Once we got inside it was so crowded with parents and kids bunched in together, you couldn't even get through without bumping into 5 other people. Got to where we needed to be and imagine my surprise that there is no viewing window! I specifically asked about this before signing up and was told we could see the kiddos- well yeah you can see them if you stand up, go to the class door, and look through like a small window on the door (picture a very small rectangle). So you'd have to walk in front of other parents and block this little window in order to see your kid. 100% was misled and I wasn't ok with it- who doesn't want to actually watch their 4 year old take their first dance lesson?! Not to mention the vibe of the whole place was off IMO. Decided we wouldn't be going back, so we called today to cancel and let them know why- was told they'd need a 30 day notice and I'd be charged for an additional week. So I was misled by your staff, wasn't satisfied with the experience, paid for a month (attended 1 class) and the deposit, and that's your response. Get out of here! I wouldn't recommend this place to anybody.

I am a self-admitted helicopter parent and NorthPointe has been a saving grace for both myself and…read moremy daughter. The staff is incredibly kind and patient with me, yet by gently encouraging me to step back and trust them with my daughter's growth I have watched my daughter blossom into a strong spirit, whereas she would barely let me leave her alone in the classroom two years ago. Not only has she developed technique and skill, but also friendships, confidence and passion about the art of dance! My daughter also has true connections with her teachers, so even when frustrated by the challenges of something new she wants to go right back to class the following week. The front desk staff always greets us by name which makes us feel like family; even the fellow parents are friendly and welcoming. Two things I like about NorthPointe: 1)that they can meet your child where he or she is, and take them as far as he or she would like to go, from just-for-fun-and-exercise all the way to Juilliard (a recent past student is now studying there under scholarship!). And 2) it's not just about DANCE-- it's also about building character and confidence, developing the person as a whole. So even if my child doesn't want to go to Juilliard, she is still developing skills that are essential in so many other areas of her life. There was an earlier negative reviewer on here mentioning her daughter having an issue with a class she tried out, and I am so glad she contacted the studio owner about her concerns. The reviewer mentioned that the owner said the instructor was in tears over the parent's complaint, and that is an excellent example of how seriously NorthPointe takes their standards. That the owner herself called the parent speaks volumes alone, that the teacher was so upset about the misunderstanding, and that the studio offered multiple solutions to this parent-- you can see the level of service NorthPointe provides, even when the parent has an alternate viewpoint of an experience. It seems to me that very few businesses operate this way these days, so for me, it's encouraging to hear that these concerns were addressed so appropriately.

The only thing that would've made it better would have been to have lights all over for autistics who are drawn to them.
