As other patrons have stated, Monica is one of the most talented dancers I've ever laid eyes on and…read morealso her business practices seem elementary at best. It seems she is not interested in any form of constructive criticism to respect her own brand, as I have just dealt with the exact same experience customers from 2017 and 2018 have dealt with. I've been a gracious fan of Monica's for about 15 years and recently I ordered a 4 pair pack of her dancer socks. I really wanted some and I really wanted to support HER business and get some of her swag. I placed my order on 10/17/22. In all honesty, before my purchase she does explain that prep and shipping can take 6 business days or longer, and I can understand.. i imagined she is a small business and black women do deserve to be human and not robotic. I waited 2 weeks before contacting her via email as I could not find any customer service phone number any where and received no update about my order, even though the receipt email states I should be on the look out for an email when my order is ready. Even on my emailed receipted that I was indeed charged for the product, there is no information outside of an email to contact. The auto generated email stated I should expect a response within 72 hours. That was one business week ago now, 3 weeks total with no response or information about my order. I am so disappointed in Monica's business practices or lack thereof. I've read some of her lengthy reviews, and try to empathize with her experience: the issue is, she does not seem to empathize with the experience, OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE her clients and customers are getting. All those words, and nothing real is being said or any accountability taken. It feels like such a shame, I understand it isn't personal, she is a human and has the right to function however she so chooses and I have to respect that. And, also I have the right to express my dissatisfaction in my experience of her brand.

I've been emailing her for SEVERAL months about my refund, for a class that was cancelled OVER a…read moreyear ago, and she has responded with incredibly unprofessional responses. She told me to fill out the "refund request form" on her site... which I've already done twice..and yet SOMEHOW she still can't do her duty and refund people's money. She is not running a business, she is running a scam.

My fiancé and I took private classes for our wedding first dance. Neither of us had prior dance…read morelessons so we were very bad and needed a lot of help! We were very happy with the experience, Mr. Collins is a great teacher. He teaches some theory that was appreciated and taught us moves for us to fit to our song so that by the end we had a "routine" that was basically choreographed, but also the knowledge to wing it/get back on beat if we mess up :)

I'm really sad to be posting this. We had a very bad experience here. I think they have bad…read morebusiness practices and their classes for children are overfilled and not engaging at all. I have a son who has done aerials for a full year elsewhere. Because of Agora's policy and the way the children's classes are set up, they have the first and second tiers simultaneously. We were told that they would see if he would be advanced enough to place in the second tier within a few weeks. I've never noticed anyone actually take a second to evaluate any of the kids, but I have noticed some of the tinier, stretchier girls have been place with the second group. I get that girls are typically more limber than boys; but he is strong and skilled on the equipment.. Needless to say he's still in the first tier. So every week we go and every week he stands in line for approximately 30-40 minutes just to hang on a piece of silk or a trapeze or a Lyra for 15 seconds. We do this about 7-8 times and the hour is up. $160 for this for 8 weeks? It's disappointing. I guess my hopes were too high. Oh the other thing they get ya with is that in order for your child to be in the performance they have to register for the first course and that ends before the program, so then you must enroll in the next 8 weeks. We will head to Eastern Market to check out the group down there. Pros: clean Offer kids classes Staff is friendly

I was so, so excited to see the sign for Tap Dance Detroit this summer - I've been looking for a…read moredance school in the Metro Detroit area where I can take tap classes and actually develop some skills. I've found that most places offer either super advanced classes or else super-basic classes, with little in between. Not so here! Denise is very patient, but also demanding, with her students. Several drop-in classes are offered each week (primarily tap, but several others as well) for adults at all different levels. I know there are also classes for kids, but I'm not as familiar with that piece. The facility is beautiful - kind of a converted warehouse setting with several devoted rooms. The studios are also available to rent by the hour to others, which is awesome - affordable rehearsal space is always needed. Anyway, whether you've taken many dance classes or never put on a pair of shoes, reach out and ask what class might be good for you.
