The Next Step Dance Academy

This place really is a joke, and shouldn't be open. I tried it out for my daughter, and was dumbfounded. The students dance on concrete floors and everything is a last minute mess. Steer clear of them, and invest in worthwhile dance training somewhere. ...read more

This place is a pretty sorry excuse for a business, especially one that's supposed to teach kids how to dance. Everything is unorganized and the place is in a constant state of disarray. and chaos. Don't waste your time. ...read more

The owner of this studio is extremely immature. If you're one of her "favorites" she'll be the sweetest person in the world, but she turns on people & can be the biggest b*tch. ...read more

Cheek to Cheek Ballroom Dance Studio

5.0

By Audrey Estrada

I have personally been taking classes from both instructors at Cheek to Cheek dance studio. Both Harry and Janelle are top notch teachers who will teach you both technical skills and styling. I have never regretted the money that I have invested in learning to dance at Cheek to Cheek. It has been such a pleasure to attend every weeks lesson. The dance party on Friday evenings are a great way to meet people and have a variety of music to dance to as well. I highly recommend this dance studio. ...read more

I was incredibly frustrated with the lack of professionalism at this studio. Nothing was ever organized and payments were demanded with less than 24 hours notice. The teachers are usually nice enough, but it certainly wasn't worth my time. ...read more

By anonymous

This studio was the worst I've ever seen. The teaching staff is very incompetent, 2 of the teachers are former students that lack any formal training. The owner is talented and educated but lacks teaching skills. The dances are boring and all very similar. Classes are taught with unprepared material. The dancers are not taught any measure of showmanship and look half asleep while dancing. If your looking for a quality dance education or a dance class that is worth your money this would not be the place. ...read more

I feel Fancy Dancin, helps children as individuals find their inner selfs. My daughter was a very shy and quiet child who felt she could not accomplish dance like her older sister. We have been in contact with Miss Bobbie and Chelsea since My oldest has been two. My daughter's have grown to respect theirselves as individuals, and have selfesteem,. I want to thank Fancy dancin for that. Because even through some rought times you can always find a friend here. ...read more

I was very disappointed by the lack of professionalism. While this "Mom and Pop" operation may suit others, for my child it did not work. There was never any billing statements, everything was last minute including costumes. The disorganization was stunning. They can surely teach dance but they cannot run a business! ...read more
