I love Umbiance. My daughter has been with them since 2018/2019, we were introduced by my cousin…read morebecause my niece attended, and she loved it so we watched a performance at a Nation al Night Out Event and immediately fell in love. They welcomed my baby girl with open arms. Umbiance was the first studio to take their time with my daughter and work with her. This is more than just a dance studio, but a family and I would recommend Umbiance to any and everyone. I have even started adult classes and it is amazing. The family atmosphere is amazing, and they have so many opportunities for my baby girl to grow and guide her in the right direction. All of the instructors at Umbiance take their time and care about all of their students from the mini's to the adult dancers like me and again We Love This Dance Family.

I grew up dancing myself, both of my daughters danced throughout their childhood, and now I have…read morethe joy of watching my granddaughters dance. With so many years spent around dance studios, I can honestly say I have never experienced one that felt so unprofessional, unwelcoming, and disorganized. Classes regularly started late, and there were three different teachers for the same class in a single season, which created no consistency for the children. The atmosphere also felt very cliquish, with teachers and staff mainly interacting with the regular competition families while newer and recreational families felt overlooked. The studio lobby and restrooms were often not clean, and overall communication and organization were poor. During parent observation times, the studio allowed people without children in the class to come in, making it difficult for actual parents and family members to comfortably enjoy watching their child dance. What disappointed me most was the obvious favoritism. The office staff often came across as rude and impatient, especially toward younger children. One example that stood out was a 2-year-old being rushed and treated impatiently while trying to choose a piece of candy, while another child connected to a competition family was freely given candy without needing to earn tickets like the other students. It created the impression that children were treated differently depending on how much money their family spent at the studio. Children notice these things, and families do too. Sadly, almost all of the children who started in the class at the beginning of the season ended up leaving. We were hoping for a positive, welcoming dance experience, but unfortunately that was not what we found.

I'm preparing you all for a lengthy review. It's crazy from…read more2-4 years ago to a year ago, 7 months ago and the two recent they pretty much have the same complaints and issues in regards to the studio being the definition of mean girls and treating students poorly. One of the recent reviews I saw left, the owner calls out a person named Jessica which my name is Jessica which is very crazy knowing I have had very recent issues with them that all of a sudden it's assumed I am associated with the person who left the review. I have no idea who that person is, I beleive the owner assumed he's my husband which if she looked up my account with the studio they will see A) my last name is not the last name of the review and B) my husbands name is on the account and his name is not the name of the review. So to call out and assume it was my family to leave that review is very unprofessional and unnecessary for false assumptions. The latest review after the two only star reviews that was left by kids of the studio and I know this because it's two very common kid names that are well known of the studio. The review before those two, the owner calls her out by stating they don't believe she's associated with the studio because they can't find her name in their records. Just because someone's name isn't in the record doesn't mean they haven't experienced the studio and entitled to a review. For example, my daughters grandmom takes the girls to their class every week for me. She's not on the account but she is well aware of how the studio is and has her own complaints about this place. From day one the parents who are clearly a part of the dance team and sit in the lobby are very rude and caddy. I watched a little girl come out of the studio and asked this one mom for help with her costume and the mom didn't acknowledge her and walked away. We have never been acknowledged when we come into the studio other than last Tuesday when my mom brought the girls all of a sudden the moms immediately says "hi girls!" Which is odd because not once have they ever said hi to them before and all of a sudden after the studio knows I had issues with them the very next week they all say hi? The thing that sparked my frustration the most is being told I have to pay for an entire month of May Tuition when the recital is on the 8th of May. Other studios ends the tuition once recital happens. I expressed how unfair that is and I don't care if it was in the contract. It's absolutely ridiculous. She first laughed in my face and told me she would send me to collections if I didn't pay and the girls wouldn't be in the recital which I already paid in full. This takes us to last Tuesdays class. As I mentioned after all of this we walk into the studio and get greeted. Very convenient. Then costumes were handed to my mom for the girls which also let me point out they were the only two to get their costumes Tuesday and all the other girls already had theirs and they were in class the previous Tuesday. The dance teacher asked for the girls to try them on before class but class was about to start but she kept pushing. So they did and then the dance teacher started the dance and my girls had to rush in so they didn't miss the start of class. I'm pretty sure my girls also wasn't measured and if they were they were measured severely wrong. My youngest who is 2.5 barley 30 pounds was given a size 4T/5T which fell right off of her and also how do they expect me to get her costume altered when the recital was 4 days away. So long story short I would highly reccomend to save yourself the heartache and pick one of the other amazing studios in the area for your dancer. Also be fully prepared for a bunch of excuses back from the studio on justifying their actions

We rented the Little Fish Swimming Pool in Fredericksburg (Central Park) location. I must say, I…read morewas very impressed with the location and the space. The children had a great time. Little Fishers provided 2 pizzas and some drinks from The local pizza place. We weren't sure if it would be enough, so we ordered more. Little Fish provided more than enough pizza for all the kids, the parents and probably some random people in the street. Everything for my son'3rd party was great except the TV's in the party areas did not work. It is hard to left 2-4year old attentive when they are finished swimming. We wanted to show Mickey's Fun House on the TV's. We talked to the staff on numerous occasion and still didn't get any assistance or even a discount for lack of TV. Other than that, I enjoyed the party, but would caution people to verify the everything works. On a good note all the kids were provided with floaties and splash splashed until they could splurge splash anymore
