*Updating this review to mention that if I had any ounce of thought to continue with this studio,…read moreit has gone out the window after reading the owner's rude and condescending reply to my review. I reached out via email last night explaining the issue and never received a response, I suppose because they're more concerned with their public image on Yelp than helping families. After reading this response, I'm pretty disgusted with the management of this studio. I am beyond upset and disappointed in the studio after what happened to my daughter during class last night. She loved her class last year when her instructor was Nicole, but this year she got Maggie. I've watched the class as Maggie pays zero attention to my daughter and instead focuses on the other girls who are doing really well. She didn't help my daughter as she struggled to learn the dance, she would just yell at her in front of the other girls and simply tell her to keep up. Last night, My daughter got frustrated during class tonight because she felt like she wasn't keeping up with the rest of the girls, so she cried and looked very defeated when I picked her up. After class, Maggie asked to speak with me privately in which she made it very clear that she doesn't want my daughter to return to her class. She said that the other girls are having fun and working hard while my daughter is always crying. She said she only wants dancers who will have fun and work hard. I'd also like to note that I've watched Maggie's interactions with my daughter while in class and she visibly ignores her and doesn't engage with her like she does the other girls. We had a great season last year when Eliana was in Nicole's jazz class, but unfortunately this year has been very disappointing. I'm incredibly upset with Maggie and her comments to me tonight, so we don't plan on returning. I would feel too uncomfortable sending my daughter back after we were indirectly told it'd be best for the class if she doesn't return. Unfortunately, I've already paid for the recital, the costume, and the tuition for March, so I guess I'll have to eat those costs.

Their programs include ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, and many other dance styles, creating opportunities for dancers of all ages and experience levels. During my visit, I attended a Zumba class taught by a new instructor who had invited me to provide a little moral support for her first class. She was expecting around 10 participants, but the turnout far exceeded expectations. The energy in the room was contagious, and the class was upbeat, engaging, and a lot of fun. She did an excellent job keeping everyone motivated, enthusiastic, and moving from start to finish. In addition to its dance instruction, Art Beat Dance Center is affiliated with the Art Beat Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding access to dance through adaptive dance programs, wellness initiatives, and community-centered performances. Their mission is to make dance inclusive and accessible for people of all ages and abilities. Good first visit to Art Beat Dance Center...

Our experience with Arts Avenue was frustrating and unprofessional…read more We paid recital and costume fees months in advance, with the understanding that key details would be provided later in the season. Those details--rehearsal schedules, dates, and location--were never communicated. When we asked for clarification, we were told the studio was still working through the details, which is unacceptable given that families had already paid. To make matters worse, the studio attempted to attribute the confusion to my child rather than taking accountability for their lack of communication. It also became clear that the studio prioritizes its competition team, while other students receive significantly less organization and preparation--despite paying for recital participation and costumes. We expected a much higher level of professionalism and transparency.

There were many cancelled…read moreclasses, teachers changed, there was a lack of communication with parents, the coaching my child received was minimal. I emailed at least five times with concerns and never got a response. The production itself was also really disappointing, and I felt it made my child hesitant to be involved in productions moving forward. They preformed scenes they NEVER rehearsed. What should have been a 50 min show was 1.5 hours, largely because the teacher was feeding them all their lines. My child has been in four different productions, some for much younger kids. This production was by far the least developed and "roughest" to get through. These concerns seem to be tied to larger business issues. Although I know some folks who have had god experience with the dance side of things, the theater program is underserved and it was incredibly frustrating.

I do wish the recital procedure was better. We had quite the ordeal. The information could easily be laid out in one email or one flyer, sent with attachments for allotted tickets, rosters of kids in individual classes and times of shows and simple bullet instructions for the day of the performance, but it's pretty jumbled in our opinions--lots of papers, lots of emails, disorganized rosters that can entirely mislead you. It just seems more chaotic than it needs to be for a simple recital for children. But, as I said, over all, my kids had a nice time. We are sorry that we can't stay for more classes.
