During her time here she has learned all forms of dance - tap, jazz, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, etc. She loves going to practice as it is the perfect balance of training and FUN! Her teachers are amazing and really push her to be her best. My 6 year old son also takes Hip Hop lessons with the boys group and enjoys his weekly lessons and participating in the end of year recitals with his buddies. The staff is kind and helpful. The Dance Studio is a great place to help instill the love of dance in any kiddo!!

This is the only studio outside of downtown that I will actively be returning to for more classes. The adult options aren't great, but the up and coming girls I took class with are all very well-trained, very talented dancers.

Many dance schools have inappropriate choreography for their younger dancers. Not Curio. Their choreography is appropriate/top notch and their instruction allows each dancer to progress and perform at their personal best. The education and skill of the instructors is phenomenal. It's a pleasure to watch them dance. I highly recommend Curio Dance School for dancers both young and old.

What we found interesting is that when they moved to their new space this past year, we were finally able to watch each dance session (which wasn't the case at their former studio). Our girls had their occasional "off days" as young children often times do. Yet the overt frustration and impatience on behalf of the staff became more and more apparent with each subsequent week. The tipping point is when one of our girls instructors (who happened to be the owner) literally raised her voice in anger and threatened not just our daughter, but any child that did not meet expectations. Specifically, any child whose shoelaces weren't properly tied (I wish I were exaggerating) were scolded and told laces will be cut off with a scissors if the parents don't do it themselves. Our child never wanted to go back after that day and we immediately withdrew her from the remaining calendar year. What's heartbreaking is, as a parent, you trust particular people with the wellbeing of your child (we did our research, we talked to other parents, etc) and despite a seemingly safe and trusting environment, Curio proved to just the opposite.

We have been trying to contact the owners about tickets to her dance recital but they have not returned our messages. We have been trying for over a week. We only want the tickets because we were required to buy them with our contract. And we would not miss her dancing for anything. (BTW, they charged us $25.00 per ticket. And we were required to purchase 5). When they finally answered their phone, we were informed that we were not welcome there, as they had read my first review, And we would not be getting our tickets. So I went down there in person. They did give me the tickets, and then proceeded to kick me off the premises. They also stated that they were going to call all other studios in the area and (I'm paraphrasing) basically have my youngest daughter blackballed. They also told me that they looked up my business and were going to write bad reviews in an attempt to put me out of business. I think that right there is proof of my earlier statement of them becoming the bullies. After all of this I think it needs to be said again. Do yourself a favor. There are LOTS & LOTS of dance studios in town. And most of them are higher quality than this one. Do your homework. You definitely want to steer clear of this one. One last thing. I see 2 - 5 star reviews after this from other "supposed" mothers that love this place. I will say that I'm glad they are happy there. We were happy as well. but once things go wrong, those reviews will change. I will update again after the recital.

The staff and dancers welcome dancers from all levels and backgrounds. The open houses are worth checking out, so you can see what types of classes you are interested in taking. For now my favorite classes are the Hip Hop classes. I have a feeling as I explore Zenon more that will change. The people take dance seriously, but are also there just to dance and have a good time. So girls and guys, if you are new or already know the cities but you are looking for a place to dance - Check out Zenon.
