Is Natalie J. for real? First off, I was there when this incident happened with her ill-disciplined children. The children almost technically destroyed studio property, and disrupted 2 other classes going on at the time with their noise. The instructor decided the best discipline was to end class early and send them home. If I was their parent, I would have agreed to these consequences, with further actions of my own. This woman had the nerve to blame the staff for her children's behavior. In Sync Dance is not a baby sitting service, but a performing arts institute who should not have to worry about irresponsibility and poor manners. As far as Kevin and the staff at In Sync, they go beyond necessary measures to ensure the children feel safe, loved, and welcomed by all who teach and attend the school. All serious discussions to parents (including by Kevin) have been for great reason, mainly to discuss with a parent a disruption a child may have made...like any other teacher at any other school would do. It is sad that Natalie decided it was In Sync's fault her children are not respectful. This is a place to get your children involved with. These kids turn into the model, responsible young adults we need in society today. Not to mention it is a non profit organization which the kids help raise funds for, to charity the community with. Amazing how one can write a rediculous review like Natalie's when she didn't even have a chance to really see how amazing In Sync is...because she was too busy attempting to "properly" discipline her children. read more

Incorrect technique, incorrect alignment, that is having to be re taught after several years at this studio. I found this out from a studio which puts out dancers to professional ballets all over the world. I feel like it was a waste of money and time of incorrect teachings for several years. The current studio maintains that it would have harmed her feet, and the improper muscles were being used, which can do a lot of damage. The owners are extremely moody, arrogant, cold, and have tempers towards customers. There is a lot of bullying here by certain kids that get away with it, especially if the mother volunteers a lot. I learned not to trust the owner's judgment about certain children's behavior because later it turned out not to be true. I had scolded my daughter numerous times, despite my intuition. Never again. The verbal abuse, and controlling and negative teaching tactics were harmful. There was an attitude that praise was not given because then the kids will not do well. However, I have since learned, and really felt all along, that the nicer instructors with a positive teaching environment, actually put out better and happier dancers. The artistry was good for a small town company, but absolutely not worth the negatives. My daughter is happier and in a much better emotional place because we are no longer there, and she learned greatly from this experience how not to be. read more

If you are looking for a dance studio, this is the one!! What an amazing studio with a caring staff. My daughter has been dancing at In Sync Dance for 1.5 years and she absolutely loves it. She is almost 13 and had never danced before! They are patient, dedicated, positive and talented. From day one, they were friendly and when I have a question or concern, they answer my emails after hours and on weekends. I was a new dance mom and they always made me feel welcome. I have asked my daughter what she loves about In sync and she says "I love my teachers! "One of her teachers is actually the owner! Miss. Jesse loves what she does and it shows. I am amazed when I watch my daughter dance. She has learned so much and it is because of this studio! When Covid started it was such a challenge for everyone. They follow all the proper procedures to make sure everyone is safe while still enjoying their class whether it is on zoom or in person. They work on the weekends to put together an in person schedule and never complain. I am truly impressed with how they have handled a difficult situation and still keep a smile on their face(even though we cant see it) LOL. We are blessed to have this studio in Auburn. read more

-Poor customer service and people skills, owners are moody, cold, and temperamental -Excessive favoritism -Excessive bullying not taken care of -I learned not to trust the judgment of the owner in regards to what was happening in class after I brought up the constant bullying, after I learned I had erroneously scolded my daughter numerous times for no reason after later finding out the facts which my daughter had been adamant about, and a instructor confirmed. -Alignment was not taught correctly and is having to be retaught, to the point that it would have harmed my daughter's feet and muscles were being used incorrectly. -Technique was incorrect, as I found out from a studio that puts out dancers to well known professional companies around the world. -Verbal abuse and controlling/fear based negative teaching tactics -Trouble giving encouragement or praise -Good artistry for a small town company, but again, not correct technique if you want your child to learn right from the beginning or go on past school age So glad my daughter is no longer there, and feel like it was a wasted several years regarding what she was taught. read more

That was very interesting review below- considering I witnessed the exchange between the yelper and the instructor; please remember that this was only one side of the event that occurred and not a whole lot of people take criticism of their children's behavior happily. Aside from that, my daughter has been dancing at In Sync for 5 years. The staff and owners (including Kevin) treat my daughter like family. She considers the studio a second home. She gets quality instruction that you wouldn't find anywhere near the area- have you seen their annual ballets? The choreography is beautiful and professional. I encourage you to go if you are curious about the studio. Their Company dancers also perform at various events throughout the year and these showcase other dance disciplines as well - also beautifully done. Heck, these kids have also danced at Disneyland. If these kids and the parents were at all unhappy with the studio, would 30 kids have gone to Disneyland and dedicated themselves to all the extra work involved? This is MANY studio hours - parents and kids. You tell me. read more

I had the pleasure of attending another In Sync Nutcracker production this past weekend. I've enjoyed watching these hard working dancers perform the Nutcracker for the past five years, and they keep getting better and better. It's so obvious that these dedicated dancers and instructors work incredibly hard with countless hours of rehearsal to bring such a high level of entertainment and representation of the arts. I am also impressed with contributions this dance studio brings to our community. In Sync partners with a local children's cancer charity and proceeds from lobby sales are donated to Keaton's Child Cancer Alliance. Teaching our young people the value of "giving back" is incredibly important. In Sync Danc Studio, you have much to be proud of! read more

Natalie has no idea what she's talking about. We have been there 2 years and have been nothing but pleased with the professionalism of the instructors and owners. They absolutely run the best studio for all levels and disciplines in the area, hands down. I know that folks who have been with the studio longer, and new dancers and families would agree. If you want the highest quality instruction, great value, and be around passionate people with dedication and heart, join us. If you're so small minded and insecure that you would write a misspelled, grammatically incorrect and completely exaggerated negative review on Yelp - don't stop by. read more

The ballet of the Nutcracker this last weekend was fantastic. There were many levels of dancers from little ones to the experienced girls who were in major roles with tutus. The way recreational students were blended into the show was great. There was a part for everyone. It was apparent of the amount of work that went into this performance from the sets, to costumes, to dance routines. Yes, there were lots of dancers out there and it was good to see a full stage of dancers. The story stays the same but the presentation is always changing so it is a new show each year. Well done to another year! read more

I, myself have never witnessed anything but amazing from the studio. The staff members (including Kevin!) go above and beyond to create a fun and safe learning environment for the students. My daughter has been dancing there for 2 years, and is old enough to appreciate the discipline and extra "push" she receives to help her become a better dancer. Too bad Natalie doesn't have the maturity to see that. In my opinion, In Sync treats my daughter with respect, nurturing, and ya, maybe sometimes a little discipline. Hey! Just like a family would! read more

Family owned and managed studio. Owners are respectable and caring individuals. My daughter has been with In Sync Dance for five years and is currently taking 12 classes per week. She looks forward to going and is always in a great mood upon pick-up. That kind of positive response on a daily basis is strong and solid feedback for any parent! read more

Our family has enjoyed In Sync of Auburn for the past 3 years. I am amazed at all of the performance opportunities made available to my daughter. My daughter loves her teachers and is made to feel special when she does well or gives additional effort during rehearsal or performance. Thank you for your time, caring attention, and professionalism. read more

I took some classes there this summer, and the teacher is very good. While it is a smaller studio than what I'm used to, you get a lot more individual attention. I only took some ballet classes so I don't know what their other classes are like, but I would assume just as good. Everyone there is very nice, and the instruction is fabulous. read more

My daughter has been dancing at InSync for 2 years now. She just finished her first Nutcracker performance and is in LOVE! The studio is inclusive and allows for all dancers to reach their full potential. Wether your child is looking to dance just for fun or is a serious dancer looking to excel, this studio has it all. read more

We've been taking our girls here for a couple of years and love it. The staff and owners work hard and they push the dancers to work hard and improve. The shows they put on are incredible too - something the kids can be proud to be a part of. A lot of people drive past a lot of other studios to come to In Sync. read more
