Such a positive and welcoming atmosphere as soon as you enter the studio. Their instructors are fantastic, from Miss Jane, the preschool and tumbling teacher to Miss Tia, the tap and ballet teacher. Miss Jane has a Master's in Education and you can tell by the superb academic curriculum and instruction. Miss Tia has a strong background in dance and relates so well to the little people. It is a joy to watch the pre-schoolers thrive under their guidance and have so much fun!

From the moment I stepped in the door at Body Rock, I was welcomed, made to feel like I belonged, and treated with such kindness and respect.

I would be so incredibly ashamed if I was the owner of the business. My daughter was in their hip…read morehop/acro class from October 2018 to her June 7th recital (2019). From start to finish we had horrible experiences with this school. Their only concern is money money money. The classes are $45 a month, plus $16 T-shirt's, $71 dance outfits, $18 recital tickets, sweatshirts and sweatpants, etc. etc. They're also trying to get $45 for June tuition when the recital was the 7th and the only thing before that was rehearsal and no normal classes, after I already spent $126 on recital tickets. Add to all their random extra costs, they only take cash, I personally own a square and no business so the absolute only reason I can think of to only take cash is tax evasion (maybe I'm wrong but I can't think of anything else). The woman in the office is the by far the rudest person I've ever run into in a customer service setting. She has no regards for the students or parents experience as long as they get paid. My daughter was measured for the recital costume by staff and they measured her 4 inches off which put her in a full size up. When we received it it was HUGE, the office tried blaming the costume company saying they probably ran out of the medium and only when I pressed further did they remeasure her and look in their order book to find the error they made. I consulted them about a partial refund because there's no way that I'm spending $71 on an outfit a full size too big for my child. They altered it after pictures were already done and told me that there's no way the owner would do any amount as a refund. As a business if you make a huge error like that and it's on paper responsibility should be placed on you. I told them that I was withholding a month tuition until I could speak to the owner about a partial refund. That was in March and I still haven't heard anything. The night of the recital we had to drive down to California (13 hours) and had an appointment the following day, my daughters act was in the first half so during intermission I went to the back door to ask someone to bring her out so we could leave. The woman from the front office said they wouldn't let any dancers go before the end of the show (another full hour). I walked away, way too heated to even start with her, when I went back she was gone and there was women in the back I'd never seen before that hurried to get her. I'm not entirely sure when I signed over my custodial rights to them so they could hold my daughter in a building without my consent. During their full studio rehearsals and after recital parties they pack their building so full I can imagine it's even close to their limits set by the fire Marshall and definitely could see it being a safety hazard if anything were to happen. To add to the poor business practices, they took off the option to review them of Facebook. Maybe they were getting too much honest feedback. All the good reviews I've seen are from employees. Overall this was BY FAR the worst experience I've ever had at a business. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE!

I am very new to taking these types of classes, and that was not the case for everyone else. However, the instructor was super helpful in guiding me as much as possible. Everyone was supportive of my journey here and welcoming for being a newbie. I took this beginners class because I wanted to see if I wanted to invest money and into taking a 7 to 8 week class. I had a great time and I really enjoyed learning and developing the little skills that I was able to within that timeframe. I think taking one of the beginner class series would be the most helpful. I am glad that I enjoyed the vibe as there was people of all different shapes and sizes who were able to do amazing skill work. I also really like this place because they do shows around the city.
