Antonio is an exceptional dance instructor with a teaching style that is positive and highly motivating. He has a unique way of breaking down dance moves into manageable steps that make it easy for dancers of all levels.

It is…read moredifficult to articulate how much my daughter has grown in her confidence, ability to express herself, and maturity because of Roxanne Claire and her wonderful teaching staff. We love Claire School of Dance! I cannot recommend it enough. The teachers are all very well trained and great with kids. I believe they are all American Ballet Theater certified. The owner, Roxanne Claire, is extremely involved in day-to-day operations and teaches a number of the classes. My daughter loves learning ballet and other dance styles from Ms. Claire. In addition to teaching good technique and making it fun for the dancers, I've found that the school also promotes good body image, which is especially important to me as the father of a soon-to-be tween. I highly recommend the school for dancers of any age.

My child learned so many amazing things and was excited to go to school each day. After infant 2, you no longer get activity logs or pictures of your child even though it state ms you will in the parent handbook that you sign. 45 day withdrawal notice without proration so be sure to time it perfectly or you'll lose out on your deposit. My child no longer enjoys going to school and haven't been able to connect with the new teacher with the exception of 1 that has since resigned. 2 of the 3 teachers in Toddler class is no longer there within such a short period of time. . The food is unhealthy (Apple Jacks, ect ) for a 20 month old even-though my child feeding directions show nothing with added sugar. I really want to like this school but with the higher ratios than all of the neighboring schools and multiple undocumented accidents leaving my child with marks and no explanation I just can't recommend this school. $1700 per month, + $150 quarterly supply fee... not bad but not worth it for what you get

If you are reviewing dance studios online as I know most people tend to do let me just say this - this is where you want to go.

Thanks to yelper Melissa for your review of Rebecca! We decided to reach out to Rebecca based off…read moregreat reviews and found the perfect package to fit our needs and within our budget. Rebecca was very quick at responding to our emails and is really informative in each email she sends you. There is a 5 class wedding package that worked perfectly for us. A few months before the wedding, we weren't sure if we wanted to spend extra money on taking dance lessons for the wedding, but as the date was getting closer, we were feeling the pressure of putting together something, so we decided to check out yelp and came across The Dance Whisperer. We felt the price was reasonable, and I had confidence based on reviews that Rebecca would be able to help us from looking ridiculous during our first dance and sure enough she made us look amazing! Everyone raved about how great we were and even my mom said our first dance was so amazing and my mom RARELY compliments anyone or anything. We scheduled our five sessions after our first class to make sure we could get in the books before the wedding and that was not a problem since Rebecca had perfect times for us in the evenings after work. Rebecca is so personable and even though we have only met her 5 times, we felt very comfortable with her in each class which was kind of frightening in the beginning because we were both inexperienced with dancing, but she started off with basic steps to boost our confidence and gave us a little preview of what to expect for the next class as a bit of homework to practice at home. Thank you Rebecca for your help!!

It really didn't take too long before we could get some basic steps down and tried incorporating some interesting turns into our routine, and she was very patient in making sure both of us had a firm grasp before moving onto the next level. Our wedding dance had some interesting turns, spins, and steps with a big finish incorporated into it. The stress and anxiety of it all leading up to "The Big Day" didn't help, and at one point my hubby took a wrong step, but was able to correct it flawlessly without anyone noticing--all thanks to her! Each appointment is 45 minutes. EXACTLY 45 minutes. If she says be there at 5:30pm, you better not knock on that door at 5:29pm (and steal a minute from the previous couple) or at 5:31pm because you already cut into your time slot. Of course, you can double book. That said, she is very professional and methodical in her guidance, and seems to live and breath the art of dance!

The best dance studio (and best kept secret) in the Houston metropolitan area. My daughter has only…read morebeen here 2 months and has learned more in that short time than the 2 1/2 years we spent at the Met. As a former dance teacher myself, I couldn't dream of a better place for my child to dance. The Lab is spacious, clean, and bright. Both of the studios have viewing windows, so parents can observe their child's classes. There are even 2 locker rooms for changes between classes. When I first saw the schedule, I thought the classes were long in duration for the 6-8 year olds. I was wrong, the teachers are so amazing that they keep them engaged for 90 minute ballet lessons! The classes are longer than most that you will find in the area, because of the individual attention they give to each student. I can't say enough about the instructors. I have had a pleasure to observe all of them. They are all professional, and have great choreography. The best thing is that they all make great corrections to technique and posture in a positive manner. They do not lazily overlook things that can lead to injury. Also, the most important is their is no favoritism. Everyone gets the same amount of love and attention. From talking to other parents in the studio, my daughter isn't the only one practicing everywhere we go (even the grocery store). Most importantly, all of the girls beg to come to The Houston Dance Lab, every day of the week. As if 5 hours a week isn't enough. All in all, he instruction tops the charts and the Lab is a HAPPY place. We love it here, and are so excited to watch the Lab grow.
