All of the instructors are incredibly talented and super patient, making this a very low-stress way to learn how to dance, or advance existing skills. I am new to New England and really introverted, but I've managed to make so many amazing friends here! Everyone is so nice and helpful! The classes are diverse & reasonably priced, and there are always events and socials to look forward to. Just try out one class, and you'll be hooked!

She responds quick to call and emails. She even had a questoinare to learn more about us, our style and experience. She has made this experiece fun. I have two left feet and she has managed to make them begin to dance. My fiance is a already looking like a pro at the waltz. She helped us recongize where we messed up and back tracked to help correct it. She would count or say which direction to be going. This was so helpeful. We got lots of tips and song ideas to practice. We will be able to wow everyone on our big day.

She did not like ballet or tap but never quite believed me that there were other kinds of dance. Having spent time at another local dance company that has a stringent plan of what classes they think kids should take and not actually taking the child's abilities in mind when recommending what classes the child should take next. Children have different abilities and learning styles and should NEVER be placed in a plan that everyone does it this way. My daughter is a current local pageant title holder and wants to participate in the talent competition at this year's State pageant. We asked for recommendations for a dance teacher and met Miss Betsy who has not only choreographed a dance for us but who's teaching style has helped my daughter learn that dance isn't just one way. Miss Betsy took the time to learn use my daughters current strengths, has given her drive to learn new tricks and is teaching her the need for proper technique. AND SHE WANTS TO DANCE WHEN SHE NEVER WANTED TO BEFORE!!!! Thank you Miss Betsy

The instructors are so patient and fun and creative, making sure that each child's introduction to the world of dance is fun and engaging and supportive. My eldest has now moved on to ballet 1, and the time in creative prepared her to thrive now that more technique is being introduced. Highly recommend this studio and it's instructors.

My daughter competed at this studio for several years, and I don't have one positive thing to say…read moreabout it. The instructor, Jaime Gagner, is in no way capable of running a business. It is made clear who her favorites are, and if you aren't one of them, then you get minimal attention. The horrible treatment of my daughter is what caused her to quit. The choreography is always the same, and at times can be very inappropriate. Jaime is often late to class and is unapologetic. She only makes an effort to have a relationship with the kids she favors. So if your thinking of enrolling your child in a dance class, I hope after reading this that you consider bringing them to one of the many excellent studios in the seacoast area that isn't fusion dance academy.

Gloucester is incredibly lucky to have such a gifted, talented, passionate, and dedicated teacher to call its own. In addition to her extensive dance and movement training, Sarah is a skilled teacher who works with each student on technique, style, and personal somatic issues. I have noticed a huge difference not only in my technique, but also in my body alignment and posture. This is a bonus I didn't expect, as is the studio's magical and glorious space, complete with a heavenly domed ceiling and gorgeous views of Gloucester Harbor. Treat yourself to one or more of the varied classes offered at MAGMA - you and your body will thank you. June W. Rockport

My sister has also been dancing at La Beatz for 5 years and is apart of the competition team. They are very passionate about the DRAMA FREE ZONE, and the instructors are quick to resolve / shut down any negativity. They offer a large number of hip hop classes for kids as young as 3 and up to 18 yrs old, with the occasional adult master classes. They also offer contemporary, Jazz, Acro, Aerial & more for ages 2.5 - 18. They offer Free Trials ( except for aerial ) for those who are unsure which style of dance they are interested in. Joining LA Beatz is more than a membership, it truly does become a family.

When confronted for breaching the agreement we were met with half-truths and innuendoes suggesting the teacher in question was "inappropriate" with the students.

It seems Kathy now remotely "runs" the business from Florida. Whatever once was good is apparently now gone. Avoid.
