My daughter has been here since she was 4, (now 7) . This studio is her second family. She has…read moregrown to know most of the students and all of the staff. Allie (dance owner) and all the teachers love all the students, they have had to have taught the big girls to be kind to the little girls because all of the bigger students are so amazing with the Littles. There are various classes , and the teachers and staff pour themselves into the students. I highly recommend this studio. Hours are convenient, staff is amazing, and the dance owner is always there if you ever need to speak with her. She's not an absentee owner. Every time I go to drop my daughter for her class , she's either teaching, or just pulling up. I will always tell people to go here when they ask where my daughter dances.

We've taken classes here with several instructors from Ms Catie to Ms Zoe and several subs who were…read moreso kind and lovely to the kids. I thought Ms Allie the owner would embody this kindness as well but we were taken aback by a recent encounter. We always followed the rules as parents and would drop off esp for ballet class since Ms Allie was strict on this policy (after first class) to not be a distraction to the kids. We've taken intro to dance, ballet 1, and this year was hoping due to schedule reasons enroll in ballet 1/2. We have been doing 2 recitals (which are expensive by the way and cost $100 per dress plus tickets you have to buy PER attendee (yes even toddler). The ballet class name this year literally is ballet 1/2, not ballet 2. To accommodate both daughters, I asked if we can enroll given we took ballet 1 the year before and my daughter was not particularly interested in lyrical 1. We were told by Ms Allie through text when we asked to change classes that this was ok (she gave green light) and we later found out after the second class (first class with her since the very first class was with one of her substitutes whom she later told me was not up to standard with that class), that she cancelled the lyrical 1 and decided to make this only a ballet 2 class. Therefore after telling my daughter and her friend they can enroll and even encouraging us to and disparaging her own sub (saying that class was not up to standard), she told us we couldn't bc the "maturity level and skill level gap was too big." I wish she could've had a talk with us after class face to face instead of delivering by text. She never communicates to us in person and only over text. I wish she never would've let my daughter in the class bc she said my daughter needed to go back to ballet 1 (pretty much a demotion just after 1 class) bc this did affect her confidence in herself after and Ms Allie said "for her confidence, I want her to be in ballet 1 for a while before she's ready" but she was more confident in the ballet 1/2 bc there were older girls she followed and emulated vs all this talk about "how was your holiday break?" and arts and crafts with the younger class at times which consumes previous class time. It was very disheartening how she told other parents the same and one of which also enrolled in the ballet 1/2. My daughter cannot be with her friend anymore in class and my younger daughter (we come there bc of the convenient time) also had to dis-enroll bc this situation just left an ill feeling with us after that it wasn't about caring for my daughter's progression but rather their lyrical 1 was under enrolled. I do love some of the teachers at the school like Ms Catie and Ms Zoe (hence 2 stars and not 1) but the way the owner Ms Allie communicates with parents and her confidence in developing my daughter was just not what you would expect in a teacher and owner, to be contradictory and always tell her she's not ready (for competition-- which I understand at this age even though her friend got in but also for ballet 1/2). It's a shame bc I always recommended their dance school to other parents and parent groups on social media and to several of my friends who enrolled. One of my friends was excited her daughter would be in same class as mine. All around just very disappointing with the level of communication and giving my daughter hope and taking that away.

Rize All: Where quiet kids dance!…read more We came in with our nervous, quiet kid who surprised us when he decided to join a hip hop class. Ms. Mona and Julia welcomed him with positivity and kindness, helping him feel comfortable in minutes. As soon as class started, he was grooving! As performance day arrived I feared he would lose confidence but he jumped on stage with a HUGE smile and pride! Rize All isn't just about dance--it's about confidence and pure joy. P.S. If you're on the fence--do it. What have you got to lose?

Our youngest daughter is four and absolutely loves to dance. She went with a friend to an…read moreintroductory class at another studio and loved it. Parking is typically pretty easy to find in the large shopping center they're in. We signed her up for their once a week introduction to dance class. She loved her classmates and instructor and wanted to do their recital in June. The class provided a lot of valuable life lessons. She learned and had several things reiterated: confidence, human kindness, paying attention, respect, responsibility, timeliness, and trying your hardest. Their waiting room is exceptionally small, and they prefer you drop off and pick up your child after class. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for her due to some separation anxiety issues, but we'll continue working on it. Starbucks and Walgreens are both within walking distance for those who are able to drop off their child or children. They sell a variety of ballet and dance apparel and shoes. The recital costumes were reasonably priced and absolutely gorgeous. Tickets were also reasonably priced, and the show was well planned and executed. Our daughter's dance partner bailed on her before the second show, and her instructor Mona helped instill the confidence in her to perform a solo rendition that she did a fantastic job with. She's excited to begin class again in August after soccer is over and to perform again in December's recital.
