She's such a phenomenal instructor and dancer he followed her to her own studio after taking her hip hop classes in the past. I've been seeing lots of fun classes advertised including *NSYNC, Britney & BTS Pop-Ups. When I saw they were offering a "Dirty Dancing" workshop I had to see what that was all about and it did not disappoint!

Soooo fun! I first found them on social media (go see their Instagram -- it's fun and shows the…read moretypes of routines you'll learn). The owner didn't grow up dancing but just loves it and learned in her adult age, so the studio is for anyone who simply enjoys having a good time. I come from an intense ballet background, so this was really refreshing. It's adults-only and the classes are held in another dance studio. The classes are filled with adults who haven't danced in ten years or are beginners (they offer both beginner and advanced options). I've sent their classes to a few of my former dance friends who are nervous to get into dance again but this is not a place you have to be intimated! The teachers are nice, the routines are fun, and everyone is very welcoming and accepting. They also offer really fun pop-ups like a musical theater pop-up to one of the Wicked songs (the choreo from the movie!), a Nutcracker ballet pop-up, and more. I just requested a High School Musical one because how fun would that be?! So far I've only done jazz funk but I can't wait to do more.

I signed my daughter up for a trial class back in April and never was told to try to sign up for…read moreanother trial class again in the summer because the spring course was already halfway through. So I called to schedule the trial for this past Monday (20$). We got to the class about 10 minutes early as the employee on the phone stated that they would give me a tour. We got there and the girl at the front desk seemed clueless and really wasn't helpful at answering any questions. Then, two teachers came out at the same time for two different classes, which made it very confusing for the amount of adults and children that were in the waiting area. As we did not get a tour, I was unaware that there was no seating area for the parents to watch their children as my child is just about to turn three and was in the 3 to 4 year-old moving class. So, they all lined up at the entry door and started marching towards the classroom. At that point I realize that parents were not allowed and children began yelling and crying, and my daughter got very nervous. So I then followed them to the room where they closed the door and there was kids left crying on the floor and teachers, grabbing children to carry them back into the room. Me and another mom were not happy about this experience as it was not presented to us before we signed our children up for this class. They need to better prepare the parents that this class the children have to go in alone for 45 minutes without seeing their parents. I then proceeded to go down the hallway to take a peek through the blackout glass to see how my daughter was doing and got told by one of the ladies working there that I needed to leave because the children can see me. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to leave when my daughter is nervous and there are girl crying on the floor for their moms. Plus, she was not prepared that she would be without me for this class. So, 45 min later, the children walked out and we were not told anything about the class. My daughter came out and started crying. How do you expect a three year-old to tell you whether or not they enjoy the class and what they did? So, my husband went up to the front desk and asked questions as to if the teacher had any feedback or what the next steps were and again the front desk was clueless and had nothing to. I feel as though this experience was very unwelcoming and unprofessional, and I will not be going back nor do I recommend children ages 3 to 5 to come here.

It is a family-owned studio and just has a nice vibe. I have had some great teachers in the past, and even had Valeire Rocky (famous dancer) as a teacher for a few years. The dances are always fun. Unfortunately, the costumes are so so so expensive. All in all, it has been a great experience for me, and I am glad I found my passion at a very young age. I also do IYBC (Indianapolis Youth Ballet Company), and it is great! We learn professional level dances, at younger ages. I have been doing pointe at Tippy Toes for three years now, with miss Pamela Arnold every year. I genuinely enjoy everything I get to do here, and practice here has given me experience that not a lot of people can say they have gotten. If you are considering sending your child to Tippy Toes, please do, as your child will have a great time.

I am…read moregrateful that Rob and Polly brought their talents to Noblesville and made the decision to mentor these kids. The high quality education aside, one of the best aspects of this dance studio is their involvement in the community. I love the hometown events that the student dancers have the opportunity to perform at. En Pointe is making a point of not only showcasing the talented students in the community, but they have also started traditions such as An En Pointe Christmas, that is pure holiday entertainment for the whole family. If you or your child are looking for a studio that will offer you serious growth as a dancer and a performer, look no further than En Pointe Indiana Ballet.

That was the most painful 45 minutes I have sat through in theater . Ever. And we are a fan of live theater. At one point I leaned over and told my husband " this looks like the"play" out elementary kids would come up with and we would sit through years ago. Very sad because it was our first play to check out with the Festival and we thought next year we might do a pass for multiple shows. Not sure about that now if they just let anyone sing and ramble through an incoherant mess that no one was clapping or engaged with :(
