My 9 yr old broke down crying while I drove her home from dance class after experiencing a very humiliating emotional event in class (and also stated that this has been going on for weeks, but she didn't want to say anything). The last straw that caused her to break down was when the instructor spent most of the class screaming at the girls because they couldn't get the choreography correct for the upcoming recital, and her being further humiliated by getting yelled at for raising her hand to ask for clarification at one point during the instructor's "instruction". She didn't cry in class, but instead left to go into the bathroom and cry to avoid further humiliation, After I heard what happened (and had heard similar stories from the other parents who witnessed this), I notified the owner (Kathy) to ensure she understood what happened and make amends to my daughter. Kathy was very dismissive, treated me like an overactive parent with a sensitive child, and even scoffed when I told her what happened in class by laughing and stating "that didn't sound ANYTHING like her instructor, who she had known for 4 years and never had a problem. It took her at least 10 minutes of discussion about why my complaint is valid and needs action on her part before she even apologized for the emotional damage this instructor caused my daughter. My daughter does not want to go back, feels like the instructor doesn't like her, she can't ask questions when she doesn't understand something and she's humiliated for trying. Other parents have seen this same behavior. I can't believe Kathy has "never had a complaint". This studio does not have any interest in your child's emotional well being. Their philosophy seems to be "shut up and dance, and it better be perfect". By the way, my daughter's been in dance for over 5 years at studios across this country, and we have never experienced anything like this. Ridiculous, never coming back. read more

After reading reviews, felt a need to post. SunDance is a great gym if you live in Monument and want easy access to programs. The dance instructors are ok; advanced classes cater to instructors' kids. Turnover among dance instructors has led to inconsistency in the quality of different classes. Many have commented that most of the gymnastics coaches do not have formal gymnastics background. This is true and it really begins to show as the girls move to higher, more competitive levels. SuDance's Facebook page promotes the phrase, "We are family". This is very true for the dancers/gymnasts who actually are family (or work there) but not necessarily true for everyone else. The owners/coaches can have favorite students and parents that can influence other students/parents individual experience(s). This can lead to in-house drama, although SunDance is probably not alone relative to other studios/gyms. The coaches/owners are very proud of how they run things, and in many ways they should be, but are very adverse to suggestion and (God-forbid) criticism. While most of the above seems negative it is not the whole picture. These are our observations, but it should be noted that for 95% of our time at SunDance our kids go, laugh, learn and have fun. read more

Worst experience ever! The setup is completely not conducive to parents watching their little kids in class and the staff is amazing rude and horrible. I had two grown woman call my six year old a liar after one of them told her to get her mom so she could show her new move and the other woman condescendingly told her she wasn't allowed out of the lobby and she didn't want to tell her again. When her mom explained the two woman whispered to each other and then literally called my daughters liar and made her cry. This place is trash. I don't write reviews but this is necessary. I wish I would have read the other reviews so we could have avoided this place. They have one star because I couldn't give them zero stars. read more

We absolutely love Sundance! My daughter has been doing gymnastics at Sundance for the past 4 years. The owners, Steve & Kathy, are awesome and go above and beyond for the kids! They truly care about all the kids at the gym. I love the personal connection they have with the kids and that they really want to get to know the kids. All the coaches that we have encountered have been amazing to work with. Coach Olivia is awesome and does so good with the girls. I have recommended Sundance to several families and will continue in the future! You will not regret sending your child to Sundance. We have experienced other gyms prior to Sundance and they are by far our FAVORITE! read more

GREAT Studio! My kids have gone to this studio for 12 years. The dance teachers are awesome especially Toby and Steve is a great gymnastic teacher. My daughter wouldn't be the dancer she is today without Toby! Just so you know my daughter doesn't dance for the fun it she wants to be a professional dancer when she graduates high school and audition for Juilliard. She has won platinum awards and received judges awards and this wouldn't of been possible without Sundance or should I say Toby Bertch! Steve is also a great gymnastic instructor! All the teachers at Sundance have played some role in helping my daughter getting closer to achieving her dream! read more

We've been going to Sundance for about 7 years now and have been a part of many of their programs. Yes they have had some staffing issues, but I always have felt like they have my children's best interest in mind. Steve and Kathy love the kids and pour their heart and souls into the gym. Every time I am there I see Steve cleaning the gym, or sweeping outside, or taking the trash out. I love the close family feel that you get from them. Steve and Olivia both went to a meet 2 hours away when my daughter was the only one competing in that session from Sundance! We love Sundance! read more

I have been a gymnast at sundance gymnastics for almost ten years now. I love this gym more than anything in the world. Not only have every single one of the coaches made my gymnastics better but they have taught me important life lessons and been there for me through thick and thin. The owners kathy and steve are like second parents to me and I know I can talk to them about absolutely anything. I have become such a better gumnast and an amaizing person because of this gym. I love everyone they are my second family and my life would not be the same without them read more

My daughters have been part of the Sundance family for 3 years now. They absolutely love this studio! We previously had our kids at another gymnastics studio for 5 years prior and I THOUGHT at the time that was a nice place for my kids, however they are less than stellar in comparison to this TOP NOTCH studio!!! I recommend Sundance to anyone I know. You will find quality coaches and staff who truly care for your family. You will not regret choosing Sundance for dance or gymnastics! read more

Amazing studio that offers classes for all ages and skill levels. The Dance and Gymnastics program are great. My kids love Sundance. The owners, coaches and staff are all amazingly personal people. My kids had gone to another gym prior to Sundance for 5 years and Sundance is superior in regards to coaches, cleanliness, and overall for the facility. A+ in my book read more

My daughter has been at Sundance off and on for 14 years, since she was 2. She has taken dance, cheer tumbling and gymnastic:s Eagles and USAG. Steve and Kathy truly have the kids' best interest at heart! Coaches Dan and Susie and Kathy were able to take my daughter's vault from a 7.4 to a 9.6 in one year. It is a place where kids are valued and they truly shine! read more

Look for another gym. Girls usag coach Dan Garcia is a know it all prima Donna that treats both kids and parents poorly. The gym is lacking in staff. Many coaches have left... All the decent ones. If you are on team go elsewhere. If you don't care or are in a low level rec class , sundance is fine. read more

I have a 4 yr old in Ninja's in Training and a 6 yr old in Jr Cheer class. Both of them enjoy the classes so much that they continually ask when their next class is. My kids really look forward to it each week. I highly recommend this place as they are truly awesome and the staff is amazing! read more
