I called the dance studio twice (one about six months ago when I was shopping for dance studios in…read morethe area for my daughter and again just this week because I was unhappy with the one I chose only because it was closest to my work). Both times the owner answered and she was extremely personable and answered all of my questions without hesitation or a drop of sarcasm-- nothing! I found out everything I needed to know while I was on the phone with her and that alone was a good experience. She allowed me to do a free drop in for my daughter to try it out and see if it would be a good fit. It turned out to be great, especially after leaving the alternate/other dance studio I had just left and was disappointed with. The studio is cute and nicely updated on the inside. The instructors were happy to be there. My daughter enjoyed herself-- I will be returning. They even offer drinks that you can buy from a fridge in their lobby, which is a plus for me! Oh, and you can watch your child from large screens posted in the lobby. Score! :)

My thoughts on this studio:…read more 1. Don't bother with the dress code. I purchased my dancer specific dancewear after talking to the Registrar, Flora, about the dress code. The majority of dancers are not following the dress code. 2. Don't expect a peaceful studio. The handbook specifically says under the sharing spaces section: keep voices at a low volume to reduce distractions and noise and show each other respect and kindness. This was not enforced. After every class, the dancers coming out of the prior class were extremely noisy for 30-45 minutes outside the studio. It was extremely disrespectful to my dancer's class. After I politely requested for quiet in the studio, my request was ignored and the behavior continued. 3. Don't expect to feel welcome as a new dancer. Priority is given to dancers not new to the studio. I had questions about my dancer, and the school director, Alex, could not be bothered to evaluate my dancer. 4. Be prepared for a weird smell. The smell of the studio made my asthma worsen. I want to mention this because I know how frustrating it can be to enter a space that triggers asthma for those who suffer from it.

They are a non-profit organization that is more interested in teaching dance as an art form than making a buck. I've had at least one of my munchkins going here for the last 4 years (ever since we moved to this area). Between them they've taken Ballet 1, 2, 3, 4, Pre-Pointe, Pointe, Modern Dance, Tap, and Jazz...so I think we've seen quite a variety of classes. We could not be happier with KDT. It has been and continues to be a positive place for our munchkins to learn dance (and made some good friends to boot). If you're in the market for a place for your little ones (or even big ones) to learn about dance I'd definitely suggest checking them out.

Enrolled my child into the Moana camp. She raves about it the first day, but her mood changed…read moreafter the next. She is 3 1/2 so trying to understand if there was a problem was difficult. The staff also didn't really communicate at all, about how children were doing or anything like that. They also didn't introduce themselves...that really bothered me. It was a big let down for me, especially since parents were not allowed in. At the end of the day my child I think had an okay time. We were fortunate that she was visible during the Zoom link but I will echo others, if your kid was not in frame you were basically SOL for the recording because they only emailed one view , not both. Now the other issues I have are safety related. They leave the door unlocked during class and slightly open because it doesn't close all the way. There was NO system in place to make sure people picking up children were authorized too. ZERO verification. In this day in age that really bothered me. So I made sure to wait in the parking lot during snack to make sure my child was safe and was there in the building prior to class ending. Finally, they pulled the masking requirements the last two days of camp and told my child the day before they were allowed to go maskless. I really did not appreciate this. I wanted to speak to my child. Based on this conversation she was under the impression they weren't allowed to mask and trying to explain to her that wasn't accurate was not happening. Staff should respect family choices and not discuss things like that with children too young to comprehend the risk. All in all, we won't be back, but I wouldn't say don't go. There were clearly repeat kids that enjoyed it. I will say, we found a dance school closer to our home and my kid LOVES it, so clearly something at Davy Dance was amiss for her. Without being able to attend the sessions I will never know what that was for her, that made her clearly not enjoy it as much toward the end.

Morton street dance center is a great place to attend dance classes if you are living in or around…read morethe Baltimore city area. They have a variety of choices, but I can only speak to the modern dance class. Both the beginner and advanced dance classes are well taught - starting with warm-up, then some basic across-the-floor steps or technique, and ending with some choreo. The beginner modern class is every Thursday at 7:30PM and advanced is every Thursday at 7:00PM, located in 2 separate studios. It is a little bit difficult to find, but it is located in the back of a huge bldg complex, with plenty of parking available in the lot. The beginner class is perfect for those who either have not danced before or have some modern dance experience from the past, but have not danced for a while. The advanced class is for those who have some dance experience. The teachers are wonderful and really tailor the lessons to each individual. My only gripe is the cost of the classes. $17/class if you want to take one 1.5 hour class. Or you can get the 5 class card or the 10 class card option, which is cheaper (these cards have time limits though). I had bought the 5 class card once, and am taking a break as it is too expensive to maintain.
