The Walsh Kelley School of Irish Dance has been such a special part of our lives. My daughter is…read morenow learning from the same teacher who once taught me, which makes this journey incredibly meaningful for our family. Aine and Colleen have created something truly remarkable in both Charlotte and Greensboro--a school that not only teaches excellent technique and performance, but also fosters a deep sense of community and belonging. They truly get to know each student, challenging them with high expectations in the most supportive and encouraging way. What's especially beautiful to witness is the way the older dancers support and mentor the younger ones. There's a sense of tradition and continuity in watching that unfold, knowing one day our little ones will step into that same role. My daughter has grown so much--not just in her dancing, but in her confidence, resilience, and ability to work as part of a team. We're incredibly grateful to be part of this amazing school with phenomenal teachers!!

Aine Walsh Kelley is a wonderful and skilled teacher who is dedicated to the development and improvement of each dancer from beginner to champion level. The community at WKS is the best part - full of supportive, encouraging and kind dancers, teachers and parents!

Ms. Linda makes the lessons fun and stress-free. She really adapts her teaching style to the individual student and is quick to evaluate learning styles and picks songs for the children to learn that keep them interested and excited to learn. The cost of lessons is very reasonable and Ms. Linda is very flexible and fair with scheduling. We highly recommend Francis Music Studio and Ms. Linda!

For a small, intimate show, Stage Door Theater is such a fun choice. I saw Shear Madness here in…read more2009 and absolutely loved it. The show itself was hilarious, with great audience interaction and fun seating options. While I'm sure the seating may get changed up a bit for each run, my girlfriends and I sat together at a few small round tables near the front. There is also a bit of stadium like seating near the back. As mentioned, this is the perfect venue to be super close to the action on stage and actually interact with the actors. In Shear Madness, one of the characters (police office) came out to the bar area during intermission and continued to interview the witnesses. I really appreciate small venues like this that show kitschy shows. Here's hoping I'll catch more cool shows at the Stage Door Theater!

The box office staff were very friendly and polite, and the theatre was extremely clean, with a beautiful entrance and spacious foyer. There is parking immediately connected to the theatre, and also parking up the street to the left for the CPCC campus. It was very easy to locate and find parking and parking was surprisingly free --perhaps I parked in the wrong spot and didn't get towed?!?! Overall it was a fantastic experience and really enjoyed the venue. There are a couple of restaurants immediately connected to the theater, a Sbarro's and a Mexican fast-food spot, which honestly I'd avoid, they weren't that great of an experience --there is a separate review for those. Aside from that, great location.

The studio can also be rented for private events. The decor is modern, yet friendly and welcoming. When you enter the studio, you walk into a lobby which includes a reception area and bar (equipped with a large flat screen tv). There is a large dance area beside the lobby and smaller dance room in the back. The place is so charming that it makes me want to sign up for dance classes and plan a party!

My wife had purchased some dance lessons for my son and his fiancée for their upcoming wedding in…read moreJune, they both wanted to be able to have their first dance without embarrassing themselves :) We went along to participate and figured we could get a couple of lessons to help us as well. Since my son lives in Richmond VA they were going to have to space out some lessons over the next couple of months. For me and my wife, we decided to sign-up for a few for more lessons, since we live here in Charlotte, and the first experience was so good. We had taken some previous lessons when we lived in Florida that we quickly dropped. Our instructor Alyona was great at getting us comfortable over the first set of lessons we took as a couple. That was in early December, and now we are both taking couple lessons and single lessons, because we are having a lot of fun. Alyona and her partner Jake are great coaches for me and my wife, because as both professional dancers they know we are there to learn and just have fun, not looking to go pro. The facility is very clean and the entire staff is very friendly. I would recommend this dance studio to anyone who needs lessons or just wants to experience having some fun from a group of folks who love what they are doing. Five Stars for sure
