I grew up in the suburbs of Waco Texas. My child, this past summer while visiting her grandparents,…read morehad the privileged opportunity of taking dance with and in the studio of my old friend, and former dance company partner, Gina Nix, owner and dance teacher of All That Jazz Dance Academy. What I am surprised about, is how much time has gone by: 20 years her studio has been up and running, and they are still going strong! (Omg, I feel old). I knew in my heart and gut, if anyone in our company was going to grow up to own and operate her own successful dance studio, that person would be Gina Nix. I can't believe my four-year-old learned so much within a month's time! Truthfully, because of Gina, I'm not surprised at all. "Miss Gina" is not a shrewd disciplinarian, though she definitely knows how to command her space with movement (that thing she teaches) with great skill, patience, talent, and in her own meticulous fashion. Her students learn what their parents pay them to learn- HOW TO DANCE CORRECTLY. And from what I've seen, they manage to have a great time to boot. My little girl (now in kindergarten and back in CA ) will still, at random, practice shuffle-hop step's, arabesques and pique turns in public, at home, at the grocery store etc., and loudly verbalize the dance terminology as she goes. What a blessing she was in such good hands at All That Jazz! It will always be my hope that the students and staff at All That Jazz maintain to receive the kudos they deserve; both in their hometown, and in all the cities in which they successfully go to compete several times every year. I will always be rooting for them and my heart, and yelling, "Break a Leg!" And for the studio's namesake, "Its Showtime, Folks!"

I'll never be a ballerina, a Fosse impersonator, or move like Bojangles, but I will keep improving my flexibility, balance, and conditioning and enjoy it immensely. Ms Gina is our outstanding teacher (and now friend) and I highly recommend ATJ for the young AND old.

I put my daughter in dance class thinking a small business dance studio would be more one on one…read moreetc than a larger studio. Boy was I wrong. There is no communication with the parents regarding recitals, room parties, when there is class and when it's cancelled, and there was minimal one on one etc. I was very disappointed with the organization of the school. The recital routines were planned out as they went and there really was no planning ahead for scheduling things. There were many other Mom's with the same concerns. When I voiced my opinion about the lack of organization and told her why I took my daughter out of her school, the owner seemed to not really care at all, which surprised me. Also, the studio is not well kept and it's very dirty. There seems to be no "love" for the business she owns. I would not recommend it.

Both of my daughters are in company in tap, jazz, hip hop, contemporary and musical theater, they have both done amazing in solo performances in overalls not just groups. They both are also en pointe in the advanced classes through the ballet conservatory. My youngest had the lead last ballet performance. Finding a place that mastered tap, jazz and ballet was tough to find but we did. My eldest daughter now works there as an assistant/teacher and loves it! Lisa along with her daughter Rachel care deeply about our kids and it shows. Love the studio.

Thank you so much for all the love and support you have given my girls! Best dance place they have in central texas hand down, huge recommendation!!

I'm only giving them a 2 star because my daughter liked her instructor…read more We did a 2 year old class. They would start a few minutes late and end a few minutes EVERY TIME. The owner and her adult daughters frequently bicker in the lobby. The owner and others gossip about other parents. My most recent time, my daughter had to use the restroom. When I took her back there, there was no toilet paper, soap, or paper towels. A male teenager up front said that they are going through it too fast so they won't be providing it and the owner gave me a toilet paper roll to bring back there but then said I had to bring it back. I then had to take my kid out to the car to use hand sanitizer. LOL. It's so sad, it's comical. I would use caution when deciding on this place.

ZERO STARS! This…read morebusiness is run with pretentious and petty mean girl energy. True "dance mom" atmosphere, where talent and growth are frowned upon unless you're in their clique. Save your money and sanity and find somewhere where your dancer will be fostered and appreciated. As I am reading these reviews, it's interesting to me that they ONLY respond to the parent once a negative review is left. Perhaps you should listen BEFORE a negative review is left, instead of trying to engage in PR after the fact. If Pivot genuinely cared about the dancer, instead of their "reputation", then people would never have anything negative to say. Absolutely disgraceful establishment!!!!!!

I have been to many different group fitness classes and I always catch myself looking at the clock…read morewondering when class will be finished. I have NEVER had to do this with a REFIT® class. It's a class where they have turned a "have to" into a "get to". They have managed to create an environment that is not only a place to get a really good workout in but also a place where you can have fun! However, that's only the beginning of the benefits of a REFIT® class. When attending a REFIT® class, I have discovered that you and I are so much more than a number on a scale or a size on a tag. I have a safe place to be just me. A place where I can leave all my "baggage" at the door. Whether it be worries, stresses, or just life in general-- I get to leave it all at the door for an hour and be there just for me. It's the same place where my weight loss turns into weightless. My mess ups into get ups. REFIT® is fitness for ANYONE. Young, old, shy, or bold--you fit at REFIT®. Its easy to follow format will ensure success for the beginner and the adept. Never have I found a community more accepting of the person I am than in the REFIT® community. Bridging people together in unpredictable circumstances. Making connections you didn't think were possible. Impacting yours and others' lives way beyond the room where the class is held. There's a reason why REFIT® is different than any other fitness platform out there and that is because it radiates excellence in all that is stands for. So don't take it lightly when I finish by saying, REFIT® is a life changing experience! Are you ready to change your life?
