Moving into the metro-Atlanta area, we wanted to find the right place for our daughter to continue…read moredancing and further develop those skills. From experience, we knew a few things that we wanted and didn't want: we wanted professional instructors and not just nice teachers with degrees. We also wanted quality programs instead of the "everyone is a star" kinds of stuff. Truthfully, we wanted our daughter to be pushed and to strive for success (even while experiencing occasional defeat) rather than to be rewarded unrealistically; this better prepares her for the real world. Of course when she was little, we wanted her to have fun and be happy. As she's gotten older we believe that if it's worth doing - it's worth her best efforts. For us, Georgia Academy of Dance (GAD) was the perfect blend of professionalism and youth instruction. We are so happy that we found them - they bring out the best in our daughter. When we looked online at the biography of the director and teachers we knew that this academy was the real thing, but we have since discovered the wonderful GAD community and its leadership which is both kindhearted and approachable. At every age, every level, kids are affirmed and challenged. Our high school daughter is growing and developing beautifully - GAD has been instrumental in her success. GAD will bring out the best in your child in more ways than just excellent dancing.

Classes are great, but they aren't very personable. In addition to this, the studios lack…read morediversity; based on their response to this allegation it is clear that that is intentional. If you're into a heterogenous singular raced studio, this is for you. It is very much a business--no one will know your kid's name, but he/she will learn. The costumes are overpriced, and the owner is completely unprofessional. She is rude and lacks awareness; any questions are immediately met with "find another studio." There are many others with better instruction, so go to those. **update** Following my google review I received an email reprimand for my daughter missing the dress rehearsal from Kym. There were about four other people copied on the email. It was essentially a dressing down, explaining that I had opened the email with the schedule and that they allowed my daughter to dance in the nutcracker as a courtesy. It is strange that I would receive this so long after the rehearsal, but the simplest explanation is that they were offended by my review. Completely affronted by the email I responded explaining that I was confused by the rehearsal schedule email and that my daughter would be at a different studio in the fall. I reiterated my dissatisfaction with the lack of diversity. Sherri responded by removing my daughter from the class and calling me prejudice(sp). She stated that I would be hearing from her lawyer, presumably because she didn't like my Facebook review. One of her henchwomen asked how I came to this conclusion as a teacher. Of course this is a) creepy, and b) irrelevant, but if she must know--and I know she's reading this, so she must know--try Occam's Razor. The simplest explanation here is that you lack diversity because you don't desire it. Diversity of thought, diversity of ethnicity, etc. It is not illegal for me to state this. Indeed, you must prove that it is *not* true. My intentions are not malicious, as that is not the purpose for Facebook or Google reviews. As this meets no legal precedent, I hope you aren't paying him hourly, but I digress. Armed with a legal background I am prepared to meet the studio wherever they wish. It is a shame that, rather than address concerns, they removed my child and proceeded to bully me. Based on the fact that I cannot comment on my own review (they have claimed that they gave me their lawyer's information), I believe that what has happened is an issue of ego. Sherri removed my daughter from the studio last year because I questioned her carte blanche ability to charge a card for a costume fee. She swoops in when she doesn't like a comment or concern, as though she is the only ditty in town. She was very rude in her response, but by daughter enjoyed the teacher so we stayed. Ultimately, Sherri and her company do not want to look in the mirror. Their studio lacks diversity. Their studio lacks warmth. Overall they lack professionalism. As a parent I should have moved my child earlier. But I have enrolled her in another studio at the recommendation of a friend, so all's well that ends well.

Overpriced for tumbling training…read more My biggest complaint is that if your child doesn't participate in recitals, parades etc, the coach will leave your child to self instructions. And the main reason we wont let our child participate in recitals / parades, etc., is bc she's not that GOOD! YET!!! But recitals n stuff is a scam to just get more money out of you! But the straw that broke the camel's back is coming right off Thanksgiving they shoved a pack of raffle tickets in my face neatly wrapped with my childs name on it - I asked what if we don't want to participate in that (SCAM) the unprofessional said you have to pay $50. You already know - DECLINE!!!! Next class the coach only let my child practice a few routines. Towards the end the coach left my child standing in line waiting for her turn. The ignored my baby! Finally, my child just left and got her STICKER and belongings and we left. After I witnessed that as I watched from outside through the glass window, I decided to finish the course and w/draw my child. There is no way I will allow them to bully my child ALL bc I declined to sell or pay them $50 for some RAFFLE TICKETS!!! So this Wednesday, they paid my child no attention ! My baby got little practice and was told the training was for kids in the parade (which the coach denied saying it when I confronted her about it). But this week not only did the coach limit my child practice she wudnt even let her get a STICKER - NOPE! THE COACH TOOK THE STICKERS AND STARTED TAPPING MY CHILD ON HER HEAD WITH THEM!!!!! So no I wudnt recommend!

I have been here for 13 years and if you have young children aspiring to be a dancer this is the…read moreperfect place to be. The instructors are kind and encouraging, while being clear with corrections to keep the dancers safe. There is an on-site psysical therapist named Dr. Megan Morales that helps us with everything that's needed. The studio is focused on classical styles of dance and the furthuring of your child's confidence. The teachers and studio staff care about the well being and happiness of the dancers. Our director Mrs. Sherri Davis gives hard classes and is open about praising dancers when they are striving for excellence in their chosen classes. In your Junior/ Senior year of highschool you are more than welcome to have a 1 on 1 with Mrs. Sherri Davis about joining the dance world professionally. Overall if you are looking for a studio in peachtree city that will care and nuture your dancer in their journey throughout the dance world, will introduce them to professional opportunities, and help achieve dance scholarships in college, then this will be the perfect studio for you.

This past year, my daughter was old enough to perform in the Nutcracker, which she also loved. I love that it is a serious dance studio and take rehearsals seriously. Attendance is a necessity and love that they take is seriously. Each year the teachers have known my daughter's name. If you want your kid to learn dance then this is the place. If you want your child to do this more as a hobby then there are other dance studios geared towards that. We recommend this studio to everyone. When my mother and a neighbor came to their first performance they couldn't believe how professional and well done it was. They were very impressed. I love how the boutique is competitive with prices and extremely helpful with shoe and leotard fittings. Costumes are the same price as they are at other studios (fitted).
