This is a wonderful dance school for varying age groups. It has been around forever and is quite…read morethe historic prestigious dance school of Baton Rouge. My daughter attended for a couple of years and she loved it. They have a one way screen (so the kids aren't distracted) for parents who want to sit in and wait for their children to finish dance practice. These children are taught many forms of dance including ballet, tap, and tumbling. The prices are kind of high though and so are the picture packages and the dance recital costumes however that's anywhere you go if you're putting your child in dance lessons. Dance recitals are held at The B.R. River center.

Great experience with DeFrances! Convenient location on Coursey near Jones Creek in Baton Rouge…read more Very nice staff who work here. One of the best dance places in Baton Rouge that's been teaching girls and boys to dance and compete for years. My girls sadly only wanted to dance for a couple years, but if/when they ask to again, we'd gladly go back to DeFrances. My girls loved their teachers, and I always enjoyed the parent watch classes. DeFrances always chose beautiful costumes and were incredibly organized for the recitals. We danced with another local company before, but DeFrances definitely had it down to a science especially compared to the other place. Dance is an expensive hobby (in my opinion) but well worth it for the skills learned and confidence earned. I would bring my girls back here in a heartbeat and saw no reason to not recommend DeFrances to other parents out there looking to start their kiddos in dance.

I recently had a horrible experience with this dance studio. If you have a non caucasian child I…read morestrongly suggest you do not choose this studio and if your child already attends I suggest you seek another establishment. I am saddened that I witnessed racism amongst the children. Although I understand racism is a learned behavior and begins at home with family, a place of business should not be tolerating it. Especially with children! I am sad for the child who has learned already to discriminate but watching someone I care for deeply be subject to racism is heartbreaking. I can NOT sit quiet and let De Frances know that their refusal to even address the issue is ok. A young child has been forever effected by these interactions during an innocent dance class. No child should ever be made to feel ashamed over their skin color, ethnicity, religion, etc. I am appalled that adults in charge think this behavior is ok and claim there's nothing they can do or say because they can't control what other families believe. Really, REALLY De Frances? You want to send the message that little kids having to experience racism while in your care is a better option than addressing the issue. If you think addressing the problem is uncomfortable for you, imagine the little one whose confused about being discriminated against by fellow students over her skin color. And to learn you all just don't even care. Unacceptable.

Revolve 26 Is a Blessing -- One of the Best Studios in Baton Rouge!…read more My grandbaby started dancing at just 3 years old at another studio but let me tell you nothing compares to what we've experienced since joining Revolve 26. She's now 8 years old and has been with Revolve 26 for three wonderful years. The growth I've seen in her dancing, her confidence, and her passion is beyond anything I could have imagined. Mason, the owner, is simply amazing. Even though Revolve 26 is still considered a newer studio, Mason's talent, vision, and modern teaching techniques put her in a league of her own. Everyone I talk to in the Baton Rouge dance community always says the same thing: "If you're with Mason, stay with Mason." And I completely agree! Mason truly cares about her students. She teaches with discipline and love, pushing them to be their best while making sure they still have fun. My grandbaby absolutely loves going to class. She lights up when she's dancing, and I know it's because of the positive, empowering atmosphere Mason has created. Revolve 26 isn't just a place to learn dance it's a place where young dancers are nurtured, believed in, and brought to their full potential. I am so grateful we found this studio, and we're not going anywhere. If you're looking for a studio where your child will truly thrive, Revolve 26 is it!

The teachers are great, but the lady in the office/reception area and one of the women (NOT Ms…read more Mary - she's very sweet) who is there to open the door and "greet" the children rarely smile and seem to loathe being there. Any business that has children as a majority of its customer base should be friendly, warm, welcoming, and overall great with children. It is not the case here. Parents are NOT allowed in the lobby/waiting area, but the children are NOT properly supervised before and after class.

What an awesome ballet school!! My six-year-old daughter has been taking ballet lessons here for…read moresix months now and loves every minute of it! Her teachers are so sweet and patient with the kids and do a wonderful job teaching them classic ballet while letting them still be playful, silly kids! I love that they teach them ballet technique rather than just spending the year memorizing a dance routine for a recital. They do have what they call an "Informance" or an informal performance at the end of the spring semester to showcase what they have learned in class. It's much less expensive than a traditional recital because they wear their ballet uniform that they wear to class for the performance instead of costumes. This dance school is also tied to the Baton Rouge Ballet Theatre so there are lots of opportunities for the little kids to see the hard work it takes to be a real ballet dancer one day! My daughter is always bright-eyed seeing them all in their pointe shoes!

TC Matherne found his love for improv at Second City theater in Chicago. This is where many comedy legends have come from (Steve Carrell, Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert, etc.) He took that passion and brought it back to Baton Rouge to share with us. LATCo has been teaching and performing around Baton Rouge since about 2015 and now have a home in Mid-City BR. Don't miss out on the zoom classes during covid! It's been such a good time having a social outlet from home to learn improv and perform shows on Twitch TV. Great people, lots of fun, amazing teachers, don't miss it!

This is the best Real Estate school in Louisiana with the highest passing rate (around 82%) so I'm…read moresurprised I'm the first to review! I'm so thankful I found this school. Burk is an AMAZING teacher who genuinely cares about each of his students learning and passing. I struggle in a class setting because I am pretty sure I have ADD. But I struggle even more with online classes so I knew I needed the class setting. Burk teaches in a way that is very engaging. He has a very calculated way of teaching designed to give you mental breaks (telling stories, cracking jokes,) which prevents you from just feeling overwhelmed and spacing out. I really enjoyed his classes. He offers a two week course Mon-Fri 9a-1pm monthly. You can sit through it Again for free for up to 3 months. I sat through it twice because both of my boys got sick and derailed my study time. I was thankful for the opportunity to attend twice. In addition to learning the ins & outs of Louisiana and National Real Estate, he had professionals sit in to show us a mock closing, and talk about home inspections. He also offers night classes. Not only does he offer Baton Rouge classes but also Lafayette, Lake Charles, Mandeville, Monroe, and Metairie. I came for Louisiana Real Estate but he offers many courses including Mississippi Real Estate, Mortgage Origination, Home Inspection, Residential Appraiser, Insurance, Auctioneering, and Louisiana Broker. His wife Lisa teaches the math portions and she's wonderful, she also offers a math tutoring class monthly. I can't wait to pass my test and get my License! Thanks to Burk I'm convinced this will happen sooner than later. When you arrive, pass the building take the first right and park in the lot BEHIND the building (behind comic store.) He also has a computer lab available to all students to use all day during the week. This was extremely helpful for studying. Thanks Burk!
