Please consider training your instructors on how to appropriately address any issues with the parents regarding students in the classroom. The bully technique that Mrs. Ashley has used several times in her body language, actions, wording & demeanor to myself & others is concerning to me. Today I witnessed her actually grabbing a child & dragging her across the floor. I was horrified. You need to look into educating your staff on the development of 3 year olds or re-​evaluate whether they are an effective fit for that classroom age. Highly disappointed with how Mrs. Ashley conducted herself these past several weeks. I obviously will not be recommending you to others & will be letting others know how poor our experience was.

My child had a positive summer camp experience here. But we wouldn’t go back or recommend it. Ask for the extensive list of policies and review carefully before making any payments.

This was a definite «meh» for us. Chickadee enrolled in the 9-​month program (one ballet/​tap combo class per week and a recital in June) last year. The studio was located just off of the traffic circle in O-​town a couple of years ago, but we didn’t try it until it moved to the new location on 170.
The building is nice enough. There are 4 or 5 studio rooms each with a glass door or glass panels so that you can watch your aspiring Pavolva or Astaire at work. There are a benches in the lobby area, but most ‘rents just hang out in front of their children’s studio. One guy even brought his camping chair – nice!
On the plus side, there are oodles of class offerings here – hip hop, ballet, tap, jazz, music, art, and musical theater. If you have an older child, s/​he may get more out if it than Chickadee did. Her teacher didn’t seem enthusiastic at all and didn’t do much individualized instruction despite the small class size.
Tuition was $ 55/​month, I think. This was not pro-​rated for December (when classes were cancelled for winter break) or for the blizzards. The recital costume (admittedly cute) was $ 110. The recital was well-​produced but TOO LONG for the little ones.
