I rarely leave reviews, but this situation warrants serious attention…read more On a Friday, that too on Good Friday, at approximately 2 PM--during normal business hours--vehicles parked for no more than 30 minutes in spots facing Spring Creek and Independence were aggressively towed. This occurred despite the fact that the studio itself appeared inactive at the time, with no visible customer activity and ample parking available directly in front of its entrance. From a reasonable and community-oriented perspective, this enforcement appears excessive and disproportionate. Parking policies are understandable when they serve a legitimate business need--such as ensuring access for paying customers. However, enforcing towing under these circumstances, where there was no apparent demand or obstruction, raises concerns about fairness, proportionality, and good faith. Businesses operate within communities, and with that comes a level of responsibility to act reasonably--not punitively--especially when no harm or inconvenience is being caused. Towing a vehicle within such a short window, absent clear necessity, creates the impression of predatory enforcement rather than responsible property management. If this is indeed standard practice, it would be advisable for the studio to: * Ensure clear, prominent, and unambiguous signage * Allow a reasonable grace period * Exercise discretion based on actual parking demand Actions like these don't just inconvenience individuals--they erode trust within the broader community. I strongly urge management to reconsider how these policies are implemented. A business thrives not just on rules, but on fairness, judgment, and respect for the community it serves.

Not only has Lily learnt technique, but also has a healthy respect for her teachers, the art of ballet, and the discipline needed to excel. She just loves every teacher she has had there and being cast in the Nutcracker each year has been truly magical. If you are looking for a school that cares about the training of your child then look no further than Linda and Kirt Hathaway... you wont ever regret it!

Our children have all happily attended Hathaway Academy of Ballet for just about a decade. We have…read morea 4yr old daughter in the children's division, an 11yr. old son in the student division and a 14 yr. old daughter in the pre professional program. My 14 yr old's training and development gained her entrance into the prestigious Bolshoi Summer Intensive program and The Florida Classical Ballet. And my 11yr. old son had the opportunity to participate in his first intensive with The Florida Classical Ballet as well. Hands down, Hathaway Academy of Ballet has demonstrated superior classical dance instruction for our children and many in our community ranging from 3 years old through the pre professional divisions. The directors and instructors are courteous and respectful of all their dancers and their families. They take great pride in providing superior technique, pointe preparation, performance opportunities and community engagement. They are honest, fair and provide individualized attention when needed to correct technique and form. If you are going to invest your precious time and hard-earned dollars somewhere for your child to pursue the beautiful artistic study of dance, do so where you can see that you are getting something of great value. Hathaway Academy of Ballet is that place.

If I could give this studio more stars I would! We were at the studio for a year and it was the…read morebest year of my kids lives! My son has ADHD and they not only embraced him, but develped his technique and he thrived! My daughter is very young and only did the recreation program, but all of the teachers (especially Tammy and cooper) were absolutely amazing! Because of DI both of my kids are way above their age level in all genres from just one year of dancing there. The staff is extremely professional, and the owner is just so on top of everything at the studio. The best part of the studio is that none of the teachers or staff (Including the owner) get involved with ANY of the drama at the studio. They place the kids where they will do the best in technique and maturity wise. The only reason why we left is because we moved out of state, however we are going back every year for some of the conventions they participate in so we have the chance to dance with them. They care about molding your dancer into a professional dancer, not just a competitive dancer who stops dancing at 18 when they age out of competitions. They work with the seniors in getting them into the right collages and help them earn scholarships to pay for tuition. The owner and staff are well connected as well to get your foot in the door if you want to go more towards the entertainment industry. The ballet program is top notch with dancers that get into the most prestigious dance schools. (They have placed at least 3 dancers at Juilliard last year). They also have great adult ballet, tap, and hop hop classes that are so much fun! If you have the opportunity to go to DI do it! It was the best decision for our whole family made in dance we have ever made.

She somehow manages to make every lesson feel like a party while also leveling up your skills without you even realizing it. Her energy is contagious, her patience is endless, and her ability to break down complicated moves is pure magic. Thanks to Rosa, we've gone from "counting steps and hoping for the best" to actually feeling confident and having FUN on the dance floor. She pushes you, encourages you, and celebrates every little win right alongside you. If you want to laugh, learn, and become a better dancer all at the same time -- Rosa is your person. We seriously can't recommend her enough!

My fiancé and I were toying with the idea of getting some professional tips for our wedding's first…read moredance. We found Dance Vision online and it was close by our home! They have several locations in the DFW area. Neither of us are dancers so we thought it would be a fun time to try something new! For $50 (total), both my fiancé and I received two 30-minute private dance lessons with an instructor. Based on the song we chose, the Dance Studio came up with the dance. For our first session, our instructor was Tre. He was so much fun! He made the lesson super digestible and easy to follow. We had a lot of fun making mistakes along the way, but ultimately was able to pick up the basics by the end of the 30 min session! For our second session, our instructor was Cristina. She was very nice, and added a little extra spunk to our dance routine to make it look more natural, and exciting. By the end of our second 30 minute lesson, we were able to get down the basics of the routine to practice from home. At the end of each lesson the instructors will sit down with you and recap what you've learned. They are truly passionate about dancing, caring, and patient! Depending on your dance skills/level, the instructors will map out a number of set lessons for you prior to your wedding. This can look very different from person to person/couple to couple. They recommended 20 lessons for us (a couple private classes per week), but we ultimately decided we didn't have that much time between work and other commitments to dedicate for a 1 min dance. Additionally, the twenty ~45 min lessons came out to be ~$2K, and we felt like that money could have been used elsewhere in our lives at the moment. However, in addition to paying for the private classes, your tuition will include group dance lessons that you can attend for free. We had a great time, and appreciated the time and effort each instructor gave us!
