While this school offers a strong dance program and talented instructors, parents should be aware…read moreof certain challenges with the way the school is managed. Recently, I had an unavoidable conflict -- my family had planned a surprise retirement party for me, a once-in-a-lifetime event. It happened to fall on the same day as a mandatory rehearsal. I reached out to the school immediately, explained the situation, and asked if an exception could be made so my daughter could attend this important family milestone. Unfortunately, the owner was inflexible, showed no empathy, and made it clear that if my daughter missed rehearsal, she would not be allowed to perform. Over the course of the season, I spent more than $700 on tickets, costumes, and shoes. Spending the money was not the issue -- I understand that dance can be costly -- but when there is a total lack of flexibility and understanding, it leaves a sour taste. In my opinion, family should always come first. Because of this experience, my daughter will no longer be attending this dance school. I will be looking for a place where family is valued and people are treated with respect and professionalism. Communication is another area that could be improved. The school relies solely on email for important updates -- no reminders are sent home with students, no text alerts, and no phone calls. For busy, working parents who are not constantly checking email, this can easily lead to missed information. A modern, multi-channel reminder system would make a big difference. If you're looking for a rigorous, performance-focused program, this may be a good fit. But if you value flexibility, empathy, and consistent, accessible communication, you may want to consider these factors before enrolling.

Poor management! The owner claims my cancellation request was not recieved so they can keep the…read moremoney that they illegally deducted from my account. I did bring this issue to the owner and she refused to refund a months worth of classes for both of my kids. I did NOT authorize auto-pay and I submitted a message in the parent portal to cancel my children's membership 5 business days prior to May 1st. Unethical business practices are a no-no in my book. My kids are never going back! I have no reason to lie I have had a decent experience up until this point. However, I must warn others about unethical business practices.

Last year I was a back stage mom but this year I decided to sit in the audience and watch, my daughter had two numbers. after the first one I was able to go and sit with her and wait for the second number. Ms. Geena is so nice and helpful and great with the kids. I can't say enough about this school the classes are by far more professional than any other school we have been to. Mrs. Lisa is also amazing always very attentive and very warm, the numbers that she choreographed were amazing. I have recommended this school to others at my daughter's school and we will definitely be going back this fall and my daughter can't wait to start her new classes with ms.

I love all the staff they are all very friendly and willing to help you with anything that you may need. They are all educated and trained in what they teach and i feel that to be very important. Its great that they offer a variety of classes from yoga to bootcamp and everything in between. I myself do the kickboxing and bootcamp 4 days a week with an occasionaly yoga class when i have time and i have seen amazing results. Leon is a great trainer and he pushes you to do your best because he wants results!! Ambria's Zogalaties class makes u sweat as well and is great for toning. I have referred many people here because i truly believe its an amazing place to work out and to make friends. its only 10 dollars a class or 100 for the month so you really cant go wrong, i would recommend this place to everyone!!

I informed them that the person doing the 5 hour class was over an hour late and said they were unprofessional & Chris decided to be rude and sarcastic with me via text and then called to go off on me via phone. Also, they didn't allow us to schedule the times for our classes; they scheduled them for us and even changed the time at their convenience. Now, they are giving me issues rescheduling my road test saying I have to pay an additional $60, because I didn't have my learners permit for the 1st road test and missed it. The instructor Jose was cool and kind, but his constant criticism made my nerves really bad while driving. It wasn't a good learning/driving experience for me. I just want my 5 hour certificate and nothing else to do with them!
