Allegro has been amazing! It feels like a family and second home for my daughter and there is so much room for her to grow with Allegro as she ages.

We absolutely love the owner, staff, and teachers and communication with parents is excellent. I would recommend to those who are wanting to dance at any level from recreational to those with processional aspirations. My daughter has received top training and has had the most incredible teachers over the years!! She trains in every style offered and I fully believe she'd live at the studio if possible :D Additionally I recommend checking out their amazing competition team program. A BIG thing I love is that they offer sensory friendly performances and have a beautiful danceABLE program. I really don't feel there is anywhere else like Allegro in WA state. Thank you Allegro for being my daughter's home away from home.

Where do I even begin?…read more This place my second home. I feel safe. I feel loved. I feel happy. I feel beautiful. I have been dancing since I was 6, and this dance studio has changed my life for the better. You will never ( and I mean NEVER ) see a studio that is as neat and clean as The Dance Academy. The floors are swept, and vacuumed every night. Every mirror and window is sparkly clean by the time the doors are locked at the end of the night. The couple who owns the studio are two of the most dedicated people I have ever met. They are always accommodating people's needs and making sure every dancer and their family is happy and feels cared for at the end of the day. It's little things like letting the smaller children ( or in some occasions, us older dancers ) have a piece of candy at the end of the day, or rewarding them with a prize from the prize box for good behavior in class or acing a new skill. They are always open to new ideas and appreciate all levels of creativity. The wife is a dance teacher and is ALWAYS so kind hearted and comes up with beautiful choreography that send lovely messages and leave the audience in tear from time to time. The husband is fantastic about making sure everything is "ship shape", from fixing ballet barres, to organizing tangled cords, and building INSANE props for our dances, and even giving out popsicles after rehearsal on hot summer days. He is always happy and has a smile on his face. Their children dance at the studio as well, and they are fabulous. All three girls are so kind and respectful and make classes a blast to be in. The staff is phenomenal. Every single one of them has their own style, and put passion into every second they teach. They all truly care about the dancers, not just their paychecks. They are all organized and have the perfect balance of fun, and discipline. Their brains are packed full of knowledge, and though they are all young, they are so wise, and have answers to every question. Our dancers are always respectful to each other, teachers, and all guests. At competitions, we have gotten sportsmanship awards several times because we play fair, and support not only each other, but even our competitors - everyone! The best thing about The Dance Academy is the atmosphere created by each of these things. There is no other studio like this one. Personally, I have come to realize my dance friends are my true best friends, I can depend in them for anything, because that's the way we've been taught here. We all share a passion to dance and it's beautiful. We are one big family, and the studio is the reason we are so close. Thanks to The Dance Academy for forming my live for the art, I am planning to go off to Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, WA to study dance and choreography and maybe one day open my own studio! There's no place on earth like it, and I am blessed to have such a place to call home.

I greatly appreciate Shari's kind but firm leadership and the fact that she brings me in every step of the way. I'm enabled to be a partner in my daughter's dance journey, rather than just the wallet. Along with beautiful dance technique, my daughter is learning poise, manners, good sportsmanship, and how to carry herself as a serious athlete. I am thankful that both my daughter and I feel comfortable in talking with Shari and the other teachers about absolutely anything. We know our thoughts will be welcomed and addressed respectfully, without fear of consequence. The studio is always clean and is a welcoming environment to dancers, parents, and siblings. Most nights my daughter asks to stay long after her classes have ended because she feels so at home and has built strong friendships. In addition to the High Impact Team, we love the recitals and extra performance opportunities. It is only April and my daughter is already counting down to Victorian Country Christmas because she had so much fun dancing in the shows there. We are proud to be apart of The Dance Academy of Puyallup. It's a great home for any dancer!

Oh My Goodness!! I cannot say enough about this place!…read moreFrom the first time I "enquired" about this business they were PROMPT, not pushy. Persistent but not pushy. Thorough without being annoying. A+ on info and reaching out to answer your questions and encourage you to "try on" a class before you commit. I was new to the area and thought it might be a fun way to establish a routine. As an adult with grown children I wouldn't have thought the dance studio that was a family kind of thing would have been a place for me to thrive as an adult. I'm not competitive and wanted a reason to exercise. I've found a family type of environment, a fun way to exercise with out the pressure to be more than you are (or want to be)... the folks that work here are professionals that welcome any level, positive and encouraging. At 55 I'm having the best time! Thank you SSD!

One of her teachers were wonderful, but her other teacher who was still a high school student seemed to lack the patience to work with her kindergarten energy level.

Front desk workers are super friendly and overall we were happy, just a little disappointed with the ease of the choreography.
