By far one of the best dance studios. Really has a great family vibe between instructors as well as…read moreother parents. The only think I don't like is that they don't offer classes for younger kids, there's tons of toddlers running around waiting on their bigger siblings... I started at a different studio first due to the age restrictions here and I noticed a drastic change in my kid, she became more passionate and learned the names of moves. Prices are great, offer military discounts. Always fun events to participate in!

I honestly regret spending my money at DansWest Dance Studio…read more The tuition is ridiculously expensive for Tucson, especially considering the quality of teaching. Paying around $100 a month for ONE class is already outrageous, and if your child actually wants enough instruction to improve, you're expected to pay for another class too. That can easily become around $200 a month, which is not realistic for a lot of families. My biggest problem was the Acro Level 2-3 class with Miss Dani. In my opinion, the class was nowhere near the level it was supposed to be. Most classes were spent doing conditioning, stretching, splits, and backbends instead of actually teaching intermediate acro skills and proper technique. Students who were ready to learn more weren't getting the instruction they needed. The wristband system also made no sense to me. I watched students receive higher-level wristbands even though they still struggled with basic skills, while other students with stronger technique didn't seem to get the same recognition. From my experience, the standards didn't feel consistent. I also felt there was obvious favoritism toward some competition team students. I even watched one student receive opportunities that, in my opinion, didn't match the skill expectations that seemed to apply to everyone else. I will not name the student but his name starts with a G. However I don't blame the student--that isn't their fault. My issue is with how the studio handled it. The owner has always been kind whenever I've spoken with her, and I genuinely think she's a nice person. However, I believe she needs to take a closer look at what's happening in some of these classes. The inconsistent teaching, confusing evaluations, and what I experienced as unequal treatment are problems that shouldn't be ignored, especially when families are paying so much money. For the prices this studio charges, I expected much better instruction, better organization, and fair treatment for every student. Based on my experience, I can't recommend DansWest Dance Studio.

I take my three and half year old granddaughter here for Angelina Ballerina dance classes. Miss Marion, her instructor, is very experienced and a pleasure to work with. The kids, eight in her class, just love her. They have a camera in the studio so you can watch the kids dancing on a large screen TV. The cost is reasonable for a 45 minute session each week for a whole school year. There will be a recital at the end of the year. The receptionist is very friendly and helpful. We are completely satisfied, so far, with everything. Our granddaughter loves coming here and looks forward to dance class each week. We may take a music class too in the next couple of weeks. A basic music course for the 4-5 yr olds is some keyboards, some singing, and some other stuff.
