If I could give this sham of a dance academy zero stars I would. I enrolled my 2-year-old daughter…read morein their Pre-K Dance class for 2 and 3 year olds. It was advertised as exploring creative movement. We get there and the older teacher was just immediately frustrated that the TODDLERS weren't listening. The class today was the last straw. My 2 year old was doing fine but when it came to mat time, she didn't like her legs being stretched to touch her head so she walked away from the mat with another child and sat on the wall. The teacher told her that she would need to leave if she didn't listen so my child stood up and walked towards me at the window that I was directly behind. The old teacher went up to her and the other little girl and in front of a room full of classmates, parents, and other children told the 2 babies that they were "done" and kicked them out of class. I called after and the old teacher said this was a structured class where they are teaching the girls dance. She said she was "removing the distraction." Meanwhile 3 other little girls were just laying on the mat not doing what they were supposed to do. A structured class for 2 year old toddlers, whatever that possibly means. She embarrassed those children who just didn't feel comfortable getting stretched out by strangers. They are also refusing to refund me the money for the remaining classes that of course my daughter will not be attending. What a joke of an establishment.

Do NOT recommend! Tried this studio per the recommendation of a friend. Sherry (manager)was rude,…read moreunorganized, did not return messages, and was in no way customer oriented. The instructor was fabulous however, I felt a lot of time was spent finding music at the beginning of each class. I felt this should have been done ahead of time. Some classes were spent stretching the entire time. My girls did really enjoy her instruction. My girls auditioned and made parts in the school musical and as a result were forced to miss classes for a few weeks for mandatory practice. I went in to discuss this matter with Sherry and apologized for the inconvenience. I thought she would be excited and understanding as the girls made major dance/ singing roles in the play. An employee from Innovations called our school to check to see if this was indeed true and told the musical instructor that she was upset. The musical instructor was stunned that they would call the school! This was communicated to my husband who is also a teacher at the school. I felt like this was absolutely NOT appropriate. I was still paying for missed classes and this was merely a beginner class (girls were forced to enroll in a beginner class since it was their first class at the studio). We had attended Greater Dance of York in conjunction with Skyline Gymnastics and Gymnastics of York. Our family had wonderful experiences for years at these various studios and we were just looking for something less intensive as my girls play several club sports. Go to Greater Dance of York if you are looking for a great dance experience. The management was wonderful, all instructors worked well with the kids, and the facility looks like a dance studio. Innovations literally looks like it could fall down at any given moment. As a manager myself, I would suggest that Sherry should not be dealing with customers and Karen should be the face of the studio. Everyone seems to be intimidated by Sherry. Good luck in your decision!

Several years ago when my then preschool dancer was begging for dance lessons, we visited several…read morestudios. At every studio we visited she couldn't wait to get out of there, and I saw teachers doing things that worried me. When we visited Encore the atmosphere there was so different from the other studios we had visited, and I practically had to drag my dancer out of there. We haven't looked back since. The teachers use positive terminology to teach dance steps without damaging a dancer's body image. My dancer is now a member of the Encore Dance Performance Company entertaining residents of local retirement communities and performing at events and benefit shows. My dancer continues to be pushed to challenge their dancing by teachers who are supportive.

I am still a beginner and I have found that many ballet schools do not take adult ballet very seriously, but Miss Nadine does. Combinations are designed to develop and solidify good technique. Her corrections were frequent, helpful, and relevant to each dancer's level. The studio was bright and airy, the music was beautiful, and I'm certain there were more than a few current or former pros in the class. My classmates were welcoming and by far the friendliest I've experienced while traveling. What a wonderful experience -- I'm only sorry that I didn't find this studio sooner for my biannual visits to Lancaster.

It normally isn't stellar in these types of venues. I was pleasantly surprised. Theirs was great! Several choices of main courses and it tasted amazing! My servers, Lincoln and Abigail were attentive and prompt. I did the VIP experience. I highly recommend it. They build in some magical moments to make the night special for you. The preshow entertainment was outstanding. The young man doing walk around close up magic in the crowd astounded many, including me! The cast works very hard to create an immersive magical atmosphere from the moment you walk in and they truly deliver just that. The magic show was AMAZING. Professional lighting and staging combined with moving music and mind-blowing full-scale illusions you would expect to see in a Las Vegas show. The aerialists and dancers added another level of awe to the performance, too. There were built in moments where the audience laughed out loud and gasped in amazement and it's all family friendly. Brett Myers is not only an outstanding magician, but also carries a stage presence of a true seasoned professional. The magic will blow you away but the theatrical presentation of the effects make it extremely memorable. Some magic shows just throw one disjointed effect after another but this show had a magical theme with moments that drew you into a story. It made the evening that much more wonderful. A+! If you're in the Lancaster area, make this show a priority. You won't be disappointed! It's the place to be astounded and make a memory you won't soon forget. I am happy to recommend it in the highest possible terms.

My kids nearly fell off their chairs when I got one of the questions correct. Our prize? A soda (for me) and a giant bag of popcorn (that I didn't get one bite of!). The performers were energetic, singing the greatest hits from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s. There were bubbles, a little magic, aerials and so many great moments.

The cast was absolutely phenomenal, and every scene brought the story of Joshua to life in such an inspiring way. One of the things I appreciated most was the altar call at the end. If you needed prayer, wanted someone to talk to, or felt led to give your life to Christ, the Sight & Sound staff was there with open hearts and open arms. I think that's such a beautiful ministry and a powerful reminder that it's about more than just a performance--it's about sharing the hope of Jesus. I also want to recognize everyone behind the scenes. To the set designers, thank you for creating breathtaking scenes that truly immersed us in the story. To the production team, your lighting, sound, and special effects were outstanding and helped make every moment unforgettable. So much work happens behind the scenes that many people never see, and it certainly doesn't go unnoticed. A special thank you to the animal handlers and trainers as well. I know working with animals isn't easy, but they did an amazing job and everything flowed so smoothly. Thank you, Sight & Sound, for an unforgettable experience and for your commitment to bringing the Bible to life in such a meaningful way. I'm grateful my church chose this trip, and I can't wait to come back again. If you've never been to a Sight & Sound production, I highly recommend it--you won't leave the same way you came.
