Studio S Broadway Academy of Dance

Very professional with a friendly staff and great variety of classes and schedule. I like how the classes are broken down by age group and dance style, making it easy to get both my girls into a class that’s right for them. Great location, right downtown RWC as well.

I base my review on how happy my child is there, and so far it’s a FIVE STAR. My six year old loves dancing here and enjoys her dance instructors very much. She’s also building a lot of confidence through dance … I recommend it to everyone! Staff is friendly and the studio is a fun environment.

I started taking adult tap three months ago from John at S-​Studio. It has been the best the most fun I have had exercising ever. The class is Friday 6 – 7 PM. It is such fun after a long week. I love it.

I brought my son for classes here and It’s wonderful. They have a really good student per teacher ratio. There is a lot of assistants in the class to help out the teachers and give more individual help when needed. I saw him enjoying it so much I decided to join as well. I am a choreography dancer and had very little technique under my belt but with in little time I felt my technique was already so much better. They offer everything you can think of even a cool stretching class that helps with your flexibility and they have new Zumba classes that are amazing to burn off all those extra calories, plus its really fun too.

Sadly, I have to agree with the previous two reviews. Its been a little over a year now since my daughter attended Studio S Dance Class. I recommended this class to several of my friends and neighbors because when my daughter was at age 3, I felt it was cute and sweet and a fun interaction with other kids for her. We continued taking lessons for a little over 2.5 years and my daughter never advanced, never learned anything new and the recitals (as lilly stated) were quite a spectacle of the owners family and extended friends. Our daughter had a whole 2 minutes on stage for the holiday show and for the summer show… and I was sooo embarrassed inviting all our family and friends. In fact, I didn’t even invite family & friends to the last two shows just to spare the bore. Personally, for me, the worst part of the whole experience was the fact that I expressed my concerns on numerous occasions with the owner & bookkeeper (personally & via email) in which they «brushed it under the carpet» and never really addressing any of my concerns. I genuinely wanted my daughter to be a part of a fantastic dance group, and sadly, I don’t feel the owners of this business are focused on that, instead it feels heavily focused on money & greed instead of nurturing and helping our children develop skills & confidence. On a side note, I really felt it was important to reward our little munchkins on a fantastic job of the 3 consecutive shows nightly for a job well done. They gave our kids a lollipop and pat on the back. Even for swimming lessons, my daughter earns a ribbon when she learns a new trick that she sleeps with at night because she is so proud of herself. I do not recommend this dance facility to anyone I personally know and only regret referring so many people here early on… I too hope they’ve caught on by now.

I waited a few months before writing this review to give myself some time to calm down. Sadly, several months later thinking about it still makes me furious. This is NOT a real dance studio. My daughter went her for 2 hours a week for a year and their recital consisted of 3 minutes of my daughter on stage following around a bigger kid (my daughter is 7) and over three hours of the older group doing the same dance moves to different music in different outfits. I was SO disappointed. I brought my in-​laws and were so excited to see what they had been working on. For over $ 200 per month, I expected more than a total of three minutes of her skipping around the stage in an expensive costume (which I purchased). I think it may be an okay studio for teenagers but they seem to use the tuition money from the younger kids to bankroll the older ones. We actually sat for over three hours watching over 40 small dances with the same teen aged kids with some family slides from the owners family mixed in. Did I mention I had to pay $ 40 per ticket to see this train wreck?! My mother in law was seething when we left and I was embarrassed to have been conned into thinking my daughter was being taught to dance with my hard earned money. The entire production seemed to be a tribute to the family running the school and we all got to pay to watch them pat themselves on the back for three hours. To be clear, the teenagers seemed to be talented and hard working. They need better teachers and better direction. I DO NOT RECOMMEND.

Sincerely?! There is no room for this place to be more lousy.
If you look the website you will thing that’s a serious business, although the dance schedule is not up-​to-​date, nobody answers the phone, there is an answer machine, you should listen to the message, still from 2009 before Christmas! If you email them with questions they take weeks to respond and the email I got didn’t even answered my questions. They never returned my phone calls either. Eek! Methinks not!
