All of her amazingly talented teachers at Alyson's School of Dance have given her so many opportunities to enhance her skills along with the confidence to compete.

I look forward to watching my daughter continue to enhance her dancing skills at Alyson's School of Dance. -Amy

Terrible Dance Studio, don't waste your money! In trying to find a dance studio for my 5 year-old…read moredaughter, I signed her up for dance camp at Dance Kraze and I was highly disappointed. The rudest, most unwelcoming environment I have ever seen- including the teachers and other parents. The Owner, Andrea, never once introduced herself the entire week nor wanted to meet the new families attending her studio. There was a 6 year age range for the camp, which I felt was far too great. I was a dancer for 16 years and have seen many amazing studios, this is certainly not one of them!

From working in a similar environment, I will say the majority off the staff as well as the owner…read moretakes a lot of pride in their work and makes their students a priority above what a typical business would. They deff go above and beyond with their efforts.

I have been at Riley's going on our sixth year and love it!! I now have my two sons and my daughter…read morein this school. It has been a great pleasure watching my children grow as dancers and also as individuals. This school is very professional and does a great job making you feel part of an extended family. I have so many new friends and always feel welcome and comfortable. I can only say great things about the staff. They know what they are doing and have been a family of dancers and a school for over 75 years. I have always recommended this school to family and friends. The recital is a true show in the sense of Broadway and my family comes from all over to enjoy this spectacular event. I am one proud dance dad!! As for a previous comment I saw regarding the rules; it is clear every year what is expected of our children and ourselves every year when we register. It is in writing and you sign it. I think for you to say how horrible your experience was and then say you went back to register again shows that you see the quality of the school. My kids are always fed before the show and during intermission and have never been told they cannot eat. Your child is with you and is not left with the staff of the school. So if you brought your sick husband to auditorium full of people ad could not find a baby sitter for your youngest is sad and is your responsibility as an adult and parent. I also have never had an issue with my family seeing my children during the show. You are over exaggerating everything.

My daughter loves her classes and has made many friends. In my opinion, they prepare the best recital around. Riley's has shown my daughter to also care about the surrounding community, with the work they do for the local loaves and fishes. As far as the first review, I have signed the rules every year, when you make another decision you meed to own it. My daughter actually was sick at a recital when she was 7.. She vomited multiple times. They were more than helpful with the situation, allowed her to have food and drink to help the situation. We also had the option to leave if she needed to. However, my daughter did not want to, so we made the best of it. The next day she was not feeling better and we weren't able to attend to recital. The staff at Riley's wanted to make sure Catherine was feeling better. They were never mean or inappropriate. The staff and co-directors have always been respectful and wonderful.

There is so much good I can say about Footloose School of Dance. As I sit here ready to write a…read morereview, I'm trying to think of any potential bad and...I don't think I can! The instructors? Amazing, and so patient with each child. The classes? Worth every penny to see the kid's faces come recital weekend. The facility? Always clean, regardless of how many people are inside. The owner? A great person. There are many different classes offered for all ages. Ballet, tap, hip hop, acro, lyrical/liturgical, musical theater, combos...even ballroom dancing classes for adults! The studio is celebrating their 25th anniversary this year and like a fine wine, it just gets better with age!

I have danced at David Potter's since I was three. I danced there for fourteen years, through the…read moreend of high school, and came back this year after college to join an adult jazz/tap class. David takes an extraordinary interest in his students. He learns the student's names and personalities from early on. He learns the student's strengths and weaknesses and is able to individualize the help with technique as a result. It is true that we "learn how to dance, not just a dance". The focus is on learning the techniques of dance and a variety of steps that transfer from year to year and to any dance beyond the studio. Classes are very affordable, less expensive than anywhere else around here. As a child that allowed for the ability to try other activities in addition to dance while still continuing dance every year. As an adult it provides for an economical and fun exercise opportunity. The recitals are also very affordable with inexpensive tickets and practical costumes. The costumes are reasonably priced and able to be worn again. David has a long history of dance experience as well as a solid education in dance with a Masters degree. He loves being able to pass this experience on to his students. His life has been devoted to teaching his students how to dance. He takes great pride and joy in the accomplishments of his students, both in dance and in other areas. It is definitely worth checking out this studio if you or your child is interested in dance.

I've been to a handful of dance schools in the area, but I had just started dating a girl who I had…read morenever danced with and wanted to start out somewhere new. I found a Groupon for Arthur Murray Dance Studio and decided to give it a shot. I thought it was strange that they didn't care to see the Groupon (which cost me actual money) when I showed up for my scheduled appointment. We discussed what I was looking for and got a tour of the facility. All the while my feeling of unease was steadily increasing. This didn't feel like a fun date... if felt like buying a used car. Finally we came to the lesson itself and my opinion was sealed. Despite my practically pleading that we do some actual introductory dance (both I and my girlfriend had some experience), we were forced to go through this canned line-dancing-slash-walking procedure that was so bland and unhelpful as to be insulting. This lasted for what felt like an eternity and finally, once we were both thoroughly mortified, we were allowed to do a bit of dance. A tiny bit. Almost as quickly as we had begun, I was then whisked away to a mandatory sit down session with another of their salesmen, where they tried to pressure me into buying a huge, expensive learning package. If she could read minds, she would know how hilariously wrong she had been to try. This was a few months ago and - needless to say - I never returned for my second lesson. So essentially I paid full price for a single session and what I got was little more than a sales pitch. The silver lining is that my girlfriend and I still make jokes about that awful experience months after the class. A very memorable second date. I've only had the one experience, so maybe this is the school for you... but I've had great luck in this area, so I encourage you to look around.

When I first started, I filled out a form to indicate my expectations. They were and still are. 1) exercise. 2) have fun. 3) learn to dance. Todd has been great to ensure that all 3 are met. At first there was some pressure to learn many dances. This was to introduce me to each. However, I got confused and requested to concentrate on a couple at a time. Todd has been very accommodating and listens to my wishes. I am now testing out of the Waltz Silver 2 level. I've worked on Swing, Fox Trot, and Samba, but still at Bronze 1 level. I also take lessons from the other instructors, and they are all very good. During the week are group lesson that I enjoy. The instructor tried to make sure everyone is engaged and gives individual help when needed. There are also practice party sessions on Fridays, that are fun and a chance to try different dances The lessons are expensive, but I feel that I'm getting good value. We don't bother with the sales conversation. I just pick what I want to do for the year. It's a great place to learn to dance, get a work out , have fun, and meet others that share the love of ballroom dancing.
