As the designated picker upper the other night, when I pulled up to the place, the entire front window was steamed up to the hilt. The way it looked I expected the Lord of the Dance to come tapping out the door. But I could vaguely make out a couple of future "colleens", in pretty black and orange dresses, bouncing up and down. Non stop. They have varied hours at this location, evenings too, and not only is the school "parent friendly" but my niece loves her teacher. She also can't seem to get enough of Irish dancing ... also a credit to her teacher. At this stage in her dancing career, the cost is based on dancing in a group for a number of lessons. I have also been forewarned about upcoming recitals and shows; she's hooked. Erin go bragh!

Talia has earned numerous choreography awards for all age levels. Her exceptional teaching style is not only evident at the competitive level but also stands out at the recital level.

Acting as Director, Talia will ensure all classes taught at her new studio have this same style of instruction. Every instructor will promote an atmosphere of excitement, professionalism, and creativity; allowing all students the opportunity to learn and continually excel in dance. 2016 marks an exciting milestone for Dance Xplosion as it is our 10 year anniversary.

A great recreational gym! (I can't speak for competitive since my daughter is not old enough to…read morecompete yet) AAG keeps growing and growing! I've been going to AAG for 3(+/-) years. My daughter has participated in multiple different classes. Pros: -For the most part the owners listen to feedback from parents (Within reason of course!). After many complaints of a crowded parent area they expanded to the warehouse next door. Recently they have upgraded from uncomfortable metal folding chairs to newer chairs and added some tables. Other feedback that I've seen AAG turn into improvements would be expanding the old parent area to provide additional seating and storage areas, and also adding additional viewing windows in the parent area so parents can watch classes easier. -They keep adding more classes, and a variety of classes. Multiple levels of recreational classes, Ninja, Preschool classes, daytime classes for preschool and home school, boys gymnastics, high school prep, tumbling, competitive team, and more. There is something for everyone. -Recreational classes are competitive in price with other gyms. Cons: -Like most teachers, everyone has a different way of teaching. Some coaches seem to have an easier time teaching students a skill than other teachers. Another thing I have noticed is that the classes don't seem very structured. Some coaches focus more on conditioning than others. These are not necessarily bad things, but they are inconsistencies I have noticed. -Keeping on the topic of coaches, with the exception of a few coaches who have been there for a few years, it seems to be a revolving door. Some coaches come in and are there for a month, then they're gone. -One complaint I've heard a few times is a gymnast being in the same class for some time with little to no improvement on skills. In one instance, two of the individuals had been in the class for about two years and were disappointed that they had not learned as much as they hoped. This could be for a number of reasons- the "revolving door" of coaches, the coaching inconsistencies, gymnasts not practicing/conditioning outside of class, etc. Sometimes it does seem like a slow learning process. Some skills are difficult to achieve and require taking that extra step. Overall, I think AAG is a great gym that has potential to become a well known gym in the area. They keep investing in new equipment and upgrading their facilities. People seem to like the gym because they keep coming back! As I mentioned before, AAG keeps growing and growing. The reason they keep growing and growing is because they are good at what they do.

They have space for parents to relax and wait with awesome gymnastics gear available for purchase. Tina was sitting behind the front desk and was very helpful and answered all of my questions.

The coaches were hands on and very patient with beginners but also challenging the most accelerated girls. This place is a hidden gem! Pricing is reasonable as well!
