Rhonda's FooteWorks

"Rhonda’s is an excellent facility. My granddaughter has been taking classes and she has really grown and come out of her shell because of the supportive and encouraging atmosphere that is provided to the students. When more individualized support was needed, the staff was patient, attentive and helpful. The owner is transparent, experienced, approachable and communicative (which is appreciated because parents aren’t always allowed to stay in the classroom which is a common practice with dance classes, it’s not a complaint), and always available to answer questions that may arise. The students and the adults all know up front what is expected of them, and it’s a great experience. We love this establishment!"

"A little backstory: My son is 2.5 years old with Down syndrome, physical disabilities and sensory processing challenges. We learned about an inclusive program through Encompass recreation with Rhonda’s Footeworks so we enrolled our son. Everyone involved has been spectacular and Viggo had so much fun that we enrolled him in Rhonda’s regular Tiny Tots class! Every instructor is so patient with him and his social development has blossomed so quickly because of his experiences there. We’re excited to enroll him in the Winter Break Fun program and can’t wait to see what else this amazing woman and her company offer in his future"

"Rhonda’s FooteWorks is a business, run like a business. There are over 300 dancers. The studio provides a quality dance experience for all children in the room. I have seen several reviews stating the studio cannot accommodate additional needs. Just like an other sport, program or activity there is no one on one aide. Teachers have one helper in the room, so that helper and teacher work with the entire group. They do offer solo study if you feel your dancer could benefit from a one on one environment. There are two levels of dance, student level (recreational) and company level (competitive). There are many different styles of dance and 3 different classrooms. The location is easy to access in the square in Watertown with lots for parents to do while class is in session. The studio runs on semesters (spring, fall and summer) and billing is also based on semesters. I have three children who have been dancing at the studio for 9 year. They love their friends, have a ton of variety and enjoy the opportunity to be part of the community. The competition team does performances to raise money to support the encompass program one Sunday a month and the dancers volunteer their time to work with encompass recreation kids one on one in a fun pressure free environment. They also do an annual performance for the love Michaela foundation to raise money for local families going through cancer treatment. We are very happy with our dance experience. My dancers have build confidence, independence, friendship, structure and technical skills."

"Rhonda’s FooteWorks is such a loving, positive place for children to attend. From the moment we stepped foot inside we have been treated with love and respect. My child has gained so much confidence, discipline and motivation in her dance class. She is really learning the basics that I know will be a great foundation to build upon as she grows as a dancer and member of the community. The instructors and director are very kind, accommodating and fun. Any concerns or questions I have had have always been met with understanding and thoughtfulness. I also love that it is such an inclusive environment, they really offer so much to such a variety of needs. You can feel how much care and grace this studio offers to all who enter. We’ve found our dance studio and are so happy to be here. I highly recommend to all families, especially military families who deal with so much change and uncertainty. Let Rhonda’s be a place of peace, commitment and fun for your littles..you will not regret it!"
