The Dance Academy

"This place is horrible!!!! They tear the kids down when they should be building them up. They are very unprofessional! They gossip! They show favoritism! They allow bullying!!! The children should be able to be in a nurturing, fun, and most importantly a safe environment!!! These children work hard and should be treated with the same respect that anyone would want. The owner will not accept any fault when parents bring up any concerns nor does she try to fix the problems! She just kicks families out! This is so disrespectful and hateful to do that especially so abruptly and it affects the child(ren) envolved. If I could give negatives stars then it would be at negative 5!"

"The studio owners go out their way to provide every dancer with the best experience possible. They are both so kind and are always searching for ways to go above and beyond. I can assure you, your dancer will love their time here."

"Family experience. When my son passed I said nothing...Shari calls with condolences from herself and all the families from the studio. I was amazed. Shari then brought to our home handmade cards from the dancers and families along with gift cards for dinner to feed our enormous family. I never have experienced such selfless love. My daughter read every card. She loves dance! Our youngest daughter attends as well our son's favorite babygirl. He use to come to class to watch her so I could watch their sister."

"TDA has always put kids first. I appreciate the modesty they create for the girls , as well as putting their well-being as a priority . Appropriate music is always played and they have top notch teachers. I love that they have an adaptive program for kids with special needs that promotes a positive environment, and allows all types of students to feel successful in their genre. The owners are personable , creative , and have excellent customer service."

"My 3 yr old daughter attended the intro ballet/jazz class. After the third week, when she was comfortable with the teacher, they switched it. I didn't agree with the "technique" the teacher was teaching like blowing kisses and telling the "boys to stay away". I was looking for more classic introductory ballet techniques. We also paid for a years worth of recital costumes up front, and after withdrawing from the school after the fall are struggling to get a response to when we should pick up the summer costume. Overall lack of response when we were trying to sign up for the school and now when we are trying to pick up the remaining costume we've paid for."
