I can't adequately express what a gift Tiny Dancers has been for our family this summer. Our…read moredaughter - who is a love and so, so very shy - has really come out of her shell over the last few weeks of Tiny Dancers virtual ballet classes and camps. Having these classes and camps to look forward to has been a joy for her and for us, and the studio has added a lot of fun to an otherwise housebound summer. I should add that for us, the excitement that the Tiny Dancers instructors create is about so much more than dance (though we LOVE dance). My daughter will be taking kindergarten virtually this fall - a decision that tears us apart, but that is necessary for our family. Through Tiny Dancers, our daughter has become much more comfortable with online learning - and for us, that makes all the difference. Before we started our Tiny Dancers classes, we were apprehensive about "online kindergarten" - now we feel much more certain that no matter how it goes, she'll be much more comfortable with the format than she would have been otherwise.

Its not perfect organization, their limitaion is really in one area - learning about their programs and trying to find the right office contact to ask questions.

They might be good for the older kids but I would not recommend enrolling young kids.

Not a dancer, but I attended the Ordway's Conservatory of Classical Ballet annual Nutcracker show…read moreat Colgan High School and was absolutely blown away by the production value this little studio puts out. The costumes, dances, performances, and little thoughtful touches such as Nutcracker step-and-repeats, themed snacks and merch, free visits with Santa during intermission really made me think that this was a special school. I've been to several other Nutcracker shows in the area and this one truly blows all other dance schools in the area. I love how they allow small children in the crowd to be part of the party dance scene. It was a LONG show but my five year old and her younger cousins were absolutely entranced the entire time. I can only think of the time, preparation, and dedication it took to put on a show of this caliber. If we lived closer, I would one hundred twenty percent enroll my daughter here for classes.

My child attended Ordway for over a year without any issues, and we truly appreciated her teacher…read more Because of that positive experience, we paid to enroll her in the Nutcracker recital. Unfortunately, during a long rehearsal, my 7-year-old came to me very upset after the director yelled in front of the full cast and stated that she could be removed if she didn't learn the steps. Since parents are not allowed in the facility during rehearsals, I cannot confirm the exact wording or whether it was directed specifically at her, but the emotional impact was devastating. Prior to this, we had no interactions with the director. This experience made my daughter feel singled out and ashamed in front of her peers and friends. We emailed the director with an official withdrawal notice and explained our concerns. While the director apologized and offered to apologize to my daughter, we declined. We are raising our children to understand that words have power, and we hold ourselves and others accountable for the impact words can have. Because of that, we expect instructors and educators to maintain the highest professional standards. Fear, threats, public criticism, or shaming have no place in teaching any child, and there is absolutely nothing to be gained or learned from this kind of belittling behavior. The only appropriate response is to remove ourselves from any environment where such conduct is considered acceptable. We allowed our daughter to finish the paid recital because she wanted to participate, but ultimately withdrew both of our children (ages 7 and 4). The environment no longer aligned with the values of encouragement, respect, and emotional safety that we expect. As a parent, this was a very difficult conversation to have with my child. We cannot control other people's attitudes or demeanor, but we can control our environment and actions--and we should never be in a place where a child feels that their best isn't good enough, especially for a paid service. This situation should have been handled professionally, with an email or a quick conversation with the parent, which I would expect from someone with "over 20 years" of experience. In today's world, where apologies are often quick and reactive, we aim to raise children who spread kindness, compassion, and bravery. I am very proud of my daughter for feeling safe enough to speak up to me and for continuing to attend rehearsals even though she was nervous and scared. The recital itself was very nice, and it is a shame that we had to withdraw them--but our child's emotional well-being will always be our priority. For these reasons, I will not recommend this studio to family or friends.

The studio is a shared space, and the instructor played music from a phone or a weak speaker, making it extremely difficult to hear our song. The lesson itself felt disorganized, and my partner and I had to continually redirect the instructor to stay on track. Ultimately, we sought out a different studio because we did not feel we were getting the guidance we needed. We would appreciate a refund for this disappointing experience. Would not recommend -- consider booking elsewhere.

You know how people say things like that for a compliment? Well, I'm saying it in truth, stating facts here; I am not good. However, I don't care and no one else cares either! I have a great time, I never feel embarrassed, I never feel judged, like everyone is there for a good time, radiates positive energy and body positivity. So although I suck, I'm sticking to it, so one day I can climb up that pole and buss it wide open! I have gone fairly consistently at once a week since I started and I have tried four different instructors thus far. I have my favorites, but they are all great and they all have there different styles, techniques and strengths. I always learn something, I always have fun and I always leave feeling like I've had a good workout, not to mention I can always tell I've had a good workout the following day as I'm sore. I'm not gonna lie, the classes aren't cheap and the classes are popular, so you have to sign up for the class you want well in advance (about three weeks). With that said, I think it's worth it and I truly found something I love! Hope to see you on the pole!!!

She was friendly and let us pick the type of music we wanted to hear. I attended for a friend's birthday and I'm hooked. You'll feel sexy and clumsy (unless you already had experience), but most of all you'll learn how strong your body is. The workouts require core and arm strength of course. So if you already workout you'll be good. The studio is so cute inside! There are various instructors for each class and that work at different levels. Our instructor was great at teaching basics and intermediate and she also showed us a few advance tricks that guess what? We were about to pull off! Lol Lots of fun and sweat. I'd totally do this again.
