In nearly all of the 5 classes I observed over 2 days, I saw both talent on the part of some of the youngsters and the intelligence and expertise in the teachers. They exude generosity and pride in passing down the art form they have dedicated themselves to since childhood. Though the founder/legendary teacher is no longer, her legacy seems to be thriving...God bless this worthy institution.

The Harris' are great people, love the kids and teach them to be great people, not just dancers. There are other studios, but none that offers the balance of challenging dance, and learning to tell a story through dance. They focus on performance, not competition. My favorite is the spring ballet, which is a full length ballet performed by the entire studio, from 4 years old to adult. They have a wide breadth of courses, for kids and adults. All styles and skill levels. They also have some acting, singing and music teachers for whatever you might like to learn. They offer 8 week sessions for very little money, and also do bring a friend classes a couple times a year. I highly recommend them.

If I could give this sham of a dance academy zero stars I would. I enrolled my 2-year-old daughter…read morein their Pre-K Dance class for 2 and 3 year olds. It was advertised as exploring creative movement. We get there and the older teacher was just immediately frustrated that the TODDLERS weren't listening. The class today was the last straw. My 2 year old was doing fine but when it came to mat time, she didn't like her legs being stretched to touch her head so she walked away from the mat with another child and sat on the wall. The teacher told her that she would need to leave if she didn't listen so my child stood up and walked towards me at the window that I was directly behind. The old teacher went up to her and the other little girl and in front of a room full of classmates, parents, and other children told the 2 babies that they were "done" and kicked them out of class. I called after and the old teacher said this was a structured class where they are teaching the girls dance. She said she was "removing the distraction." Meanwhile 3 other little girls were just laying on the mat not doing what they were supposed to do. A structured class for 2 year old toddlers, whatever that possibly means. She embarrassed those children who just didn't feel comfortable getting stretched out by strangers. They are also refusing to refund me the money for the remaining classes that of course my daughter will not be attending. What a joke of an establishment.
