American Dance Academy 12447 South Crossing Drive, Riverton, UT 84096

"My granddaughters teacher is just mean and she has left class in tears more than once. This studio pics favorites and if your daughter isn’t one of them, she’ll be put in the back even if she is the only one in class that knows the routine. Think twice before you enroll your child here."

"The instructor wants girls to be able to dance and have a life outside of it. Fun place to be."

"This dance studio is the absolute best! They have all the dancers best interest in mind and I know my daughter is loved and truly cared about by every dance teacher there. She could be having the very worst day ever and I drop her off to dance, pick her up after class and her world is magically fixed. That's some awesome therapy that's so incredibly valuable! The technique taught is amazing and you can't beat their ballet program. I love that my daughter has a home away from home!"

"We have attended this studio for 3 years now! We've been to a few other studios prior and this one HANDS DOWN has the best and experienced teachers. The costumes are modest, the atmosphere is warm, inviting and accepting. I have two girls who dance here. The cost is so affordable compared to others. I've seen my daughters, both who weren't sure they loved dance, blossom and shine in confidence and technique and LOVE dancing now! My girls take ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical and do tumbling here!"

"We had our daughter doing dance at this place for a season and at first everything seemed fine. Then my daughter started asking us not to take her. When we asked her, she said she was still interested in dance but didn't want to go to this place anymore because the teacher was not nice. We pressed her some more and come to find out she like the class when the owner of the establishment was not there, but when the owner was there she would rather not dance at all. We made her stick it out because we had already paid the hefty fees for costumes (in the end never got to use these by the way) but we had to make her go. Then my daughter broke her arm and could no longer dance. We asked the owner to cancel our monthly payments as she was no longer able to participate. Despite this the fee still came out of our account. My wife tried many times to resolve this and get a refund for the fees we were overcharged but the owner always had an excuse as to why it did not happen. I finally went down there myself and confronted her about it and she (the owner) said that I was harassing her! I was simply asking for a refund for an overcharge. Not only that, but on their brochure (contract as they called it) they promised extra classes and a small discount for those parents that signed up for auto pay. Neither of these did we receive. In my opinion you should not waste your time or your money here. The owner is semi dishonest and my daughter now does not like dance!"
