If…read morethey are not "recommended" it is because the people that made them, probably created their yelp accounts to defend the dance studio that they LOVE to the one unhappy reviewer. Which is very unfortunate.* I have watched this studio grow from the ground up. There is a reason it has seen so much growth and success. The studio owner is dedicated to ensuring that each child is growing and learning at the best challenging pace that they can handle. Many incredible dancers (on a national level) have been produced under the instruction of Ms Augga. The teachers and families are wonderful. I have seen so many life long friendships that have flourished through this studio.

I wish I could take away stars from this place…read more I signed my daughter up here and she immediately didn't like the experience. There were too many young girls in one class so the atmosphere was chaotic. We decided to take her out prior to the group beginning to learn a new routine for the next recital. Overall, she only attended twice. 2 months later, I began receiving threatening invoices demanding payment for the 2 months prior. I called and said I wouldn't be paying. I was told that even though they knew I dropped and even filled the spot that my daughter left, that since I didn't come in and fill out a drop card, but instead notified them over the phone that she was dropping, that they could and would keep charging me. I was outraged.... eventually, they sent me to collections, ruined my credit, and I ended up paying over $400 for 2 dance classes.... all because the person on the phone didn't tell me I needed to come in and drop the classes in person. Their business is located in an industrial garage. It's not comfortable or nice. There is really nothing positive that I can say about it.

At least, this is the third-class service I have experienced with them. I emailed them 3 times, and they plainly ignored me. They took my money ($155) and pretty made a run for it. They are unprofessional and did not even have the courtesy to reply to a paying customer. I am unable to comment on their actual dance and acro classes because my kids did not get a chance to attend. Never again will I waste my money on this establishment!

Best kept secret in Snohomish County!

I came here with my friend to try their silks class! It was a trial class for $5, which was an…read moreamazing deal. The class was held in a downstairs room with a separate entrance. The instructor was friendly and provided a great warm-up. There were two stands with beautiful red silks. I enjoyed the height of the room and the welcoming atmosphere.

My daughters, now teenagers, have danced with Pac West since they were three.

There are classes for all disciplines and all levels and the director remains sensitive to the needs of the students. They have great classes for the little itty-bitties, kick-ass tap for all ages, hip hop for teens, plus cheer workshops and even awesome belly dancing for adults! The instructors really care about the students, too. More importantly, they make it fun - which, after all, is what it's all about.

I have such gratitude for the YMCA. Their affordable adaptive swimming classes gave my autistic…read morechildren water safety skills and confidence in the water which has given me an unquantifiable amount of peace of mind. On top of that, we couldn't be happier with our new family membership. My kids love the kids zone and frequently ask to go there. The swimming pool has been a great addition to our weekly routine, and the kids night out events have allowed my husband and I to have regular date nights for the first time in a decade. My kids are really excited to get signed up for YMCA summer camp, too. YMCA programs have really helped my family thrive. My only wish is that the kid zone would expand their hours. It's tough for working parents to have dinner and get there before they close on weekday evenings, and even harder on the weekends because they close at lunch time on Saturday and are closed on Sunday. And once the kids have finished their weekend sports engagements, there is just no time. I would be willing to pay more for after hours kid zone access!

But I have seen some reviews by Seniors that complain about the high fees here - Actually, a lot of Medicare plans pay for exercise programs - my Premera Supplement does - so I hope the Y takes some of those FYI!

My daughter is a competitive dancer at Pilchuck Dance Academy(P2) in Marysville WA. She started…read moredancing there at the age of 4, she is now thirteen. This will be her 6th year on the competition team. In those 6 years she has performed in Disneyland, Las Vegas, The Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, Seaside Oregon, as well as many local regional competitions. In Connecticut our little studio from Marysville took on the big studios from New York, Boston,  and Washington DC and won a national title. The excitement on the kids faces was priceless (the parents too for that matter). Last year we performed at Benaroya Hall for the 8th annual Jump Session Show. The kids got to perform with dancers from around the world to raise money for charity. After the show the director of Benaroya sought out the P2 kids to tell them how professional they behaved, and that came from the other performers too. The kids and studio were invited back next year on the spot!      The teachers there have done a wonderful job transforming all the kids into great dancers. The kids have great respect for the teachers as well as the teachers do for the kids. My daughter is doing all forms of dance: Tap, Jazz, Contemporary, Ballet, Point, Modern, And Hip Hop. In the past she has not liked Tap or Hip Hop but Jovon and Rodney have made it fun but at the same time tough.      I have not written a  review for anything before but I am writing this one because I want to counter some of the other reviews I have read. Most of those have come from disgruntled teachers and parents that have left the studio or been asked to not come back. The people that hide behind the anonymity of a phony screen name to make negative comments need to get a life. This is a great place for your child to learn to dance, just for fun or competitively.
