What we witnessed at the recital was abysmal! Those kids deserved better than this, after working so hard all season, as did all the parents who spent money to ensure their children would benefit from and have a sense of pride with what they had 'accomplished' by being enrolled at your studio. Although that may have been a great venue to have a nice dinner, play bingo or enjoy some other fun activities, at several round tables, it was not the best location to have a dance recital. Not only was there not enough space inside the "Auditorium" to put on such a grand event, there were not near enough parking spaces to accommodate the participants of the show and all the guests of said participants. This is no fault of the Levine Senior Center, but this needed to be, and definitely should have been, planned out a little more thoroughly! Had it been thought through at all, people would not have been left to park along the sides of the street, blocking the entrance/exit, or all the way across the street at other businesses which created about a mile walk to and from their vehicles. This was only the beginning of the issues that were experienced and being discussed as nobody could see the stage or their child performing due to the cramped layout of the chairs and flat floor format, not auditorium style seating as we were led to believe, so only those seated in the very front rows were able to see anything without standing, but even still, the bright lighting BEHIND the dancers made it impossible to get a decent recording, or at a minimum, to even be able to see their costumes, and we can't get those moments back!!!! We are definitely not pleased about that nor the fact we were having to 'attempt' to glance over the multiple families who were quite disrespectfully, standing up in front of all of us taking pictures and selfies once their little ones were brought back to them inside the "Auditorium". I will stop here as you get the picture.... But, I have to say this; everybody could see that only the 'Company Kids' were given the teacher's full attention or even close to being ready, whilst many others seemed ill prepared and not fully trained for such a perfomance.... especially that group wearing the red outfits!! Those poor girls absolutely DID NOT know their dances and should have! They could have been more prepared by receiving the proper instruction and training beforehand, but they didn't even know the simplest of things, one of which is what position to stand in and the other being which way to exit the stage! Again, they deserved better treatment than this, AND the opportunity to redo those dances, to make up for the "instructor's" mistake and blatant incompetence, because it certainly does not fall on the shoulders' of those kids!! -- It was so unfair, extremely unkind and outright SELFISH for the owner of this dance studio to actually refuse to allow them to do so!!!! They weren't worth it in her eyes as there was no more money to be profited from it... and that is heartbreaking! read more

We gave it a try and attempted to stick it out this last year for the sake of our children as we like them to be involved in extracurricular activities, but we have not been pleased with the extreme lack of communication, among many other things. The Competition Students are favored over others and those who aren't, do not get the proper training or any one on one time. But.... the Competition Classes are not any better as the students were left alone to fend for themselves most of the time, with no instructor around for a large portion of the class. Lastly, the highly competitive parents are very high school as in they hang out in their cliques and gossip about all of the other parents they exclude from their group. I have heard the Teachers are actually having and joining in on these conversations, when this type of toxic behavior should be frowned upon and totally avoided! We are going to find another studio where these events DO NOT occur, EVER! It is certainly not a good environment that is conducive to having kids around. I am giving them 1 star, instead of my original, 2 stars to give a more accurate depiction of the type of care and consideration that children will receive here, because no sooner than I left my honest opinion and posted a negative review on Google, BAM!! magically, there were 16 brand new 5 star reviews written within hours, from new accounts! Most were likely the Owners, but some were certainly Relatives, Employees and the Competition Parents, and Students, themselves.... There were many more fake reviews already on their page. They just cannot seem to take any constructive criticism nor recognize or admit that there may in fact, be some faults. They are only interested in putting forth a perfect appearance and facade with all of their many first and second Trophies they display, while ignoring all others, so the proper changes will never be made here, unfortunately!! read more

If you want your child or grandchild leaving their recital in tears, feeling like a failure, this is the place for you! I kept my Grandkids over the weekend and my Granddaughter is still distraught over the fact that her class didn't know their dances well enough to yet take the stage.... it has been more than 2 MONTHS now!!!! They literally just stood up there for the last half of one of the dances! The girls tried to look over to their "teacher" for help, but received none, and although the group of them were told afterwards that they could go back out on stage to do the dance again, this did not happen! All of yours' actions basically let these girls know they were not worth even 3 minutes of your time, how unbelievably uncouth of you all!!!! She will not be attending this studio after all that went wrong at the recital, and throughout the year, as only certain children have been a priority at We're Dancing, and that was obvious to everyone watching! As well, the teacher of another class has been very rude to my daughter-in-law at times. Hopefully this will be allowed to warn other parents and not be deleted yet again! read more

This should sum up our experience here over the last year, especially what we saw at the recital! Horrible. It was absolutely horrible!! No one could see their children or their very expensive costumes we all paid for! Read the other reviews that are censored below, at the bottom of this page, they are accurate and will tell you everything you need to know about the studio. Jessica S. is a teacher and part owner. She is also the same one people are talking about in the other reviews. She engages in catty behavior with the older students, and the comp parents while speaking badly about other parents. They deleted the photos of the pitiful view we had, that another person posted. They had Lakeisha's review completely removed, but everything she stated is true, and you can still view it on Google, if you wish... if they haven't reported and had it deleted as well, that is. read more

El baile no fue bueno. Los niños no aprenden de su maestro cómo hacer los bailes aquí mismo. No sabían cómo hacer sus bailes cuando hacían la actuación. Dos profesores les dicen que no lloren más y dicen que a ver si el dueño les da otra oportunidad para volver a salir a hacer, pero no los dejan hacerlo. ¡¡No es muy bueno que trates tan mal a los niños!! ¡Nuestros niños no volverán! We Dancing is no good! The translate en ingles - The dance was not good. Children don't learn from their teacher how to do the dances right here. They didn't know how to do their dances when they did the performance. Two teachers tell them not to cry anymore and say to see if the owner gives them another chance to go out and do again, but they not let them. Is not very good that you treat children so badly!! Our children will not return! We Dancing is not good! read more

Best studio in the Charlotte area! My daughter has now graduated, but danced here for seven years. I cannot say enough about the training, friendships, and performance of this team! They are given so many opportunities to work with world renowned choreographers and expand their artistry. If you are looking for a dance home-look no further! This family is so close and we have lifelong friendships! So appreciative for all they have done for my girl. read more
