Let's start with the good!…read more I signed my two daughters up for a once a week dance class last year and we ended up not being able to attend due to an unforeseen family situation. They reached out to me when we didn't show up for several classes and actually refunded me the tuition as a credit to be used in the future, which they did not have to do. That shows a great business who puts people above profits. My concern is about the Summer Dance Camp. It's three hours long and it appears that maybe 30-60 minutes of it just has kids watching something on a TV screen. As a parent, I'm quaking so hard to keep my kids OFF of screens and active this summer, which IA why I paid a pretty penny to have two kids take this dance camp. The fact that I witnessed them sitting on the floor watching the TV screen made me frustrated. It's a 3 hour camp -- play games. Teach them another routine. Practice the routine more. Screens have no place in a dance camp in my opinion. But maybe that's just my own opinion as a mom and a teacher.

My grandaughter is 2.5 years old, and her class is just perfect for her age group. I view this as dance and movement appreciation. Miss Shelly is very engaging, she and her staff encourage the students participation. Props and costumes help facilitate the stories. Children this age just don't have the attention span for serious dance yet, and this program understands that. Today they read the story of the Nutcracker ballet, and acted out some scenes from the ballet...it was a so cute!!! This is truly the place for her... I can't wait for the recital!

CAUTION PARENTS!!! READ BEFORE YOU SIGN UP FOR THIS STUDIO…read more I'm taking time to write this review because we have experienced discrimination at this dance studio that no family should have to experience. We were amazed by the incredible dancing and excited to join. Unfortunately, however, this studio has too many problems to count including poor customer service, studio does not respond to my emails (they sort of pick and choose which emails to respond to and which parents), no one is present to greet parents/students at the front desk on a daily basis or to help with parent/student questions/concerns or watch for safety. It is also very disorganized. Dance competitive dance attire frequently goes missing in the studio and parents are left to track down paid for pieces yet made to feel like its their fault by the studio. My daughters were also not generally welcomed by most dancers. We believe this is racially related. Students just stay in their clicks which seem to be tied in part to race. Also, to note, team bonding events, parents are not welcome. So, if you have a young daughter that may feel more comfortable with you there as a parent at a swim party for example, the studio has the mentality that you can take it or leave it. If you don't like the no parent rule, then your dancer shouldn't come. I requested to set up a meeting during Ashley or Brooke's office hours and did not receive a response back to my request to discuss concerns (some concerns include Ashley speaking to my daughter disrespectfully by saying she looks like a "dog" while dancing, insistence on "straight" hair for competitions (mainly taking a toll timewise/greater expense on Black families), lack of response to emails, etc.). I tried to request again via email to meet during office hours or even a phone call back, but still no response back from anyone at the studio. Even in person, it seems Ashley will attempt to avoid me at all costs so that I do not have the opportunity to talk to her. On another occasion, the studio owner got upset at us for my daughter interrupting a teacher during a class because she couldn't find a missing item of hers and there was no other adult around to help her. We were later emailed requesting that we do not interrupt instructors during class. We apologized but also reminded the studio owner that part of these communication problems could be easily eliminated if the studio had appropriate coverage at the front desk for students/parents to ask questions. There is generally no one stationed at the front desk to help with general needs. Parents just sort of have to figure it out. It's no wonder that as soon as I attempt to address these issues via email, the studio owner writes back forcing us to leave saying that this studio is just "not a good fit for us". We believe part of the problem is that the studio just runs a poor business customer service-wise and also fosters an anti-black culture that is not inclusive racially. Parents are drawn to the incredible dancing, but many have shared with me that the business side has much to be desired for. They admitted that they don't speak up for fear of retaliation against their child. I have seen the owner talk to other parents in the back where there is a sign that says, "No parents beyond this point" and she will no talk to me. Our family has also overheard dancers talking about how they love the fact that this studio is so "White". For context, our girls train alongside approximately 98 competitive dancers at different levels. Out of this number of dancers, there are only 6 Black dancers. Two of these dancers are our daughters. The studio is now eliminating 2 of their Black dancers leaving only 4 competitive Black dancers out of 98. This statistic is sad and shows the glaring disproportionality impacting Black dancers. Mostly, I feel sad for our daughters who are now being asked to leave the studio and disregarded so easily after all the hard work that they have put in. We hope that our experience will make a difference for families to come and that people will heed our warning. You do not have to be Black to support fair practices in business and stand against anti-blackness. The dance world sees too much discrimination as it is.

I decided to sign up for a beginners pole class to use up some time I had while waiting for my car getting a service. I love how personal the class was. There was only about 5 of us. I had always wanted to try pole dancing and it's so much harder than it looks!!! It was a great way to gauge my strength. I was sore for days after. Our instructor was super knowledgeable and encouraging. Made this newcomer feel super welcome. Would I do it again?? Absolutely. But I do feel I need a bit more strength training in other areas in order to succeed. I still had a lot of fun.

I was super interested in stepping outside my hula-trained dancer comfort zone, & try a heels dance…read moreclass. I had heard good things of Kionna's "heal in heels" series. There was a similar but different 1-day workshop she offered, so a friend & I registered. Unfortunately it was a triggering and low key traumatizing experience for me. For the record, I am not illogical & I can see multiple perspectives, even if I don't agree. I even acknowledge there's 3 sides to a story. It's frustrating to have to write something negative about being in WOC spaces, as I solely believe in the uplifting and empowerment of WOC in today's society. But businesses are businesses, and humans are humans. Here are my reflections from my experience at this studio with this particular instructor & business owner: 1) Registration and confirmation systems were too complicated. Instagram is not a registration system. I get small businesses try to find free systemic ways to invoice & track, but coupled with crude customer service, it just should have been a hard pass on my Saturday time. I should've given into my intuitive hits at the registration part. 2) While the ambiance invited some welcoming energy (other dancers), and sympathetically I get that it's difficult managing groups throughout the day- being yelled at to form in line & talked to as if we are elementary kids gets tiring. And annoying. Also, I've never been lectured through a mirror before. Can she invest in a microphone though? It was hard to hear her through all the music & levels of class chatter. 3) I never signed a consent form to be recorded! To add--there was ZERO disclaimer or prerequisite of a previous heels or recent heels dance class experience required named... ANYWHERE. 4) I personally am not trying out for any music videos or music tours. As stated, I was seeking a space for fun, sensual, & embodied movement. Coupled with the weird registration process, random yelling, no consent or disclaimer for prior or recent class experience suggested- I was not feeling safe or comfortable under her teachings. Well, she caught it towards the tail end of the class, & managed to turn around this time, & called me & my non-embodied self out in front of everybody. Then proceeded with a lecture. I should've walked out, but I knew I needed to finish the workshop. Periodt. Obviously I left extremely disappointed & disheartened. But at the end of the day, it's all good. You live & you learn, especially about spaces you are/aren't meant to be in. Teachers have different styles, and students will gravitate to who they resonate with. Until I find another space that calls me to try again, I'll be grinding & twerking in the shower or mirror for now!
