Ms. Ann and her team exceed this standard.

Thank you for all you do for us and the community. -Tony Billings

My daughter has been attending Studio 3 since 2010. I've…read morehad all 3 of my children there for classes. Emma, the owner, loves these kids and goes above and beyond for them every chance she gets. I've never seen someone more committed to kids as she is. I consider myself to be a protective parent and I trust Emma and the staff with my kids wholeheartedly. Throughout 2020 they have worked tirelessly to put safe systems and procedures in place to continue providing kids with opportunities to safely rehearse and even perform on stage! Following all city / county / state guidelines and mandates. Even going beyond mandated guidelines when it made it safer for the kids, their families, and staff. Studio 3 is my daughter's "home away from home" many staff and students have become family to her.

In response to Sandra's review, I was at the understudy show as a parent and have a completely…read moredifferent take. The kids loved that the director came in and the actor whose line they took was completely aware because the director came in at the time the usual actor does. The actor then came in from a completely different spot. I would imagine the rest of the cast was not uneasy but instead trying hard not to laugh. These kids had begged the director to do the whole part and he said no. This quick change was done in response to their begging. The second scene was also a quick dance in a circle with other cast members and was not dangerous. It was just enough for the audience to realize it was a joke and then they left. My daughter loved these two parts that were done for the understudy show and the kids realize anything can happen. The kids don't necessarily get a full run through but that happens at most places with understudies. Sometimes you get to have a run through but not always. The lifts were actually done by a lot of the same cast. One actor actually came in just for the lift because he did it when he was his main role. The track was definitely legally purchased when they bought the rights. The play stops and gos with music because that is what it does. There was nothing wrong with this performance and my daughter and I loved it

If I could give zero stars, I would. I would strongly…read moreadvise against doing business with Dance Deluxe. Our experience has been nothing but unprofessional, unethical, unorganized and frustrating. They have been deceitful about fees, restricting access to our payment records, and refusing to provide a clear breakdown of charges. Despite their claim that we owed costume fees, I reviewed my payment records (before they suspiciously revoked my access to the parent portal) and confirmed that all costume fees had already been paid. When we challenged them on this, instead of addressing our concerns, they shut down communication and made it unnecessarily difficult--seemingly because we decided to discontinue dance. Additionally, they are refusing to refund summer recital costume fees, yet won't provide any information on when we can pick them up. If the recital fees won't be refunded either, they should at least refund the remaining balance on our account. But instead of handling this professionally, they simply refuse to engage. Beyond the financial issues, there is a lot of favoritism at this studio. Certain dancers and families are clearly prioritized, while others are treated unfairly. When concerns are brought up, the staff is always extremely defensive instead of being open to feedback or resolution. Another major issue is their staffing. Instead of hiring experienced instructors, they rely on their older teenage dancers to teach classes. While some of these teens may be talented dancers, they are not trained teachers. I often found that if I wasn't sitting outside the room, the young instructors wouldn't effectively manage the class or keep students engaged. It's completely unprofessional to expect parents to monitor the instructors just to ensure they do their jobs. On top of that, the instructors are rude, unprofessional, and even make fun of students instead of creating a supportive learning environment. Rather than being encouraging, they act dismissively and unkindly toward certain dancers. No child should feel uncomfortable or belittled at a place that is supposed to foster growth and confidence. The facility itself is also disgusting. They never clean or sanitize the dance rooms or dressing rooms, and the whole place smells like urine and feet. For a place where kids are constantly moving, stretching, and sitting on the floors, basic hygiene should be a priority--but clearly, it isn't. A professional business should be willing to justify its charges, provide qualified instructors, and treat all customers with respect--even if they choose to leave. Instead, Dance Deluxe operates in a way that feels dishonest and retaliatory. If you're considering this studio, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere to avoid the same headaches we've experienced. If anyone would like to reach out to me to discuss this further, feel free to contact me. I'm happy to share my experience in more detail.

There is no question that the studio is excellent. It is also something of an enigma; it is a…read more501c3, which means it is a tax-exempt, non-profit. They also receive performing arts grants, and all of their office staff are volunteers. When they moved their studio, they asked parents to do that for them (rather than paying a moving company like you and I do), and they posted a wish list of pricey items they wanted parents to buy and donate to them for their fancy new location. So no taxes, free grants, free labor, crap tons of tuition dollars, enrollment fees, ticket sales, costume mark-ups, and stage parent donations etc... Someone said to me, "the studio is a non-profit, so we really ask the parents to step up and volunteer." The studio doesn't pay taxes, enjoys free grants from those who do pay taxes, doesn't pay half of their workforce, and is therefore in need of more free labor? What a genius business model. Sign me up!

This may be the perfect dance studio for many students. It was not for my student…read more One of mine is a competitive level dancer with many years experience. He began classes in July when most of the students hadn't started yet. It was wonderful then. He got lots of individualized attention and the teachers were knowledgeable and knew lots of methods that he hadn't encountered before. Once the students returned when school started, everything changed. Focus and structure were gone from the classes. He was unable to try out for the competitive teams being new to the area, but the recreational classes were not able to accommodate his experience. Rules were not enforced. Kids were disruptive. They wore inappropriate clothing both for age and function. Things like bikinis or full length school skirts. And even though the school has a wonderful male instructor and other male students, many kids told my son that he couldn't dance because he was a boy. He felt unwelcome and didn't get the camaraderie and instruction he was used to at his former studio. There is so much potential in this studio, but the lack of discipline and cooperation among students made it a bad fit for my dancer.

I was looking for a mid-morning class time and for her to learn technique. Studio R Ballet is clean, organized, and everyone has been so kind. The dance teacher is so sweet to the little girls, my daughter loves going to class. The class seems to have structure and she is learning technique, she loves practicing at home. I do wish they would have a homeschool program (looks like they take ESA!) because afterschool class times aren't super convenient. We live farther and traffic is rough if we were to continue going here as she gets older. Overall, we absolutely recommend!

Trust me when I say it's the BEST classical ballet school in the East valley! The studio itself is gorgeous and the instructors are highly qualified. The environment is positive and feels "like a family". The teachers have been a blessing and have become great mentors for my girls. Not only have they taught them proper technical training, but also how to be great, hard-working people. We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful school. Special shoutout to Ms. Robbin - the owner/artistic director-- you are truly an amazing mentor to my girls and I can't thank you enough for the amazing love and support you've shown my kids. If you are looking for a state of the art classical ballet school that teaches with love, but trains them to be strong dancers, Studio R Ballet is it!
