I sat in the class and watched while my friend, his wife, and their 5 year old daughter…read moreparticipated in this drama class. Most of the kids there were aged from about 3 yrs to 8 years old. It's a small class of about 13 kids. The instructor is very high energy, like she was not only in plays in school, but also a cheerleader. The teacher would set up a story and then show the kids how to use their body language and voices in that stories setting. She kept it very fun, lighthearted, and entertaining for everyone. For example she would say something like; how do you react if you walked in the kitchen and saw the pet dog had made a mess with the trash which is now all over the floor. And they would reply back some like like, "Oh no!" And the teach would have them verbally say it very loud, and use their hands, arms, and body movement to also express that type of emotion from the kids. I think the classes are about 3 times per week, and about 1 hour each session, and they are held normally about 4pm or 5pm. The teacher also has another adult assistant there to help the kids learn the art of acting. The teacher also has the parents get involved and assist their kids was needed. So the whole family has a fun, silly time learning drama. Part of the class the parents are not needed, so most of them go next door to the bar and eat some snacks or get a drink while they're waiting on the class to end. This seems like a very nice class for young kids to take.

Instruction Great / Cash Focus Horrible…read more The actual gymnastics instruction at this school is great. Instructors are serious and drive the students to succeed. Unfortunately, they are also trying to build a new location & pass the burden onto the parents. Just received an ugly Xmas time letter from head coach Bosack. Didn't pay the "fundraising fee", so the kids "won't get a present", "will be pulled from competition", and "previous funds will be forfeit". Parking is dreadful. They should consider what "lost revenue" for a year of students withdrawn from your program means to the business. Strong arming tactics may work in the gym, but not with customers.

They have multiple classes going on at one time that creates an unsafe environment for athletes. Their cheer program really was horrible with no true investment by the owners. More than 80% of girls moved to other gyms due to the lack of commitment by the owners. I would strongly recommend avoiding this gym and opt for Premiere or La Fleurs.

Edit after sleeping on this, but leaving my upset: For 3.5…read morehours at dress rehearsal, my son was not accounted for by the people in charge. When he didn't show up on stage (due to their neglect at communicating), not an eye was batted. He didn't have anyone come to ensure he was safe. He was left in a room with a volunteer, presumably another parent at the school. Just because you have another parent volunteering does not mean they are a safe person. When someone is missing from a place they are supposed to be, the person in charge should feel quite compelled to locate the missing person. Original review: My son worked for 6 months on a dance he will not be performing tomorrow after severe neglect from the school to have tabs on their dancers. He was the only boy in the number, and one of a handful of boys at the school. He was only performing in ONE dance. No one thought to stop and find him for rehearsal when he was missing. He sat in a dressing room for 3.5 hours for literally nothing. They never called his name to come to the stage. When I confronted (admittedly, very heated after hearing of this) the woman in charge, she offered to have him practice then. At 8:30 at night. After my son had already sat for 3.5 hours waiting for them to call him up. After they were already 30 minutes behind schedule. Picture day was just as much of a mess. This is not his first rodeo with a dance company (he is last one stopped dance programs or we would have gladly stayed with them), and it isn't mine either- after having taken classes and performing for 15 years, myself. I would drive to Tampa over going to this dance school again. You would think if this is something you do over and over again, you would have it down by now. Not happy that they robbed my son of this experience, and have set him up for complete failure.

Hands down the best dance studio for my daughter. Mrs. Kylee and Mr. AJ are truly remarkable people…read moreand care so much for their dancers. Every year, they have a recital for the kiddos and they do an exceptional job. It's so much fun to watch these kids go from not knowing a thing about dance, to becoming a dance extraordinaire! Mrs. Kylee and AJ are always very involved with the kids. They have dancing, parades, Halloween trunk or treat, Christmas parties, etc.. I highly recommend this dance studio to anyone looking for a dance company for their little one, or even teenagers. Pricing is reasonable - usually $20 per class, could be more, could be less. Depends on the kids age, and what classes they're taking. Still cannot be beat! My daughter has been going here since she was 4 years old, and she'll soon be 10. We love it there!

From the owner: A K Dance Away is a studio set out to make a difference in the community. We want to give everyone…read morean opportunity to dance.

Our goal is to allow each dancer to experience the elements of dance: confidence, coordination, creativity, grace, musicality, rhythm, self-esteem, technique, and appreciation for music and dance and above all FUN! We work hard to introduce to our students the right amount of self-expression, discipline, proper technique, flexibility, and passion to the art of dance. We take pride in every one of our students believing that every dancer has the ability to achieve success. You are more than a dancer to us, you are family. Come join our dance family!

This was quite different from any school I've dealt with before but because of what they teach it's actually an excellent venue. They have multiple parts to their building, including a small theater where they put on performances. We were here for a couple of hours while the one cofounder talked us through everything the school does. We got a full tour and quite the education on how things will work. We also got to introduce to several of the existing students who came to help answer questions from the potential students and their guests. I can definitely see where pretty much anyone could benefit from going to school here.

I didn't expect it to change my entire thinking on humans, emotions and life in general- and all for the better! I had been acting for years, but always felt a little wobbly in my process and authenticity- Marco and Robb helped me transform my ways and I feel like I can deliver more substantive performances now. Plus, I have started booking roles other than just commercials! The curriculum is well-structured, thoughtful and challenging. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and supportive, offering clear explanations and helpful strategies to approaching roles using the Meisner technique. One of the most valuable aspects of the course of course is meeting the other students and finding a safe inclusive environment. Encouragement to be ourselves, commitment to being present helps even the shyest among us shine. Positive immediate feedback helps us progress while homework and serious study leads to success. This is not a passive education- this is a hands on, what you put in is what you get out type conservatory, In addition to Meisner acting, the school provides useful resources and information like job boards, how to audition, write a resume, headshots, find an agent and more. Marco and Robb and Sam are the most gracious and open people so no question is denied. I am looking forward to continuing my studies with Truthful as the courses are always progressing with changes in the industry. Do yourself a favor and attend an open house at least and feel the welcome. I bet you will meet alumni and current student who show up just to hang out- because Truthful is their home away from home- where we feel our true selves.
