The owners are always there, and make you feel not only like your business is valued, but more like you're family. We haven't encountered any petty, gossiping, Dance Moms, like other studios we've been to. This place is great. They offer Theatre/Acting classes to young children, which is another reason we sought out this studio. All the teachers seem to know what they're doing, and how to handle children in all different age groups and activity levels. I would recommend this place to all!

I could write a book about this place. But to sum up:…read more They are very unprofessional - their classes do not start, or end, on time. Not a single parent will complain or even ask about this. There is a very obvious fear among them that if they were to say anything perceived of as negative, the teachers will take it out on their child. They play favorites with the dancers (on this they will merely claim that I am disgruntled or that my child was not at the top - neither of which is true) Parents become unpaid labor as they are pressured to "volunteer" (if a company that's been around as long as Taylor Dance has and can't afford to hire employees, something is very wrong at the top. They very plainly do *not* have the safety of the children in mind and are clearly out for making money only. At the height of the pandemic they did not mandate masks until pressured by the city to do so. At least two of them contracted covid during one wave and were mysteriously missing. One for a week, the other for even longer. Every single parent knew they had covid, but to keep the money flowing Taylor Dance kept it hidden. Special note: When they get a bad review online, they send out emails to the parents asking them to rush and post good reviews to counter-act it. These good reviews are not real. They are from parents trying to please the owners to secure a better standing for their child. I could go on, and maybe I will when I have more time. Final note: There are far more professional and far more caring schools to choose from

It can be hard to keep the attention of young toddlers but the instructor handles it with ease. It is hard to find toddler dance classes so I was thankful when I found one where not only are they good at what they do but it's also fun. A bonus is that they allow the two year olds to participate in the Spring recital which is absolutely adorable!

"Hakuna Matata" what a wonderful phrase.... "Hakuna matata"…read moreis a Swahili phrase meaning "no troubles" or "no worries". Disney's The Lion King North American Tour was a welcome production to the "D". This was take 2 in seeing this play and it did not disappoint. Last time I experienced this play was in Toledo. I can hands down say that the Detroit Opera House was a 100 percent better experience. The Opera House is beautiful and has better seating. There is not a bad seat in the house. The experience in seating on the main floor along the aisle was a wonderful treat. Iykyk Bravo Detroit Opera House! Take a bow!

The food was very tasty and we were able to meet and take pictures with three members of The Lion King production. There are elevators throughout the Opera House and plenty of parking nearby. Facility is clean and has such beautiful architecture. Acoustics are wonderful and there are no "bad seats". The show was AMAZING and my seat was fantastic. Back of the main floor on the aisle, which meant seamless entry and exit. There are plenty of restrooms on each floor and they are very clean. In addition, snacks are available for purchase. Merchandise selection was great and they had some pretty nice bundle deals. I purchased a blanket, Hakuna Matata tea mug and received a tote bag for $65. This is a traveling production. I highly recommend seeing it! The stage, costumes, music, and story are heartwarming. A great night out in Downtown Detroit!

Between my 3 daughters (one with special needs) we have danced at 4 different studios in the area. We have had a very negative experience with bullying at another studio in particular. Pointe Academy's nurturing, non-competitive (but still striving for excellence), and family friendly environment is exactly why we will dance no where else, even though the location is not particularly close for us. The teachers really care about the dancers and offer loving, professional instruction. The studio is small, but that is also one thing I like about it, because the dancers get to know each other and become one big, supportive family. Pointe Academy is a real jewel in Rochester Hills!
