A Treasure of Discipline, Grace, and True Ballet Excellence…read more My daughter Sarah Spallas had the privilege of training at the Yen Li Chen Ballet School, and to this day, we consider it the very best training she has ever received. It wasn't just about dance it was about self-respect, discipline, poise, and learning to carry herself like a young lady. The instructors teach more than steps; they instill confidence, elegance, and inner strength. We've since moved to Florida, and not a day goes by that we don't miss this school. The standard of teaching is top-notch truly professional and deeply nurturing. It's rare to find a place that teaches both the art of ballet and the art of character. I can honestly say my daughter left that school better in every way not just as a dancer, but as a person. If you're lucky enough to live nearby, give your child the gift of this training. It's more than just a ballet school. It's a foundation for life. Forever grateful, A proud and thankful mother

She's tried hip hop, ballet, tap, and a couple of the summer camps and has loved every single one. Her teachers (she's had Gabby and Angie, the owner) are both amazing with the kids, and Brooklyn always looks forward to class (it's the highlight of her week). The studio has a lot of options, the prices are reasonable, and the recital at the end of the year is super organized and fun to watch. We're really happy we found such a great dance studio so close to home. If you're looking for a new studio in Queen Creek, definitely give this one a try - you won't regret it!

When an owner/instructor is hanging out at clubs, bars, going to Disneyland or trips with the same parents of dancers, and ironically those kids get all the opportunities to move up.......i call that a complete conflict of interest. There are some wholesome instructors, but no matter how good they are, if the favoritism continues it is clear the studio will not grow into what it could become. Word will travel about this behavior as the dance community is small in the area. I hope they get their stuff together because the potential is there.

Is it possible to rate this school less than 1 star? Having read the previous 2 reviews, I can say…read morewith assurity that the authors were NOT exaggerating! I would like to start by saying that I never expected my child to become a prima ballerina in 1 year. But I certainly didn't expect this! My child was routinely ignored, not just upon entering the school, but also during class. The owner, Miss Allison was also my child's *teacher*, a title I use loosely, as she did not actually teach. She demonstrated steps, but never actually showed/corrected my daughter on how to execute these steps. My daughter was also in the younger class and if left to herself, would just stand still. Simply calling her name would have helped her to pay attention, but even this was to much for Miss Allison to do. So my daughter spent most of the class time just standing on her 'X'..and Miss. Allison didn't seem to care. Please note that when I pointed this out to the owner/ teacher, she became very defensive immediately saying that she was sick of parents saying that to her. (If other parents approached her to discuss the same issue, shouldn't that have been a clue? ) I finally thought that she'd just given up on my daughter and asked if that was the case. Yeah, I knew that would make her go on the defensive, but I couldn't think of any other way to force her to teach or at the very least acknowledge my kid. When I asked her, she left the building and went to her car, leaving my child and me alone in the building! I would have pulled my daughter from the school after that but I'd already paid up front for tuition, costumes, recital fees, etc. I should also mention that the teacher spent a lot of time checking and typing on her cell phone, especially during the gymnastics portion of class. Let me address costs. The school website advertizes that they are more affordable and keep costs down as compared to other schools. First, their tuition is about the same as most, but a little more than some. They also say the recital fee includes 2 tickets and a souvenir t-shirt. Yes, the tickets are included but they are for the nosebleed seats. The t-shirt is NOT included as advertised. Also, midway through the year, I received an email informing me that the owner didn't realize that her school was subject to Chandlers entertainment tax, so she took it upon herself to retroactively charge all credit cards on file for this additional fee. While my child was only taking 1 class a week, the fee was small. What concerned me is 1: after being in business for 3 years, shouldn't she have known about that tax? 2: As previously mentioned, I paid all the fees in advance. She not only kept my card on file although there was no need, but then took it upon herself to make this additional charge first and tell us about it later. 3: Although I was never impacted by this, mid year she changed her late payment fee from $10 to $25 , almost half the cost of tuition itself! Another violation of the contract we signed. There's much more I could add, but I'll summarize by saying if you're looking for a facilitator not teacher who will only recognize you and your child when you're handing over your credit card (unless you're her 'pet' and she does have pets! ), then this is the school for you! However, if you're expecting to have your child actually learn something. .anything. .I suggest you run, tap or plie' (ple ay) somewhere else!
