Ms. Labronya is awesome! My daughter has been taking dance lessons here for seven years now, and…read moreshe loves it. She has taken ballet, jazz, tap, & hip hop. She also participates in the yearly summer recital. Both regular and competition classes are offered here. Competition dances are held throughout the year, but the recital is only held once in the summer. Both class and solo dancers perform during both. The dancers have also performed during the local Christmas parade in previous years. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering the amount of time spent working with the dancers to make sure they have the routine down before a competition or recital. Ms. Labronya is amazing with the dancers and treats them all as if they are her own children. She is very down-to-earth and understanding. If your child is interested in dance and you live in (or near) Smith County, I highly recommend Ms. Labronya at Carthage Dance Studio.

There is truly no place like Barfield! I began my dance career there when I was nine years old. Not…read moreonly did they give me a lifelong love for dance but they encouraged me to pursue dance as a career path. The women that own, direct, and teach there work so hard to create opportunities for their dancers to learn and shine in a safe and healthy environment. Dancers there are not just another student but a member of the dance family. I formed many lasting friendships at Barfield and I truly would not be the person I am today without the guidance and support from the staff there! After teaching in FL for a few years I was ecstatic to be able to come back and rejoin them as a fellow staff member. Now my little sister dances there and I can't wait for my future kids to do so as well!

As a parent of two daughters who danced there for 16 years each, I have had a lot of experience…read morewith BSD. Both my daughters were on the competition team for many years. When they were little, BSD was a warm, welcoming, nurturing home away from home for them. They learned and grew as dancers. When my oldest joined the competition team that had just been formed, I was able to compare and contrast what they were learning with other studios. This is when I realized that the quality of instruction was just barely par. They wanted to stay because they had deep relationships with the other dancers. Fair enough. Things changed after my oldest left for college, and my youngest was one of the most senior dancers. Although my oldest had found proof that the director had flat out stolen competition choreography and presented it as her own, the other parents opted not to speak to her about it. This was the start of the owner and directors revealing themselves. We were repeatedly overcharged, and when we requested itemized invoices, they did not even add up. One of the last statements had overcharged us $1500. My youngest became critical of the director and lack of professionalism. Likewise, she found that she could not trust her because she would tell lies to make up for her shortcomings. Weekly, my daughter would come home from the studio crying because of her experience at dance. Trying to talk with them yeilded no relief. The injury that really damaged our relationship with the family and the owners / director is when they secretly inlisted the teen and junior dancers in a local competition and intentionally left out the senior dancers. When confronted with this, they lied and denied that it was a secret, although none of the other senior dancers knew about it until it was over. Worse, they attempted to put the blame on the senior dancers. All was downhill from there. Some of the best and most dedicated dancers left. But my daughter opted to stick it out because the end of the season was nearing. She danced in the recital, but only a few weeks before she was to compete in the nationals, they cut her and another dancer who they deemed were troublemakers I suppose because they complained about being mistreated over and over again. They cut her from the team by email and would not accept a phone call or a meeting. Our family had been with that school for nearly 20 years, but they never even would show us enough respect to have a conversation about it. I even designed their new studio for them and never sent them an invoice. We were dedicated parents and supporters of that school. Even though that was months ago, my daughter still cries when she looks at her old dance bag. "They loved me. Why did they treat me so badly? Why won't they even talk to me? I dont understand. They taught us to be strong, independent women, and to stand up for ourselves and each other, but when we did they kicked me off the team without even a goodbye or an explaination" is what she just said to me through tears. As a father, this breaks my heart. Not because they mistreated, misguided, misled, and treated my daughter so poorly, but because they also crushed her spirit. If you send your daughter there, dont be fooled by the chandeliers and the sweet smiles. Those women will stab you and your child in the back.

What a fantastic place to learn how to dance! The owners are great and are well respected…read more I started learning not so long ago and am so very pleased with the patience, attention, and attitude of all of their instructors. There are no hidden fees or BS like other studios. I attended classes at a different place in Nashville and ultimately signed up with this studio. They have been OVER THE TOP at helloing me learn. There is NO BETTER studio than BDS in Southern Kentucky or Middle Tennessee. Hands down the best. I travel from St. Louis due to the level of instruction that I receive from them.

Up front: the instruction was fantastic. Honestly, the instructor I worked with, Paul, was…read moreknowledgeable, patient, attentive, and welcoming. The lesson was great. Unfortunately, the studio's communication and people skills are sorely lacking. So I want to warn prospective dancers. I signed up for a "First FREE Lesson," and was scheduled for a two-lesson time slot without my knowledge, then charged over $100 when I came in. I don't believe this was intentional, but it was unprofessional; the response I got when I tried to explain the situation was even more so. I asked for a refund, and was curtly told the information was on their website (it wasn't), and to find another studio. Because the website is not straightforward about prices, here's a heads-up: a 45-minute private lesson is $115, with discounts for bundle purchases up to 50 lessons for $5000. From any business, I'm always looking for transparency and clear communication; this studio does not have it. I will not be back
