She was welcomed with open arms and made to feel just like she has been there all along. She has grown so much and loves what she is doing. The staff is phenomenal! They are helpful and caring. You always are made aware of things well in advance. The instructors are amazing, caring and patient with the children. I would say if you are looking for a family friendly studio for your child to grow and learn, look no farther!!

It's a cute little place , but the business isn't well ran. . I was made to feel uncomfortable by…read morethe owner because my daughters class started 10 - 15 minutes late the first few weeks. Which was concerning because it was only a 45 minute class. . The way she spoke over me was very rude. The teacher miss Kelly was childish and passive aggressive with her comments , after I made the complaint about her classes starting late. I didn't send my daughter back the last few weeks of Tap because I just felt super awkward because of these women .. Overall it is a cute place, we just had a bad experience. . Just don't express your concerns and you will be alright.

Worst experience ever. I took my daughter there to see if…read moreit would be a good fit. I purchased a Living Social voucher to try their studio. We ended up thinking it may be a good fit as it is in my town and my daughter like some of the teachers. We signed a one year contract. We were told my daughter could try out other classes they offered to just go in or stay if it is the next class offered. I tried doing that and let her stay but she called me a short time after the class was to start and said she was waiting with the teacher and they were closed. They changed the schedule around without posting it. When it came time for the recital there were male photographers in the girls changing area (which happened to be the cafeteria) moms were not allowed back there to help their children but there were male photographers there. Shortly after I found out about this I called to let them know I thought that was completely inappropriate as many of the children get completely undressed while changing and especially with the younger children without having their parents their to help. I was told by Kim (co-owner) that is where they take the group photos and they have used these photographers for a few years. I advised that the photographers can set up in a hall like most dance schools do. Parents were made aware that kids need to be dropped off and parents cannot stay we were never made aware that there would be male photographers in the same room as our children who were doing costume changes. That would never sit right with me and I told her unless parents are allowed to help their children get changed and male photographers are not allowed to be in a room full of changing minor children that we wouldn't be back. A short time later NYC PAC debited our bank account for a full year of tuition. They were very nice while you are signing up with them but horribly disrespectful If you have a problem

Denise has a unique ability to inspire and motivate people of all ages. Her passion for dance (and life!) is infectious, and she instilled in me a life-long love of dance.

She is a skilled teacher and choreographer and makes dance fun for all ages!

They teach for the joy of dance and want to instill that same joy in the children they teach. During this pandemic they have gone above and beyond for their students as well as their parents. They offered virtual classes, extra activities, a virtual recital and even offered virtual Zumba & yoga classes for the Moms. Many of their teachers are actually former students who have returned to share their love of dance. They are a family and I was blessed to have my daughter be a part of that family for 14 years. They took a very shy little girl and helped shape her into the outgoing & successful adult she is today. Howell Academy of Dance is more than a dance studio, it is a family.
