You are going to get one of two experiences: Option A is that your dancer will be placed in a group that learns new technique, has great choreography and receives lots of focus or Option B - if your dancer is deemed not worthy of the Option A group your dancer will be placed on a disposable team with mediocre instructors, recycled choreography and you will have the privilege of paying the exact same amount of money for this sub-par experience. If you want to be certain your dancer will experience an environment that support... read more

Better studios out there

Horrible! Studio has gone down hill over the past few years. Favoritism is abundant and obvious. Studio owner also coaches Lakeville district dance teams and if you don't attend Lakeville schools, don't plan on your child making any of the better competitive teams. Will take my child to another studio where their placement is based off performance, not favoritism!

Ok studio, it's like a small town studio. Good place for beginner or novice dancer but not the type of studio for an advanced dancer. Very nice studio space.

Very disappointed in the studio. All groups did horrible at nationals this past year (2017). If you are a favorite you will get special treatment however if you are not you will not get any individual attention. Lines are based on favoritism. No room for growth on the younger lines, all focus is on the very cliquey and full of mean girls (and moms) sweethearts line. Dance lines are getting smaller and smaller as people wise up and switch studios. My daughter will be switching studios after this disastrous and embarrassing ... read more

With so many dance studios in the area this is an easy one to bypass. I don't feel my dancer grew at this studio, mostly because the choreography never changed, the teachers didn't stay long and it didn't seem very organized.
