Dance Studio of Maine South

"My sweet little girl is thriving in this environment. I’m super appreciative of all you guys do. She loves all of you and her dance buddies."

"We had a pretty awful experience at this dance studio. The teacher of my kiddos class didn’t know the dance and was on her phone most of the time. The prices are extremely high and no make up classes were offered when classes were canceled. The recital was another huge issue with this place. They sent home a costume with my kiddo on their 3rd class in early December for a recital that was in May. They charged my card $80 without my consent. The dance recital itself costs $22 per person to go to, including siblings and parents. I also had to pay for a full month of classes in May even though there were only 2 classes. The required $35 video fee was quite extreme as well. My kiddo was sick the day of the recital and couldn’t go. So, it was a lot of money invested without any reward. I was left feeling super exploited and frustrated and would definitely not recommend this dance studio to folks with young kids that are just looking for a fun dance experience."

"If you want your child to feel left out, this is your dance studio! I held off saying anything thus far for the sake of my daughter, this is her first experience with dance. The final straw was last weekend. The group was to dance in the parade. So, we invited family and friends to come watch. Some traveling over an hour to do so. We show up to the designated meeting place early to learn the dance for the parade. At that time we were informed our daughter would not be dancing but welcome to walk behind other dancers because she’s under 8 years old. What?! This was the first I’ve heard of this and I went through every email afterwards to see what the hell I missed. Not a single email or correspondence indicated she would not be welcome to dance. After hanging out for 20 min and being ignored the entire time, they asked dancers to line up. Our daughter excitedly joined and was quickly pointed to and told she’s not to line up. She was the only one. This isn’t the first time she’s been left out with dance studio of Maine south but it will be the last. Not to mention the insane cost of class only to have to pay $20 a person to watch your kid at their recital. TONS of “mandatory” fees and other BS. This place is clearly out to make quick money off of kids. They focus solely on the older kids. Not only was it evident at the parade, but with the recital as well. The little kids had no “dress rehearsal” despite being the most inexperienced. The dances were thrown together. I could go on but I’m sure you get the point. Don’t waste your hard earned money here. You’ll regret it."

"Great studio atmosphere with amazing and talented teachers! They have a little something for all ages, which I love. We’ve been here since they opened and couldn’t be happier.They really care about the health and well being of each of their dancers and teachers. I was impressed by the creative solutions they used to both comply with Covid restrictions and keep everyone dancing. Great place overall :)"
