I've been at TYB for almost four years now, and I couldn't recommend it more! I started at 16, and…read morein less than three years of training got accepted into American Ballet Theater's summer program in New York City! The training is very classical and solid, and the school environment is very supportive, with little inter-student drama. It's a haven to any late-starter, because of the one-one-one correction and small class sizes. Once I finished my placement class, I was placed in the school's conservatory program, a skill-based system of ten pre-professional levels that can go from a 6-year-old beginner to a young professional. The pre-ballet classes are top-notch from what I've seen, and the discipline of ballet is gently built up from there. One hundred percent recommend!

Although she was a high school junior she was warmly welcomed into her new family of tiny dancers with stars in their eyes, bun-heads with amazing technique and well-rounded dancers trained in a wide variety of dance styles. More importantly for her was falling in love with dance again. So much so she auditioned for DIPAC's pre-pro, The Thriving Artist Project, and has been growing exponentially with training from some of the best faculty and guest artists in the industry.

If I could give this studio more stars I would! We were at the studio for a year and it was the…read morebest year of my kids lives! My son has ADHD and they not only embraced him, but develped his technique and he thrived! My daughter is very young and only did the recreation program, but all of the teachers (especially Tammy and cooper) were absolutely amazing! Because of DI both of my kids are way above their age level in all genres from just one year of dancing there. The staff is extremely professional, and the owner is just so on top of everything at the studio. The best part of the studio is that none of the teachers or staff (Including the owner) get involved with ANY of the drama at the studio. They place the kids where they will do the best in technique and maturity wise. The only reason why we left is because we moved out of state, however we are going back every year for some of the conventions they participate in so we have the chance to dance with them. They care about molding your dancer into a professional dancer, not just a competitive dancer who stops dancing at 18 when they age out of competitions. They work with the seniors in getting them into the right collages and help them earn scholarships to pay for tuition. The owner and staff are well connected as well to get your foot in the door if you want to go more towards the entertainment industry. The ballet program is top notch with dancers that get into the most prestigious dance schools. (They have placed at least 3 dancers at Juilliard last year). They also have great adult ballet, tap, and hop hop classes that are so much fun! If you have the opportunity to go to DI do it! It was the best decision for our whole family made in dance we have ever made.

They offer many styles of dance and all of the teachers we had were great with the kids. Both the recreational dancers and competitive dancers are treated wonderfully and the choreography and costumes are adorable and age appropriate. We'd still be there if we hadn't moved far away. We love MDA and my daughter talks about it almost daily.

It is understandable that you feel that every effort was made to rectify any issues expressed verbally to you or your staff. But your perception does not supersede our experience and how we were made to feel. I am not a perfect person nor parent, but I welcome growth in all areas of my life. I have learned valuable lessons in this season and will apply this experience to better myself and protect my child. As for the reviews, I only rate only on my experience. You cannot label me a liar because of my experience, no more than I can call someone a liar for giving your studio a positive review. I understand your feelings over what was was said, but everything I stated is the truth, experienced first hand. My hopes are for you and, anyone else reading this review, is to listen to your community. Log on to Facebook/ Yelp, Moms of McKinney, Moms of Allen, Moms of Frisco, and see that I am not alone in what I experienced. There are many other families who also have expressed the same sentiments over the same unfortunate events. At the end of the day it's about what's best for the children, a goal I'm sure we all share. Regardless of a positive or negative review, I hope the thoughts of your future customers help you measure areas you are doing right and areas that can and should be improved. I do not wish to engage in a tit for tat. I simply did what was best for my family. We will move forward looking for the best environment for our little girl. And I hope you take the opportunity to grow from this as well.
