Without Lisa's encouragement and her ability to spot Sofia's…read moretalent, Sofia may never have discovered her passion for performing -- and for that, we are forever thankful. Gracie has helped her grow so much in her dancing and fueled her love for it even more. Lisa has continued to encourage her in singing and has helped her truly flourish. Kayla and Noelle are also amazing -- so supportive, kind, and talented. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to help the kids feel confident, inspired, and excited to learn. Stagelights truly encourages and develops their students to become true triple threats -- strong in acting, singing, and dancing -- all while building their confidence and love for performing. Our son just started performing and recently completed his very first musical at Stagelights. He had the best experience and is already so excited to join the summer play. We couldn't be happier to be part of the Stagelights family!

Center Stage in Carollwood is much better! That's where most of the dancers of value end of…read moretransferring anyways. We left due to my two year old being mistreated by the owner/teacher Lisa! An adult bullying a toddler is the only red flag we needed. Center Stage also has indoor viewing area to watch the kids dance! There's a giant window to see through and chairs, and AIR CONDITIONING (huge deal since at Stagelights it's a "privilege" to view your child in class while cooking outside in the sun on a hard plastic chair... being able to watch dance class from indoors on a soft chair is PRICELESS!) Stagelights is absolutely cheaper than most. But you get what you pay for! If it's worth it to you then go for it. I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't warn other moms of the experience. We wasted 3 years here, but once my two year old was mistreated the loyalty had to end. Do better for your own child & find a studio elsewhere!

Last year, after multiple back-and-forth emails, I was finally told she couldn't take the classes she wanted. This year, I went in person and was told she would get a tryout, but instead of scheduling it, I was asked to email again in two weeks. As a customer, I shouldn't have to keep chasing the school for updates or appointments. A well-managed business should collect my information, follow up, and make the process easy. Unfortunately, I felt like my time and interest didn't matter. Because of this experience, they have lost us as customers and I hope who read this message doesn't become a customer either.

We just experienced the best and most fun Salsa and Marengia classes in our living room! It was hilariously fun!! The instructors broke down the dance moves step by step in easy to replicate movements. Such a super fun evening! The instructors were so funny and hilarious making us all enjoy the dance and music. My guy loved it! We took our dance date next level by dressing up a bit (I wore a red dress for twirling). If you've been on the fence - just dance!

Any place where I'm offered a glass of wine is my type of place! Alberto worked with us in a very short time frame and choreographed the perfect dance of my dreams that went so beautifully with our song. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who wants to learn or loves to dance, and especially couples that want to make their first wedding dance special! Thank you Alberto and everyone at the North Tampa studio! I definitely plan to come back after the wedding for more lessons.

As someone who developed an interest in…read moredance/ballet as a an adult, its difficult to find a studio that offers ballet classes at a beginner level. The classes are casual (leotards and tights aren't required) but structured and challenging. Mallory and Maya are excellent teachers and will break down the movements as many times as necessary. Would definitely recommend ABASI for dancers of all levels.

After speaking with Kimber, and meeting with her about possible dance instruction, I knew this was…read morewhere I needed to be. I sought out dance instruction, in my 70's, for a variety of reasons. One, hopefully, was to share with a significant other someday; to eliminate feeling inept like many guys do when they have the opportunity to dance whether it's a wedding, other celebration or just going out. I also needed it as physical therapy after two severe injuries to my spine and neural system. In approximately six months time, instruction has done all of this, and more. The instructors are excellent, they are patient, tolerant, courteous, and very professional. I am thankful for all they have done and continue to do for me. I highly recommend this studio if you are considering dance instruction. And.....it's fun!!!! Tim

I've been going to Green Locus Yoga for close to two years now. I started when I first got pregnant and now my son is 13 months. Wow, does time fly. Most recently, we attended a one year old birthday here. It was perfect! Here was the set up. We ran in 15 minutes late (of course. Btw how were all the other moms on time? I honestly thought we would all be that late.) The class had already started and kids and moms were dancing on their yoga mats. I really respect places that are timely! We had about 30 minutes of yoga/body movement to music (about 45 minutes for everyone who was on time). Then we had some refreshments the mom brought. I thought it was over at this point, but no, we had more structured play with a giant parachute! I thought it was a fantastic way to structure the birthday for one year olds - they have the attention span of squirrels so that food break was a necessity. At the end of the party, Mallory, the owner, told everyone to stay as long as we liked, but of course being moms of toddlers, everyone ran for nap time. However, it is a good feeling knowing you are never rushed to leave. After throwing Yoshi's first birthday at my house this year, this seems like the perfect alternative for his next birthday. They have a cap of 12 parents/kids (so a total of about 25), which makes sense for the space. We had a blast and the class was perfectly suited for the age of the kids.
