Our daughter danced at Juliart Dance for 16 years. She had a wonderful experience and is still…read morestudying dance, now in a university BFA program. The Juliart instructors are incredibly talented, knowledgeable, and committed to the dancer's development, pushing them to reach their full potential while in a supportive and fun environment. Super cute programs for little ones and then as they get older there is an opportunity to audition to be on a competitive team. The choreography is fresh, innovative, and challenging, ensuring that they are always learning and evolving as dancers. The dancers also learn about teamwork, time management, public performance and discipline. These skills show both in and out of the studio.

Juliart is a mediocre dance studio, but they lack any rigorous tap program. Like Gotta Dance (a…read morelocal competitor), they are more focused on entering their dancers in competitions than on teaching them to enjoy dance or improving their technique in any significant way. For instance, they offer beginning and intermediate classes, but they have no option to take advanced classes without participating on a competition team. (And training for competitions often does not translate to teaching best practices in technique.) Furthermore, since tap is not found in most competitions, they honestly do not have any tap classes that are challenging for kids ages 8 and above. We will be switching to another studio on Cole Street in Birmingham that focuses more on proper dancing and less on competitions.

We showed up here less than two weeks before our wedding to figure out a dance for the big day…read more More so to make sure we knew what we were doing - we honestly didn't think they'd help us choreograph something specific on this short notice. They got right to work. We got 4 lessons scheduled in the two weeks pre-wedding and they helped us execute a pretty flawless (if I do say so) first dance for our wedding. Super kind staff make it very easy and then help you drill in to make it perfect. Highly recommend these folks.

I went here with a groupon, which came with one group lesson and two private lessons. I scheduled…read morethe group lesson over the phone and was instructed not to wear tennis shoes or rubber soles. They also had a 24 hour cancellation notice. Note to people with groupons - ALL of your lessons must be used up before the groupon expires, not just the first lesson. The group lesson was 30-45 minutes long. There were about 6-8 couples and 2-3 single ladies. The instructor introduced us to a few basic steps and had us practice them, rotating partners. Instead of holding hands, everyone touched palms as if frozen while playing pat-a-cake. This weirded me out a bit because I realized I had not touched anyone's palms (boyfriend excluded) in years... hahaha. But I will admit that changing partners was helpful for practicing, especially since the instructor did the man's steps, so we ladies got to practice with the instructor several times. We did the box steps for waltz, rumba, and foxtrot. After the group lesson, you could schedule your two private lessons. Each person/couple also received a sheet where we could note the steps we had learned and which instructor we had; Arthur Murray then keeps this on file. We ended up scheduling our two private lessons back to back, as they were 20-30 minutes each. In the private lessons, we reviewed the steps from the group lesson and learned how to turn and how to place our hands/arms so that we looked more like we were actually dancing and not that pat-a-cake thing. We were then given information on signing up for the real classes and were also invited to join a practice ballroom session where people just show up and dance, with instructors roaming around and helping. I think this might have been included in the groupon. We weren't able to fit the practice ballroom session into our schedule, so we ended up skipping it. I wanted to sign up for classes, but they were kind of pricey. I would definitely need a lot more classes/practice because I have two left feet and also a terrible memory. I get better each time in class, but then I forget the steps so quickly. :( The dance studio is located on Main, north of 11 Mile, across the street from Hollywood Market (and slightly north of it). If you are coming from the north, the building is really hard to see because the Arthur Murray sign only faces south, so get ready to turn right when you see the used car dealership. It's just after the dealership, and it's a brown brick building with a brown roof. For the longest time, they did not have a website, but now they do... finally!

My girls have been dancing at the studio for the last 4 years and I cannot imagine taking them anywhere else. Every single instructor is wonderful. They create such a welcoming and caring bond with the kids. My girls can seriously not get enough. If they could be at the studio every day they would! Jazz. Hip Hop. Tap. Competitive. Non-competitive. Technique. They have it all. The studio also brings in guest instructors for Master Classes. Last year one of teachers was from the cast of Hamilton and taught the kids choreography from the show. How awesome is that. The owner Amy is just so great. She truly cares for every single one of her dancers. Not only does the studio put on fabulous recitals (they are super fast paced and not too long!!!) but they also put on a charity show every year (the charity is typically picked by the Company team kids - which I think is awesome). We are so happy to have found this studio. We are Studio A!

I was part of one of the teams at this studio when I was in late elementary school.

One particular memory of not being allowed to have a food/water break during a 4-5 hour rehearsal comes to mind, all whilst the coach sat there eating in front of us.

The competition program at this studio is a complete joke. Favoritism is insane. Certain competition dancers are given special treatment (7+ extra routines, solos, all the attention in class), while other competition dancers are straight up ignored and denied routines that they are completely qualified for. It doesn't matter how good you are, if the owner doesn't like your dancer, you get the crap routines (Pom pom). The owner will completely ignore your emails and questions and, if she even bothers to respond at all, it'll be whatever bullcrap she wants to tell you. Also, the owners are NEVER at this location. They are always at their other location, the main studio in Sterling Heights. As such, the teachers run the place and do what they want. The woman who teaches the competition jazz and lyrical classes is a complete egotistical asshole. I wouldn't talk to a dog the way she talks to these kids. She will dumb dances down if there's a combination that her favorite dancers cannot do; it doesn't matter that others can do the combo, it'll get taken out if her lil favorites can't do it. Don't waste your time or money here.
