Jaime shows more passion in her staff and students than any dance studio owner! She creates a welcoming space for students of all skills, talents, and backgrounds. Take your child here for dance classes and you won't be disappointed!

Not impressed at all. Very first class we took our kid to started late and ended early. Instruction seemed disorganized and lackadaisical. The experience wasnt what we expected from a professional dance studio. Well find somewhere else.

Watching both our girls grow and build their confidence in dance has been amazing! Jaime and Stephanie are both wonderful teachers and loved by each of their students!! I love that they make the instruction atmosphere fun and relaxed for their students!

My daughter has been at Artistic since 2014. It has been a wonderful place for her to continue to learn all types of dance. Right from the beginning all the teachers and students welcomed her and she felt like she belonged there. It has been the very best experience for my daughter.

My daughter loves this studio. We've tried others in SE Boise, but they just weren't for us. Miss Jaime and Miss Stephanie are excellent teachers. They put on a great performance and my daughter looks forward to every dance class. Highly recommend!
