She was super excited except the place I found was full! After googling dance dynamic, they had spaces. They were super friendly! They let my daughter borrow tap shoes and said if she was interested they could recommend a place and brand. The teachers were great and gave the kids one on one attention. The only downfall was I didn't like the small window and the blinds were down but open. It made watching the class hard.

From the moment I walked into the studio and asked about the program i got such a warm feeling. It felt like they genuinely cared about every student and knew the families. Just so happened the person I spoke to ended up being her teacher for tap! Ms Eileen is so engaging with this group of 3-4 year olds!! I later found out she taught preschool for 14 years so I feel my daughter is in great hands. She makes it fun each week. They really learn too. "Mr. David" (office manager) greets everyone with a smile as if he is welcoming us to his home every week. He has been more than accommodating with tuition dues and flexible. Thank you David for being such a great person and caring about our kids and the families! Thank you Dance Dynamics.

Unlike many dance studios, it's a place that fosters CONFIDENCE, DEDICATION, and PASSION-- which are amazing, lifelong qualities to instill in kids and especially teens. Kirstie, the director, is such a joy to be around and has created a truly unique and special place. Note only Kirstie, but all of the teachers too are committed to the students and create a very positive learning environment. Finally, the students are wonderful providing positive support to one another and put in a great deal of hard work. As I said before, the studio is truly a gem. Send your children or take class yourself as NCDI. It's a great find -- helped me remember why I love dancing again.

I had heard mixed reviews of Renner, the main complaint being the lack of professionalism and the constant lying from both the owner Summer and the office administrator Debbi. In hindsight, I should've listened to the advice of those telling me to avoid Renner like the plague. Due to COVID, I first contacted Debbi and Summer about starting out with virtual classes. I was given very few options, but decided to enroll in a ZOOM class with Claudia another with Coleen, leaving the option open for adding many more classes in the near future. The first week went fine. Two classes, two successful ZOOM sessions. The second week, however, Colleen neglected to let the virtual dancers into class. After I sent Debbi and Summer and email telling them the situation, I was guaranteed they Colleen "had been talked to" and it was not going to happen again. Well, the following week, Colleen again failed to let the ZOOM dancers into class. Another email was composed to Summer and Debbi and again I was promised that it wouldn't happen again. Another week came and to my surprise, Colleen's class went without a hitch. This time, however, Claudia chose not to let the virtual students in the class, effectively shutting out all ZOOM students. I once again contacted Summer and Debbi and I was offered a make-up class on a different evening. However, after asking several times for the ZOOM codes for this make-up class, I was completely ignored by both. Out of eight classes I had paid for, only three classes were actually held. After inquiring about whether these classes were cancelled, I received a very unprofessional email from Summer making excuses and instead of solving the problem that so many students are having, she placed the blame on everyone else besides herself. If you want to be lied to, if you want to be jerked around, if you want to be a part of a disorganized mess with questionable business practices and mediocre instructors, this place is for you. If not, there are too many honest dance studios in Pittsboro-Cary-Apex-Holly Springs that are leaps and bounds over this amateur-ish operation. Choose one of the others instead.

If you are not ready for intense training, great ballet training, and year around classes then this may not be for you. But, if you want to receive top notch technique/ballet training and be trained to go professionally after high school then this is the place you want to come to! They have all levels to start from with Exel, Extreme, and Elite level companies. They have amazing quality teachers and the studio owner Summer is amazing and runs an amazing program!

My daughter has been dancing at Barriskill for the past few years, and over this time, it has…read morebecome apparent to me that the studio owner and the instructors employ a philosophy of instruction that I have to think is rare in this industry. The classes and productions are inclusive of any dancer that is interested in participating, even those who don't take classes at the studio. Dancers of all sizes and shapes are welcome and are all treated in the same respectful way. As the mom of a pre-teenage girl whose body image is still in development, this is a crucial component for me. Secondly, the instructors are personable, approachable, and highly talented, and interested the dancers' development. The instructor who manages the jazz, tap, and musical theater programs provides the choreography for the productions, and the results are a classic, skilled and enthusiastic display of talent. She does not have to rely solely on trendy gimmicks or inappropriate dances to design fantastic pieces, yet the productions and recital dancers stay current with what progressive dancers do. Finally, the owner is flexible, knowledgeable, and professional, and makes sure each dancer is getting individual attention when it is necessary. For any parent looking for a dance school, I would stop by the studio and talk to him. He will let you try a class or two for free to see if your kiddo likes it, and there is so much going on there you are bound to find a place.

The teachers make the class so much fun for the kids and my daughter left class singing, "I love tutu school! I love tutu school! I love tutu school!" They even provide diapers and a changing table in the bathrooms for the younger students. They sell tutus and leotards and other adorable clothes. They also have tons of ballet themed books on shelves as well as toys to keep kids busy before or after class starts/for siblings who are waiting. Also, the instructors seem to always provide a 5 minute grace period to allow for parents to make it to class a few minutes late. They don't start immediately which is very considerate for parents of young children. I highly recommend tutu school to anyone who is unsure or on the fence. They were absolutely above and beyond/ exceeded my expectations. For reference, my daughter has also tried daisy dance and twinkle tots (different ballet schools) and tutu school was hands down the best option by far.

My daughter attended for an entire year, and i never met the owner. The teachers never communicate with parents and the staff in general is not very warm or welcoming. As a new parent there were many procedural things that I was unaware of, and did not know who to ask. The only positive about this place is their all-inclusive tuition packages. Your monthly installment covers classes, costumes, 4 recital tickets, 2 recital programs, & a t-shirt. It is one of the cheapest in the area but I guess you pay for what you get.
