Gulf Coast Dancenter

"A very professional group. The shows are great in quality and imagination. My daughter still dances with them even after graduating from USF receiving a BA in dance. All the teachers there are awesome at what they do. The owner, Mrs Anne, has put together a great team and a great dance studio!"

"I am so greatful I found Gulf Coast Dancenter! As an adult, it is so difficult to find ballet classes at intermediate/advanced level. I danced from childhood throughout college; it was a passion. I stopped once I started my career, but found myself missing the joy and the challenge of dancing. I found Gulf Coast Dancenter 4 years ago and am now here almost every day! Anne has created such an amazing community of adult dancers, from beginner to post professional, that is beyond welcoming. With the VAST amount of experience from all of the instructors, there is always ways to learn and challenge your training. New adult classes in different styles were recently added; there are options for every dancer! There are even performance opportunities for the adults! If you love ballet or want to learn how to dance, this is absolutely the studio for you!"

"What a delightful studio! As a returning dancer (it’s been about 30+ years), I was nervous but everyone - owner, instructors and fellow students - were so welcoming and accommodating. The adult tap class is fun and the instructor, Lyla, is patient, talented and kind. Highly recommend this studio!"

"As an adult returning back to dance can be intimidating. These teachers & everyone at the studio has been so welcoming. It feels amazing to be able to move again & these teachers are great with corrections, explanations & challenging us. I got the punch card and go whenever is convenient. Such a great asset to the community & happy to have found Anne + her wonderful teachers."

"My daughter Nina spent two years there. her the entire last year she hasn't felt comfortable in the valet class. yet we continue to send her. for the last three months my daughter almost didn't go, she didn't want to go. even so and everything we pay the monthly payment. We were surprised that at the dance academy they never called us to find out what was happening. They make me think they just want the money. When we tell them that my daughter Niña will not continue, they tell us that we had to notify her 30 days in advance and we had to pay her for the month. even knowing that she hardly went in the last 3 months. Not only that, they charged us the entire month of January without going and a week of February. very discouraging. They didn't care about my daughter (they never made an attempt to find out what was happening to their two-year-old student), or her family. just the money. we will never go there again"
