This review is based on email and in-person interactions with the owner, phone and in-person…read moreinteractions with two different receptionists, and one trial class. First of all, my impression of the owner, Dyane Elkins IronWing, is a good one. She was quick to answer my email and clearly addressed all of my questions. She gave me a personal tour of the facility and I was impressed with what she has done for her business and the local community. Similar to other reviewers, I did not get the best impression of the receptionists. During my phone interactions and in-person interactions, both receptionists had poor attention to detail (I had to repeat myself a couple of times) and I felt like they were rushing me (off the phone and in person). As for the trial Ballet/Modern class, I would certainly return if it were at a more convenient time. Unfortunately, 8:45-9:45pm on a weeknight is too late for someone who enters the office at 7am; I embarrassed to say that I was yawning throughout the second half of class. As for Carla Armstrong, the instructor, I was extremely impressed with her kindness and ability to help me understand Modern (I have never liked Modern, and she made me more open to continuing her class). However, had I been someone who had never danced before, I would be intimidated by the speed of her ballet instruction. Fortunately for me, my experience dancing in high school was sufficient background. The biographies of the faculty are impressive, so I would imagine that this is a great school for the serious dancer. Unfortunately, I cannot offer the studio a higher rating until they offer a class at a more convenient time so I can better assess them. However, for those interested in dance lessons, you have nothing to lose in taking a trial class for free and making the decision for yourself.

It's a fantastic place for your daughter or son that are serious dancers!!! Their recitals and…read moreperformances are very high quality!! They work the girls/boys hard and train them extremely well!! The entire class.....about 20 girls were more than ready when they started point!! It was amazing the training!!! Great job!! I think for a dancer that isn't very serious and looking for fun......this place is very snobbish! Some families simply can't afford all the dance genre out there! I think there is one negative, hence the 3stars! It's tough because she is the face of the business! The receptionist working the desk is extremely snobby about this dance studio! Well deserved because they know what they're doing BUT for a student that can't afford to keep up with all the classes due to money(it's extremely expensive) or time she is very judgmental! Some of the dancers simply cannot afford their time and money to be there 4 times a week or more!

Unfortunately, they are also trying to build a new location & pass the burden onto the parents. Just received an ugly Xmas time letter from head coach Bosack. Didn't pay the "fundraising fee", so the kids "won't get a present", "will be pulled from competition", and "previous funds will be forfeit". Parking is dreadful. They should consider what "lost revenue" for a year of students withdrawn from your program means to the business. Strong arming tactics may work in the gym, but not with customers.

They have multiple classes going on at one time that creates an unsafe environment for athletes. Their cheer program really was horrible with no true investment by the owners. More than 80% of girls moved to other gyms due to the lack of commitment by the owners. I would strongly recommend avoiding this gym and opt for Premiere or La Fleurs.

Girls today are not the anorexic type looking ballerinas. (By the way my daughter is a not over weight size 3/5). She was coming home crying all the time and she wouldn't tell me why. Now I have found out why and it makes me sad that my daughter had to endure years of verbal abuse and embarrassment in front of everyone there at the dance studio. She finally quit and is now telling her story. Other girls have also quit recently so my daughter can't be the only one. This is shocking and appalling behavior for an adult to treat children this way, plus paying them $400 a month tuition! Beware of this dance studio and don't send your precious daughters there!

We've been bringing our son Logan to swim lessons here since he was just 3 months old, and now at…read more15 months he lights up the moment he sees his instructor, Skyler. That alone tells you everything you need to know. When we first started, Logan was nervous and hesitant around the water, as you'd expect from a baby. Skyler had such a natural, confident way of reading the class and knowing exactly what to do to build his comfort level. She made it fun, she made it feel safe, and she made it something Logan genuinely looks forward to. My wife and I take turns attending with him, and no matter who shows up that day, we always leave feeling like it was time well spent. Watching him go from hesitant to happy and motivated in the water has been one of the coolest things to witness as a parent. Beyond the lessons themselves, the front desk staff deserves just as much recognition. Carson, Isha, and Gaby V. are warm and welcoming every single time we walk through the door. Communication and scheduling have always been smooth and stress-free, which as a parent of a toddler means more than they probably realize. The facility is clean, professional, and has a genuinely family-friendly atmosphere. It feels like a place that actually cares, not just about teaching kids to swim, but about the whole experience for families. We have already recommended this place to other parents, and we will keep doing so without hesitation.
