I wanted to love this place being it was my little ones first dance class. My daughter got bullied by a girl in there. In front of the instructor, that did nothing about it. She was told to get away 3 times while trying to participate so she backed up aginst the wall and cried. I finally went in the room and got my child out of there. Horrible first experience, and im just not up for giving them a second chance after the instructor allowed that to happen in front of her.

Cole is really attentive and responds really quickly, and it's apparent that she really puts a lot of care into the dance studio. It's a great value for anyone looking for an after school activity for their child.

Cole and Klaine are fantastic and truly care for my daughter. We aren’t just a number or a source of income for them. The class sizes are small and my daughter gets a lot of guidance and instruction. I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else!
