Go to the theater!…read more For a date night, the spouse and I treated ourselves to a double header back to back movie night. We played arcade games (could use a few more). Had some cocktails (ask about the specials). Ordered some foods and later came back for popcorn and candy. I will say their brand of popcorn and "butter" is way better than b&b theatre. Yes this trip was costly, but we had some gift cards. We should all be able to enjoy ourselves and have a good time without fearing the price tag every once in awhile. This location is widely accessible and even has an elevator for the big screen.

Great movie theater we were in a rush, so unfortunately, I did not get photos of the theater…read more Nothing like better late than never ha ha The movie theater was very clean and all the functions of the seat works properly The staff was very pleasant The bathrooms were kind of odd only because the air dryer was over the trash cans when you use the air dryer the trash would blow out, which was kind of weird and ended up all over the bathroom floor.

The owner is extremely unorganized and can't run a business (DO NOT KEEP YOUR CC ON FILE…read moreEITHER...you never know when she will run it or for what!!). The quality of dance training has declined over the years. The owner is more focused on making money. She has the recitals at a theatre that is 45 min away from the studio in Florissant because she can book that space way cheaper than the other places she use to use (those were in Chesterfield and Fenton). The recitals are in the middle of the week, which is not convenient for most people or friends and family traveling to see the recitals. What use to be a good studio, has sadly become awful. Alot of the good teachers are gone and the place is going downhill fast. The atmosphere with the older students is not good, "mean girl" behavior and the teachers turn a blind eye (and at times participate and encourage the bullying behavior). If dancing on a high school dance team is in your future DO NOT GO HERE! They penalize and outcast any students who are affiliated with their school teams. Put this place on the bottom of your list, or just avoid it completely. Very unfortunate how bad this studio has gotten.

I love this studio. The staff are amazing and do such good Choreographing and the Recitals are…read moreamazing all of the girls do such a good job and work so hard to give their best that they can. The costumes are so cute and yes, the website is fancy but the dances are too!!

For being local community theater, I have to say, this group does some bang up productions. I have…read moreseen a couple of them, and seriously, I am always entertained, the talent is fantastic, the direction is great, the atmosphere of their venues is great, the tickets are cheap, and they ALWAYS pick great, interesting shows to perform. I have seen things performed by this group that no one else is St. Louis is performing. I think that's the mark of an excellent community theater group. I recently saw Nunsense performed by them and it was fantastic! As usual, the talent on stage was great and the direction of the artists was top notch. They are next performing Carousel and even though that's not my favorite musical, I will likely go just because I am usually completely entertained by this group. Also, they hold open auditions for anyone looking to get involved in local theater in the St. Louis area. If I had even a lick of talent, I might consider it...but no one wants to hear me singing...I even avoid karaoke at all costs.

My daughter dance with this company for several years before we found a different place. I'd…read moremention what we experienced while attending this studio for over 16+ hours a week over the course of 3 years with 2 students. When daughter hurt her foot, she was advised to wear a boot from ortho until day of show to rest her foot, she was yelled at for moving "too slowing" when marking in tech even though the doctor instructed her to take it easy and walk slowly to rest before recital. Charging extra for adult costumes are normal bc it's more expensive from vendors but I was charged $5 for all of the costumes when my dancer had many child XLs. When questioned, office manager said it's not very much money. But my child was in over 13 dances so it adds up. Rule is rule right? Technique is lacking for older more advanced children. The classes are merged or canceled due to lower numbers. No real substitute teaching staff, when someone is out, the replacement is not well versed in the style of dance or not qualified to teach at that caliber. Maybe it's different now bc they have better teachers. All kinds of food are allowed in the studio rooms only for pre pro children. No regards to allergies as those are the same floor dancers roll on for contemporary, stretching or conditioning. My dancer rolled over cheese and crumbs weekly. One particular night, my dancer's friend had a medium allergic reaction to tree nut found on the floor. They did not have Benadryl on hand, so mom had to rush over to administer meds. This dancer also stayed home for a few days bc the allergic reaction was intense but no studio follow up after the incident. Balanchine based conservatory ballet school only has 1 1 hour technique class a week. Seems they have changed it to 1.5 hours for 2 days now. Rep and company class does not replace technique. In these classes, they are learning new choreo. Also pointe is normally offered right after technique, last year it was after lyrical, which is an elective. Only 1 1 hour pointe class a week for a 12 year old is not enough for a conservatory based dance school. No viewing the entire year at studio, handbook said once a quarter, but it's since been removed. Spent entire year having only seen my dancer at paid events like the fox theater, Busch stadium, and ambush where tickets are pricy. Dancer enjoyed community outreach, when we first joined the studio, company members danced in front of nursing homes and local parades. Didn't happen at all last year. Why can't you see your kids dance in the studio? On website, it says, "Instructors hail from prominent companies such as Joffrey Ballet, ABT, SAB, Alabama Ballet, Big Muddy Dance Co, and Ballet 314", but bio of teachers doesn't have anyone who has danced at Joffrey Ballet, ABT, SAB or Alabama Ballet.

We've had a great experience with this dance academy. The teachers are professional, and really…read moreattentive with the kids. We appreciate the positive, Christian environment and the way they balance structure with encouragement. Our daughter feels comfortable and excited to attend, and it shows in her confidence. Highly recommend to families looking for a supportive and well-run program.
