Allen Dance Studio

Great programs for kids ages 4 and up. Ballet, jazz, tap, lyrical, hip hop as well as great competition teams. The studio has teachers that can work with experienced dancers as well as first timers. We haven’t experienced the turnover amongst teachers that another reviewer complained about a year ago. I highly recommend this studio.

We moved to the area and found this dance school. It’s a great location. My child enjoyed a few dance classes at this school. However, it is just unfortunate that in the four months there she had 3 teachers.
There should be advance notification that a teacher is going to leave instead of showing up to find out that a teacher quit.
Another example. In the summer… A teacher doesn’t show up for a class; there should be a notification process for the parents; instead we all sat and waited 30 minutes before someone notified us that a teacher had car trouble.
My child thrives on a good balance of a teacher having strong technique, not too much play, stability with control of the room/​students. I understand that some times a situation calls for change but for my child it was too much to quick without warning. It’s such a nice location; I wish it would have worked out.
Update: November 3, 2014
To further bring it home… with the non-​notification of teachers leaving the studio, the owners sent me an invoice for ½ payment which is not in the policies or procedures. This is ridiculous business practices. You fail to give your customers notification of teachers leaving or failing to attend class due to whatever the circumstances… It is wrong and bad business practice to try to bill customers when they remove their children due to many abrupt change of teachers.
