There are a wide variety of classes ranging from hip hop, pointe, and jazz, to ballroom, modern, and tap. They provide the unique opportunity for older girls to be class demonstrators, being able to support the teacher while teaching younger girls. The culmination of classes throughout the year leads to a recital in the spring that I always look forward to! I would highly recommend this studio, where I learned to love dance!

Classes start out great for your little ones; instructors are attentive, and we see our little…read moredancers come alive. For my child, dance and musical theater are her oxygen; it is what feeds her soul. So seeing someone teach her the methods and how to's was wonderful. The recital is major work for you ...the mother as men are not allowed to assist with little kids due to costume changes. You have to run back and forth from the band/choir room and the auditorium. You are not allowed into the auditorium during dances; so it is truly a hustle to get back to your seat in time to see your little peanuts performance. You have to purchase a seat for your little one if she/he wants to sit in the PAC with you before or after their performance. You are not guaranteed tickets; in fact, people tailgate and are in line at 5 am to get tickets. Some make it a drinking tailgate...that was always a joy*. Recital at DWP- is like a sporting event with all the yelling from the audience. There is something unprofessional about the entire experience. It was a daunting chore for mom's, especially when your child is too young to manage costumes changes/hair/time. I had volunteered early on to assist in the back or provide snacks for kids as well as do a fundraiser to offset costume costs but was ignored. I had suggested a brat fry during the tailgating of tickets to help offset costume/ticket costs; again I was ignored. I was not in favor with the owner or her clique...and trust me it is very cliquey. If you continue at DWP thru the preteen and young teen years, you will see a shift in the experience for your young dancer(s) and yourself. Recital song and costume choices are left with little or no guidance as the instructors leave it to the kids. My daughter not being a "popular" was not only dismissed for her opinions but laughed at or ridiculed. I found this to be a missed opportunity for the instructors to step up and teach sisterhood, teamwork, and guidance. Maybe they should pick out three or four outfits and songs; put them on a ballad and have a blind vote. That would be a democracy and no opportunity for bullish behavior. On numerous occasions, my daughter & others left class extremely frustrated because they were ignored or the fact that there was zero dancing because of arguing over songs/costumes, sometimes this lasted three weeks. The lack of leadership is evident throughout this organization from instructors participating in gossip to not communicating with students on their progress. Dance season/classes begin in September; the recital is in June. Then you are left waiting for the summer to find out via a letter if your child has moved up to the next level. At NO TIME is your child critiqued or given any feedback on what they, as an individual dancer, need to work on to move up. On numerous occasions, I requested additional sessions with my child only to be ignored. They acknowledged my child's stage presence but never discussed technique. Opted to hold her back for trivial reasons; they mentioned attendance one year- my child did not drive, and we faced a family crisis that year, and it was difficult to get her there- yet my daughter performed very well. Then there were comments on attitude; nothing specific when I asked about it. Something about talking in class....yet "popular" students left to go to the gas station next store for snacks, interrupted the class with off dance topic issues. Discipline is inconsistent and maybe if the instructors didn't spend the first ten minutes or longer gossiping or discussing their weddings and baby showers; the students would be poised to learn. DWP have rules in writing, but nothing is enforced. Numerous years they required leotards be worn in ballet; so we would purchase one and my daughter would be one of maybe four in class wearing one. Then it was back to bootie shorts and tank tops. Not every senior gets a solo; the instructors pick and choose. Unlike the other studio which allows them to audition. My daughter's instructor at DWP showed no interest in her. Her instructor is also not formally trained in dance, does not hold a degree in dance or dance teaching. When and if your little ballerina opts to go into point- around 12- and if she does not display a skill set after the second season...she won't have a sit down with the instructor- you as the parent won't get a call...nope you will receive an email tell YOU to tell your child they cannot go into pointe next year. My daughter had such issues with her toes and ankles that I pulled her from it...it was not worth it to me. Against my wishes, my daughter stayed at DWP because of friends and hoped that it would change. She was told she could not do a senior solo because of time constraints yet her instructor/owner added four or five minutes to the recital for their own dance routine and one focused on her engagement. Now I am fully aware that while my child as many

The owner and staff are always happy and positive. They take the time to learn each dancer and their own abilities. There is no pressure to be perfect or to push the kids to do something that for whatever reason they may not be capable of. There is no competing to be on a competition team so everyone gets the opportunity to go to dance competitions. Would give more stars if that was possible.

Kids running amok, unchecked, unsupervised, and tearing the place apart, especially when you're sitting in the waiting area during class. Also paid for costumes, photos, dvd, etc, never received merchandise because we were told we didn't pay for costume. Total load of BS. Have the bank account information to prove it, meanwhile studio policy won't even let you take the costume home without payment first, so that doesn't make sense. How did I take it home without paying for it? So we never received our pictures or DVD for that reason since the owner, Jodi Flatoff, is a complete crook, as is the entire business. Took our business elsewhere to Dance Dynamics, and took a couple extra family members with us. Couldn't be happier. Prices are great, instructors are AMAZING, waiting room and studio is spacious, clean, and well managed, and we couldn't be happier there. Quality business. I highly recommend. If you are unsure, just walk into this studio, and then walk into Dance Dynamics. If you want to slum it, stay with forthcoming and they're sleazy, daycare-esque, rob you blind business model, or take your kids to a quality studio with amazing owners, instructors, and have a great experience. *They also do not measure the kiddos for costumes at forthcoming so we received a HUGE costume for our tiny framed girl and had to pay for alterations out of pocket. AVOID THIS BUSINESS. Went here as a child, place was actually clean and reputable back when Peggy ran the place.

I have NEVER had a membership with any company that withheld that information- Sketchy!! Paul never answered my numerous phone calls. One time, did I ever get a phone call back- and I had to reach out to him maybe 4 times to receive that call. I work in customer service- and this guy is a joke. Simply put- any company in sales or customer service needs to put the RIGHT PEOPLE in place to do that job. When I went to cancel my membership, not only was I incorrectly billed MORE money than I was supposed to be for my last month, but Paul also told me I would not be reimbursed for it. So I came in face to face to talk with him. I was then handed off to deal with another employee- that informed me she works in an entirely different store. She was helpful. After taking the time to actually look at my paperwork, she handled my problem with ease. If this company needs employees to come from other locations to get the job done- doesn't that say enough? I would give this location and this employee, Paul - zero stars. Emily, from another location was especially hopeful- and I'm sure she is providing much better customer service at her location. Bad experience all around!
