My daughter has been dancing in Coomer Ballet since Summer 2019 and I could not be happier with the…read morequality training she's received and the progress she's made. The previous comment made by Robbie L is very misleading. 2 of the owners without dance background do not get involved in day-to-day training. They simply provide financial backup. Michelle Coomer is a former Houston Ballet demi-soloist. She danced for HB for 9 years - not simply "few years". Since then, she had taught all over Houston including at Divine Dance Academy for 5 years - an establishment that the author gave a 5-star rating to. Chris Coomer is a first soloist with Houston Ballet, the 2nd highest level in a ballet company. He is very involved in the studio and teaches more than 1 day a week. The "high school" instructor does not teach ballet. The only class she teaches is drill team prep and in my opinion, she is well qualified for that as she was the captain of PHS drill team. While Coomer does not offer make-up classes for holidays, they also do not charge for it. Something that I don't experience with other studios in the area. My daughter has the aspiration of dancing for Houston Ballet, and I trust Coomer Ballet will help her achieve that.

I wish I'd had the benefit of a review before wasting time & hard earned money at Coomer Ballet…read moreConservatory. I hope to be able to help another family make a more informed decision than we were able to. Their website SOUNDS impressive stating "classes are taught by current & former Houston Ballet dancers". What we found, however, is that training is substandard at best. VERY disappointed that the level of dance is not nearly as high as what we've experienced at other Pearland dance studios. After enrolling and noticing it was not what we expected, I researched the owners. Two of the 4 stated owners have ZERO dance experience or knowledge?! I could only find a background in construction and not even BASIC dance knowledge? The other 2 owners do have ballet experience. One is a retired ballerina who danced for a few years at Houston Ballet some time ago. The other still dances at HB and personally teaches class at the studio one day a week. They have occasional guest dancers from Houston Ballet teach classes. What we noticed though is that simply because one can dance, does not necessarily translate to them being able to teach. Some of the Conservatories instructors have never danced nor taught professionally and use to teach at other local dance studios. Which in of itself is not a bad thing, but we found that their level of instruction was not especially advanced as is touted on the Conservatoire's website. One instructor is a high school student?! We were looking for something more than simply another average local dance studio. Hoping for a high quality program capable of teaching at a professional level. Paid much higher tuition than at other studios THINKING we would be getting what we paid for. We were wrong. Especially surprised that for a ballet Conservatory, they do not teach classical ballet? Their ballet has more of a contemporary twist. We found they have nothing in place to nurture future artist? Something else you expect from an establishment that "toots their own horn" as being among the "greatest of the great" (the owners have stated this?!?!) While they know many dancers who work for Houston Ballet, there are no apparent internal connections to get their own Conservatoire's dancers a "foot in the door" to the professional dance world. (Nor are Coomer Ballet's dancers trained high enough to compete for professional slots) We experienced their main objective to be how much $$ they can generate for the studio, rather than developing dancers to a high level. NOT realizing if a school prioritized training, money would naturally flow to the studio because they would develop a solid reputation. As a consumer, our family felt gouged for every little thing. You have to pay rent to utilize an empty dance room between classes if you want to practice (most places are happy to have their dancers practice because it only makes them better-thus makes the studio look better). They don't allow holiday make-ups but charge full monthly tuition(again, most studios want their dancers to make-up classes because the more training they have the better the studio looks!). Won't add adequate upper level classes (stated it's not profitable!) $35 for a simple T-shirt with their company logo (free advertising for them)! Rather than complementary coffee like many business offer patrons- they charge $2 a cup! Several such customer service issues told us they are not as interested in training students as they are extorting $$ from parents. While all businesses need to make a profit, the way to generate revenue is by building relationships with families (not making them feel taken advantage of), offering advanced training & opportunities for growth. Their construction experience blinds them from nurturing artist's abilities. We found Coomer Conservatory to be just another dance studio with average training, a once a year recital, an option to compete in local competitions, and no where to go once you outgrow their limited program. We were looking for a place that turns out professional dancers but that's not even close to what we found. They are very over-priced for what they have to offer. I don't believe they know how to train advanced levels. We've since moved to another studio, receiving FAR superior training with much friendlier service & more opportunities. We felt like "a paycheck" to Coomer Ballet, without receiving what we were paying for. If you are looking for a local studio close to home, don't mind paying more than charged at other AVERAGE studios, and do not necessarily care if they have anything special to offer, you may have a better experience than us. Some families simply want recreational dance for fun. My dancer has professional aspirations. After giving Coomer Ballet Conservatory a solid try, we've determined it does not provide the professional level training needed (that the conservatory claims to offer), nor any avenues for entering the professional dance world.

Honestly, not the biggest fan. My children have been to…read moreother gymnastics and dance studios but this one did not impress me by one bit. Gym time isn't that bad probably the only consistent activity where coaches need to be more hands on but give the children so much freedom to run loosely with little direction, yes it's supposed to be fun but I feel like they are missing on one key elemental skill which is coaching verbally in order to maintain order as much as a coach can. The staff loves to be on their phones, yes all the staff (at least when we went) were young teen ladies but what kind of example is that on the young? Oh it's totally ok to be on phones as you are being instructed? ....I think not. What teen doesn't want to go out on Friday nights but once employees commit to a job, it is their responsibility to take on the duties that are expected. Lastly, the dance class. Never in my life have I had my two other children attend a dance class directed by a TV screen, almost identical to little Julian from Big Daddy when he was hopping around while watching the Kangaroo sing-a-long. Dance instructors typically (from my previous experiences) have all children in a pattern, either by the bar or in a circle to see the children's body movements as they are being taught the basics of dance. This would be a lot different if the studio class was dealing with toddlers or young children but when children are at the age to comprehend and act upon the instruction. I am no dance instructor but experiencing dance at different age groups from both my other children and from the little that I remember, children are missing out on such a wonderful experience even if they are not part of the dance team. Perhaps even challenging themselves or simply just practice stretching exercises, parents here are being robbed on what could be a great hobby for these kids to possibly pursue as they get older. Luckily, for us we are no longer members of this gym and dance studio. We are actively looking for something along the lines of my older two have experienced since our youngest child seems to really enjoy gymnastics and dance.

Such an act of thoughtfulness deserves nothing short of a top-notch rating.

Latin Dance Factory - Houston, TX…read more I've been taking Bachata classes at Latin Dance Factory for a few weeks now and I'm absolutely loving it. If you've been wanting to learn something new, this is the place. Perfect for beginners or anyone looking to take their skills to the next level. Whether you're flying solo or coming with a partner, there's always something happening--classes, events, and pop-up parties nearly every day. You can learn Salsa, Bachata, Cumbia, Kizomba, and Merengue right here in Houston. My favorite part is the community--so welcoming and positive from the moment I walked in. I've never taken a dance class before, and it's already boosted my confidence so much. 10/10 -- always excited for the next move and learning to stop saying "sorry" with my sweaty palms. : Credit- Christian Gutierrez
