It is clear their priority is cheerleading. Because of Covid and where we used to live my daughters were behind for their age, but Premier did not help. My two girls did not have great teachers, and were more babysat than pushed. They never got floor time. That was 100% reserved for cheerleaders. They were happy to simply take our money and call it a day and only leveled them up when I brought up how my girls seemed ahead of the group they were in. I put them at the absolute lowest level, so they could get used to it again and get the muscle and coordination back. I knew they would leave that level quickly, but didn't until I took action.

We paid in full a month before the party. When we arrived to the location, we were told, after having to ask, that there would not be an instructor for the class. This was very disappointing as we had told all the parents and kids that there would be one. Premier told us that all of their employees were at a competition. So, they would have known in advance that there was no instructor available and could have let us know prior to our party. We did get a $25 refund but that was only after I emailed and then called them about it. I got no response from my email so I called during business hours. They didn't seem to apologetic on the phone either. It sounded like this was common.

High price, pressure sale, very green instructors, is the hallmark of this studio, a poor…read morecombination for any dancer seeking to evaluate the studio prior to making the decision to join the studio . Since I had paid the first package "conditio sine qua non" to start the trial, I gave the benefit of doubt to my instructor, who disclosed to me --during lessons --that he was prepared for Smooth dances, not for my choice: the International Style. The instructor was very polite and showed a pleasant attitude during every one of my lessons, but needed to view and study the videos on his cellular phone, prior to teaching me each figures. This repeated with every figure. I was given no choice prior to the start the first lesson as to which instructor would be imparting my lessons. Indeed, my request to sit and observe a lesson, was met with an absolute refusal. I had to make the financial commitment prior to discovering who my instructor would be if I wanted to take lessons there. I was assured that my instructor was prepared for the International ballroom style. Since this was the only studio in Knoxville - at the time (other studios had closed due to COVID) stating to be prepared to offer lessons in the International Style Ballroom Dances, I decided to give it a trial, for my previous instructors were (and still are) in the Atlanta, GA area, and the traffic there is comparable to that of the 405 in Los Angeles... As it turned out, the Go Dance Studio of Knoxville, TN, favors the American Smooth style, not the International Style, the style I had requested when I first entered the Go Dance Studio. I can - in all honesty- state that I was sold a service the studio was not prepared to offer. I do not consider this a professional way to do business. The studio did not offer another instructor as I requested, because the studio did not have any instructor versed in the International Style of Ballroom Dances. Please, note that I have trained with some of the best professional dancers from 2013 to 2019, I have competed with grade A dancers, and I have been coached by world finalists, who themselves competed (at the time I was receiving instruction from them) against the world champions in International Style Standard and Latin dances, and placed second and third in every dance against the World Champions, in Orlando Florida (and other USA cities). I mention particularly only this city, because I was fortunate enough to actually attend those events. I am in no position to evaluate the Go Dance instructors's expertise in the American Smooth dances, although I have competed at the Bronze and the Silver levels in NDCA sanctioned events in American Smooth dances, but, I would have expected that a reputable studio would have informed me - at the onset - that the studio was not prepared to offer classes in the International Standard and Latin Dances, and perhaps encouraged me to train in the American Smooth and Rhythm dances.

We have been members here for about 5-6 months so far, going about once a week to a class that…read moreworks out either for Wednesdays or Saturdays. Overall I'm a solid 4.5 / 5 for it. The inside is pretty clean and continuously rearranged week to week based on planned activities. The speaker they use to play music is not too loud for those out there with sensitives. The staff welcoming you in is nice to greet you in and out, and the experience is typically a pleasant and fun atmosphere. This has been a great way for our ASD level 3 child to have an opportunity to be included and participate when he wants to. The structure here is not as strict as like a "Kidstrong" gym where they're constantly trying to round them back to participate - if they don't want to or are not feeling it, then there is no pressure here...and for this family it is appreciated. The "one person per kid and no more" is pretty strictly enforced, to the point of being called out privately during the session for any newbies that may not know. I was pretty annoyed by the way the instructor I had handled it at the time. If I had known kindly or with a sign that made that more clear then we would have not got in trouble, lol. Anyway, there's a viewing area where you can sit and watch in the distance. My -1 star here is around some of the equipment. I hit my head so hard once trying to keep the kiddo safe that I'm pretty sure it was a mild concussion. So, take it from me, be aware of your surroundings. Not all areas are fully padded up, so don't think this is a "my kid can play and I get a break" experience. Prepare for one of you to be hands-on and active - otherwise, someone is getting hurt at some point. My examples are no covers on some of the hard edges on the windows, and to the equipment involving on the hanging bars near the entrance and viewing rooms. I would definitely recommend a strategy around your attendance based on whether or not school is in session or not - it seems that the number can be quite excessive in attendance at times, so if that is a bother to you or your kiddo then plan accordingly. See you there! At least until we breach wanting to cancel one day - our kiddo loves it so much i think we're here until he's burned out on it.
