I have been back stage for many, many performances over the years, and there is so much mutual respect and comraderie. It's beautiful to watch them working together, encouraging each other. We have always felt that the staff of LDT/CSB nailed the balance between letting kids be kids and setting expectations for them to develop as dancers. Our kids feel safe to push themselves and safe to fail here. It's been amazing to watch them grow in their love of dance. As a physician in the community, I have been more than impressed with how they have handled their operations during COVID. They quickly got classes up virtually this spring. When they were able to open this summer, they did so using guidelines that were even more strict than required. I felt totally safe sending my kids to dance there knowing the measures they were taking. Instead of taking the easy road and cancelling their 2020/2021 dance performance season, they went way outside the box and converted to fully filmed performances, including the full Nutcracker. The fact that they are willing to do all this shows how much they love their dancers and the arts and Longmont.

This is not a place I could recommend to other dance families, particularly, of teens. Laura, is a…read morewonderful, warm, kind instructor but unfortunately, she only teachers teens on Friday. The ballet and company instructor was shockingly rude, unkind and controlling. She called out dancers in front of their peers for wearing skin toned tights even though they had been told this was a perfectly acceptable and welcome practice. She forced a very clearly uncomfortable dancer to remove her skirt for ballet class, even though in the past skirts were apparently always ok. It would have been reasonable, if this was a new expectation, to tell the class that in the future, ballet without skirts would be the new expectation. There are a million reasons a young teenaged girl might not be prepared to remove her skirt for class without any warning. She also criticized my daughter's preference elastics on her pointe shoes. My daughter came out of class tearful after being embarrassed in front of her peers at a new school, in a new class. I went in to get clarification on what had taken place. The teacher was extremely defensive, terse and rude. When I asked about my daughter's pointe shoes she basically told me it didn't matter why they chose to wear the elastics. She didn't like it and wanted them to wear ribbons the way SHE wanted. My daughter has been en pointe for 3 years and knows what feels most supportive for her but this teacher did not care, nor did she even ask. We dropped the ballet class after this and also withdrew from company. In the 11 years we've been involved in dance we've rarely come across such a difficult and abrasive instructor. The second reason I would not recommend this school is the exorbitant cost. Most families are very mindful of the cost of dance, particularly with more than one dancer to support. The last reason I would caution others about Centennial is that our family went through a very drastic life change requiring us to possibly relocate to an area of the state that would simply be too far to make the drive. I had paid approx. $1600 dollars up front (a requirement) . We were only there for almost one month. When I learned about our predicament I asked for the tuition we hadn't used (2 months worth) to be refunded to us. They refused. I explained that it was a hardship to lose nearly $1000 for 2 months we didn't dance. No one returned my subsequent messages and we did not ever receive any of that money back. They claim it is their "policy". I have never come across this in 11 years of dance and moving to different states. Life happens! No one plans these things and we certainly didn't. It was upsetting to be treated so callously. There are many schools in the front range area... please do yourself a favor and pass on this one. Shiny brochures and head shots are not an indicator of a high quality program. Our experience has led us to caution other families who want a kind, supportive, inclusive environment, AND one that honors and respects how hard families work to provide their children with a dance education.

My 7 year old Daughter who has been trained in Ballet since 2.5 years old, has taken a variety of classes at O Dance as well as a couple of summer camps. She loves it!!! Personally I was always impressed by the quality of teaching and what the teachers accomplished to pull together in short amounts of time for little productions at Boulder fares or just for family to watch. My Daughter loves it there and she has learned more dance moves and choreography whilst having fun versus at a more disciplined dance school such as Boulder Ballet. The teachers selected to teach at O Dance seem to have the right balance to keep the pupils focused on learning the correct postures and steps, whilst keeping the fun very much part of the lessons. I very much recommend this dance studio to anyone looking for a good dance program for their child. Can't speak of the adult classes as I have not taken one myself. But all thumbs up on the youth programs and camps. Way to go O Dance Studio!!

They have everything from hip-hop and ballet, to movement classes like Nia and Pilates. This is a good thing because movement classes can help a growing dancer by keeping them strong and limber without overtaxing dancing muscles and tendons. Their pricing structure makes a lot of sense, pay for a semester that would follow the local schools schedule. You can also pay monthly and annually, but they don't follow the class schedule. I thought the expression classes would be something great for any child, dressing up as characters and trying to express them through movement. What fun.
