The investment in her classes is truly worth it as I can already see her progress.

We attended a birthday party at Premier Dance & Athletics (PDA) over the weekend and our kids had a…read moregreat time! PDA is located in the same center as Untamed Chef, Studly Brewing, Pale Horse (OG location) and Kapers Eatery. I frequent this center often and hadn't noticed PDA before, but birthday host told me that it had opened over the summer. The party was well organized with a balloon arch and dance themed decorations (of which I learned they provide). The party table was set up in the front and the kids had free play in the gym/studio that is located in the back. They did a craft and also played games. About halfway, they blew up a bounce house in the gym and more fun was had. It's owned by a sweet family, managed and instructions led by a mom and daughter duo. I believe the mom has experience in cheer and all of the kids in the family was involved in the activities they instruct at the studio in one form or another. They seem to have a packed schedule every weeknight (attached a picture of the schedule) and the prices are very competitive to some of the other studios I have researched! They also have a retail section of gymnastics/dance apparel, so it's a one stop shop! Go out and support this family owned business and enjoy!

I will start off with what I liked about bringing my toddler here. They have plenty of gymnastic…read morestyle equipment, my toddlers favorites were the balance beams and the trampolines. They are very clean and have lots of great classes offered for different age groups. Parking is directly across the street with is convenient. The bathrooms are very clean and have a baby changing table. They are following social distancing precautions for the parents. They have spaced out chairs numbered for parents to wait, only one parents allowed. They have a limited amount of gymnastics apparel for purchase. The young lady at the front desk is always nice. As far as social distancing goes for the children (3-4 year olds), kids will be kids and get in each-others faces, this age group isn't required to wear face masks and it is hard to keep them properly distanced even with the instructors guidance and dividing the children into smaller groups. Hand sanitizer is provided to each child when they enter the building and when they exit. The only reason I can't give 5 stars is because my child's main instructor does not appear to have the appropriate training on how to properly interact with children. She does not have the teaching or leadership skills needed for small children. Her patience runs thin and I did not like her tone with the children or the way she spoke to them. I chose to withdraw my child for this very reason.

The classes with Mrs. Margaryta were intense in a way ... no talking .... pay attention... sleeping beauties.... hurry up.....but I grew up in similar environment around sports so I gave it a try for my daughter. I noticed though my daughter enjoyed way more classes with Margaryta's husband as sometimes he substituted for her. He was making it more fun. Kids overall had more fun with him during class. My daughter is a hardworking little girl. She listens and tries her best. But she is also sensitive to being pushed too hard because she gets frustrated with herself. It was over for me when she cried during a class over one exercise and on top of things she was sent again in the end of the class to work on the same exercise by herself! It was nice when her husband stepped in and helped her but we never went back after that. I feel like working with the kids you should be able recognize when the child is pushed too far. They are only 6 yo and it all should be combine with a little fun so they want to go back. She didn't and I have a hard time talking her into a new place . We moved and finally she will give it a try. Fingers crossed this time she will have an awesome experience. To the response : I understand my daughter sometimes needs some pushing but I don't agree with leaving her alone crying on the mat doing her best.

No warning, no discussion, and no follow up conversation after to see how they could help. What's more, my husband called to further investigate what the issue was and we were told she was 'misbehaving', but they couldn't tell us how. If a 2 year olds big feelings when they are struggling is seen as misbehaving then this is not the place for little kids. Hopefully this experience hasn't scared my daughter off of gymnastics for good. Additionally, this was all done in front of all the other parents, making me feel ashamed and humiliated. A staff member marched out of the office and ranted that she 'needed to be taken away' in front of everyone and with zero compassion. I left in tears. This is not a supportive or safe environment for any parent or young child.

However, when we received my daughter's…read morerecital costume for her performance in June, I noticed It was a bit revealing (especially for a preschooler). Despite reaching out to the school for three weeks to address this concern, we received no response. I have left messages and emails. I spoke to Miss Jessica and she was very dismissive. I will also note that I am not the only parent who had concerns. The lack of communication and customer service is concerning. The manager Miss Theresa is aware of the issue but has not taken any action (none of the parents have heard from her). If you're comfortable with poor communication and disregard for parental concerns, then this place might suit you. Disappointed and won't recommend
