I have never more happy about a decision I've made. Not only has she drastically improved in just two years, getting a title, scholarships and awards to boot. But, more importantly we've found a new incredible family. These kids and parents all truly care about each other and it's so beautiful. No drama just unbelievable support and great vibes. The teachers are the most amazing humans who truly care about your kid and have a great balance of cheering them on and guiding them to their best potential. I adore every single one of them. They have given my daughter (and I) so much love and support that I'm forever grateful for. I also take their adult classes which has been the most amazing experience for me as well. Yes, it's great fitness and fun. But it has also honestly been such a light in my life on my darkest days and been so great for my mental health. You get the same incredible teachers and amazing supportive community. Who knew one trial class could change our lives so much for the better? Forever grateful for our new family!

My daughter has been going to Purdance since she was just four years old, and we have truly never…read morelooked back since! Thinking back to our very first visit, I was immediately struck by how exceptionally friendly, warm, and welcoming both the staff and the wider parent community were. My daughter instantly formed a wonderful bond with Ms. Stella, and we have proudly been part of this incredible dance family for four wonderful years now. Purdance offers a fantastic variety of dance classes, catering to different interests and skill levels, backed by an awesome team of talented teachers for every single style. One of the absolute highlights of the year is their annual recital--it is the most magical day, seeing all the hard work, growth, and joy of the entire year of dance finally come to life on stage. We couldn't ask for a more supportive or inspiring environment for our little dancer. (Review cross posted on different platforms)

I cannot recommend this dance studio for parents looking to lift up young girls…read more My daughter was interested in Kpop dancing, and is in an awkward bubble age of being too old (~10) for the "mini" class and at the cusp of too young for the"Junior" pre-teen class. She definitely isn't a great dancer, but she practices and tries her hardest. This is just a fun class for girls, not elite or comp. Things started off well but then she started leaving with tears in her eyes. She says that the teacher was leaving her out of the routine and so she was sitting around most of the time, not understanding why. No explanation. I urgently asked for a callback to understand the situation. No callback. I asked the teacher, Mr Garret, next week in person. He says she wasn't getting it but he would include her more. I asked him to speak to her about her so she could feel supported and understand and how she can improve. He says he didn't have time to talk to her and said he would next week. He never did. Not excusable. My daughter continued to come back with tears in her eyes. She says that 2 other girls were giggling and laughing when she made a mistake. She didn't want to make a fuss or quit before the performance. The performance came, and she fell behind in the rehearsal. She told me a few days later that everyone laughed at her. She just did box breathing to focus and did great in the performance. It was a proud moment for our family. *I then receive an email saying that she needs to go to the class where she is overaged OR just take the SAME class but on a different day to free up space for a better dance*. Reason: she wasn't dancing well enough; wasn't fitting in socially; the class was "full" and she's kicked out. Wait, she's still being invited to the same skill but on a different day despite being a bad dancer? I was shocked and disappointed. Instead of optimizing for the culture of the class, they instead optimize against the student for not fitting in. She's not a great dancer, but she's young, tried hard, and was trying to fit in even with tears in her eyes every day. We have dropped Purdance with no hesitation and she now uses her experience as her way of being able to hold her breath to perform amidst an unsupportive environment.

Now that my girls are not participating at Infinity Dance Studio any longer I feel comfortable…read moreleaving an honest review. My girls really did like their time at Infinity for the most part. For younger children and for recreational dancers I think that it can't be beat - we tried other studios years ago and they never felt as comfortable in any as they did at Infinity. They had a lot of fun, especially in tap and jazz, and the recitals are wonderful to participate in and watch. Mine did end up doing some of the competitive level dancing and that is where I found issues. It's very cliquey, not so much with the children/teens, but with the teachers. There are some very talented dancers who have competed with Infinity for years and they definitely take precedence over other dancers. I understand why this happens, however, when you speak with other parents you certainly see that when dancers who are not in this particular group make a competitive team they: Are moved towards the back of the dance and ignored Are asked to stay in a lower level of a comp team for "more practice" until next year...then never moved up In my time there I witnessed many parents moving their children to different studios so that they were pushed to the next level and did not remain stagnant. It's disappointing to see your children trying so hard to advance themselves but not having the teachers push them or give them constructive criticism/feedback. I think this could be a great studio if the teachers and the owners were willing to really work with all students, and not just the "star" dancers. It's too late for mine but I hope they take this feedback to heart.

The value is really good for the quality of lessons that they receive, and most importantly she has so much fun and enjoys class. There is a very welcoming and positive atmosphere for all of the dance members to feel comfortable. We've had such a positive experience from communicating with staff through email and staying in-the-know with pertinent studio information from the start. The studio staff are also very informed and good at organizing all of the many details that go into putting on an exceptional recital. I'm so glad she is part of Infinity. Thank you for providing such a great environment for kids to grow a love of dance.

Now our daughter is taking class all by herself at almost 5 years old (and she really likes going on the ballet barre). She's grown so much confidence in the class (although this took time), and she really enjoys all the dancing and activities during class. The make up policy is very easy and flexible for changes in our schedule. We're so thankful for all the classes we got to share with Ms. Bella, Mrs. Jocelynn, and Ms. Isabelle. They've all been wonderful teachers and really engaging and kind with the kids. We even hosted our daughter's 4th Birthday Party here. We were lucky to have Mrs. Jocelynn and Ms. Celeste host and help with all of the setup and cleanup. All of our guests loved the activities and class and our daughter still talks about her birthday party. It made things really easy for us.

Updating my review based on Christy's response. Interesting…read morethat Christy can respond to Yelp reviews but will not call or email a parent. Christy's response is, quite frankly, laughable. No significant time was spent communicating with me. Christy has never once communicated with me! Neither Christy nor her staff (Michelle or Bre) stepped foot in the dance studio to assess the environment in person during the class either. Christy states that she is confident she and her team approached the matter with a "child development philosophy." Per Bre Chavez, on a phone call on 5/1, she stated that a child kissing another child forcefully on the mouth is normal behavior and she knows this because she has years of experience working with kids. Where in child development literature does it state this is normal behavior? Bre also told me during that same phone call that she did not want me to talk to the other parents about the situation. They are the ones that promised to have two teachers present ongoing to ensure no further issues occurred (and no, it was not a temporary agreement), and that agreement was rescinded because they don't have enough teachers after the newest teacher quit (I think she only lasted a month or two?). Christy or one of the other two could have stepped up and come to the class and they chose not to. Christy's solution to these issues was to kick my child out because she doesn't like that I wrote a poor review of the studio. I left an honest review of my experience and my opinion of how the situation was handled and she RETALIATED. That tells me all I need to know about her. So my caution to families is to enroll at your own risk. Know that Christy will not communicate directly with you and will retaliate against you for complaints you make about the studio.

No tiene ego, no hay presión solo un interés genuino en verte avanzar. Le importa el progreso de sus alumnos, y eso se nota en cada clase.
