Ovations Dance Studio

Place cares more about making a buck than teaching the art of dance. Customer service horrendous, instructors mediocre, curriculum tailored primarily for their performance «company» which by the way is lacking as well. Place is all about business and nothing about dance instruction. If you care about quality and compassion look elsewhere.

This place is lucky to get 1 star. My niece has been dancing here for a short time. Seems to enjoy it so I, was so excited when I took myself and my two kids to her dance recital. Only… they expected me to pay $ 60.00 for three people. An adult, a 7 year old and a three year old. REALLY??? HOW YOU GUYS CAN JUSTIFY THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!! Her mother, grandma from Texas and sisters were expected to pay $ 80.00. WHAT!!! Thanks to the stupid idea of charging $ 20 bucks a head regardless of age our family will be missing her VERY FIRST DANCE RECITAL!!!
This will be posted to Facebook. Thanks again Ovation.

A great place, particularly for those interested in their children’s growth and development as people and not just in dance. The dance classes are great but the character development my grand daughters have experienced is priceless.

It took a few emails and a few weeks to get a reply back from this studio. The reply was short and to the point, but not very friendly. They don’t seem interested in having new students at this time, which is fine since we’re looking to take quite a few classes, but a friendly reply (after waiting weeks and multiple attempts at contacting them for one) would have been appreciated. I hope they keep the same dancers forever, or change their attitude, or they won’t be getting very much business in the future. Maybe they’ll read this review and it will remind them to have better customer service. Needless to say we will not bother with this studio again.

My daughter is about to be 3 and stared here a month ago. She absolutely loves it and the owner/​instructor is really great with the kids. I recommend trying out this dance studio of you have a new little dancer.

I danced here when I was in middle school, but I had to quit because I could never make the classes. I did tap and ballet. I miss tapping so much. Tanya and Joanna were my teachers and they were the sweetest women. They knew exactly what they were doing. I hope to get my daughter enrolled as soon as she’s old enough!

Great program! My daughter is in the 3 – 5 yr old tap/​ballet class and loves it. Miss Tonya is so great with the kids. I recommend this class for anyone wanting to introduce their kids to dance.

My daughter LOVES the tap /​ballet class! She’s been here for about a year now is always extremely excited when its time to perform her recital! The owner/​instructor is so sweet and provides a safe, fun learning experience.

My older daughter danced here for 10 plus years. She was never on the dance team, but it gave her a great dance background for her musical theatre and now she is on her high school dance team.
My younger daughter now dances at Ovations. She loves her classes and the studio offers a loving and friendly environment while learning solid dance technique.
Ms. Tonya is the owner and one of the instructors. She is an excellent teacher and is always open and willing to listen to her clients.

I want to parrot everything the above stated. In fact, my daughter was in the same class (I know by the name of the artist) and it was bad. In fact I thought that the end of the year routine was the worst of all of the routines from the other classes. This particular instructor is not very good with kids and is/​was late a lot to class. I really had a feeling that she did not want to be there. If anything, don’t take the hip hop or any class in which this particular person teaches. My daughter began a different class with her and has since quit from frustration. The other instructors aren’t too bad though.

Unfortunately, we had a very bad experience in a hip hop class. My two children knew a few moves and could feel the music. So, I thought I would put them in a class to really learn some great moves.
Not so. The instructor was a dancer for the Kings and she was all about them learning to do a routine to Rihanna. So, each class they played the same song over and over again and 15 little bodies tried to make movements that were so forein to them it was shameful .
I asked the teacher if she could mix it up a bit and put some other music on and she replied that they needed to get the rountine down so they could have their show at the end of the year.
I am not a show at the end of the year mom– I am a woman who wants her kids to know how to move be it at home in front of the tv or on the dance floor.
You can only watch your children 1 time in the month otherwise the curtains are closed.
I must say we do have friends that bring their child here and they love it– she is about the routine & show at the end.
