Dori Matkowski pours her entire being into helping her kids achieve their goals. The staff that she employees is top notch! They are caring and kind and more than sacrificial to put the needs of our children in front of their own . My daughter is looking towards a career in the entertainment industry and we have been supplied with endless opportunities for her to grow and learn the skills that she will need to advance now and in the future. The list is endless with students who have gone on to become professional performers. And I must say contrary to other reviews One of the MAIN reasons we chose this studio when our daughter was two was their extreme modesty! Above and beyond the fact that we LOVE the entire staff at Dance Dynamics the modesty and professionalism keeps us there. We have NEVER regretted our decision to work with Dori and her unparalleled staff at dance dynamics!!!

Having eleven years of experience at other schools, Trenton shocked me. Gone was the favoritism,…read morethe in-fighting and pitting the dancers against each other. Gone was the oh-so obvious out to just make money while pretending to care about the dancer's. At Trenton, they do not make girls dance late Friday and early Saturday morning. They do not dissuade dancers from homework or school events with subtle comments or rolling of eyes, suggesting that if they have any kind of life they are not truly committed. Unlike other schools, they are respectful of the dancer's time and the dancer's families time - meaning they do not run 15 or 20 minutes over on classes like other schools do. And one of the BIGGEST things? When they say they have their dancer's safety in mind, they mean it. Before joining, they were the only school we could find that followed the masking mandates that Michigan schools followed during the last surge. We were so excited to find a private dance studio that followed science/medicine. I could go on, but I'll leave you with this - we are not currently attending the studio. We had to leave for reasons that have nothing to do with the studio. I have no bias in this as we are no longer there (for now at least). Unlike other schools, Trenton Dance did not solicit this review and doesn't even know I left it. Thank you.

Though seemingly a good dance school, a bad taste was left after the Nutcracker experience. It…read moreseemed to be more of a money-making enterprise than something for the students. Not only are the parents paying their normal tuition, they had to pay part of the costs associated with the production (yes, there was effectively a fee for their child(ren) to be in the play), plus the parents were required to pay to attend the play. They didn't have to attend both performances, but come on, what parent would just drop off their little one and not stay? That seems like a lot of paying on the parts of the parents, don't you think? At $20.00 per person, they weren't exactly cheap tickets. Two stars were chosen because the definition for two was "Could've been better", which is precisely the point. The experience was damaged by what appears to be gratuitous fund-raising.

I would never allow my kids to be someplace that is toxic. for the first eight years I drove my kids 45 minutes so they could attend dance at KSD. as for the accusations of bullying, all I can say is anytime you put that many kids together there is going to be drama. Anyone that has ever worked in a school will agree. My kids were raised to ignore the drama and have a thick layer of skin because that is how you survive in the real world. I would not change one thing when it comes to both of my girls dance education. Karen and the staff prepared my kids for the real world and both of them are extremely successful.
