I joined Arthur Murray's South Charlotte studio during the summer before my senior year of college…read more I was simply looking for an opportunity to learn some basic social dances and become comfortable in club/formal/cruise settings. I'm very athletic and competitive, but I'd never danced in my life and felt enormous fear in any dance setting. Six months later now, I've fallen in love with dancing, with the beauty of Latin, smooth, and swing music, and my new family at Arthur Murray. South Charlotte's instructors are very talented, patient, and deeply passionate about social dance and enabling each pupil to meet their goals. Lesson plans are perfectly situated to teach new dances and dance combinations while encouraging etiquette and confidence to dance in a social or club setting. Over six months, I've become very comfortable with Rumba, Club Swing, Salsa, and Merengue. I've gained a limited proficiency of FoxTrot, Waltz, Nightclub Two-Step, Triple-Step, and several others. Under their training and mentorship, I've learned to analyze music and discern rhythm. I'm confident being in the center of the dance floor, and dancing in any setting! All this to say that I am a product of the studio and setting I've been taught in. My hugest thanks to Cassandra, Mrs. D, Miss Ana, and Chase! They've changed my life and they have an indisputably monopoly on my friendship and business moving forward!

They treat the classes as if the children are on a competitive team, when my seven year olds just love to dance and want to enjoy the process of learning. We were recently kicked out of our class because of a family emergency that made it impossible to attend the recital at the end of the year so now my children who love going can no longer attend classes through the end of the year. The lack of understanding, flexibility and quite frankly care for the CHILDREN is astounding. I have more examples over the years - this is just the most recent.

I realize that most people have enough common sense to do their own research and not believe…read morebaseless bad reviews. Nevertheless please be sure to read this one in response to the completely dishonest one posted before it. I have been a CDC VIP parent for 5 years and on staff for 2 years. Not only is this disheartening to read, it's also simply untrue. It's fine for a family to share their experience but it is absolutely unacceptable to lie about it to gain sympathy and fire people up. It's not ok to twist the truth and bash the studio when this family did not properly communicate their need. Each summer before auditions our competition parents have a meeting with the studio owner and director and are given an information packet with all rules and guidelines and a full year calendar from August of that year through August of the following year. We know that we are committing to the team for the full season when we make the decision to allow our students to audition. Before allowing a child to audition, parents are to read through the information, rules, dates etc and then we have to sign that we read it and agree to adhere to the rules. Scheduling updates which include hours needed to rehearse and prepare are given throughout the season with plenty of notice. The rehearsal was absolutely not planned at the last minute. CDC is proud to be family oriented and while commitments are expected, the studio always schedules around commitments if given proper notice. Our director always works with people who have schedule conflicts as long as it's prior to schedules being released. The studio has always worked around everyone's schedule to make sure each family is able to be accommodated. This parent did not contact the studio or the director about this wedding until after the rehearsal schedule was released. When schedules are released they come with a forewarning about rehearsals being mandatory and it is communicated very clearly that no exceptions will be made at that point. Multiple parents contacted the studio well ahead of the same schedule being released and as a result of following the rules, the schedule was adjusted to allow those students to participate in whatever they needed to do. A wedding is not planned in a day. There should have been plenty of time to notify the studio and had the studio been notified before the schedule was released there would have been no problem at all and they wouldn't have had to choose. The parent had a conversation with the director after the schedule was released. During the conversation, they agreed that they failed to contact the studio when they should have and that they would " figure it out." The director made it clear to this parent that the student would have to be in rehearsal to be in the routines at recital and nationals. So whichever rehearsals they were in, they would have been able to participate in those dances at recital and nationals. The student was at rehearsal earlier in the day and then left with their parent without telling anyone they were leaving. The student missed about 3 hours of rehearsal. I know this because my children were at those same rehearsals that this student missed. The student was allowed to participate in our annual recital and our nationals competition for any of the routines that they were at rehearsal for. The parent decided to break the commitment they made and withdraw the student from the program. I must say that I was absolutely shocked, saddened, and genuinely grieved when this parent decided to send some of the most vicious, hateful,and dishonest emails to the studio that I've ever seen in my life and I had always assumed that this parent was one of integrity. The bottom line is that this never had to happen. The parent should have just communicated their conflict to the studio in a timely manner and I can say with all certainty that the schedule would have been adjusted to allow the student to be in the wedding. This student was and still is very much loved and cared for. We would have loved to have them participate in the recital and nationals. It breaks my heart that this family is now bashing our studio when this all could have been prevented with proper communication in advance so that the schedule could have been set up to work around this event. It's really that simple.

The commitment from the teachers is unmatched. The studio was so commited to creating a positive environment that they formally adopted a value statement with emphasis on support, commitment, and respect. The relationships created are genuine and transcend beyond the studio. Families are invested in each other and support one another without reservation. Students are encouraged to be the best they can be. Next time you are at a competition, you will know if WE'RE there by all the yelling and cheering from our #MAJOR family. If you are serious about your child developing their love of dance, self-discipline, respect, self-esteem and being a part of a team- then this is the spot for you. If you are wanting to live vicariously through your child, engage in catty behavior or have a negative attitude- then you should look for another studio.

When I pulled into the warehouse parking lot for Bloom, I didn't know what to expect, but from the moment I walked through the door, I felt so welcome. I had previously emailed the studio to determine what level of class I should attend as I was visiting from out of town, and they clearly shared where I would fit with my experience. I felt like a kid in a candy shop as I considered all the classes I could take while in town. I really appreciated how the instructors wanted to see their students think as well as providing some theory points. If you're ever in Charlotte, definitely visit Bloom. In 6 weeks of traveling and visiting aerial studios, Bloom truly stands out as friendly, welcoming, creative, and solid in their aerial instruction (probably my favorite of the 13 studios I visited).
