We're new to CL and my daughters wanted to take dance lessons. Being a new dance mom (so exciting,…read moreright?) I didn't know what to expect. We signed up for Hip Hop and ballet at All That Dance and had a terrible experience since day 1. My daughter would leave class each day, crying. She said the girls were being mean to her and the teacher would do nothing about it. Fine. I get it, that's not 100% the teacher's job, so I made my daughter suck it up and continue on. But then the owner, Ellen, is very disorganized. Limited mode of communication on big events, important dates, and will call you out in front of God and everyone if you are behind in a payment. We were behind on $48 because we didn't realize the month was prorated and she shared it out in front of all of the parents and kids. That is not professional. You pull the parent to the side and tell them OR send a statement (printed) in the mail or physically hand it to them. Not all parents are stuck to their email. If you are like me, Gmail shows 1,000 missed messages. ....and don't get me started on the disorganization of the dance photos - missing accessories, and hair accessories that did not compliment my daughter's ethnic hairstyle. I also feel like what my daughter learned was subpar...but it could be the first time dance mom in me...I don't have much expectations. This company may be best for some, but not for us due to our experience.

We have been attending All That Dance for the last 10 years. This place has been a home away from…read morehome for my daughter, a place where she can truly be herself and shine. The owner, Eileen, knows every student's name and treats them with kindness and respect. As a parent, I am consistently included and asked for my input. One of our favorite parts of this studio is that there are many different kinds of dance classes to explore. As my daughter progressed, she got trained in ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, and hip-hop. Now as a high schooler who loves being involved in the plays and musicals, she is highly equipped to handle any form of dance they throw at her. In fact, as a freshmen, she was cast in all the productions at her high school which is rare. I credit the training in dance and poise she received from All That Dance. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our experience there. If you want dance instruction in a low pressure, fun environment, you have found your place!

They care about your child regardless of her level or talent. They give back to the community by holding a performance once a year where all profits go toward the chosen charity. The amount of dedication they show is incredible. Bashing small businesses on Yelp and Google because you didn't get what you want is classless and immature. Please stop ruining amazing people who have dedicated their lives to shaping our children. We are blessed to have our daughter in that studio with teachers that support, love and laugh with our daughter.

When moving to the area in DeKalb I asked another dance teacher from another studio we used to go…read moreuntil we moved- who knows a lot of people where I should bring my daughter and son five years ago when moving to the area -I was told to go to Beth Fowler School of Dance. So I called and talked to Beth the owner. She was so personable and positive. Even when I mentioned my son who has Down Syndrome and how he needed structure. She assured me he would do well there and they were completely accepting of any child no matter their differences. This alone made me shout inside. Loved the acceptance and they proved this right! When starting there five years ago -my daughter was a beginner and my son was in hip hop only. They loved it immediately! Teachers so supportive and encouraging. Good structure of classes and as a teacher in a high school I appreciated that. My daughter would come home and brag about Miss Brooke and how she was her favorite teacher- still does. In five years, I have never had to make them go to dance. They tell me when it is time to leave. Now, my daughter is still in classes and also is on the dance team. she has gotten so good- they have scores and has improved so much in three years of team. My son is still in classes for hip hop and loves it. I cannot stress enough the positives that have come out especially since in quarantine but Miss Allix, Miss Janelle, Miss Brooke, Miss Beth, Miss Rachel, Mr. Miguel and Me. Robert- I cannot say enough about the staff. Miss Becky, Miss Taryn, and Miss Kaitlin for also subbing for my kids. using online teaching and keeping them busy as well by still focusing on technique! I could not ask for a better staff. My daughter and my Son absolutely enjoy going there. The shows are wonderful and so well organized. I always help because I enjoy helping Madelyn and helping the studio for all they have done to be this positive force. Doing online classes and having lunch with our kids during this time of quarantine. I can not say enough about this studio. Even the receptionists are so helpful and polite when needing anything. Thank you to everyone that pushes my daughter - and encourages my daughter and son to enjoy, motivate, encourage, and being such a role model to my kids. If you are looking for a studio for your family-THIS IS THE ONE! They even allow you to try a class before enrolling to make sure you like it. Now that is amazing! I feel like part of a family there. It is with great pleasure that I encourage you to try this studio! See below the pictures of how much fun and family this studio makes us feel so welcome! The team does a big sister little sister to support the younger girls and my daughters big sisters have been amazing. The shows are also amazing if can even just come to Watch when we dance three times a year at Egyptian Theatre!

Once she reached high school, she notified her coaches that she was going to leave and focus on high school dance. Instead of gracefully accepting her decision, they sent her a nasty and catty form letter telling her she was no longer allowed to be at Dance Project. The letter was taking a disparaging shot at their character. What was the purpose of this? It's just disappointing and not a culture or studio I would suggest you would want your child to be apart of. Find schools that are supportive to all students as they go through their journey of dance as they outgrow their current teachers. I've heard they have treated many past students similarly. There is a disgusting pattern. Share your story.

I spent $540 (full price) on her classes for the September to May class and was never informed that she cannot participate in the Recital and subsequently was not learning the dance "properly" on Zoom; however my card was eagerly charged on the first day of each month. I was also never contacted and asked if my Zoom student wants to participate in the recital. I reached out and informed Trilogy 3 weeks in advance that she will be participating (could have used any basic yellow outfit since hers was sold out), but was told "No" since it would not "match" the other kids ( I mean who really cares! - these are 4-7 year olds!). During some classes she was not let in due to technical difficulties on their end (!) and I was never credited or refunded any fees. Had to call multiple times for any issues to be addressed. Will not be returning and subjecting my kid to this program ever again and would not recommend this dance school. They do not care for their dancers at all.

Our daughter started with Trilogy a year ago and we plan to stay a part of the Trilogy family for as long as my daughters little legs can dance! Not only is the owner a sweetheart, but they encourage children to dance their little hearts out and do it with incredible technique, strong will, and passion. The shows and competitions are magnificent honestly. Music is well thought out and the children look so happy dancing. The time put in by the entire crew (dancers,teachers, extra help and parents ) shows in the quality of performance. There is a difference between this dance school and your basic park district dance class. Nothing wrong with either but Trilogy definitely takes their quality of dance seriously. They teach the children responsibility that the children can take with them outside of dance and into their everyday lives as they grow. Not to mention how ADORABLE these dancers are!
