She hasn't looked back since her first class! Ms. Anna (her instructor) is so patient but firm, a great combo for four- and five-year-olds. They've learned super cute choreography for the upcoming recital, so the littles can feel just as accomplished as their older counterparts. And not only that, but the studio is incredibly body-positive. I'm a large woman myself, and Sarah, the owner, encouraged me to try lyrical or ballet with my color guard and winter guard background. I've only been going a few weeks, but Danielle (the instructor) and other students are phenomenal, supportive, and encouraging in my own journey of dance. The last part that I am grateful for is that the prices are not outrageous, and when there's a change Sarah is quick to communicate with parents. Other local studios charge insane fees, even for their classes and students who are not a part of the competitive teams - but RMDC doesn't do that, and for that I'm grateful. It makes dance more accessible to everyone financially as well as physically. Super grateful Sarah and her team decided to make Stafford home! We love them!

I would say the only drawback to this studio is the parking lot/maybe even the building. Two of the…read moredance rooms are spacious, but one of them is pretty small. The recitals are really impressive though. They put on quite the stage production, with great dancing, music, lighting, acting (no singing though). They do really well at competitions, but I think the community/friendships and fun aspect are more important than the scores. I do know several of their dancers have gone on to dance professionally, college dance teams, NFL cheerleaders, professional actors etc.

The recital is put on like a full on PRODUCTION and the kids are trained in a very caring and professional environment. My kids don't compete but the competition numbers we have seen are absolutely breathtaking. It is definitely one of the highest quality and creative studios in the area. The parking lot can be a bit crowded between classes but it's well worth it when you see how beautiful their shows are. I'm so happy we have become a part of the Barton & Williams dance family.

I cannot say enough positive things about this studio and Miss Karen (the owner/instructor). My…read moredaughter danced here for two years and two summers before we had to move and I'm dreading having to find another studio since SDC set the bar so high. Some things I love: *Miss Karen will take kids as young as 2 and doesn't require them to be potty trained. She believes that nobody is too young or too old to dance. *Wide range of classes available including an adaptive dance class specifically for those with special needs. *The focus is on fun, not on competition (though they do have a fabulous competition teams for those who want to compete). You won't ever hear any of the instructors yelling or scolding the dancers for their performance. Everybody is there to have fun while learning to dance. *Appropriateness. All dancers are required to either change clothes in the studio or wear a cover while going between car and studio. All costumes are age appropriate and proper undergarments are required. You won't see any teen strip teases or three year old little girls gyrating all over the stage at recital. Miss Karen really teaches her dancers how to respect themselves and entertain with their talent, not by showing off a ton of skin. *Cost. I suppose this one may be subjective, but I personally felt that the price of classes was extremely reasonable. My daughter took two classes and we were able to afford it without issue. I honestly don't think that there is anything that I DON'T love about this studio!

They only care about your child if you are on Competition and/or Company. The kids are very rude,…read moreonly the what my kid says "popular" kids get good parts. Tall good kids are in the front and short is in the back. DO NOT COME HERE. My daughter is currently a YouTuber, and has MUCH better technique at "Polaris dance Institute" AND she was a student 2 years ago, went to another studio "The dance spot" the same thing happened. Kids are mean, teachers only care about the kids who HAVE a future in dance and have been with them for a long time. I understand in dance there are "Clicks" and all, but teachers should NOT be apart of them. Please, I encourage you, if you would like to put your child in dance, DO NOT COME HERE! May I recommend Polaris dance Institute. You can find their Instagram and Facebook by just looking up at the name. PLEASE IN GODS NAME DO NOT JOIN THIS HORRIFIC STUDIO!

This review doesn't reflect the dancers because I'm sure they practiced hard all season however I…read moream extremely disappointed in the quality of the end of the year recital. This was my daughter's first year dancing with Amyclae. She danced for a different company last year and the year before in Chesterfield so we definitely have something to compare it to. I guess you could say the weekly classes were acceptable however for a 45min/once a week dance class... they sure did take a lot of breaks. Sometimes their class would end early. Anyway, back to the recital.. I have no words. My daughter's class performed for 1min 22 sec (yes, I used my stopwatch the entire time and I have screenshots) out of a 2hr recital. By far the shortest performance of the evening. Also, their music was chopped up and distorted. There were about 4-5 other groups who also had very short performances however most (there were 41 routines) were over 2min 30sec and others were over 3min long! The toddlers who had no clear routine (although they were very cute) had close to 3min of stage time. These girls were robbed. I feel robbed. I spent hundreds on this recital just for my my daughter to have a botched show. The song they danced to in it's original format was only 2min 28sec long so there was no reason for their music to be shortened at all. If time was an issue, some of the other groups who had over 3min should have been shortened to make it more equal or maybe the staff shouldn't have done a performance. I'm sorry but paying families should come before the staff at a recital. That's just good customer service. We had family travel in from out of town and they were all shocked by the quality. If convenience is what you're looking for, it's perfect however if you want to get your money's worth seek out a different company.
