This dance studio is now called Studio 73. The owner of this school, Michele Edwards, cares more…read moreabout how much money she can squeeze out from the students than anything else. This dance studio also has a way of embarrassing and humiliating dancers when they miss rehearsals or deadlines. One of the overweight instructors yelled and humiliated my daughter in front of the class one time. We never complained about it because we assumed that that's the way missed rehearsals are dealt with here. Also, my daughter was not allowed to participate in a competition that was already paid for because she missed a rehearsal to support her brother on TV. If your child goes to this school, make sure you arrange your family's life around Michele's agenda. There's no such thing as refunds. Once she has your money, it's hers. Everything is expensive, including her $50 recital DVDs! She acts like she's such a good Christian but there's nothing Christ-like about the way she runs this business.

Lights, Camera, DRAGONS!!!!!…read more While visiting Charlotte planning my trip to charlotte I noticed the Children's Theatre of Charlotte was putting on one of my daughter's favorite children's book, Dragons Love Tacos! I bought tickets before we even had a hotel booked! We arrived the day of with our dragon in hand (that came with our copy of Dragons Love Tacos 2) and my toddler son decked out in his dragon sweat suit. We were ready! Our show was on a Saturday at 3pm. If you arrived at 2pm there was a free behind the scenes tour of the theater. We of course took full advantage! 2pm we were squished with many of the other patrons all ready for the free tour. We were greeted and then moved into the theater. It seamed like over half the audience that day showed up for the tour! This made it difficult to move as a group through the backstage and hear everything being said. Was it cool to see where they make the sets and store the props? Yes! It was great feature I am thankful they offered but maybe needs more organizing for large groups. Another little tip for their tour guides, don't tell us what we cant see (costume area) because of the large group. Just bummed me out (and if it wasn't said I wouldn't have thought we missed out!) Also it was posed before the show arts and crafts available. Once the tour ended we were asking around about the crafts. we saw people with crafts. People had no idea! More organization needed as the crafts were taking place inside the library! We showed up with only a few minutes to do crafts because we wasted time asking people about the crafts! The show... not totally like the book but close. My 10 year old thought it was a little too young for her and my 1 year old was quiet for the whole hour! The 4 year old with us, he was mesmerized! So I would suggest when they say children's, aim for kids under 8 here. The production was pretty good with great visuals and a great destruction scene! This is not low budget by any means. Cool thing they did, after the show they let people stay behind and showed how the crew talks to one another on their headsets to make the action happen on stage! (This was geared more toward a 10 year old as opposed to a 4 year old understand what was really happening.) What could have been better? Let people enjoy the show more. The staff working in the audience were intense. I was approached by a kid, like 12 years old, who told me I couldn't give my 1 year old his bottle and the other two kids had to put away their candy. At no point at the beginning of the show was an announcement made about food/drinks in the auditorium. I am a rule follower. I would oblige. But not letting my 1 year old get his bottle seams a lot ridiculous! I kept watching the ushers go up to many other patrons about use of cell phones and everything else. It was distracting. Calm down folks. We came for the dragons. Speaking of which, I told my daughter when we bought the tickets: I don't know how they will make dragons appear on stage so it could be amazing or terrible but either way we will never forget what we will see. Truth: we will never forget. (The Dads wholeheartedly agree!)

The instructors didn't even look like they knew what they were doing. They kept putting the recital off this is probably why they should have put it off till July maybe then it would have been better. Then they wanted to sell 40 dollar CDs!!! Ha ha for what a hot mess? They were not professional and didn't even say hey or smile. I know I saw one lady getting in a young girls face I have no idea if it was her child or not but I know she worked there! If she talks to hers that ways she will talk to mine that way. My kids won't attend again. The costumes were beautiful but that was it!!! The 7 year old girls was the best no one else and some of the girls they should have made wear a sports bra there were boobs everywhere!! It's not supposed to be hat way I danced for 13 years and we we're on point what happened to one two three four and one two three four???????? Horrible school!!! And rude staff.

Aine and Colleen have created something truly remarkable in both Charlotte and Greensboro--a school that not only teaches excellent technique and performance, but also fosters a deep sense of community and belonging. They truly get to know each student, challenging them with high expectations in the most supportive and encouraging way. What's especially beautiful to witness is the way the older dancers support and mentor the younger ones. There's a sense of tradition and continuity in watching that unfold, knowing one day our little ones will step into that same role. My daughter has grown so much--not just in her dancing, but in her confidence, resilience, and ability to work as part of a team.
