I'm so surprised there isn't a review for Gotta Dance judging how packed the children's dance…read moreclasses are here on weekends. I found out about Gotta Dance from a parents board at work with many fellow mums recommending this for children's dance classes. We've had our daughter in a tap/ballet class for the last three months and are so impressed! Our five year old loves it with a warm teacher and sweet classmates. She used to dread the ballet classes we had her in Portland before we moved (unfortunately the teacher there didn't like kids) but eagerly gets ready on Saturday mornings for class! They offer summer camps as well (which she is looking forward to this summer).

Our experience with Summit Dance started out positive enough when our daughter was young, however…read moreover the years it digressed to the point we made the decision to pull our daughter out of Summit Dance altogether, the following are just a few of the reasons why: 1. Dance Material. The dance instructors are very nice, but the music and chorography was very poor and outdated. We were very disappointed and our daughter very embarrassed by the routine. In fact, she didn't even want to do the recital and when she did, she was one of the few that actually knew all the moves. When we saw the performance we felt bad for going through with it. 2. Payments. Read the fine print. If you don't cancel your child by a certain date, Summit Dance will continue to bill/auto withdraw funds for classes your child isn't even participating in come June. We usually are only in dance classes during the school year, however - Summit Dance seems to like to take advantage of busy families to make an extra $100 when you forget to cancel and they will not refund you. Just a friendly heads up! 3. Customer Service. During covid we understand social distancing was a huge issue and everyone must be respectful, but when you have 5 year old child who needs to use the restroom and the person at reception will not allow them to use the toilet while their other sibling is in class and no one else is around that seemed a bit much. However, even after covid - the behavior of the person at the font desk never improved. Not sure if she was sucking on lemons or what, but this person has zero business greeting or working with the public due to their nasty demeanor and sour attitude. Again, when we started we were super excited to be able to support this locally owned woman run business, but in the end we had to respect our child who clearly was unhappy here. When your 8 year old daughter expresses how embarrassing the music and chorography is, it's not worth putting up with the other aspects of a negative situation either. We transferred to Rhythm and Soul in Woodinville and our daughter has been thriving and excited about dance again.

Overall, this dance studio is a wonderful place to have your young dancer start dancing. My son…read moretakes tap here and he enjoys it! The studio is sandwiched between PC Restaurant and Five Guys with ample parking space where it is easy to get in and out. They provide a free trial class when you are unsure if the class is going to workout for your child. The school offers ballet, jazz, hip hop, tap, musical theater and adult classes too. Their registration fee is minimal per family and class rates are competitive too. They welcome families every six weeks into the classroom for observation which is a great way to ask questions and connect with your child's teacher. Although, they do not have large observation windows, instructors often keep doors open (if it's not too loud in the waiting area) or are also open to have visitors upon request when families are concern about their child's class. Their website, quarterly newsletters and Facebook page keeps us informed with pertinent details about the studio and upcoming events. If your child loves to perform, this studio is the place to be as they give ample opportunities for your young dancer to perform in the community in their school's companies. One of the factors that I appreciate most at this school is that they seem to keep their faculty constant. Unlike other studios I have experienced in the past, turnovers were high and the staff seemed young and lack on teaching experience. Their faculty genuinely care about their students as individuals. The teachers are well versed in their craft and are educated both with higher education degrees and industry experience in national and international companies. If you have a budding dancer, Washington School of Dance starts as young as 18 months through adults.

I'm bummed to write this review, but I cannot recommend this studio. My daughter started at Vibe…read morewhen she was 3 and was with them for about 18 months. Her last recital was in June 2022, right before the closure for their move. I was expecting dance to be expensive, but there are so many random fees- recital fee, recital venue fee, costume fee, ticket fee, etc. Communication was extremely difficult, the website hasn't been updated in months, we weren't even told where the new studio is... if there is a new studio. Once we moved to our new studio, we also realized how much she had actually been lacking at Vibe. She didn't know basic terms or movements. We feel like we wasted almost 2 years for a studio to teach our daughter nothing.

I went here for my first dance lesson outside of college (because of covid, this was over a year…read moreago!) for the Hip Hop I/II lesson that took place around lunchtime of Sunday. Although the instructor was a substitute, I felt the quality of the lesson was not diminished at all. Pace of the lesson is beginner friendly, and even though it took me the first half of the hour to adjust and remember the vibe of dancing, I was still able to pick up the fundamentals and feel confident in myself dancing a few 8 counts at the end without hesitation. I had a great time, even with the fact that the class was really small (about 6 people), as it normally feels a bit intimidating for me to dance in small groups, at least for now. The only issue for me is the commute as I don't have a car to commute from downtown Seattle, but whenever my friend with a car wants to do more dance lessons, this will certainly be the first place I will think of! Besides, this is one of my coworkers go-to dance studio in the past before he moved closer to the city, and he has mentioned that before covid, some lessons are so popular you have to pay in advance to secure a spot!

There is a man who lives on the first floor, right outside the doors, who is a senior with disabilities. I am on the third floor, and every time they wake me up.

There is a quite simple solution: exit the front door after 10 pm. I have multiple videos of this happening.

It gives the girls a true performance opportunity and something to work towards. Absolutely love the quality and staff.

We joined this school in 2018 after trying several other studios, which all got a thumbs down from my discerning daughter, who was very clear that she didn't want to participate in dance recitals with little girls in too much makeup and explosions of glitter, bows, and over-bedazzled costumes (just not her cup of tea). She wanted a serious, yet fun studio, and KKSD is it. From day one this has been my daughter's happy place. She has made great dance friends, and has felt well supported in her passion for learning many types of dance. The families here are wonderful. Miss Karina is a serious instructor, who doesn't over-praise during class, but is also very loving and encouraging. Her twice a year dance performances at Meydenbauer Center are very well choreographed and professional. The costumes are beautiful, elegant and tasteful. The performers look fantastic, yet age appropriate, and get wonderful stage experience to build performance confidence naturally. We will continue to be part of this studio as long as possible, and in the new year I will start taking adult ballet as well. I'm excited to start. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS STUDIO!
