It is a nice studio and the teachers are great. I danced with this studio as a child and the quality was much better back then. Actual, trained teachers taught students regardless of whether they were recreational or competitive. Now, older "company" students (12-16 year olds) "teach" recreational kids. I noticed over the 5 years my daughter attended this studio that a) "teachers" rarely correct students form and footwork b) do not enforce dance principles and seem laissez-faire about recreational students choreography c) unless you are planning to have your child in competition, the dance classes

My daughter danced there for over 6 years and absolutely thrived from the discipline, travel, the creativity and the friendships that were formed there Despite being away from the studio since 2007, they're still in our hearts and thought a lot of. Thank you Miss Alana, Miss Stacey and Miss Olga.
