| - This dance studio has a lot to offer! There are definitely some things that I was very impressed by and also there were a few things that were questionable.
First of all, the front desk staff was super helpful! She helped me with all of my questions and concerns... and I had a lot of them.
I was impressed with the amenities that were on site (other than the dance studios) They have a lounge equipped with tables and couches perfect for waiting parents or a break between classes. There is also a decent size fitness center with a wide variety of machines. I heard that some of the moms signed up for trainers during their daughters dance classes... how convenient!! They also have vending machines with snacks, drinks, and coffee.
There are 4 dance studios all of them different sizes to accommodate large and small classes.I did notice that the studios were cluttered with costumes, tumble mats, props, etc. The clutter made the studios seem smaller and disorganized. Are there no storage closets?? This place is huge there has to be somewhere else these things can be stored.
The students seem to lack discipline, They scurry between studios, come in late to class, talk, goof around, and don't listen to the teacher. I also wasn't sure why there were little 7/8 year olds mixed in with 14/15 year olds. The younger kids stole the teacher attention with their constant need for discipline. I feel bad for the older girls because they have so much potential and have really amazing skills already, but the teacher could not provide with with any feedback besides using them as an example to the younger girls of how quiet they were (which didn't help the younger girls be quiet anyway). I would love to see the age groups separated a little more for the sake of the students. I mean they have the studio space - why not give your students a little more personalized attention?
I do also want to address the adult ballet class. It is awesome for adults who don't have much experience. But it is also great for anyone who does have experience. I know I worked up a sweat. The class has a friendly and welcoming vibe and the teacher was full of energy. Great for parents to do while their daughters are in class. As one of the moms in this class said, "I now have a huge appreciation for what my daughter does." Amazing. I wish my mom took some adult ballet classes :)
The entire vibe of the studio is definitely competition. When you first walk in there are these huge trophy's lined up against the wall. All the kids are running around in tiny booty shorts and bra-like tops. The all inclusive aspect (dance, study, work out, eat, probably even sleep/nap) everything you need is a recipe for long nights at this studio.
