We love dance deluxe! We started here in January with a Groupon and decided we would stay. Miss Ariel and Miss Alexis are phenomenal with these girls and they are amazing dancers themselves. I'm not sure of their backgrounds, but I know they both have danced professionally and it shows. If my daughter doesn't do well with a particular move, they take the time to correct her and make sure she's got it down. She has learned so much from them and I am very happy with how they treat not only my little girl, but my son who sits and hangs out while she dances. We just finished a recital. Here she did with her award with her name etched into it. She's very pleased!
