The teachers create such a positive environment while still helping the kids grow technically and build confidence. You can tell how much heart goes into everything they do.

In the not-so-distant past, Spark was the closest studio to perfect you could find. They…read moredemonstrated a commitment to quality instruction with an equal love for their students and their wellbeing. It was our safe haven. This is no longer the case. They've gone the way of everyone else; only the stars matter. Everyone else who has been keeping their lights on for years has been banished to level one purgatory and told they will never do X or Y. Excuse me but becoming a professional ballerina was never the goal for us. We just wanted to get exercise, learn discipline, and have fun, not retire at 25 with a permanently damaged body while living on food stamps. ‍ If you have a child on the spectrum, I highly recommend finding an alternative. This studio is not neuroinclusive; they'll keep your kid down year after year after year until you finally get the hint and show yourself out the door. Spark, sometimes human beings matter more than the number of girls you brag about sending to summer intensives. You can still put on a beautiful production while allowing autistic girls to progress with their peers (not talking about pointe, talking about dignity and inclusivity). You know it's illegal to discriminate against disabilities, right? So disappointed and heartbroken.

I was looking for a mid-morning class time and for her to learn technique. Studio R Ballet is clean, organized, and everyone has been so kind. The dance teacher is so sweet to the little girls, my daughter loves going to class. The class seems to have structure and she is learning technique, she loves practicing at home. I do wish they would have a homeschool program (looks like they take ESA!) because afterschool class times aren't super convenient. We live farther and traffic is rough if we were to continue going here as she gets older. Overall, we absolutely recommend!

Trust me when I say it's the BEST classical ballet school in the East valley! The studio itself is gorgeous and the instructors are highly qualified. The environment is positive and feels "like a family". The teachers have been a blessing and have become great mentors for my girls. Not only have they taught them proper technical training, but also how to be great, hard-working people. We are so blessed to be a part of such a wonderful school. Special shoutout to Ms. Robbin - the owner/artistic director-- you are truly an amazing mentor to my girls and I can't thank you enough for the amazing love and support you've shown my kids. If you are looking for a state of the art classical ballet school that teaches with love, but trains them to be strong dancers, Studio R Ballet is it!

Dancers used the dining room as their dressing area, with no privacy afforded to them (BTW is it sanitary to have dancers' personal items all over commercial eating areas?). Dads were allowed in the changing areas, too. The dancers were required to haul their rented costumes on foot to and from the studio, next to the busy McKellips road with no supervision from the studio. There was nowhere to park, and we still had to pay our recital fees and admission fees to sit out in the elements. My kid was freezing cold. I paid for a professional recital. I had reasonable expectations that were not met. Where did my money go if we didn't have to pay for an auditorium? The studio is not being maintained. It's falling apart and it is filthy. The only good thing there is Beverly. I wish she'd open her own studio.

This may be the perfect dance studio for many students. It was not for my student…read more One of mine is a competitive level dancer with many years experience. He began classes in July when most of the students hadn't started yet. It was wonderful then. He got lots of individualized attention and the teachers were knowledgeable and knew lots of methods that he hadn't encountered before. Once the students returned when school started, everything changed. Focus and structure were gone from the classes. He was unable to try out for the competitive teams being new to the area, but the recreational classes were not able to accommodate his experience. Rules were not enforced. Kids were disruptive. They wore inappropriate clothing both for age and function. Things like bikinis or full length school skirts. And even though the school has a wonderful male instructor and other male students, many kids told my son that he couldn't dance because he was a boy. He felt unwelcome and didn't get the camaraderie and instruction he was used to at his former studio. There is so much potential in this studio, but the lack of discipline and cooperation among students made it a bad fit for my dancer.

I think folks may have heard PRIVATE conversations I had with my family about cost and upset from miscommunication... which is why we had the conversation with Rachel (dancers ink) and it was clarified. We were all happy. Then behind our backs, guess someone decided to cause drama. Instead of talking with us-- they just sent a heartbreaking email. I would say-- watch your back if you go to this studio. I thought people were nice and familial. Not the case.
