My 2 daughters go to Moultrie academy. Carlie and her team are just so amazing and caring! One of my girls has cerebral palsy and special efforts have gone into including her in the classes so she could enjoy incredible experiences too! I cannot recommend more to anyone to come and have a look. It is simply a very very special place, filled with love and a team that helps kids build confidence and make them realize of their immense potential. Louis read more

My daughter just signed up for classes here for the first time since we moved to the area and she loves her ballet, tap and singing lessons. They train to help build confidence in public performance at a young age. Great place to have your kids learn to develop their skills and foster their talents. read more

Moultrie Academy - Dance Schools Near Me - Claremont, California

As a member of the Claremont community, one of my favorite things to do at city events is to stop and admire the students of Moultrie Academy as they perform. You can tell that the students receive great training and that they genuinely love what they do, which is a wonderful trait to instill in a young person. Thank you Moultries for helping to make the city of trees and PhDs beautiful through song and dance :) read more

My daughters have taken dance (tap, ballet and hip hop) and singing classes here for two years and we love this family-run studio. Their instruction is top-notch and they run their end-of-year recital with such ease that you can tell they have decades of experience. But the best part of Moultrie Academy is that they truly care about each of their students. They encourage everyone to try their best and to take pride in hard work. Highly recommend this studio for any music or dance lessons! read more

Carly was an awful teacher. I don't know what she went through or is going through, so I'm not going to judge her, but I just wanted to state the facts of my experience with her. I agree with the other poster that gave this place a bad review. She did berate and yell at me and at one time completely disregarded me at one of the performances that they held, telling me how unimportant I was. I felt so angry to the point that I wanted to do something to her after she said those words to me. Good thing I didn't. If you guys are thinking about bringing your kids here, I'd suggest you go somewhere else. I hope that none of your kids would have to experience what I had to go through with her. read more

We love the Moultrie Academy! My girls have been coming here for over a year and never thought once to leave. The environment is pleasant and everyone is very welcoming. Instructors, Carly and Melissa adjusts to the way the students learn best which help build their self confidence. This place is a safe zone for my daughters where they can be themselves without any negative judgment. The people at Moultrie Academy have become our second family and most importantly, my girls have made lifetime friends!! read more

The worst experience ever with this so called "studio". It's literally 2 rooms, no studio....and is short staffed, so the owner has to take payments and answer phone calls while she is supposed to be teaching classes. Private lessons, where she charges $2/minute (double what any other professional charges), are a joke! She leaves the room continuously, or is on her phone or computer rather than LOOKING at your child SING! Yes, to ensure proper technique, you do actually have to LOOK at the person! Such rude manners, and parents are literally scared to even ask the owner or her daughter a question. There is no dress code, and even the instructors are sloppy in appearance. They have been teaching the same dances, songs, choreography for the past 25 years, with nothing new. Definitely not worth the inflated prices. read more

Moultrie Academy is the best all around music, voice, and dance academy in the area. I have been coming here since I was 13 and have learned so much about myself as well as a singer and performer. I am currently 22 years old now and have grown so much since i first started coming here. Carly Moultire is the best at what she does. Not only has she made me the best singer I can be she has also been my mentor through life. Singing is my passion and she has made me love it even more. This place is my second home and i wouldn't recommend going anywhere else. Moultrie Academy is the best in town for everything from music to dance. You will not be disappointed if you come here! read more

My daughter has been going here for 2 1/2 years. She's in the hip hop class. She LOVES IT!! I have really watched her blossom into a wonderful dancer. Her confidence is soaring. Moultrie Academy has been worth every penny. The owner is involved in every aspect of her business. She's wonderful!! The energy she displays is incredible. And her knowledge in the dancing business is spot on! I would recommend this studio to anyone that is trying to find "just the right place", to bust a move!! read more

My son is going on his 5th year at Moultrie Academy. He takes voice and tap lessons and is in one of the performance groups as well. The teachers have years of experience and provide excellent instruction. The standards are high, but established in the context of a warm and supportive relationship with goals set so that they are always achievable by the child. It has made a tremendous difference in my son's growth not only with regard to the performing arts, but in his developing character as he learns how challenging tasks can be mastered with practice and hard work. My son feels proud to be part of this studio, and we are grateful to Moultrie Academy for all the care and dedication they put into their students. read more

Our experiences with the Moultries have been over many years in dance and vocal groups. Our daughter worked closely with Melissa in dance and with Carly for private voice lessons and as part of the Moultrie Singers for years. The experience has helped lead to my daughter's acceptance to a prestigious musical theater conservatory on Broadway. Individuals and groups from the Moultrie Academy are often invited to city events because their performances are outstanding. The expectations are high and the output is amazing. I feel strongly that the base that was begun with the Moultries- not only in technical skills but in overall work ethic- is one of the biggest contributing factors to my daughter's success as a performer. read more

I don't like to leave bad reviews so I've waited a few months since my Moultrie experience to post this. The first time my daughter took a dance class, all I heard the whole time was the singers in the other room getting yelled at. A girl was crying. Mrs. Moultrie came out and apologized, saying that it never happens and that it was just a bad day or something. A couple weeks later, a mother was upset at the way her daughter was being treated, so she went to talk to Mrs. Moultrie in the back room. Next thing I know, the two are screaming at each other for the next 20 minutes, curse words being thrown around- this was all when classes were going on. The students were left on their own while having to listen to all this. Then the dance teacher comes out and starts yelling at the mother too. And then, again, I'm told "Things like this never happen". It was the most unprofessional thing I have ever witnessed. The teachers were trying to make it seem like the mother was crazy. It seemed like I was the only parent that ever stayed for classes, so I wonder if other parents know the way their kids are being treated? I am all for discipline, I understand that kids need it for these types of activities. But this is not healthy discipline- they are being constantly berated and talked down too. The only reason we stayed for a second month was because my daughter liked the ballet class, but I pulled her out because it just wasn't a healthy environment. I felt uncomfortable every time I was there, having to listen to the yelling and the kids crying. We go to a much better, professional dance studio now, where the kids are actually learning and growing as dancers, and for a much better price. read more

This is a very poorly ran studio. It lacks the necessary personnel to properly and efficiently run a business. The turn over rate for students in groups is huge, and I realized why. The songs are the same from group to group, and have been the same for the past two decades. It's like walking into a studio from the 80's, costumes, songs, dance moves, everything! Even the studio is fluorescent like the 80's! The owner is an elderly grouch, who tells every parent and child they are great, and doesn't even attempt to help them improve. Then she'll suggest private lessons, which she charges $2.00 per minute, because she is so much more knowledgeable then any other private voice instructor. Performances are ALWAYS late, or there is ALWAYS some technical difficulty, which since they arrive 15 minutes prior to call time to begin set up, means shows are always super late starting. For the price, which is double that of any other studio, you would think they'd be better prepared and more professional. read more

Carly and Melissa are amazing teachers. My daughter has been attending Moultrie Academy since she was 5. After 4 consecutive years of both singing and dance, we are amazed at both her confidence level and skills. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a place where their child will develop a love for music and dance. read more
