Havilah Dance Company

"This studio is filled with great dancers but the teachers favorite kids and it is terrible. My child was always put in the back and she would come home crying every day. Another reason why I don’t recommend this studio is the training they give the girls. So much and it doesn’t pay off I don’t think the teachers try they just pick there favorite kids and work well with them and it breaks my heart. There are so many other studios around the Charlotte community that will treat the kids better and the hard training will pay off. I very much do not recommend this studio."

"This is the second year that my daughter has danced at HDC. In the past two years, her skills and confidence have grown tremendously. We have been to two other studios in this area and my daughter was at a point where she dreaded going to dance. Once she started at Havilah, they truly embraced her and believed in her. Her perspective on dance completely changed. She looks forward to each practice and can’t wait to go back. They encourage each kid to be the best that they can be and invest themselves in each child and the studio. Anytime my daughter has needed a private lesson or extra instruction, Brooke, Brittany, or one of the teachers have been available. I am baffled by the negative reviews. The teachers and owners have always been approachable and welcomed feedback. Whoever is leaving these negative reviews, why don’t you try a different route to express your concerns and not try to cause “drama” when it is completely unnecessary? Use your real name name and stop hiding behind your phone! Try reaching out to Brooke or Brittany directly so that they can listen to your concerns. That’s how mature adults handle issues. You would be very surprised that they are genuinely great people they care about their students and studio. Havilah, thank you for all you have done to bring the joy of dance into my daughter’s life. You are amazing!"

"I would like to say that I am new here to the studio and I have experienced nothing but kindness from all of the staff that works at Havilah. Brittany and Brooke offer not only great technique and competition classes but are all around great people. They host bible studies and are always doing team bonding activities. My child was very nervous to be somewhere new and worry about how she would fit in. The students and staff have been nothing but welcoming and supportive. I do not believe in favorites and I certainly do not believe they do either or would not have my child dancing here. They push hard work and do what is best for all dancers and the dances. I am happy that we have found them and they have been so welcoming."

"My daughter has danced at HDC since she was 2 - we are now in our fourth year. The love and care these instructors pour into every student far exceeds the standard. My daughter lights up whenever she walks into the studio - it is truly her favorite place to be. We are so thankful to have found a studio that cares about all of their dancers and families as much as Havilah does. Highly recommend!!!"

"We’ve been at this studio since it opened. Since then, we’ve seen this studio grow into a loving atmosphere where not only does my child learn about dance, but she’s also learns about supporting and encouraging her teammates and reaching goals that she didn’t think she could achieve. I would say my favorite thing about this place is that the two owners take the time to have a Bible study at least once a month at their own homes. They have been very positive role models and mentors to all of the kids there. In the past, any time we have had any issues or concerns we were able to reach them by phone, email, text, or face to face. They’ve always been very receptive to helping us work to find a solution if we’ve had any concerns. Brittany and Brooke both have huge hearts and knowing them for 7 years, I can tell you that they care deeply about their students and the families there. They’ve both, along with the other teachers, pushed my daughter to reach her full potential and become the dancer she is today. She’s more confident and loves dance more and more every year she’s with them. We love it here and I personally feel like it’s more of a family than just a dance studio. I would recommend this studio to anyone. Actually, my family saw how much we like it here and decided to bring my little niece and cousin. If you’re in the Charlotte area, come check them out!"
