This studio is a mess of disorganization and unprofessionalism. On multiple occasions, classes have…read morestarted late or been completely canceled, often without advance notice to parents. Children have been left sitting in the lobby for the entire class hour with no communication whatsoever. And no, this wasn't a one-time fluke--it's happened more than once in just a few months. Similarly, instructors find it acceptable to gossip with the children about other instructors, management, and parents who have left and returned to the studio. Apparently, it's considered disloyal to leave one studio, try out another, and then return. Still, they will gladly take your money and talk unfavorable behind your back to everyone, including the other minor students. When I approached the front desk, hoping for clarity on the recurring late and nonexistent class with one particular instructor (and maybe even a solution), I was met with a wall of excuses. Apparently, according to the desk staff, it's "common in the industry" for dance instructors to show up late or not at all. Attempts to de-escalate the tone of the front staff were futile, as they were in fighting mode from the start--a sign that this must be a constant defensive state due to ongoing operational issues. Another strategy - an attempt to escalate the issue or speak to the owner was blocked. I was refused contact info and told the owner couldn't be disturbed to come out of their office. Rather than acknowledging the issue or offering any kind of apology, the front desk doubled down with blame-shifting and illogical reasoning. My personal favorite was the suggestion that it's the child's responsibility to call their parent if class is cancelled (20 minutes after they are dropped off), because "many six-year-old students have phones these days." If that's your communications protocol, it might be time to rethink your business model. I was told refunds would not be issued (even though none had been requested), no attempt was made to rectify the situation, and no one took responsibility. There were simply more excuses piled on top of indifference and anger at being bothered by this disturbance, daring to have an adult conversation about an issue concerning a place where I take my child for education and care. To the owner: If you're reading this, please understand that you may have some excellent instructors - one which apparently left recently because of all the drama. But those instructors--and your studio's reputation--are being undermined by front desk staff who seem more invested in deflecting blame and stonewalling than in supporting your students or maintaining basic professionalism. Parents and kids notice. And they talk.

They didn't have the skills as other students had in the class because they both never done anything like this before but (Mr Burks I believe his name is) assured me as long as they had fun they'll catch up in no time to all the other students. So I signed them up! I highly recommend this place. I've only interacted with the two men and a lady online to ask questions and every time I have seen them they have been very friendly and welcoming to myself and children. If you're looking for a clean, affordable place to have your kids dance I recommend checking this place out!

Review of Arthur Murray Dance Studio - Redlands…read more I took my wife and kids here as a birthday surprise for my wife. Let me be completely honest: I'd rather sit in a dentist's chair than go dancing. That's just not my thing. But the team at Arthur Murray Redlands changed everything. From the moment we walked in, the staff made the experience welcoming, engaging, and--shockingly--fun. They didn't just teach us how to dance; they helped us connect, laugh, and create a memory that my wife will never forget. Watching her light up with joy as we learned together is something I'll always carry with me. And for that, this studio and its incredible team will always have my deepest thanks.

We avoided going to a formal dance class because the song we chose is not the traditional first dance and we are not dancers whatsoever and Jaz is witness to that. The last thing we wanted to do is stress over a dance. With her experience and positive outlook, she created choreography for our unique song. It was a pleasure attending her private dance lessons and thank you for working with our schedule. Everyone complimented us on our dance moves. I would also like to thank you for taking a risk on us. Our first dance was full of awe. Now I understand what all the fuzz is about when it comes to your dance studio.

I will start off with the positives. The front office staff have always been very kind,…read moreprofessional, and courteous. The dance lessons were okay and the facility is clean and in a nice shopping center. What turned me off to the studio though is the show and how it was run. First off the Stage manager at the Merry and Bright show was very rude. I got reprimanded and talked to in an unprofessional tone several times while volunteering back stage. Backstage was chaos and volunteers were given no direction besides "keep these children quiet". The dress rehearsal went on for a very long amount of time. My child was in the 8th act out of 29 acts and we were not done until 8pm (with a 6 start time). My child was up way past any acceptable hour for a 3 year old because the rehearsal lasted so long. Also because of the chaotic nature back stage I was fearful that my child might slip away and no one would notice so I stayed backstage even when I wasn't volunteering because I felt they didn't have a good eye on the kids especially the young ones. Lastly the other kinder-theater classes (same age and skill level) were much more prepared for their performance. I thought the teachers would be with the kids or perhaps run them through their dance moves a few times before performance. But this was not the case. My child's teacher was in several acts before and after the little kinders preformed so she wasn't there with them at all. This was extremely poor planning on the part of the studio to put all of her dances before and after her classes dance. Of course all the littles froze on stage because they are three and they played the wrong music. I got a stern talking to on two occasions for miming the dance moves to them when they got scared and froze. I will be canceling our membership and will have my daughter go to a new studio.
