Don't lose heart, parents, this journey requires you to let go and let the teachers do their job. The dynamic of the class varies, but the teachers are consistent. Observe the more advanced classes, the dancers probably grew up and looked just as confused as your 3yo does. But they will get it, and they will be better for having been a cookie joe dancer.

Initially, I really liked the school. I took my daughter who is three years old and we endured…read morealmost an entire year. My initial impression was good because they have a lot of good morals and they are actually teaching the little girls good technique. However, after a few months, I started to notice that there was a lot of distraction happening, especially in the little girls class. The instructors focus was to try and convince even younger little girls maybe two years old and younger to try and come in to take the class. The instructors attention to the girls sitting on the floor with their parents Was more than 50% of the class this really distracted my child. I had my in-laws and my husband also take my daughter when I could not and they did not have any nice things to say about the class. They mentioned that expectation was way too strict for little girls And my husband did not like the atmosphere that was set by the owners-- he said that they were not friendly toward him at all as a first time parent parent taking his child. As a dancer, myself with a degree, I also understand that temperature is important in the studio, but in the summer months it was way too hot almost 80°. I don't think this is an appropriate temperature. I don't think they carry themselves in a nurturing and comforting way. We have found the climate to be very militant as opposed to relational. They are diplomatic and do nice things for the community, but not enough to keep us here. We will not return to take class.

Mary Ann is the sweetest, and most kind hearted instructor for Ava's tap and I believe she is also…read morethe owner. Her compassion, dedication, making it fun, and not stressful for the kids exceeds tremendously compared to last school we went to. Ava wanted to try ballet again because she loves to dance and when she found out her two classmates go she made it possible for me to put them together because of her previous experience. IF you ever meet MS. BRIA she is an angel sent; her grace, her smile, her patience without getting frustrated shows how much of an exceptional ballet teacher she is. We are so excited to join this school and my daughter feels so welcomed and wanting to learn without getting frustrated and come back.. Best dance school ever by far.

Love this studio and concept--all about community and confidence! Diva Dance is an all levels all…read moreinclusive dance studio where you learn a new choreographed routine every class and get a work out in all within 60 minutes. There are 2 locations for this studio, with most classes being held in the evenings at the Sugar Land location, and Friday and Sundays being at the Stafford studio. They offer 1 class each evening usually and on Saturday mornings. You'll find yourself dancing to all the latest hits (but there's a good musical variety). They also have regular workshops and monthly events such as line dancing, bachata and lyrical work shops, and different dance class formats inclusive of yoga (Dance RX or Zumba like--Dance nonstop). The community here is amazingly supportive and the instructors are all fabulous. I love a workout where it doesn't feel like a workout, and that's what this is for me. I enjoy the challenge of learning a new routine and I'm never bored which I often find happens to me with other workouts or studios. My confidence as a dancer has improved drastically since joining last year. Give it a try if you're interested even if you are like me and never thought of yourself as a "dancer", you might be surprised to find your rhythm!

I attended a DivaDance class through ClassPass - it was fun! The class starts with a brief…read moreicebreaker and then a warm-up begins. During the class, you learn step by step choreography to go along with a song of the day. The location is tricky to find because there isn't a big banner: it is the LAST (far left/back corner) suite facing Settlers Way Blvd, before the shopping center ends and turns into a neighborhood of houses. I've only done Zumba classes before, so I'll compare/contrast to DivaDance: In Zumba, you do 4-5 moves per song and do about 15 songs per class In DivaDance, you do 1 song per class and learn a music-video-like choreography routine with many moves. It sounds like a lot, but they break it down for you and you learn it bit by bit I couldn't stay for the full hour because of a schedule conflict, but overall I'd say it is fun and a mental workout to learn the routine. It wasn't much of a cardio workout because we weren't jumping and running around. I would say the cardio level is low to medium and definitely beginner friendly.

I can't compliment this studio enough. My daughter asks everyday if it's time for ballet class…read more Within 2 classes she was already showing me her tendu, plié and releve! She's even instructing her 1 year old brother on it, ha! The patience that Ms Cindy exudes is that of mother Teresa. I for one couldn't handle 10 three year olds in the evening with all their attitudes and frequent bathroom trips but she does so with grace and ease. There is also a viewing window for all the family to observe their little one dancing. Super friendly and approachable staff. It seems dancers start here and continue all through high school. Everyone is very passionate about what they do!

Incredibly disappointed with this studio. I called ahead to inquire about classes for my newly…read moreturned 3 year old. I told them over the phone she has never been to daycare and would have anxiety going to class. I was assured Ms. Cindy was great and they have experience with handling toddlers and the hardest part was for the toddlers to leave their parents but not to worry they know how to handle it and come the next day for a class. Well there was no introduction let alone communication about this and the teacher asks as class starts is she new? I say yes and she grabs my crying daughter into the studio. My daughter cried the entire class. The teacher would stand over my daughter when she was crying which is an intimidating act to a sitting toddler. After class I ask the teacher about class and she points at my daughter and says, "she can tell you." Well my daughter is 3 and all she was capable of telling me was the teacher was mean and told her to stop yelling. The teacher asked to speak to me after class. But instead of privately speaking to me, she proceeds to very loudly in the lobby in front of all the other students and parents start to ask private questions very loudly and lecture very loudly on expectations in her dance room. Understandable but absolutely not a discussion to be had in front of the entire studio. No empathy or understanding that we are just getting her comfortable in public in this pandemic. No masks worn by any staff. Just very angry, upset, disappointed in how my child and the entire situation was handled and we will not be returning to this studio after our treatment.

She has been in the Sugar Land area with us for almost two years now. Our local high school has an amazing Dance Coach & the group of girls are wonderful! Definitely a group I was hoping for her to befriend. She tried out for the dance team last year & made the JV Squad. She loves dancing & the friendly comraderie that the girls build through their group texts & other online platforms. We were delighted that this year when she tried out she made the Varsity team for next season! She has been practicing like a maniac to make sure she represents the school & Coaches in a positive light. At the Spring Show we were thrilled that the coaches brought in a few local dance studios to show us their stuff! Fierce Factory blew the roof off the stage!" Or as the kids say, "they ate it up!" INCREDIBLE is the only way I can describe what we witnessed!! I asked our Niece how we could support her & what she needed from us for her to continue growing academically & physically. She asked for some help with dancing! (Her leaps & turns could use a little help.) Of course I got online to contact FF right away! Dara was very friendly & welcoming! Supportive, & is very familiar with our high school team & what our Coaches look for! After her first class my niece was smiling, seemed to be walking taller, & was so excited about what she learned! Now we just need to create a nice dance space at home for her to be able to practice every thing she will be learning!! Highly recommend this location & program! In hindsight I wish I had enrolled her in FF before she tried out last year. I am confident that her experience with competitive gymnastics helped her learn dance & to continue to keep her toes pointed!! FF had a very nice staff & when you walk in the door all you see are trophies everywhere!!
