To all parents living in Frisco Area. If you're a working family that doesn't mind being billed for service you havnt been offered then this is the place for you! If you go on vacation and notify them weeks in advance they don't offer refunds nor makeups. are you kidding me! How do you run a business like this! Is it expected that families won't have vacation or emergencies. I will never bring any of my children to this establishment. Would greatly appreciate , if any could reference another dance studio.

We paid for trial class and then had to reschedule for some emergency reason. They said they cannot reschedule or cancel the trial class and did not refund or adjust the amount. Not flexible at all. We lost our amount paid for trial class. They never informed us upfront about this. Bad experience!! Make sure to know the terms before paying for trial classes.

100% recommend Mrs. Shafagh for Piano lessons. I can't say enough about how friendly and encouraging she is! They offer Online Piano classes during the Pandemic (Covid19) and I would say the quality is as good as the in-person Piano lessons before the Pandemic. All I can say is, I definitely recommend Shafagh at Frisco School of Music if you're looking for an amazing Piano instructor for Kids in Frisco, Texas. She's also fluent in Persian if you need a Farsi speaking Piano Tutor in Dallas Fort Worth for kids.
