Just open the door.. gorgeous studio, a dance floor you just want to dance on, smiling students and friendly instructors. Maks was exactly what I was searching for MORE!

I come from the other side of the tracks so it was intimidating for sure. Getting there is the worst part. We were greeted by Evie, an expert in all respects, including teacher & professionalism.

I don't know where to start , my daughter had been on a team at a dance company where was feeling…read moreunhappy at that studio for a while,.....she wanted to dance where she would not be just a number in a very overcrowded environment, she wasn't getting trained to her full potential even with lots of classes, and the owner was never seen or heard. Even though daughter liked few teachers, she felt bored most of the time and they teach the dance, not so much skill of that dance, she didn't want to just memorize it ..she wanted to learn proper skills and to be good dancer, I just saw my child not learning any great skills she wanted so she could grow ...And..this summer we decided not to go back. But where to go? Not that many choices of good dance companies around here. So as I started researching to see what few of these dance places around our area had to offer, I was getting more discouraged...too many kids, too few, place to tiny, I felt like goldilocks...LOL, We tried one studio for less than 2 weeks, they changed schedules twice in short time, no place to sit...tiny, they hired high school teens as teachers, oh and worst ..when I saw one of the costumes considered for competition, and other issues that I noticed from start...I knew we had to run...to keep on looking. Then I heard about the Art and Soul. I found out some older amazing dancers we know left old studio and came here also, that got my attention.. so I had to see for my self.. why I chose it... A long phone conversation with a very pleasant ,unbelievably lively, friendly, sounding extremely expert in the dance business and a dancer herself ,and patient (with me,I ask a million questions)...LOL.. woman, whom I found out was the owner, I asked if we can come by to see it and,she was happy to meet. when I got there in an hour I was surprised see her pull up too. I thought she was at the studio at the time, she could have just said ...hey I m not here now but I can meet you tomorrow...oh no not this lady... Alana Turner on day off drove out just to meet my dance loving child..i was in shock, she is so energetic, she has bigger than life personality and is very warm but very firm and professional. The way she runs her studio was evident immediately very hands on, not like I ever saw before, after I was there second time and third when people with children were coming in and classes in session, she watches all is going on in her studio,my mouth dropped when I saw her offering animal crackers to little boys, brothers of a girl who was trying out, to keep them happy while she spoke to family but not in rushed ...fake way we are used to ...she really wanted to please the kids. i saw she really loves teaching dance and is amazing at dancing too..as you watch her in there with them that's all you can say is wow, it was something to see, and the energy she has, and she also hires grown ups teachers not teens. ...the plaza is safe to walk around while waiting, nail salon two doors down ...my favorite thing to do twice a month while she is at dance ....it is so clean and all new ...beautiful modern tiled entry and spacious lobby/waiting area ,with couch and lots of chairs .... tv for little ones with cable...and tv screens on each wall for both rooms to watch your kids dance practice without having to press your face against the door to get a peak of your precious child practicing dancing ...how awful that I had to do that all these years, I remembered leaving marks with my face on the little glass window of the door at the other place she danced , also the place before that when she was little...how thoughtful I thought... and best part , for especially a bit older girls who dance a whole lotta hours which.... mine is getting there already....she had designed it so there's lots of study areas in the back for dancers to study with so many outlets and seating, a microwave on counter top just for dancers to heat up snacks, and my daughter also loved the two dressing rooms with actual doors not a curtain.....lol , no more changing in a bathroom ...or dying to potty and having to hold it in while late to go back to class , because someone is changing in there, my daughter has hated that the most , and now her dream I think came true she is a in real professional dance studio, with real beautiful professionally installed wood floating dancing floors that are installed with the dancers feet in mind to keep them from getting injured., not just any cheap flooring like I have seen many times before... my daughter said..mom, I didn't know tap could be so great and fun...she is so energized by this studio and teachers, and I never saw her working this hard even with double the hours at other place. she is learning to dance now...she is happy now and I m too. I finally found this amazing "Gem" of a dance studio hiding out at I 75 and University parkway.... dream come true for my girl.. right about 3 minutes from UTC mall.

We had a disastrous experience with Art and Soul Dance over the last year…read more Coming from a great studio to Art and Soul, we had the following observations. The owners are not open to feedback. If you provide feedback, your child is likely to be cut from dances or have their role limited. The owners of this studio focus more on emotionally traumatizing their dancers than teaching them skills. It was not uncommon for dances to change at the last second before competitions leading dancers to be unsure and nervous going onstage. Calling out dancers in front of their peers to do better was also not uncommon. The owners will tell you whatever you want to hear to sign up including what classes they offer. This will change once the season starts. Teacher turnover is high here. The one teacher we felt was strong, the ballet teacher, has moved on. We have had to ask the studio multiple times for pins earned and judge feedback from competitions. They refused to provide them. We question the accounting at this studio. All payments are made out personally to the owner. This seems odd for a business and we were never quite sure of the accounting. If you are looking for a studio that builds up your child's confidence and love of dance, this is not it. If you are looking for a studio where the owners are approachable and open to feedback, this is not it. If you are looking for a studio that is chaotic, mismanaged and where your child comes home questioning if they want to dance anymore, this is probably the studio for you. I would caution anyone looking to put their child in dance at Art and Soul to do lots of research and look past the positive reviews that will be fabricated to bury this one.
