The cheerleaders aren't there anymore, they moved to another location. But really the cheerleaders were sweet, talented, hardworking girls and their mothers were supportive parents just as any dance parents. They wear similar attire to dancers for practice. Maybe that other lady should sign her kids up for piano or art or something.

I have had four daughters attend this studio for a decade…read more The staff are organized, warm, welcoming, and helpful. Every teacher we have had for four years you can tell has been hand chosen by the owner, the teachers are the cream of the crop. They have the students work hard, learn important life lessons (working as a team, being respectful, self confidence, taking criticism well), pay very close attention to technique, and are extremely creative. The most beautiful thing about this studio is watching how the students who go there blossom. It is amazing to watch the kids from the preschool ages into the teenage ages. Where they become such talented dancers, but young adults that are wonderful role models (in their manner, dance, behavior, etc.) to the younger ones. The recital has always been a magical time for our family. It is very organized, children are kept safe, it is done in a professional venue, and my kids ADORE being a part of it. Know that you have to be organized yourself as a parent for your child do have just as a magical time as mine do. We love UDA!! You will make such a wonderful decision by having your child become a part of this UDA family.

This is a family-oriented, performance-only school. I've been dancing here for 3 years, and I…read morecouldn't be happier with Rinceoiri! There's a wide range of ages (preK-grandparents) and experience levels. Most everyone is friendly and willing to help, and the teachers are typically pretty easy-going, but good at pinpointing trouble spots and giving practical exercises and drills (often the drills are *very* effective, and you really know it the next day. RDS is also known as "Ben's Kickbutt Gym"). There is a focus on personal improvement (polishing technique, learning and perfecting new steps and dances), but most of the dances we do are heavily team-based. No solo pieces. There's a mix of very traditional (St. Patrick's Day) and more contemporary (new choreography set to Lord of the Dance music) (plus the odd German techno song for drills). One difference from other schools: they'll tell you how to dance for the judges. RDS works on dancing for the audience. Costumes are simple and relatively inexpensive, and you only need one. (Plus, no wigs!) Hardshoes and ghillies (for girls) required once you graduate from beginner. There are many degrees of skill even within the performance group. The people who know a dance better happily help out the people who are just learning it, and I've always felt totally comfortable asking for help from anybody. The teachers also choreograph certain dances so that sections are designed for different skill levels. If you're looking for rigorous practice and critical instructors who drive you to become a champion, this is the wrong school for you. If you're looking for a fun atmosphere with people who love dance and traditional Irish culture, and like to perform in the community, I highly recommend RDS.

I was told they didn't offer that until age 8, only to find out when we were there that they DO have a hip hop class for that age group, but it's for boys only. When I walked in, the owner was not very friendly. The entire establishment was completely unorganized. I called the owner shortly after leaving asking about the hip hop class, not understanding why the boys can do ballet, tap and jazz, but why my daughter couldn't join the hip hop class. I understand it is her establishment and she can do what she pleases with it. But I, personally found it very sexist. She was rude, unprofessional and dismissive. Needless to say my daughter will not be attending the dance classes.
