Plays their music way too loud throughout the week. Constant problem for nearby stores and residential area nearby. Send your kids here if you want nasty looks as you enter and exit.

I live nearby and they are constantly playing their music way louder than is necessary. A professional dance studio would realize that their bass is disturbing the neighbors! I am happy to have a dance studio nearby. I'm not happy to hear their music thumping 300500 yards away all day, every day.

This school made us sit for 4 hours (and counting), for a recital rehearsal without any communication whatsoever happening. The recital is tomorrow and the call time for dress rehearsal today was 3:30 and its now 7:30 and we havent had any person approach anybody for what the heck is happening. Not even through PA system in the auditorium. We have been asking but nobody, not one, can provide updates on what the hell are we supposed to do. People dont have 4 hours to sit to wait for instructions. And when someone asks, somebody should be ready to answer. Not one person knows whats happening

We have had a great experience with Xtreme Dance! Our girls love coming to dance classes with Ms. Meredith and Ms. Kayci. We are really pleased with the quality of instructors. It was so nice to see all the progress they made at their recital last year and it was very well organized.
