Dear Encore Dance Academy Studio, When my first dance…read morerecital day came, I was so nervous to going onto the stage and messing up the dance, but after talking to my dance teacher and one of my dancer friends, I felt a whole lot better! I will be returning back to this dance studio and continue with my dancing career. I hope the new dancers are as nice when I was there back in January 2024. I do want to thank my parents for signing me up for hip-hop dance classes because I just love to dance. So if you are looking for a nearby dance studio, I would 100% recommend Encore Dance Academy! Miss Emily is amazing and she really helped me become a better dancer. Ever since I joined Miss Em's hip-hop dance class, I have improved my dance moves so much!! Sincerely, ELLIE PALMER.

I had the opportunity to attend the Ballroom Monday drop-in class, while I was in town for a few…read moreweeks. I have never received dance lessons before, so I was a bit nervous. From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed; I was greeted by the instructor and follow dancers. No partner; no problem. The way they teach the class, you do not need a partner. You actually learn the dance is phases and you go down the line and practice with a different partner each time. Being new at this and knowing I have coordination issues, I never felt I was being singled out for messing up. If I had a question or asked to see it again, it was not a bother. All the participants are very understanding and accepting. The practice dance portion of the class allows you to practice what you learned or dance a different style. Again no partner; no problem. Those that attend the class are so friendly and willing to teach others, that you will be on the dance floor more than you thought!! I highly recommend taking lessons here. I went back for several Ballroom Mondays and even tried the Westie Thursdays.

I have been taking lessons at Fred Astaire Fort Wayne for about a year and it has been an amazing…read moreexperience! All of the instructors are wonderful people and very knowledgeable dancers. They truly care about you and help you progress as a dancer and as a person too. The other students are fantastic people as well. They are extremely welcoming and happy to have someone new begin. Personally, dancing with Fred Astaire Fort Wayne has been very therapeutic for me and ironically, I didn't realize I needed something therapeutic in my life. I have been very blessed to stumble upon this new hobby that will be with me the rest of my life. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner!

The only possible complaint I could have is the small floor size (and for most dance studios, it's…read moremore than adequate-I'm just spoiled!) The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, and the students are welcoming to newcomers-no cattiness or backbiting here. Child-friendly, including instructors willing to teach young children. Lots of options for group classes, including fitness and adult ballet. The two annual showcases are a ton of fun and Starlite Ball is held at the Century Center--feels like dancing on a huge stage. For competitors, not only are the regular teachers fantastic, the visiting coaches, including Ray Rivers and Elena Grineko, are way above the quality one might expect in the suburban Midwest. The parties are great, with plenty of good music, and there's even a "newcomer" party for students not quite ready to jump into dancing with strangers. If you're looking for ballroom/Latin dance instruction in the South Bend area, give Dancesport a call!

Our family had been clients of Epic Dance for three years. Unfortunately, our experience ended with…read moreour family being reported to Child Protective Services over a situation that was quickly determined to be nothing more than a dog bite. A few days before class, our daughter had been bitten on her side by a neighbor's dog. It was an incident we had already addressed within our family. During class, the instructor asked our daughter about the mark and she explained exactly what had happened. Despite this explanation--and despite the fact that most weeks we were physically present in the facility during the two hours our daughter was there for class--Epic chose to report our family to the Indiana Department of Child Services without contacting either parent first. As a result, a DCS caseworker came to our home and opened an investigation. During that visit, the caseworker examined the mark and took a photograph of it, explaining that it was clearly consistent with a dog bite and that documenting that fact was important for the record. The investigation was closed almost immediately. The DCS worker also told us directly that the situation should never have made it past the hotline. To be clear about what occurred: * Epic reported our family to Child Protective Services without contacting us * Parents were regularly present in the building during class times but were never approached about the mark * A DCS investigation was opened and a caseworker came to our home * The caseworker documented the mark and indicated it was clearly consistent with a dog bite * The case was closed quickly * The DCS worker stated the report should never have advanced through the system After we raised concerns about what happened, we received a formal letter from Epic's attorneys stating that the studio believes it acted appropriately under Indiana's mandatory reporting laws and warning us to ensure that anything we say publicly is truthful. So this review is simply that: the truth of what our family experienced. Mandatory reporting laws exist for an important reason. However, situations like this show how serious and disruptive a report can be when concerns are escalated without even a conversation with the parents. A simple question to us--who were frequently sitting in the building during class--could have clarified the situation immediately. Instead, our family experienced a government investigation that the responding caseworker said should never have moved forward in the first place. Because of this experience, we have withdrawn our daughter from Epic Dance.
