Two weeks ago I saw their Spring Production…read more All of the dancers were so focused, professional and talented. You can tell they all receive extensive education. The company also has a summer production and then of course "The Nutcracker" in the winter. If your child lives in the area, I would highly recommend this place. Especially if your child is serious about becoming a dancer.

This was my very first experience with painting and Painting with a Twist made sure that it was…read morememorable and fun! A group of us ladies grabbed wine bottles and snacks and headed out on our venture. The location is in a strip mall (newer) and was very clean and relatively big. We were greeted at the door by Denise, the owner, and checked in. Each person receives a punch card and you get a free class after the 10th class, which is pretty cool. Our instructor was laid back and very informative. I haven't painted since grade school, so that should tell you my experience! She told me that I have great technique so I wuv her. I'm sorry, I forgot her name!! Blame it on the wine. Painting with a Twist has a monthly calendar and you can attend a session after reserving a spot OR you can get at least 8 participants together and schedule a private party and you get to pick the painting that everyone with be doing together. You start with a blank piece of canvas and the instructor walks you through each step, telling you which brush to use and how to mix colors, make things brighter or darker, etc. She also walks around and gives you pointers or praise. The cost is $35 for a 2 hour class or $45 for a 3 hour class. The whole thing was so casual and comfortable. I was really hesitant to go because I do NOT have an artistic bone in my body, but after just a few minutes I felt right at home. They offer classes for kids, too. You just need to go to their website and check out the calendar. I neglected to take a picture of my painting, so I am going to have to come back and post that pic, but I did take a picture off of their site of the painting that we were doing so that people can see the finished product. Of course, my picture did not look this great, but it was fun and I am proud of it anyway!! Oh and I can't forget Odie..he is the owner's German Shepherd and was a doll! He isn't very good at sneaking food, though. I would try to casually "drop" sausage or cheese and he made it so obvious...ugh! Sorry, Denise, I couldn't help it. He was too cute!! All in all, I highly recommend this to anybody! It was such a nice change of pace and I believe I will make sure to do this at least once a month!

I had a great time! I specifically chose the Flower Mound…read morelocation because compared to the one in Denton and the other one in Lewisville, this spot had the best painting in my opinion. There's different painting everyday, so check it out and see what you like! Arrived a few minutes early (as you should to check in) and every one was so friendly! The receptionist and the artist (Lenny( were as welcoming as can be. My group was small, and coincidentally we were all high school and college aged students. Lenny chatted with us and made pleasant small talk as we painted away. Lenny is a highschool art teacher I believe, so he was very encouraging. Even though I though my painting looked like boo boo, he assured me that it was fine. I'm not an artist or painter by anymeans. I have NEVER done a serious painting in my life. But if I can do it, so can you. For $35, I can't complain. Will be back in a couple weeks to paint another! ALSO, its BYOB. Cups are provided.

My daughter had enrolled in a group music class at Frisco School of Music and Performing Arts and…read morehad already begun attending when we were unexpectedly told the class was canceled due to "low enrollment" -- a requirement that was never disclosed directly in communications before enrollment. When I reached out asking for a fair resolution (such as continuing the class, converting to private/semi-private at the same rate, or receiving a refund), owner Chris Duncan responded by removing my daughter from all of her classes, including the ballet class she was also enrolled in and very much enjoyed. There was no mention of any policy violation or behavioral issue--simply removal following my inquiry. This action caused real emotional distress for my daughter. She had formed bonds with classmates and the teacher, was excited for ballet each week, and had even laid out her ballet outfit ahead of class. Having everything abruptly taken away left her confused and upset, repeatedly asking why she couldn't return to class. I reviewed all enrollment paperwork and found no clause allowing cancellation mid-term for low enrollment, nor any provision allowing the removal of a student from unrelated classes for raising concerns. We were hoping for a nurturing, transparent, and supportive learning experience. Instead, the decision by Chris Duncan following our request for resolution has left us deeply disappointed. I urge other parents to get all cancellation and enrollment terms clearly stated in writing before enrolling.

I called a dozen ballet studios before deciding on FSMPA. They had the best rate (5% off yearly…read moremembership paid up front), no costume fee for the recital (what do we do with $100 ballet attire anyway?), and they offer many other activities from music to arts to performing arts. Well, you get what you pay for. No glitz, no glam, no glitter about this place. Inconsistency with instructors (three in a year), curriculum, and award system (tokens for prizes given out with the first instructor but not the other two). We viewed the class on a TV screen but got to go into the studio once every other month to see them dance in person. The studio was always frigid (65 degrees) through the winter and summer time. I understand these girls are working up a sweat but they all came down with cold arms and hands. As for the recital, it was short and sweet. All classes (about seven classes with 10 girls in each) arrived early to get dressed. They all walked on stage and danced together. Then, each class did their own dance. At the end, they all got back on stage and did a final dance. Most other ballet studios have each class doing three individual routines. Depending on how long you want to stick around, I didn't mind this setup. The staff are mostly amicable. Shout out to Ms. Amanda for challenging the girls with difficult moves and also having lots of patience dealing with a bunch of girls with short attention spans.

Yelp Review # 18…read more Music lessons are available for all age groups with timing starting at 30 minutes. The staff are kind and willing to answer any question you may have. I've recently taken violin lessons and when signing up their offer flexibility when scheduling your lessons.

Facility - 4/5 Teacher - 4/5…read more Policy - 1/5 Bad experience we got - 0/5 So we've been a customer for more than 3 years, maybe more. My 2 girls take private piano lessons here. Bad experience My kid's teacher was off, and we were given a sub teacher. This guy called Juan, wasn't patient with my girl and made her cry. Then after she cried, he just sat back and played with his phone. I DID NOT pay $40/ session just to have my kid cry and the teacher playing with cellphone. The owner Melody Ouyang was on vacation. The business manager apologized, but I never heard from the owner about the horrible experience. All they did was, to schedule another makeup class for my kid. But it was a terrible experience for my kid. Policy They have this ridiculous withdrawal policy, which is they charge $50/child when we want to withdraw kids from the school during Sept-July. No other schools has withdrawal charge like this. So on June 2, 2018 I was surprised to get a bill that charged me $164/kid for June tuition and another $189/kid for September tuition. Well, they said there's a $25/kid enrollment fee for 2018-2019 year and that I must pay Sept tuition to hold my kids' spots for 2018-2019. I said I'd like to withdraw my kids due to the bad experience we got (see above) and the business mgr said no refund for the amount we've already paid (September tuition) and when I pressed to move the Sept tuition to cover July, so I don't have to pay for July tuition, she kept saying she needed to get Melody Ouyang's permission (which Ouyang was gone on vacation for a long time, more than 2-3 weeks). I can't pull my kids in June/July, because they require a 30-day notice prior to 1st of each month. Long story short, I don't want Ouyang to come back and deny my request to move September tuition to cover July. If she declines in late June, then we must cram 9 lessons into 3 weeks. In July, they only have 3 weeks of lessons (due to Independence Day week). So before Ouyang comes back from vacation, I requested to just pay July tuition and cram 9 lessons into 5 weeks time. July lessons: 3 lessons plus September lessons 4, plus make up classes. They acted like they were giving me a favor and didn't charge me $50 withdrawal fee/kid (which I was told, that $50 fee is if I pull my kids during the school year). But I finished 2017-2018 year, from September 2017 to July 2018, so actually, there was no reason to charge me $50 withdrawal fee/kid in the first place. I am just appalled and disappointed after having been a loyal customer more than 3 years, to be treated like this. Never heard back from owner (Ouyang) personally. I sent her an email about the horrible experience and never heard back from her. I put my kids into the school because she's a Juilliard grad, but my kids were never once under her tutelage - understand Ouyang is very busy. So the fact that Ouyang is a Juiliard grad, doesn't help my kids' piano skills at all.
