I spent 2 weeks looking for a studio and observed classes though the doors of the classrooms, This is the only studio that I have heard teachers say negative things to the children, but also have other children demonstate steps, while a teacher sits in a chair at the front of a class. How disappointing is that for the money your child in not being shown proper technique ,but an example from a 10 year old who still does not have the piroutte technique correct herself yet. I check into other studios, Dance Gallerie, Prestige in Surprise and Cutting Edge in Litchfield park. I chose one of those studios and wow what a difference, I could have picked any othe the other 3 and been more impressesed. Moving to the West valley offered challenges in finding good dance instruction, as the top 3 studios are in the east valley and time and gas do not permit me to travel that far. If your looking skip this studio, if you attended take some trial classes elsewhere and make a new choice before your deposits for recital come out paid in full by November (another strange policy)
Pros: Beautiful studio facilities
Cons: oversized class, tuition taken from your account, poor teacher
