You can dance no matter how old, from 18 months up to 99 years! I believe with patience, determination and hard work each student has the potential to achieve far beyond his or her dreams. Through my teaching I will always do my best to pass on my love of the arts to the future generations.

The teachers are professionals, they're educated, & they all have a passion that clearly resonates to all the students. They offer a wide range of classes for everyone, toddlers to grown ups. They also are very involved in the community and participate in many parades, and local outreaches; the main one being Disney World. If there is a setback, it would be the amount of money that could add up with tuition, dance uniforms, & props. Either way, this is the best dance school in Hampton Roads by far!

My kiddo has been asking to do gymnastics for a long while now. Something with tumbling and the…read moresorts. We went to trusty ole Google and discovered The Little Gym. You know the saying, 'monkey see monkey do'? Well, our younger one wanted to do it too. So, we checked what was available for him since he is a bit younger. So because of age, they are in separate classes and can't do it together. No problem there as we figured it could help with their independence, and we even found classes that worked out better for them in the end. We like that parents are given the option to stay, but you don't have to. There is a window on the other side that you can watch your kiddo as they do their class. I really loved that as I could see how my kids went from shy and reserved to outgoing and excited. From what I saw, I wouldn't say either is doing 'gymnastics' lol, but they're having a really fun time, and that's enough for me. We'll continue to keep coming back as long as the kids want to.

They sanitize the studio after every session and take cleanliness serious by encouraging parents to not bring sick children. This location also hosts camps and other events throughout the year for the little ones, they are extra fee though. Members do get discounts on these extra classes though. They also run limited deals throughout the year such as sign a sibling up and get 25% off or 50% for a second class for current members. My only small gripe is I wish the younger kids classes such as the 2 year olds were a bit lower priced since they aren't really learning any skills, but more so just playing on the equipment.

Definitely on the higher end of the tuition scale for dance studios despite more talking than dancing. I find it alarming when my child knows about the personal lives of her adult teachers. If you aren't going to spend thousands to competitively dance, then I suggest choosing another school, as girls who aren't part of the competitive team are treated as second-class citizens with much less opportunity to improve and it is damaging to their self-esteem. All in all, we are much happier at a different studio this year.

My godbaby's favorite part is the mermaid on the top. If you're looking for a dance studio, I recommend here! 1000000/10 recommend

Initially, our experience with the studio was positive. However, when we received my daughter's…read morerecital costume for her performance in June, I noticed It was a bit revealing (especially for a preschooler). Despite reaching out to the school for three weeks to address this concern, we received no response. I have left messages and emails. I spoke to Miss Jessica and she was very dismissive. I will also note that I am not the only parent who had concerns. The lack of communication and customer service is concerning. The manager Miss Theresa is aware of the issue but has not taken any action (none of the parents have heard from her). If you're comfortable with poor communication and disregard for parental concerns, then this place might suit you. Disappointed and won't recommend

Teresa is absolutely amazing , and has taught my son so much. They went above and beyond my expectations, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to take this class this summer.

I have gone to other places dance recitals where there is clearly a lack of quality compared to here. Lessons. Typically an hour long. They will place you in class according to your dance level. There are classes that range from 3 year olds to older adults to teach you an array from ballet, hip hop, jazz, lyrical, tap, acrobatics, and more. The instructors who teach have been doing this for years! As for the little ones, you'll be amazed at how much they learn. The instructors are quite good with kids and reward them with stickers for good behavior. Lessons are typically held during the school year, but they also offer summer workshops. Also, if you refer other people to attend the school, you will receive a discount! Pictures. Pictures are always professionally done around the beginning of spring or so. I typically got a package of individual and group photo. You can see past group photos once you walk in the building to see what kind of quality you'll be getting. Recital. Recitals are divided according to level: Petite, Intermediate, Junior, Senior. So far they have all been held at Willet Hall in Portsmouth. The opening performances for each recital level are usually done by the Senior company which goes to show what level you can achieve if you keep at it... quite inspirational. By the end of the year, you truly see quality that you pay for. Overall, if you have a kid that is serious about dance, this is the place to go!
