I would recommend this studio based on interaction with the owner and the fair pricing of classes. The only thing I would like to see are longer classes or additional classes for competition team members. Practicing only one time a week makes it difficult to get the teams completely cohesive.

I bought a dress described as having "extra fullness," and shown in a photo of a model wearing it…read morein the beige or nude color I wanted. I liked the idea of extra fullness, and saw in the picture that it was not at all see through. When I received it, it did NOT have extra fullness. The bottom of the dress was just one thin piece of chiffon and it was very see through. I also bought it in my regular size which was described on their sizing graph, but it felt too tight to dance in. It had an attached brief, making it most likely difficult to go to the bathroom. There was nothing saying that the dress would have an attached brief. Only 1 item out of the 4 items was "as described." The customer service person, Karley, said that I can return 2 of the items, and pay my own postage, and wait a few weeks after that for a refund. After writing this review, the company has been kind enough to give me a refund, and now I am happy.

They also offer an adult program for guys - the dancing dads! So if you've got your daughter or son in dance you can also dance and do a recital with them. That's pretty cool. The instruction is top notch. The dancing dads - a bunch of guys with no experience in dance were able to even make it on tv last year on So you think you can dance. The instruction is that good! I've joined the dancing dads this year, and it's been a blast. Really cool guys to work out with - even if the rugrats and kids are always showing us up. It's a great workout and a fun time.

The chairs for parents to sit in are disgusting, the floor always has food on it, the tables in the cafeteria are always dirty. To make it worse, they completely ripped us off on his "costumes." He got 2 shirts and a pair of black pants. It costs us $130! The girls in his class got 2 beautiful dresses, and all of the accessories, for the same price. He's completely heartbroken that his "costumes" look like clothes that he already has in his closet, and that he didn't get any of the extras that the girls got. When I tried to talk to someone in the office, I felt like my question was completely ignored.
