The Juliart instructors are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and committed to the dancer's development, pushing them to reach their full potential while in a supportive and fun environment. Super cute programs for little ones and then as they get older there is an opportunity to audition to be on a competitive team. The choreography is fresh, innovative, and challenging, ensuring that they are always learning and evolving as dancers. The dancers also learn about teamwork, time management, public performance and discipline. These skills show both in and out of the studio.

Juliart is a mediocre dance studio, but they lack any rigorous tap program. Like Gotta Dance (a…read morelocal competitor), they are more focused on entering their dancers in competitions than on teaching them to enjoy dance or improving their technique in any significant way. For instance, they offer beginning and intermediate classes, but they have no option to take advanced classes without participating on a competition team. (And training for competitions often does not translate to teaching best practices in technique.) Furthermore, since tap is not found in most competitions, they honestly do not have any tap classes that are challenging for kids ages 8 and above. We will be switching to another studio on Cole Street in Birmingham that focuses more on proper dancing and less on competitions.

With that being said, I was terrified my dancing skills wouldn't be up to par! No worries, Jordan and her instructors do an amazing job of teaching classes in a completely stress free environment.

Overall loved this place, hope to be back soon :) thanks Jordan Mac and team for making dancing fun!

The competition program at this studio is a complete joke. Favoritism is insane. Certain competition dancers are given special treatment (7+ extra routines, solos, all the attention in class), while other competition dancers are straight up ignored and denied routines that they are completely qualified for. It doesn't matter how good you are, if the owner doesn't like your dancer, you get the crap routines (Pom pom). The owner will completely ignore your emails and questions and, if she even bothers to respond at all, it'll be whatever bullcrap she wants to tell you. Also, the owners are NEVER at this location. They are always at their other location, the main studio in Sterling Heights. As such, the teachers run the place and do what they want. The woman who teaches the competition jazz and lyrical classes is a complete egotistical asshole. I wouldn't talk to a dog the way she talks to these kids. She will dumb dances down if there's a combination that her favorite dancers cannot do; it doesn't matter that others can do the combo, it'll get taken out if her lil favorites can't do it. Don't waste your time or money here.

Only good if you have money and have been there a long time…read more.. the place is firstly, expensive. Tuition for SELECT is 200+ a MONTH!!! For two days a week! All of the costumes- 100 each, makeup and hair- 100, shoes- 200!!! The Fusion dance camp costs are well into 1000 for one week, and are MANDATORY for those competing!! We haven't even gotten to fees! For those unfamiliar, it is a family studio, everyone has know everyone forever! As someone new, I felt embarrassed and out of place completely! The people talk behind your back and even had issues where people had to step in..... The place is LOUD and unless you went in person to the place, the schedules online are super confusing!!! The teachers placed top priority on the students THEY liked, aka, who's there longest and who dances the best. I barely improved and learned being there for a year, I learned more watching YouTube videos and had better flexibility stretching on my own. Classes are slow and teachers talk super quietly in class yet scream when they are outside! It is a beautiful studio and a wonderful place, but the people! AGHHHH! I was stuck in the back to walk and pose for my jazz, tap, lyrical and hip hop numbers. The only place I felt truly challenged was Mr.Kevins ballet and Mr.Pauls Acro classes. And don't think your getting all the best choreography. Maddie Ziegler at 8 years old could perform the teen girls (14/15) jazz, over pass the lyrical and tap, EASILY. Those top choreographers? Yeah, only the top get them. The 17 year olds who are the most advanced and have been there the longest or the families that pay the most! I would have gone anywhere else or started earlier or just take tech, ballet and Acro. Watch out!

We showed up here less than two weeks before our wedding to figure out a dance for the big day…read more More so to make sure we knew what we were doing - we honestly didn't think they'd help us choreograph something specific on this short notice. They got right to work. We got 4 lessons scheduled in the two weeks pre-wedding and they helped us execute a pretty flawless (if I do say so) first dance for our wedding. Super kind staff make it very easy and then help you drill in to make it perfect. Highly recommend these folks.

I went here with a groupon, which came with one group lesson and two private lessons. I scheduled…read morethe group lesson over the phone and was instructed not to wear tennis shoes or rubber soles. They also had a 24 hour cancellation notice. Note to people with groupons - ALL of your lessons must be used up before the groupon expires, not just the first lesson. The group lesson was 30-45 minutes long. There were about 6-8 couples and 2-3 single ladies. The instructor introduced us to a few basic steps and had us practice them, rotating partners. Instead of holding hands, everyone touched palms as if frozen while playing pat-a-cake. This weirded me out a bit because I realized I had not touched anyone's palms (boyfriend excluded) in years... hahaha. But I will admit that changing partners was helpful for practicing, especially since the instructor did the man's steps, so we ladies got to practice with the instructor several times. We did the box steps for waltz, rumba, and foxtrot. After the group lesson, you could schedule your two private lessons. Each person/couple also received a sheet where we could note the steps we had learned and which instructor we had; Arthur Murray then keeps this on file. We ended up scheduling our two private lessons back to back, as they were 20-30 minutes each. In the private lessons, we reviewed the steps from the group lesson and learned how to turn and how to place our hands/arms so that we looked more like we were actually dancing and not that pat-a-cake thing. We were then given information on signing up for the real classes and were also invited to join a practice ballroom session where people just show up and dance, with instructors roaming around and helping. I think this might have been included in the groupon. We weren't able to fit the practice ballroom session into our schedule, so we ended up skipping it. I wanted to sign up for classes, but they were kind of pricey. I would definitely need a lot more classes/practice because I have two left feet and also a terrible memory. I get better each time in class, but then I forget the steps so quickly. :( The dance studio is located on Main, north of 11 Mile, across the street from Hollywood Market (and slightly north of it). If you are coming from the north, the building is really hard to see because the Arthur Murray sign only faces south, so get ready to turn right when you see the used car dealership. It's just after the dealership, and it's a brown brick building with a brown roof. For the longest time, they did not have a website, but now they do... finally!
