Take Five is the best, this is a five-star establishment all the way!…read more We had our daughter in classes here several years ago, then took an extended break, and now she's back in jazz dance and loving it so far. The new location is really nice, the dance rooms are spacious and fairly sound-proof, they all have viewing windows with benches for seating right outside them. Staff is really friendly and nice, it's a very relaxed environment. The teachers my daughter has had have all been suuuuper sweet, and the one she's got now (Ms. Nicole, probably the sweetest person I've ever met) even remembered her from such a long time ago when she had my daughter in her class before. It's nice that the teachers are so encouraging and foster a love of dance instead of being harsh or critical. They're also fairly young, highly skilled, up on the new choreography styles, and most have been there many years...no high turnover rate for instructors. One thing I like is that you have some flexibility when it comes to making up missed classes...the student can take the same type or try a new class for the make up session. Payment is on a month-to-month basis, so I was told that as long as they receive advance warning, you can withdraw your student at any time, if need be. Note that they only accept credit card or automatic payment, no personal checks or cash. There's also an annual registration fee. Nothing bad to say about Take Five Dance, I'm really glad we have this studio available to us, love it, this is as good as it gets!

What really makes this studio special is the sense of community. It's welcoming and positive, and the kids build great friendships while gaining confidence and discipline through dance. Watching my daughter grow as both a dancer and a person over the past five years has been so special, and we're so grateful to be part of this studio.

While I don't have a child that attends this school I do have relatives who are very involved in…read morethis program. The positive is this; They are very good teachers who make the students go above and beyond their potential. With that said here are the negatives; It's definitely a money thing here. If a student teaches a class, they get no discount in their tuition. You have to teach for 2 years to get paid. So the school gets free teachers while they collect tuition from both the student teachers and students. It is my understanding now that when you buy tickets to a recital you will pay a higher price for the better seats, unbelievable! When they went to California to a World Competition tryouts, the owner was posting Facebook pictures on the beach while the kids were training. In that same trip the costumes that were picked for them looked more like pajamas than an outfit to make them stand out and look professional. And, you don't dare miss a practice or you may find yourself out of a skit. Bottom line for me is while they do a great job teaching it's become all about money. Put the students FIRST and the money will follow.

Amazing school. This dance school is the true definition of community, culture, and…read moreprofessionalism. The school numerous times has gone above and beyond for not only my family but others.

This school unfortunately didn't work out for my family. We had some serious issues, and leaving…read morehas pretty much been a horrifying experience. If a response from the company is posted here, and I assume one will be, please just remember I don't gain from writing an honest review about my experience. My kid is only 5, we danced with the school for a while and we were unhappy there. We left, no real loss. One thing I will share is that my daughter has very poor vision and wears glasses. I was asked by the director to have her dance without her glasses because it throws off the aesthetic of the performances. She's 5, and it's a safety issue so of course I refused. Plus, my daughter is beautiful and unique with her glasses and quite frankly only added beauty to the stage. I will also state that I was in the room multiple times when free t-shirts were offered for google and Facebook reviews. It's easy to notice a pattern of review spikes during that timeframe. This has been refuted by the school, however I was present during the offer.

This was our first time at the location. I was impressed with the professionalism. I like to describe this place as "gritty" in a good way. The kids, the environment, the teachers...they all have a high level of work ethic and are serious about what they do but have a nice sense of fun balanced in their actions. They aren't afraid to work hard and work together. It was nice seeing the older kids interact and the talent level seems to be awesome! I live in Anthem and it was a very convenient and simple commute.

Very memorable!!... memorable because apparently we all have a little sex-kitten-walk hidden in us... memorable because strapping on some 6" heels and straddling a pole brings out the inner-skank in us. In short, whatever it evokes in you, know that *something will* be evoked! This is the chance for you to be in a private atmosphere (it was just a few of us girls and one instructor girl and plenty of poles) and learn some sexy moves that I'd honestly say have lots of 'perks' to their use. The facility is a bit hidden on this strip-mall.. enter in and don't expect to be overwhelmed with modernness and sexiness: it's an older building with a check-in counter and a class room setting in the back with an iPod speaker and plenty of poles and mirrors and class-lighting. Make sure you get the clean pole ;) What stands out is the instructors, their friendliness and the entertainment you are about to have. The shoe selection was kinda tossed around and some of them looked beat-up and after grabbing a sexy 6" red pair (with good size straps), we all tip-toed over to the back room. Class was long enough for us to all practice and then do solos to some Gaga (which, btw, don't let your MOH video! - major blackmail!). They had catalogs of these totally hot, sexy shoes (not for walking the mall, but for walking the pole) in case you were wanting to take home a 'starter-kit'. Like Hillary P. says: awesome workout, increased awareness of the way I move, and a happy husband (AND wife!).. need I say more??

Pole dancing lessons have been pretty trendy for quite some time. I never took the opportunity to…read moretake S Factor classes when I lived in Los Angeles so when I heard about Pole Divas, I was pretty excited. The class is taught by Emily Khuen. You can contact her at emily@poledivas.com. The course I took lasted six weeks and was an introduction to pole dancing. There were eight of us in the class: several college students and three of us married types. Drawbacks were: -Only one pole for eight people so minimal time to practice your new moves, everyone had to watch each other try new moves, and you had to wait for others to work through the moves -The pole was up on a mini stage and I was always afraid I was going to go flying off it Positives: -It was an awesome workout -Increased confidence and awareness of the way I move -A happy husband I say give it a try. They aren't trying to turn you into a stripper so don't worry. It's just fun!
