Dance Factory Reviews
Without a doubt, the best dance studio both my daughters had the honor of experiencing! Even there annual dance recitals are more epic than the Superbowl half time shows:-)
May 29 · Melissa J. KrakerMy daughter has learned so much at this school, we are so excited that we made the decision to join the Dance Factory Family. The instructors are amazingly talented and work so well with young children. Dance factory is professional, organized, clean and they actually care about their students. The recital was absolutley amazing, what a performance they all put on. I am so proud of how wonderful my daughter and her class did, they all learned so much this year thanks to our wonderful teachers. So if you are searching for a professional dance school for your child I 100% recommend Dance Factory. I hardly ever write reviews but Dance Factory definitely deserves it.
June 22 · Charisse SkellyUnless you have a child that is competition material , I would not send them here. They say that they have "recreational" dance classes, but if your child is not "up to par" they will single them out and make them feel bad. This happened to my daughter who is only 5.
October 20 · Nicole Perry**** EDITThe best thing about your response is that the situation you are talking about was not the child I am referring to! The child i am referring to was already in her mothers arms crying when that happened. Also thank you for confirming that you are not an inclusive space for neurodivergent kids, further proving the point. This is not an argument, and the fact that as a business owner your response was defensive and honestly repulsive, it goes to show what type of operation you run. Good luck to YOU.If your child has ADHD or Autism, DO NOT SEN THEM HERE!! If you’re looking for your 5 year old kid to just have a hobby and not be treated as if they’re being trained in the army, DO NOT SEND THEM HERE!!I am not one to write reviews, but I am absolutely APPALLED at the behavior of both one of the dance teachers, and the owner. And if they had handled this situation differently, I probably wouldn’t be writing this at all.I was just informed about a situation involving a girl who is neurodivergent and 5 years old. This school has not only actively discriminated against her by excluding her from class activities for “bad behavior”, (which they refused to say what that was even when asked multiple times by the way). But the owner is rude and completely missed the point when it was explained to her why the parents were upset. The only one with “behavior issues” is the staff, it seems.The mother is not the type to stand for bad behavior in her kids. Not in the slightest (believe me, I would know) but when you actively single out a kid by not letting them participate in a class activity and send her out of class crying, and won’t even tell the parent what the problem is? Idk. Sounds like the problem is very much YOU.So here’s a message to the owner. I am another person who feels this way, which you so rudely disregarded (ever consider that the reason nobody has spoken up is because they know that you’ll invalidate everything they say?).Consider this review a “consequence of bad behavior”. 👍🏻
