only 15 of those kids are assigned anything of a role (Kudos to the organizer's kids for getting roles as well, and to boot, demonstrating poor sportsmanship to the other students by making commentary out loud...) It's essentially a bit of a cult. While they do have very sweet and talented students (and definitely not their fault they're highly favorited because their parents are part of that creepy singing cult, which has to be ritualized at the beginning of every single play, extending it over a half hour, along with the absolute same speech paraphrased over and over and over... about some egotistical lady claiming she's so busy and not doing her laundry for 3 weeks, how tired but so happy everyone looks, especially the day of performances, at drop off.... Just please. AI sounds more genuine, maybe put effort into that as well? We were stupid enough to try it twice, not even expecting absolutely any lead, but maybe ensamble and to actually LEARN something about theater... Alas (paper towel hopping ) as the saying goes, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Please don't be fooled by the fluff. It's honestly sickening. (And please, a new shorter more genuine speech for $800.00 per student you are receiving wouldn't kill you) Also, shouldn't that money go towards actual makeup, working mics, and... oh, yeah, keeping those props, and not saying out loud to the kids not to break them so you can return them?) You can't make this up

She treats them all as her own and pushes them to strive way beyond their own expectations. The students that attend this studio are encouraged to set high standards in both their academic education and dance education. The teachers are amazing and from all different dance backgrounds. The teachers work extremely hard, building the minds and bodies of the students, while encouraging the students to enjoy dancing. It not always easy and you have to be on pointe (lol). They are dedicated in making sure the students are strong and developed in their technique. The studio is very welcoming. You will always find a parent willing to help or share. For your convenience, supplies are available at the studio. Items may be ordered if out of stock and available to you within a short period of time. Everything you need is at your fingertips. My daughter goes through a lot of dance tights and I have been able to walk in and purchase a pair whenever needed. Living Arts has allowed my child to obtain amazing dance techniques and become well educated in the art of dance, all while creating the most incredible bonds with old and new friends. She's an only child with many dance sisters. I couldn't ask for a better group of friends or adult role models. Wait!!!! They also have DROP IN CLASSES for adults!!!! Ms. Jaquetta has drop in classes for adults from ballet to hip-hop to African. I took one African class so far. Looking to taking another in the future. I encourage anyone that is interested to come learn a new dance and come make a friend or two. You will definitely have an enjoyable workout.

I had an amazing time here when I attended Latin Night in March. I had been contemplating since I…read moresaw the information on the events they have here when I was looking for things to do in the area when I moved to Pike Creek a few years ago now. I was out for an event earlier in the evening and decided to check to see what else was going on that night. They have a full calendar of events throughout the month but this one is held the 2nd Saturday of each month. You do not have to be a student here and you don't have to be the best dancer, but you should be open to learning and enjoying dancing. I appreciated that the dance lesson allowed everyone to be involved even if you came alone, as everyone lined up and switched partners throughout the lesson prior to the dancing portion. Most of the other attendees were very nice and willing to have fun, which I appreciated. The studio is a lot larger than one would think from the store front and it was very clean. They had pizza, snacks and candy that was included in the price, as well as a cash bar. They accept cash and digital payments (like Apple/Android Pay). There aren't many night clubs in the area, but this had the feel of a local club when the lights went down and everyone began to dance the night away! I hope to attend again soon and some other events; they even had me considering taking classes.
