    This studio is a mess of disorganization and unprofessionalism. On multiple occasions, classes have…read morestarted late or been completely canceled, often without advance notice to parents. Children have been left sitting in the lobby for the entire class hour with no communication whatsoever. And no, this wasn't a one-time fluke--it's happened more than once in just a few months. Similarly, instructors find it acceptable to gossip with the children about other instructors, management, and parents who have left and returned to the studio. Apparently, it's considered disloyal to leave one studio, try out another, and then return. Still, they will gladly take your money and talk unfavorable behind your back to everyone, including the other minor students. When I approached the front desk, hoping for clarity on the recurring late and nonexistent class with one particular instructor (and maybe even a solution), I was met with a wall of excuses. Apparently, according to the desk staff, it's "common in the industry" for dance instructors to show up late or not at all. Attempts to de-escalate the tone of the front staff were futile, as they were in fighting mode from the start--a sign that this must be a constant defensive state due to ongoing operational issues. Another strategy - an attempt to escalate the issue or speak to the owner was blocked. I was refused contact info and told the owner couldn't be disturbed to come out of their office. Rather than acknowledging the issue or offering any kind of apology, the front desk doubled down with blame-shifting and illogical reasoning. My personal favorite was the suggestion that it's the child's responsibility to call their parent if class is cancelled (20 minutes after they are dropped off), because "many six-year-old students have phones these days." If that's your communications protocol, it might be time to rethink your business model. I was told refunds would not be issued (even though none had been requested), no attempt was made to rectify the situation, and no one took responsibility. There were simply more excuses piled on top of indifference and anger at being bothered by this disturbance, daring to have an adult conversation about an issue concerning a place where I take my child for education and care. To the owner: If you're reading this, please understand that you may have some excellent instructors - one which apparently left recently because of all the drama. But those instructors--and your studio's reputation--are being undermined by front desk staff who seem more invested in deflecting blame and stonewalling than in supporting your students or maintaining basic professionalism. Parents and kids notice. And they talk.

    My kids did a free trial class for cheer/k pop with Armando and they loved it! The music and his…read moreenergy is so fun, I wanted to jump up and dance myself. They didn't have the skills as other students had in the class because they both never done anything like this before but (Mr Burks I believe his name is) assured me as long as they had fun they'll catch up in no time to all the other students. So I signed them up! I highly recommend this place. I've only interacted with the two men and a lady online to ask questions and every time I have seen them they have been very friendly and welcoming to myself and children. If you're looking for a clean, affordable place to have your kids dance I recommend checking this place out!

Teacher Ally and her team are the most professional, fair, yet so caring about each dancer as an individual. So excited for the whole team and all the families to be at Nationals next week. It is so true when said "Hard work, dedication, and commitment to your passion pays off" Thank you Miss Ally and your amazing team for all you do Words are not enough. Now go out there and kill it !!!!

    I just have to say I love this studio so much literally the best environment for kids. My daughter…read moreloves it here and loves the staff. Loves Ally.My daughter is here at the studio for four hours a day she does competitive dance and she wouldn't change it. The owner makes competition so less stressful and she's so supportive of all the girls and boys she's their biggest cheerleader. I 100% recommend this dance studio. If you're wanting to do competitive dance it is a Commitment, so I highly recommend you actually read the CONTRACT. Definitely not for everyone!, It's a big commitment for your kids and your family but definitely the best for your child if they wanted to do competitive. I absolutely love that they do give you time off for the holidays and vacation and summer break. We're so looking forward to the next season. Thank you profusion talent dance studio family for being you.

    My daughter has been attending LGSPA since October 2019. It has since changed owners and wow, what…read morea difference. We didn't have any issues before with the exception of a few mix ups with payment, but you can see the difference with a motivated new owner and refreshed staff. The women my daughter has had as teachers have all been so wonderful and encouraging. The teachers have all shown so much passion for their art. They are patient and always make dance class fun. My daughter looks forward to dance class and always comes out with a smile. They recently had a small showcase that was so well organized and enjoyable and still took necessary precautions due to the pandemic. None of my daughter's classmates wanted to perform in the showcase but she was still able to dance. I was surprised she wanted to and I thank her teacher for giving her that confidence to dance it alone. We'll continue to attend LGSPA as long as my daughter is interested in dancing. I look forward to more dance recitals.

My little niece did so well in her play. The acting teacher Ms Sam was very friendly & accommodating, and my niece looked forward to every practice. I will be sending my children to this studio when they are old enough! Staff is knowledgeable. Great family values all around here.
