Horrible experience with my granddaughter she's so traumatized from this place, she doesn't even wants to go to dance anymore . The place is filthy, chairs full of stains, wood floor dusty, no toilet paper in the bathroom, anyway not a professional place to keep your kids read more

I give them 2 stars only because the studio looked cramped and uninviting. I suppose it is large enough to learn to dance in for a few dancers but for the life of me I can't figure out how they would teach a class of 5 of more! There wasn't a class happening when I was there. But they advertise Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop and Tumbling. Will have to go back again. read more

I enrolled my daughter in Studio 1014 in May of 2016. It was a really great place at the time and my daughter fell in love with dancing thanks to her teacher, Miss Heather. Around April of 2017 the owner of the dance studio was extremely disrespectful to me in front of the other moms during a Tuesday morning class for no real reason. I was helping a mom bring in Lularoe clothing for an event at the studio and we had propped the doors open because she had a lot of things to bring in and Cathy arrived and freaked out on me because we were "letting all the cold air out." It wasn't even my event, I was just helping another mom out. I had already been so much money on the recital in June that I just let it go. Come August 2017 I enrolled Delilah for another year and things rapidly deteriorated. Miss Heather was not teaching the Saturday classes regularly anymore due to competition travel. My daughter immediately started hating dance after the first class with Miss Heather's substitute and started crying and begging not to go. She flat out refuses to go if that teacher is the one there. The previous year there had been a different substitute for classes if Miss Heather wasn't there, Miss Lexie, and my daughter never complained and loved her classes so this wasn't her not being used to a substitute. At the same time as all of this was going on the cleanliness of the studio got worse and worse. The chairs are falling apart, the play room stopped getting cleaned, the roof is falling apart, the paint has huge chips coming off, the baseboards in the dance rooms are literally coming off the wall, and the floors look like they haven't seen a mop in months. Then the cherry on top of this great year was when costumes for the 2018 recital came in. They were trash. One was ridiculously oversized for my daughter even though the other leotard fit her like a glove - mind you they took her measurements for this leotards so it makes no sense to me that one fit perfectly and one was huge. The tutu looked super cheap and reeked of rotten fish. To go with the rotten tutu they provided a wrinkly satin skirt that was hand cut and had thread coming off of it. The costumes came in super close to the recital so dance pictures were impacted. I reached out to the owner of the studio with my concerns via email. I said I was shocked and disappointed. I said I didn't understand how an $85 costume fee was justified when the costume was a plain red leotard with a bow on it. I said "this feels insulting as a paying costumer" and her response was the rudest, most unprofessional response I'd ever received from a business owner. She was nothing but condescending, acted like I was the bad guy. I mentioned in a follow up email I was upset there was no end of the year banquet and she said I was "missing communication" because there was definitely an awards banquet. This was Monday 05/21 and I looked through ALL the communication - one mention of a banquet on the order form for Trophies but no date or time listed. Come 9 pm on Wednesday 05/23 there was a Facebook event posted and an email for the awards banquet on 05/31 - one week's heads up. I was not able to attend but my daughter went with her dad who dressed her and her brother up and got them really excited for the event. On Facebook it was listed as from 6:45-9:45pm. He got a flat tire on his way to pick her up and told me he would be running late. I said it shouldn't be too big of a deal since the event was supposed to be a little longer. He got there 30 minutes late and the banquet was over, everyone was already leaving. He said he walked in with the kids, got a certificate and a bag of fun dip, and that was it. The "dinner" was chips, pretzels, and cookies. Last year there was an actual dinner served so he didn't think he needed to feed the kids before taking them. My daughter left the event so upset, she couldn't understand why the celebration was literally nothing. After the banquet I made the decision, along with her dad, to just accept the wasted money on the recital costume and fees and not be a part of the recital. My daughter was beyond thrilled that she was 100% done with dance. When I went to go leave this review on the Facebook page I learned that they have turned off Facebook reviews. Not surprising because I am sure I am not the only person who is leaving this dance studio this year due to a bad experience. read more

Wish we had read reviews before enrolling our 8 year old daughter in hip hop. Two larger girls pushed our daughter during class during each session. We could see it on camera. Instructor was focused on her cell phone. Poor supervision for class size of just five students. Class always started late but sure finished on time. Daughter did not want to return because of rough housing but owner insisted we pay $70 for classes we did not attend. Beware! read more

The most uninviting environment you will ever meet. Cliquey, stuck-up, and huge egos. The worst of them all is Cathy, the owner... she chooses favorites, not accepting, and flat out rude. Do not let her near your child, or she will ruin his/her passion for dance. *Worst Environment and Community EVER* read more

Cathy Finne the owner of this dance studio is extremely unprofessional and unorganized. We decided to take my 8 year old daughter out of the hip hop dance class for kids because the songs they were playing were not radio version and used profanity and other language that is not okay for a child to listen to. My daughter stopped attending dance in December of 2013. After the holiday break, in the beginning of January, I called Studio 1014 numerous times to cancel my daughters membership. I left messages on a machine as well as numerous messages with the front desk who told me each time Cathy would return my call. She never did. Not once. Cathy has a policy that cancelation must be submitted in writing 2 weeks before the child's last day to stop tuition payment. No one ever called me back to explain this policy to me and tell me who to submit the letter to until February 6, 2014 (conveniently the day their next billing cycle starts) after many, many more phone calls to Studio 1014. Because of the holidays being so hectic we knew we would need to pay for January but because I wasn't able to submit the cancelation letter until February 6th when I finally got a return call, Cathy charged us an extra month of tuition for February and refused to refund it. Cathy is very inconsiderate of the parents. She does not follow up with parents, she does not return phone calls, and she does not try to resolve issues in a professional manner. I highly recommend you take your children elsewhere. If I can't even trust her to be organized enough to return calls or be honest enough to refund money owed, I certainly wouldn't trust her with my child for dance or summer camp. -Cassie M. read more
