Studio 3 Performing Arts Academy 511 West Guadalupe Road, Gilbert, AZ 85233

"I originally rated this studio poorly based off my first time experience with dealing with them. There was very poor communication. I deleted it because I felt bad for a small business. Here I am a year later of my daughter attending and nothing has changed. I have two unanswered VMs that I left because I had questions with no return phone calls in weeks. The program she participated in earned them two stars based on peer relationships and instructors. The studio itself seems to have challenges caring about communication. We obviously will not be returning."

"Enrolled my son for acting summer camp back in 2021. He was 14 at the time. I called to make sure he was going to be with kids his age. They said yes. He was the entire week with little kids (ages 4-7). He hated it. They never sent me a video with his "acting" that was included in the package. Very bad communication when things don't go as expected."

"Tried musical theater and fliphop (jazz and tumbling) back to back for my 5 year old this past weekend. I loved how the students started right away learning choreography and the instructors were patient and kind during the class, and have been kind to me as a single mom with a difficult schedule. I highly recommend this school. There are several shows that the students can perform in and audition for throughout the school year with the costume included for free with the tuition. This is a professional and legitimate school for dance and theater. It will help with building confidence and public speaking skills, which are important."

"We just did a trial this past week with Studio 3 and decided to take the plunge and become a dance family. My 3 year old has been singing and dancing since she could talk and walk but I was hesitant to get her started because I wanted to find a place where skill, community and fun trumped make up, revealing costumes and cutthroat competition. That's just not the right fit for our family. As soon my 2 daughters and I entered Studio 3 we were greeted warmly with my daughter's name on the welcome board. The other moms were kind, and didn't mind my crazy toddler offering them snacks and exploring the space as all 2 year olds do. As she toddled around from studio to studio we saw kids of all genders, sizes and backgrounds engaging happily in instruction. I get the feeling that all are truly welcome here just as they are! My 3 year old loved her class and classmates and has asked daily when we can return. The schedule and pricing is very straightforward and the staff is great! I'm very grateful we found Studio 3 and look forward to a wonderful future with them!"

"After going to a real "dance mom vibe" trial class elsewhere I wanted to branch out and try a different place before I committed myself to being around those kind of parents every week lol I took my almost 4 year old daughter here for a trial musical dance class and she absolutely loved it! She had the best time and it was so sweet to see the kids just having fun while also learning. The teacher was very friendly and my daughter could do an adorable choreography by the end of it! I was so impressed. The staff wears masks as well which I do appreciate. We have now signed her up for weekly lessons and are looking forward to the recitals throughout the year!"
