I have to say that Diane and Mandy have done a excellent job with our daughter Katie. Not only has she become a wonderful dancer but they also have taught her dedication, loyalty and respect. The hard work they and their husbands put into their students is really appreciated by everyone. Keep it up ladies, would recommend the studio to all, great job, thank you. P.S. The advanced students dance like professionals as do all their students, stick to reviewing sushi restaurants Evelyn S. and try not to be mean to people, they just might have to take care of you someday. read more

Our 3, year old daughter Sophia attends this school and we could not be happier with our choice. At first my daughter was reluctant to dance in front of others but now she absolutely adores it! She mows calls her dance classes one of her happy places and this is a testament to teacher Mandy's patience and kindness with the kids. Also no matter how many questions I have, Ms. Diane is always quick to call me back. She is an awesome business woman and person. I cannot say enough good things about this school. read more

Miss Diane is nice. Her teaching skills are poor. My child was in her class and didn't learn a thing!! We now have her in VEM and she is doing well. Even her "advanced" students aren't very good... I can't see paying that much money for learning nothing... read more

Both my kids have been dancing here for 4 years and love it and the teachers. They do a wonderful recital for everyone to enjoy.

My daughter has been dancing here since August 2011. She did ballet for several years and tried jazz and hip hop before returning to ballet this year. My son is now dancing in the boys only class. I love this school for several reasons. The teachers are sweet and caring. It's non-competitive, which I really like. All kids dance in the recitals (which are super cute) and no one is left out. My daughter told me recently she loves dance because it helps her forget her problems while she dances. My son feels good about himself while he dances. To me, these things alone make this place superb! We love WDA! read more

I first brought my daughter here about 2 years ago. For years I passed this studio and not thought much about it. I was very pregnant and felt so bad I couldn't dance around with my then 3 year old the way I used to. I decided to stop in and see what it was all about. It was the best decision I ever made for her. We didn't just find a school. We found a FAMILY of wonderful women to inspire and take us in. If you are looking for a school where body shaming and bad attitudes are banned then check this place out. This school is the most amazing place..my daughter never feels pressured or put down like you hear some schools doing to their students. I also want to add that my daughter went through a bout of severe adhd where her mind was just racing and she couldn't control herself. No matter what she did..ALL of the teachers were very patient with her. They are always respectful and thoughtful of the children's self esteem but do keep the train on the tracks and help each other learn to respect each other and themselves. I don't know how they do it lol. As far as the comment about them doing something dangerous by not offering enough classes..I can't see this happening. I myself am a former ballerina/figure skater and I can tell you what these teachers are doing is far from dangerous lol. If there are enough students wanting more time, Ms. Diane actually makes extra classes for them. I have seen that if someone isn't happy with something in this school they usually never even gave it a chance and were there a week or so. Or have unrealistic expectations for their children. Most of the other parents are amazing and offer to do all kinds of things to help me out with my son when I have to bring him. But once in awhile you do get one of "those" types. I mean Ms. Diane loves the kids so much she puts their drawings on the walls and will buy their Girl Scout cookies just to support their self esteems. The teachers are ALWAYS staying late to talk to all the parents and make sure the kids are safe on their way out. Trust me these women care. Bottom line if you want to find a studio to grow with and be a part of a wonderful community of parents this is the place to go. They even keep toy bins and books for the little brothers/sisters who are too little for class. read more

Windsor Dance Academy is an excellent institution with very kind and knowledgeable instructors. Diane focuses on proper technique but also makes the lessons fun for both the younger and older dancers. Her classes are joyful and build self esteem. At the end of the year each class learns a specific dance which they will perform at a very large and exciting recital! She encourages her older students to add ideas into the recital dances, which sparks creativity and an interest in choreography for the dancers. The studio is clean and tidy, with a nice waiting room for parents if you want to watch your little ones learn and have fun! I would absolutely recommend Windsor Dance Academy to any parent or student, and it will always hold a special place in my heart! read more

I have been dancing at Windsor Dance Academy for 9 years now and I've always loved it! I'm certainly not a professional dancer, but Diane has passed on her great passion for dance to me and many others since I've been there. This is the best place I've seen for children to dance. No competition between dancers and they kids have SO much fun while learning the fundamentals of dance! I will definitely take my kids here when I have some! As for the favoritism comment...I'm not sure what that's about. I've danced at lots of other studios too, and WDA is the one that shows the least amount of favoritism in my opinion...sounds like some hurt feelings to me. read more

I see people are now being asked again to give this place a higher rating. It is not a matter of professional dancing, it is about injury risk. No ballet teacher would let pointe students go a whole week with just one one hour class. You can easily google it and see what is said on reputable websites about dance and the amount of time that should go into it, even if dance won't be a career for you. read more

First of all I'd like to start by saying that I've been a dancing for 5 seasons with the Windsor Dance Academy. I only come once a week and that's sufficient for me to learn the correct ballet techniques and practice combinations for different dances. I'm not looking to become a professional dancer and that's one of the reasons I chose this school. The environment is less strict but you're still getting all the information you need to know. Ms.Diane is extremely knowledgeable of not only ballet but also how you need to move your body to execute the moves and how to do them without injuring yourself. Windsor Dance Academy is a fun and enjoyable place to dance because there's no pressure to be 100% perfect all the time. It's a place to do what you love and better your dance skills in a relaxed environment which is great for all ages. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for ballet classes from an excellent and well seasoned instructor. read more

This school might not turn out very many professional dancers, but the students learn tons, feel great about themselves and their skills, have a blast and love their teacher. The recitals are the greatest! From the tiniest tot to the adult class dancers, everyone has a fine time and enjoys the music, the story and the costumes. And the dancers! Diane is a beautiful dancer and everyone learns great form and technique in her classes. read more

My daughter has attended since kindergarten (4 years). We LOVE Windsor Dance Academy! The instruction is encouraging, thorough, and kind. We love the positive environment for the child and parents. I highly recommend this school! read more
