PDC…read moremanages the rare feat of doing two things incredibly well; it is both a very warm, welcoming, friendly, well run and well organized studio and also an incredible teaching facility for dance. Kay and the faculty are very supportive and attentive to all the kids, regardless of their level. They keep a careful eye on who needs what kind of work and suggest classes accordingly. It's remarkable how well they know each kid, and everything they are dealing with both in and out of dance. They also enforce a policy of all the kids being nice to each other. Everyone applauds for everyone else, everyone thanks the teacher at the end of each class, everyone works hard and is supportive of each other. The studio is growing along with my daughters, so that there are always challenging classes to take and interesting things to learn. They have been given wonderful opportunities not just to perform and to compete, but also to do things like dance at local cultural festivals and for seniors in a care facility. The studio is also very respectful of family time and homework time, and many of their dancers are also honors students in school. My daughters have learned not just how to dance, but how to manage their time, how to be responsible, and how to support and nurture others. If you are considering dance classes here -- you will love it. Come join the Pirouette Dance Company family!

Be very careful about ordering tickets over the telephone. They are terrible about sending your…read moretickets out. I ordered tickets in July, and I still do not have tickets. Since they had not sent them out, I thought I might change them. OMG, all they could do is try to make money by charging a fee for each ticket , and then try to charge more for a ticket in a lesser seat. They are worse than the airlines. We need a Pete Buttigieg over them to exact fairness. I know that this is probably a management problem, but it is a sad state when poor management overshadows a cultural gem for our community.

After seeing a Groupon for the school and making sure their schedule fit for my little girl I…read moresigned her up for class. I didn't know what to expect as it was my first experience going to dance school and NOT being the dancer. I must say I was pleasantly surprised. Ms. Rhonda mans the front desk and she is extremely friendly and knowledgable. She immediately made me feel comfortable and made sure I had everything we would need for class. They will order anything you might need and are not pushy about it in the least. My daughter is 2.5 and loves the class. She loves her teacher and each week looks forward to the class. The best part that even at her young age she is actually learning, which as a dancer at one time makes me so happy. Once our Groupon time frame was over, there was no pressure to continue with classes but we have. I am very happy with our experience so far and hopefully will continue to be so for years to come!

"Security is not our responsibility ". This is a quote from the office manager when I said I was…read moreconcerned about the teacher opening the door for the 5 and younger and letting them loose without checking for an adult. OM told me this is not a school. It is not their responsibility to make sure our kids are safe. This after I found a baby sleeping in a running car in the parking lot. Parent was in a back room, with all adults, eating lunch. OM told me they were taking turns checking on him so he was ok, even though car could not be seen from the school door. She then reprimanded ME for saying I find that disgusting, in front of the babies sister. How would sister have felt if police came or if child was abducted or died??? If this is how they protect their own, its no wonder they refuse to protect ours. Chaos and disorganization are overwhelming. No one seems to have any solid grasp on how to run this place. They insist you wear certain colors and styles, but don't know what that is? Set up an event to size and order all outfits... but then no one knew what we needed. Ended up spending more than necessary bc they weren't sure!!! The kicker is my account information is trapped in their system! I tried to delete my account and cc information but it is not an option! What!!? How can they hold my card and personal information hostage. This is terrifying and unacceptable. No where on the site does it have the option to delete my account. Don't trust them. They are money hungry with no concern for your child.

The classes and productions are inclusive of any dancer that is interested in participating, even those who don't take classes at the studio. Dancers of all sizes and shapes are welcome and are all treated in the same respectful way. As the mom of a pre-teenage girl whose body image is still in development, this is a crucial component for me. Secondly, the instructors are personable, approachable, and highly talented, and interested the dancers' development. The instructor who manages the jazz, tap, and musical theater programs provides the choreography for the productions, and the results are a classic, skilled and enthusiastic display of talent. She does not have to rely solely on trendy gimmicks or inappropriate dances to design fantastic pieces, yet the productions and recital dancers stay current with what progressive dancers do. Finally, the owner is flexible, knowledgeable, and professional, and makes sure each dancer is getting individual attention when it is necessary. For any parent looking for a dance school, I would stop by the studio and talk to him. He will let you try a class or two for free to see if your kiddo likes it, and there is so much going on there you are bound to find a place.

It's a busy studio, lots of dancers of all ages coming and going - and they all look very happy and excited to be there, which is a great sign! Already looking forward to the recital in June!
