After 2 years of being here…read more Pros: 1. Prices are reasonable, and they offer good discounts 2. There are the 1-2 teachers that are good and still care for ALL kids Cons: 1. The owner is always in a bad mood and talks very disrespectfully to the parents 2. The woman in the office has no costumer service skills 3. The owner's daughter is a brat 4. The technique is very subpar, and you can tell teachers never get updated classes themselves 5. Joy kids get priority over recreational students 6. The owner wants to save money, so she hires students to teach (and not even the good students) 7. Dances get done 1 week before the show making them look horrible on stage 8. There is a restroom that hasn't worked all year 9. The owner wants to hide it but there is a big bullying problem going on with the teenagers 10. If you are not on the "board" or a rich parent that donates a lot of money to the studio, your child won't ever be priority, and they don't care if your child learns or not Current parents keep drinking the cool aid because they are friends but this is the reality I see. I Hope my review helps other parents find the right place.

The only dance studio in Yuma, AZ that actually cares for the kids' wellbeing -mental and physical…read more We've been to a ballet school in Yuma and that place should be shut down for child abuse, no exageration. That's why half the most serious kids quit at the end of the season last year. Dawn's Dance studio has been the best option for an introverted teen who just wants to dance. We were not part of Joy first year, but only being in the studio for 1 year, my daughter was accepted to one of the most prestigious summer dance programs in the country (and internationally). Yet, the ballet studio in Yuma put her to the back all the time, belittled her skills, and told her she'll never be a dancer. On the contrary, the supportive encouragement of the Dawn's studio owners, the teachers, and the kids, have been refreshing in the dance setting. The kids that do TA for classes, are indeed very VERY good and deserve to practice their craft and give back to the community through teaching. Basically at Dawn's dance studio, if you're not that great at dance, you're not taking it that seriously because in the studio, opportunities are given to you to be the best dancer you can be to get to the next level. We've been to many dance places from PNB in Seattle to top dance schools in San Diego in the past 13 years of my kid's dance training. Being in Yuma, you can't get better dance studio than Dawn's. If you don't like it, then you better move to another city with more options because Yuma is...Yuma.

This place was such a horrible experience. We are military and I have delt with a lot of different…read moreplaces but this place was exceptionally rude and racist towards my family. The parking lot is always crowed with accidents and the director and workers are the meanest most unhappy people I've ever seen. I would never refer any of our military families here.
