At Stars & Stripes they truly care about the girls- and work on positive reinforcement and building confidence. We just competing at our first event and I love how the coaches keep it very casual and fun. They don't put excessive pressure on the kids but celebrate their achievements. It's been a super great experience. The parents and other girls have also been wonderful. We've made some great friends already. We're very happy at Stars & Stripes, love the family atmosphere, the owner knows what she's doing and the other coaches are great role models for the girls.

My daughter placed 4th on beam in her first meet with Stars & Stripes!

I think they need to hire a professional event coordinator for their championship meets and expos…read more Every single event that I've been to has been unorganized, delayed and poorly planned. The most recent meet on Jan 18 was horrible. It went way over the expected time, they crammed us all into this tiny space where we had to stand for half an hour to wait for "the results". Then the gymnasts were running around with no supervision, jumping all over the makeshift "stage" and ruining some of the placement tags. By this time the kids were starving and some of us in the audience saw one of the coaches eating a pizza in front of everyone. We all just stood there watching her.but she was oblivious.Not a good look. Then finally, someone explained the reason for the delay (their computer system went down so they had to calculate the scores manually). Then more waiting. When the winners were finally announced, the person announcing had no microphone. She just yelled out the names while nervously flipping thru all her papers. It was all done so haphazardly, Coaches were running all over the place like chickens with their heads cut off. Nobody had a clue. Like I said, they need to dip into that stockpile of money they make off of us and invest in a professional event coordinator. Cmon guys. Get it together will ya? Parents are getting fed up with this.

We attended a birthday party here recently. First, there were three bounce house-type inflatables…read more I was expecting more for the cost of hosting a party here (around $300). But the younger kids seemed to have fun. Then everyone moved the the gymnastics portion of the gym. The kids were able to use two trampolines and the foam pit. One trampoline had a hole/was broken, so I think there would have been even more jumping action for the kids if it had been fixed. I really liked the gymnastics portion and would consider it for a future birthday party. The cost is quite high, and it doesn't include any type of food or beverage. You are able to order or bring your own, but then the cost is of course even higher. The biggest problem I had, was that at least three children became sick a couple of days later. My child being one of them. I hope they do some deep cleaning, especially now. But this needs to occur at least once a week in order to help keep kids healthy, since many come in for classes all week long.

Five stars. Great coaches and great organization. Nice owners and the gymnasts work real hard to be the best. Love this gym.

Five stars for their birthday parties…read more We've attended a couple birthday parties here now and they're always a blast. The woman who leads it has always been the same (and I feel terrible for not knowing her name.) She is high energy, great with kids, and her super power is knowing every child's name. It's amazing! The kids are led through a ton of different gymnastics courses that pretty much any age can do. My son is four and loved it. It's interactive enough that they usually aren't just standing in line waiting but always moving. The room upstairs is then used for food and cake time. Then back downstairs for free play, which the children always love. Parents can keep their shoes on, which I appreciate. Kids are barefoot. They always take a group picture that they organize so the birthday party walks away with a wonderful picture.

It was very crowed up there, too. The class started on time, and for a small group of 2 years olds, they really got a workout. (and the parent too) The rule is, no one on the floor without a teacher and for the little ones, a parent also participates as an extra helper. There was a routine that the group went through, which included fun and challenging activities. They use a balance beam, a rock wall, a zip line into a foam pit, and a bunch of floor exercises. My grandson was very happy to be there, and I was really happy to have been able to come see him burn off lots of toddler energy. The parking area was quite crowded but there was enough parking and there was also a swim school attached to the gymnastics building. (He also does swim lessons, which he also loves.) The facility is not very modern but then, it has everything at reasonable prices.

Every year, they have a recital for the kiddos and they do an exceptional job. It's so much fun to watch these kids go from not knowing a thing about dance, to becoming a dance extraordinaire! Mrs. Kylee and AJ are always very involved with the kids. They have dancing, parades, Halloween trunk or treat, Christmas parties, etc.. I highly recommend this dance studio to anyone looking for a dance company for their little one, or even teenagers. Pricing is reasonable - usually $20 per class, could be more, could be less. Depends on the kids age, and what classes they're taking. Still cannot be beat! My daughter has been going here since she was 4 years old, and she'll soon be 10. We love it there!

We work hard to introduce to our students the right amount of self-expression, discipline, proper technique, flexibility, and passion to the art of dance. We take pride in every one of our students believing that every dancer has the ability to achieve success. You are more than a dancer to us, you are family. Come join our dance family!

But after going on the tour of 90 minutes I was able to understand all that the sanctuary does for these animals. Most of these animals come from other people who have kept them as pets or who have not kept good care of them, so this is a safe place for them. I was so honored to get to see so many animals being cared for with respect, and get to meet the people who volunteer their time to give comfort to these animals. The best part is that all the proceeds go directly to the animals' care and welfare. It's not like other places where a percentage will go to the employees. At this sanctuary the proceeds go straight back to the animals. If you're an animal lover like me I would recommend going!
