I lived in San Marco so I knew of Dance Trance but a Groupon made me try it out. I am about the least coordinated person around and I eventually caught on. I love how the dance trance classes incorporate current music and that it varies by class so you aren't constantly doing the same thing. I also took an urban ballet class that was super fun and made me wish that I knew more about ballet.

When I…read moremiss a day, I feel like I've missed out on a huge party with all my friends - no other work out can even come close to that feeling. The music and lighting system are better than any dance club in Jax and drive the energy through the roof. No dance experience necessary because the choreography is done in a way that anyone can catch on with practice - but with a new dance every week, we are all challenged to keep improving. Love that there are strength training and dance technique classes like PACE and Jazz too. Full body workout and toning experience. Join this community of fantastic energy and you will never look back!

When my daughter turned 3 we decided to get her into a ballet studio as an intro to dance. For the…read moremost part, we had a good experience at BAC but there are some areas where the studio could improve. Positives: Staff was generally nice and knowledgable. I didn't have any issues, but I would say I would have appreciated some updates on my child in class. A simple "your child is doing well with x, but struggling with y" or "they seem to like this or not like this". The BAC community is fairly supportive at the young kids age. Parents are supportive of each other and there isn't any diva behavior. The location of the studio is pretty good and the recital is held at The Florida Theatre which is awesome. The studio has ample parking and bathrooms were clean. Negatives: The younger kids studio seems to be in a pretty old building. Some studios have more modern setups. This is in general and not specific to Jax. I wouldn't say the studio is more or less expensive than others, but I would say that there are some months with holidays that subtract a class. I feel that if you have less classes in a month you shouldn't have to pay for a full month of classes. I do also like how many other studios provide parents with two tickets to the recital albeit maybe they are not half at the best location. It is hard to support your kids with extra practice or support because where they are in terms of learning technique or learning how to dance to choreography is not communicated proactively to you. I would have loved to know where my daughter needed support to help her. Overall, I would suggest you give BAC a try. My daughter enjoyed her first dance class experience. We were likely to stick with BAC for another year and recital, but we moved away out of state. Yesterday, while at the pool we had music playing and I caught my daughter dancing to the music. She wasn't dancing ballet, but she has a love of music and I like to think that was supported and enhanced at BAC.

I know there are a lot of great reviews, but we did not have a good experience. The instruction is…read moregenerally sound, and leans more towards performance rather than fun. Our biggest complaint was that they didn't respect our preferences. Whenever we expressed concerns about things happening in class that we weren't comfortable with or inappropriate songs being played, those concerns were ignored. As a result, our young daughter got to the point where she couldn't trust the instructor and wanted to leave despite enjoying ballet.

I can honestly say that signing up classes at Bittersweet was one of the best decisions I ever made. Everyone, including the other students, are incredibly supportive and welcoming. I have been coming for over a year and I look forward to every class. As a bonus I'm stronger than I've ever been and feel great. Please keep in mind that the negative reviews posted are primarily by people who are not students at Bittersweet. They spoke with someone on the phone, were late for class and wanted money back, signed contracts without reading them, didn't want to participate in warmup (which is essential for preventing injury and performance) or wanted to be put in advanced classes without meeting the standards set by the instructors for good reason - to assure safety and prevent injury. Students wrote glowing reviews because the studio deserves them.

We moved an hour away from the studio this year, but I refuse to change studios because Hailey and Kyle get to know each child individually and know just how much to challenge my daughter and how to support her. She is very shy but has found a family in her class and teammates, and she truly trusts, not just Hailey and Kyle, but all of her instructors. Since joining their competition team last year, my daughter's skills have improved exponentially, and I can see her confidence has, as well. Hailey and Kyle are both unbelieveably talented, passionate dancers and extremely genuine, kind human beings. I am so proud that my daughter has the privilege of learning from them.

There's no question that moving to The Florida Ballet was the right decision. The attention to proper form, the patience, the barre work---all stellar! Explanations on what your body should be doing, the mechanics of correct position and posture was illuminating. The instructor was hands on, changing incorrect form as it was happening and giving concise and clear tips on how to fix whatever move they were learning/practicing. Instructor was friendly and very professional. Kind and patient with the girls but never relaxing the high standards she obviously expected. We are thrilled with what we witnessed tonight and are confident this studio can make up for the wasted year or two at the last one. Viva ballet!
