I asked how to get tickets well in advance & they said my daughter's mother would be able to get them if needed. She didn't handle things properly which caused me more money & time with my attorney. When I explained this to them after the fact they tried gaslight me & say they offer tickets to each parent (even though I asked & they didn't offer me) when I asked them about this & why I didn't get that option they just stopped replying & I haven't heard from them since. Good luck to anyone in my situation, these people don't care.

I saw drastic results after three classes and always look forward to the next. The demographic for this studio ranges from 16- 65 from what I can tell. Just about anyone can do it with determination! The instructor will modify anyone's movements for proper alignment- i love how she interacts with the class. Take advantage of the before the challenge pictures and measurements because you will see changes. There's usually specials and promotions on their Instagram and Facebook.

All of the students, parents, and teachers are afraid, Tari truly does not want any feedback just your money and a whole lot of it. As a parent I asked questions and was yelled and screamed at and chased out of the office (not a dramatization). Families spending $30k to $50k + annually are not allowed to even question a schedule or a bill. This is the most expensive studio in Baton Rouge and while it does have a great technical dance program, there is no loyalty and no grace given. Tari will not hesitate to run off long term families and children. This culture of fear has persisted in this community for decades unfortunately.

I absolutely love everything about Tari's School of dance! It truly is a second home, and actually…read moredreading the day I graduate and have to leave it. All the staff and teachers are so supportive and welcoming to everyone, especially the owner Mrs Tari! She knows what is best and she will do her best to help us, she gives us COUNTLESS opportunities and is always there supporting you! I've been on company for about 8 years now and wouldn't wanna do anything else! It's been the best experience and decision l've ever made..... people say when you pass away you have 7 minutes of your best memories, dancing at Tari's studio will be mine!

Great experience with DeFrances! Convenient location on Coursey near Jones Creek in Baton Rouge…read more Very nice staff who work here. One of the best dance places in Baton Rouge that's been teaching girls and boys to dance and compete for years. My girls sadly only wanted to dance for a couple years, but if/when they ask to again, we'd gladly go back to DeFrances. My girls loved their teachers, and I always enjoyed the parent watch classes. DeFrances always chose beautiful costumes and were incredibly organized for the recitals. We danced with another local company before, but DeFrances definitely had it down to a science especially compared to the other place. Dance is an expensive hobby (in my opinion) but well worth it for the skills learned and confidence earned. I would bring my girls back here in a heartbeat and saw no reason to not recommend DeFrances to other parents out there looking to start their kiddos in dance.

I recently had a horrible experience with this dance studio. If you have a non caucasian child I…read morestrongly suggest you do not choose this studio and if your child already attends I suggest you seek another establishment. I am saddened that I witnessed racism amongst the children. Although I understand racism is a learned behavior and begins at home with family, a place of business should not be tolerating it. Especially with children! I am sad for the child who has learned already to discriminate but watching someone I care for deeply be subject to racism is heartbreaking. I can NOT sit quiet and let De Frances know that their refusal to even address the issue is ok. A young child has been forever effected by these interactions during an innocent dance class. No child should ever be made to feel ashamed over their skin color, ethnicity, religion, etc. I am appalled that adults in charge think this behavior is ok and claim there's nothing they can do or say because they can't control what other families believe. Really, REALLY De Frances? You want to send the message that little kids having to experience racism while in your care is a better option than addressing the issue. If you think addressing the problem is uncomfortable for you, imagine the little one whose confused about being discriminated against by fellow students over her skin color. And to learn you all just don't even care. Unacceptable.

First, Pauline offered the first class free--what a gift, right?! I don't know how long she will do that, so come visit soon! I love to dance and Pauline has presented a class that allows you to own your movement and get in touch with YOU. I appreciate that she's created a space for that in her class. Nia has a small level of choreography, but you personalize it and go as aggressive or as relaxed as you need. I like so many genre's of music and at her class, I think I heard jazz, exotic music styles and maybe even some pop. It was smooth. To tie it all together, Nia dance incorporates an awareness of breath, body and mind. If you're looking for a dance class that is healing, fun, uplifts and prepares you for the rest of your day/week check out her class.
