Purely Dance

I have been a student here at Purely Dance for less than 6 months or so. And I really enjoy it. I am not your typical dancer. I am 30 yrs old, for one thing. But I LOVE dancing and everything about it! I am a dance enthusiast/​hobbyist. Until I have my own baby to bring up in the dance world I will continue to take classes and educate myself on all things dance. (Well, even after, I am sure I’ll take classes with them!) Dancing makes my heart happy.
Now, as for the studio, they just relocated very close and are situated on 43^rd ave and Bell Rd, in the same plaza as the 99 cent only store. The owner is Carolyn and her daughter is the one who teaches me jazz. I’m pretty shy and feel a little awkward being placed in a class with teens, but I just try my best. I’m actually more limber than they are and really give it my all and try my best at all the tricks/​choregraphy. Most of the teen girls are so quiet themselves. But I am not there to socialize, I am there to learn, and its nice being in a room with people that share the same passion about the same thing as you.
The studio has a decent sized waiting area, a front desk, a long hallway that leads to the students sitting area that has benches, a water dispenser, a bathroom, 2 dance rooms and cameras to watch your child on. They also have a small basket of «clean socks» in case you forget some. lol
Current tuition rates are $ 40 for one lesson per week and $ 72 for 2 lessons a week. The rates are actually pretty reasonable and affordable.
Like I said, Carolyn and her daughter are very polite and friendly and I almost pick up on a Christian vibe. I feel very comfortable here and would recommend you check it out if you have kids who have expressed an interest in dance training!!!

I have been taking my daughter here for almost 2 years now it is a great place. When they opened they offered a month free, how could I refuse right!?!/! So we tried it out it is even out of the way for us! There is another dance/​gym place practically accross the street by me I could throw a rock at it. It has a warm homey feel to it, there is a changing room for the girl’s and the dance room is enclosed. The parents can watch the dancers on the closed circuit tv in the front room. This is a + I think as there are no distractions for the kids. Other studios have glass on one wall so parents can watch, my kid would just look at me and not focus on the dancing.
It is family owned and I feel very close w them, they take the time to know who you and your kids are as well. They like to see the progression of their teachings its heart warming! I have to say Mrs. Marianne is the best teacher she is very experianced and does so well with the wee ones, her energy is so high and you can tell she loves what she does! They have a recital once a year and they put alot into it. The owner is Carolyn and her daughter’s teach some of the classes. I am not a religous person by all means but they are a Christian conservative family. Her daughter’s were not comfortable at other studios where their costumes would show a little too much skin and the routines got somewhat provocative. They opened Purely Dance they have doubled their attendance in one year and I see them continuing to grow! They started offering an adult tap class on friday’s which me and my younger sister are now taking by the way. Come join for a free class! The summer specals are going to be great!
