I love going to Wilkerson Dance Studio. They offer classes for many styles of dance, including…read morejazz, tap, ballet, madern, contemporary, and hip hop. There are many friendly teachers, and they are very encouraging. If you don't understand a step, they will go over it until you get it. You learn 2 dances, one for the spring recital, and one for the Christmas recital. Some classes will also learn a short Halloween dance to perform at the Riley festival. The studios all have the wall in the front of the room covered with a mirror, so that you can see how well you are doing and what you need to improve. Also, all of these classes are offered for ages 3 and up, with classes for adults as well. I will always love dancing at Wilkerson Dance Studio! -Lexi P.

The dance education that my daughter is receiving from En Pointe Indiana Ballet is phenomenal. I am…read moregrateful that Rob and Polly brought their talents to Noblesville and made the decision to mentor these kids. The high quality education aside, one of the best aspects of this dance studio is their involvement in the community. I love the hometown events that the student dancers have the opportunity to perform at. En Pointe is making a point of not only showcasing the talented students in the community, but they have also started traditions such as An En Pointe Christmas, that is pure holiday entertainment for the whole family. If you or your child are looking for a studio that will offer you serious growth as a dancer and a performer, look no further than En Pointe Indiana Ballet.

Her instructor Rochelle is engaging, kind, and supportive of the kids and overall it has been such a wonderful experience. It's clear from the caliber of the studio and the high quality of classes, that all the instructors and co-owners take pride in what they do and conduct the studio with professionalism. Ashley and Suzann are true professionals, both with incredibly impressive dance backgrounds and education. Their love of ballet and care for their students shines through every aspect of CIAoD. We're looking forward to the spring recital, summer camps and can't wait until our youngest is old enough to join the CIAoD family as well. I highly recommend this studio to anyone seeking out a dance studio in the central Indiana region.

The owner didn't grow up dancing but just loves it and learned in her adult age, so the studio is for anyone who simply enjoys having a good time. I come from an intense ballet background, so this was really refreshing. It's adults-only and the classes are held in another dance studio. The classes are filled with adults who haven't danced in ten years or are beginners (they offer both beginner and advanced options). I've sent their classes to a few of my former dance friends who are nervous to get into dance again but this is not a place you have to be intimated! The teachers are nice, the routines are fun, and everyone is very welcoming and accepting. They also offer really fun pop-ups like a musical theater pop-up to one of the Wicked songs (the choreo from the movie!), a Nutcracker ballet pop-up, and more. I just requested a High School Musical one because how fun would that be?! So far I've only done jazz funk but I can't wait to do more.

What we loved most is how my young child can see that not all of these performers are older... many are only a little older than her... and this is great for role modeling! The performance was great!

Before hand they had a few tables selling goodies to snack on, crafts and such. We love the low price for taking the kids... but yet, still a wonderful performance! Highly recommend each winter!

My daughters have been dancing since they were 2 years old. As we have moved around the area from…read moreEast Carmel/Noblesville to West Carmel - they have attended 4 local dance schools in 14 years. I can say good things about all of the dance schools. However we made a major decision to move from competition dance to a ballet studio last year. There are several wonderful ballet programs in the local area - however - my daughter, as well as myself both felt strongly there is not a better program than what is offered at BTCA. BTCA really provides the total package for both care for the dancer and the person. She had auditioned at BTCA for a summer program previously and we both really liked the "vibe" of the studio when she simply attended that audition. At the time - she wasn't considering leaving her competition studio - she just really liked her audition experience at BTCA. When she got serious about changing studios - and auditioned at multiple programs in the city - she knew the right choice for her was at BTCA immediately. As a parent - I became immediately aware of the differences in all the programs she looked at vs her competition studio - in fact every instructor had notated the "gaps" in her technique that were created by her competition training. I point this out as I learned these "gaps" can lead to significant injury for young dancers. I would encourage others to look at a studio and the number of injuries their students suffer. If it seems like an extraordinary number of students are on a first name basis with the orthopedic dr's and physical therapists in the city - you should seriously worry. This would apply for gymnasts as well. Of course kids will get injured in athletics sometimes - but it's when the numbers of kids become a statistical anomaly I would worry. Most importantly Jane - the director at BTCA - immediately identified how she could work with my daughter to not only address these deficiencies in her training - but most importantly how this would protect her from further injuring her body. Moreover - I was impressed by the CARE that Jane puts into EVERY DANCER in the program. Other studios have a few "super stars" and then "the rest" of the kids. I have seen first hand how kids are built up emotionally and then cast aside when they struggle, plateau, or get injured. The emotional effects on these kids is very damaging. Coaches will say they are "toughening them up" which holds some truth - but not if the methods are in fact just hurtful not helpful. Many kids drop out entirely but the coaches do not care as there is always more kids coming in the door. It creates an unhealthy environment that leads to those stereotypes of "dance moms" that people assimilate with the TV show of adults behaving badly. That kind of environment is not present here at BTCA. In fact - when Frank and Jane's names come up in the "industry" - you will find that everyone respects and admires them and their program. I would echo that sentiment. They instill in their dancers great technique, performance, and most importantly decorum. I encouraged both of my daughters to dance as I realized they were learning much more than just how to pirouette through their training. They are confident, well spoken, brave, and grounded young ladies. Whether you are looking for a fun activity or hoping for your child to become the next ballet superstar - this is the best program you could find. Your child will flourish here whether they are just beginning to dance or advanced and looking for a day program as well as everything in between. And if you are looking to see a wonderful ballet - make sure to come see these talented dancers! The show they put on is better than many professional productions!
