AM in Phoenix is probably the best dance floor in the Phoenix area that is available to the public…read more The suspended wood floor is well maintained and it's big enough for large events. There is a smaller floor in a separate room for private lessons. The location is kind of weird until you get used to it. The neighborhood isn't the best but fortunately the parking lot is in the back of the building and seems safe. The ballroom has a good sound system although the music they play often isn't the best. Air conditioning in the summer can be hot enough to be uncomfortable. I can't vouch for the AM studio or the lessons because I haven't tried any there. I often go there for the Sunday Desert City Swing, which is a wonderful West Coast Swing event, and for the USA Dancesport ballroom party that is held there once every other month.

This is our daughter's fifth year at the studio and we truly couldn't ask for a better dance home…read more The teachers are dedicated, supportive, and create an environment where dancers are encouraged to work hard while still having fun. What really makes this studio special is the sense of community. It's welcoming and positive, and the kids build great friendships while gaining confidence and discipline through dance. Watching my daughter grow as both a dancer and a person over the past five years has been so special, and we're so grateful to be part of this studio.

I have been taking my daughter here for almost 2 years now it is a great place. When they opened…read morethey offered a month free, how could I refuse right!?!/! So we tried it out it is even out of the way for us! There is another dance/gym place practically accross the street by me I could throw a rock at it. It has a warm homey feel to it, there is a changing room for the girl's and the dance room is enclosed. The parents can watch the dancers on the closed circuit tv in the front room. This is a + I think as there are no distractions for the kids. Other studios have glass on one wall so parents can watch, my kid would just look at me and not focus on the dancing. It is family owned and I feel very close w them, they take the time to know who you and your kids are as well. They like to see the progression of their teachings its heart warming! I have to say Mrs. Marianne is the best teacher she is very experianced and does so well with the wee ones, her energy is so high and you can tell she loves what she does! They have a recital once a year and they put alot into it. The owner is Carolyn and her daughter's teach some of the classes. I am not a religous person by all means but they are a Christian conservative family. Her daughter's were not comfortable at other studios where their costumes would show a little too much skin and the routines got somewhat provocative. They opened Purely Dance they have doubled their attendance in one year and I see them continuing to grow! They started offering an adult tap class on friday's which me and my younger sister are now taking by the way. Come join for a free class! The summer specals are going to be great!

I would recommend Purely Dance to any family who has a child interested in dance. The staff is so…read morenice and welcoming! My daughter Sawyer is a very active/hyper little girl and Miss Amber has been the best with her! She is very patient and kind. My daughter loves going to dance each week and loves when she can perform on the big stage! This dance studio truly cares about their dancers. They are very affordable for families which is great! I've enjoyed watching my daughter dance here. It's a safe welcome space and you can tell all the children and adults enjoy it. I've been with other families who have been here for years. Most even make a far drive because this studio and its staff are truly special. I am getting ready to enroll my younger daughter in class and we will be here for years to come!

Every student is accepted and given a part in the year-end play. They never hold auditions so no experience is necessary. The program teaches not only the theatre arts, but life skills and leadership as well. Students run their own meetings following Robert's Rules of Order and gain confidence to tackle anything the world throws at them. The theatre also has groups for adults, such as acting and stand-up comedy. You won't regret checking out The Academy Theatre.

Steppin' Out offers various Dance classes, usually through any West Valley city with the Parks &…read moreRec Dept. Now they just opened their Dance Studio conveniently located in Litchfield Park across from the Post Office. The employees have always been friendly. The classes are fantastic. The prices are somewhat reasonable ($45 a month for 1 class a week + $15 reg fee). Sign up at any time. Checks ONLY, no cc payments. The waiting room is about the size of a child's bedroom, there are French Doors to view your kid practicing in the dance studio...and this makes it quite crowded when there are way MORE adults in the waiting room than kids in the dance class. Why so crowded? Are people bringing extra FAMILY members and a few bored neighbors too? Of course, some folks are oblivious to others in the waiting room and just park a chair right in front of the glass French doors, blocking the view for anyone else. There must be some sort of Fire Marshall law about HOW many people are permitted in this small space and blocking the door with chairs???? Nonetheless, you're better off signing up for their Dance Classes with the city instead, it was a bit little cheaper, not as crowded and the waiting area was NEVER filled with crowds of unnecessary people.

They work really hard to put on two recitals each year and also the summer shows. Honestly, this has been my daughter's second home at times and we are so grateful to the staff. We are going to miss coming here when she graduates. There are a lot of choices out there for a dance studio, but if you want a place that will treat your child like they would their own, this is the place to be!
