I had been looking for a burlesque dance class as another workout option for years without success…read more I literally stumbled upon this studio and I'm hooked. The staff is friendly the other dancers are cool and the vibe is always on point. Sometimes I have had a terrible day and consider not going to class but every time I go anyway I forget about the stress of my day and feel better. You have to try it. You won't regret it!.... and I'll probably see you there.

This is our third year at Dance Academy of Mansfield and we love it! My daughter started when she…read morewas two and was very shy and attached to me (that's why I wanted to try dance out just to see how she would do with other kiddos and a teacher that wasn't mom). The first day of class she walked right in and didn't even miss me. I was shocked because she would not stay with anyone besides mom, dad or grandma. She had a blast, the teacher was very kind and welcoming. She has loved all of the teachers she has had throughout the years. They are very professional at dance academy of Mansfield, but also are kind and understanding to the girls as well as the parents. I like that they incorporate different muscle groups in their practices as they do core, balance and stretching as well as dancing. I have notice improvements in my daughters feet and core strength. She has always had flat feet and has had some trouble with balance/coordination and I have noticed since starting dance that has improved. Lastly the production they have at the end of the year is amazing. So cool to watch as a parent. I love that DAOM is not ashamed of their faith and to talk about the Lord and pray; and for that reason is why I drive from Waxahachie to come here. My daughter loves it. I also like that they have classes during the day so homeschool parents can take their kids as well.

This was our first year at the DAOM and will be our last. Our daughter was in the pre-k group…read more The staff was nice and she had a lot of fun while there. The instructor seemed in control of the classroom from what I saw on the two observation days. However, restrictive policies make this a bad choice for parents. Classes for that age group are an hour long and go from September until June. If you believe your four-year-old might become disinterested after nine months of dance, please consider this factor heavily. If your child misses more than five classes in that time, she will not be allowed to dance in the production. You will not be refunded the $180 in production fees. This year, the academy followed the MISD schedule. This means that for those of us that signed up for a Monday class, we were scheduled to receive 5 less classes than those signed up on other days of the week and there was no cost offset. With the multiple bad weather days, we were actually out of class 8 days and got one makeup class on exception (as the policy is that academy does not schedule any makeups and your child may not attend a different class). I suppose I bear some of the blame in this instance since I simply assumed there would be an opportunity for make-up classes and did not actually ask. I emailed the director regarding my dissatisfaction with this issue. We were told they would not follow that schedule next year, but no price offset was offered for this year. They also follow the MISD schedule for bad weather regardless of current conditions. For example, when MISD cancelled school at 6am due to possible ice then at 10am the roads were melted and completely clear, the evening class was still cancelled. Your production fees do not include tights for the costumes. They do not include alterations, those will come out of your pocket or the pocket of your stage mom. If your child has ripped tights or the wrong tights, she will not be allowed to dance in the production. If your child has too many absences, she will not be allowed to dance in the production. If your child will not be still long enough for you to put on red lipstick, mascara, eyeshadow, foundation, and blush, she will not be allowed to dance in the production. Yes, even your three year old. There are no exceptions to refund the production fees per the policy. My daughter doesn't know, nor would she care, about all the restrictive policies of this studio. She had the stamina to go 9 months with little complaint. She got to do worship dance and talk about God while doing tap. But, for me, there was just too much in the way of bad policy for me to enjoy taking her here.

My girls love to dance and previously had dance class in their preschool. When my oldest went into…read morekindergarten I wanted to get them into a formal dance program. For 2 kids, the pricing and timing options were very reasonable. The owners are very sweet and engage the kids well. It's very family oriented and they treat each dancer special. They teach with age appropriate methods and my girls have progressed nicely under their instruction. There are two shows a year which does add some extra cost extra but they are cost conscious when choosing venues and costumes. For a similar experience at other studios costs are much higher. While the website is lacking, don't let that cloud your opinion of what the kids will get out of their classes. I'm very glad we tried out this studio! We will be here until my kids lose interest in dancing (and I don't that expect that to be anytime soon).

Time for an updated review as we are about to finish our first season and had our first recital on…read moreSaturday. First, the recital was on 1.5 hours long. WIN Second. The recital was super casual, and easy going, which is good because when you've got little kids dancing, and young families with little kids, and everyone is is just LITTLE, that makes for quite a bit of ups and downs and talking, and ins and outs, and you know what... IT WAS OKAY! No one was bothered in the least, and that made everyone chill. So.. second win! And the third win, Miss Devin (the owner) was IN LABOR and still came to the recital. I wonder if she's had that sweet baby yet? Now there's a director who really loves her craft and her students! Three cheers for Dance Axiom!

My daughter came here wanting to do Hip Hop classes. The pricing was fair, 1 hip hop class per week…read morefor $63 /month. My daughter REALLY enjoys the class. She looks forward to it whenever it's that day of the week she has classes. The owner and staff are VERY nice and welcoming. There are always classes going on when we are there - tap, ballet etc... And the level of classes and students are varied and you can attend classes that fit your level and needs. They also do a recital for your kids if you are interested for an addition... I think $60. The negative... I don't think the beginning hip hop class is for "serious" dancers. They are there learning basic moves and I think they are more focused on making it fun as opposed to technique. This is actually what we wanted, but if you were wanting it needing your classes to be more technique oriented, this is not the class for you. Maybe the higher levels focus a bit more on that but I wouldn't know. All in all, my daughter likes it very much and we keep going back. The people are great, the place is clean and professional and the "Dance Moms" I've met were all surprisingly wonderful women.

I'm a first time Mother and I have not spent one day away from my daughter since she was born. Part…read moreof that is my family is about 45 minutes from me, and the other is I never want to be away from her. I'm extremely hands on with her and I don't mind that at all. I heard about Kids Park from Moms in a group I'm in on Facebook, and Heather offered the group a waived registration fee so I finally took my daughter. My husband and I walked in and immediately I knew she'd be fine. There were TONS of toys for her to play with, a play area with a slide (I knew they'd never get her off of that lol), and more. They put her name on her back before I even finished the paperwork and let her in. Right away, they took all the pre-schoolers into a room to dance to The Wiggles and I will admit, I had tears in my eyes knowing my baby was getting bigger. While they had the preschoolers dancing, they had the older kids doing other things but they were careful that my daughter was never hurt or bothered by them. They didn't even start the clock until I handed the paperwork back. My daughter was never left alone (far as I saw) and we walked out. We stayed in the shopping area the entire hour, mostly because we had nothing else to do lol. When we came back, they were carrying her out of the snack area and they said she just wasn't eating so they were bringing her back out to play. Once they handed her to us we smelled that she needed her diaper changed. I asked if I could step back and do it and instead they took care of her for me! I was a little confused as to why they didn't change her (You could definitely smell that she needed it) but I figured if it just happened how would they have known? Everyone was so nice and understanding, saying they were used to seeing Moms as emotional as me and it was "harder on the Moms than the kids to say goodbye". I'll be bringing her back soon, and I think it'll be great for her. I am not putting her in the preschool program though simply because what they're going over, shes already too advanced for it.

I can run errands or go to appointments without stressing about finding a sitter. The staff is honestly the best part. Every single person there is so sweet, kind, and genuinely caring. When my daughter has a hard time at drop-off, they always greet her with a big smile and know exactly how to help her calm down and feel safe. I never worry when she's there because I know she's in loving hands. They also do so many fun activities with the kids, arts and crafts, games, story time, and even themed projects. My daughter comes home excited to show me what she made. She always has paint or glitter somewhere on her, which honestly just proves how hands-on and creative the center is. The place is always clean, organized, and bright, and you can tell they put real effort into making it a fun, safe space for the kids. She leaves happy every single time. If you're looking for flexible, affordable, trustworthy childcare, I can't recommend KidsPark enough. We're so grateful for them!

Our director, Mariya Kudyakova, is an exceptionally excellent teacher, who is well qualified. Additionally Mrs.Kudyakova is very good with children and teens. She has many, many years of dedicated experience. Many former students all over the country call her their mentor, and ABA her their home studio. From professionals, to those that move on to college and other endeavors, she helps so many students learn to have grace, poise, strength, and a true love of the arts, including the very best of ballet! Professional productions / performances happen twice a year, including The Nutcracker and another performance of choice (ex.: Don Quixote, Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, Alice). We are grateful to have such an extraordinary studio in our very own city, for our beloved daughter to attend.

I do not recommend this place. They are frigid and unwelcoming. We have been to other studios, but…read morethis was the only one my child has ever dreaded going to. Pros: Conveniently located--right off the service road and very close to restaurants, grocery stores, and a dance shop. Affordable--tuition is much less than other studios in the area. Very good technique--teachers are extremely knowledgeable. This is a great place to advance skills and prepare for a career in ballet. This studio is for serious dancers. Cons: Toxic--students are clique-ish, teachers are condescending, and moms are snooty. I can't stress enough the frigidity of this place. They only encourage a career in ballet, not love of dance. If your child isn't serious about ballet, consider going elsewhere. They are very obvious with who their favorite students are. Every time you walk through their door, be prepared to get snubbed by teachers and/or parents. Cheap--tuition may be low, but they will nickel and dime you for every little thing. Those things may be optional, but you will stick out like a sore thumb and be made to feel like an outcast. Also, there are kids who run around acting like they live there, bringing in fast food and stinking up the place. (Contradicting right? How dare you snub people but bring in fast food?)
