Absolutely incredible birthday party venue! The level of service, professionalism, and high energy/fun provided by the party hosts was exceptional. I was able to enjoy and relax with two dozen preschoolers which says A LOT about how well run they are. Floored by everything from setup to the custom dance they created, not to mention the gorgeous space. Cannot recommend enough based on how special they made my child’s birthday!

We had a fantastic experience celebrating our four year old's birthday at Downtown Dance Factory! The kids loved it, they were giggling and smiling as they danced, completed obstacle courses and played games to all their favorite tunes. The dance teachers were wonderful and the rest of the staff were very proactive in setting up, serving food/drinks and cleaning up afterwards. They even pack everything left over to easily go with us. We would definitely recommend as a fun and easy kid's party!

My daughter absolutely loves downtown dance factory! The classes and teachers are amazing. The teachers are great with kids and have a load of dance experience. The in-house store carries everything you need for you dancer and more! The birthday parties are great! We hosted 33 kids plus parents last year and it was the perfect sized party space. The kids had a ton of fun and DDF helped me do everything! The recitals are phenomenal! Last year my husband and I were so surprised and impressed by how amazing the recitals are and the quality of dancing. We were so excited to see the recital again this year and it didn’t disappoint. A lot of people must agree because the tickets sell out about as fast as a Taylor Swift concert! My daughter is asking to take even more classes next year which is a testament to how much fun she is having! Highly recommended this dance school!

Our oldest daughter started dancing at DDF in 2014 when she was 4 and now spends every day of the week there! In fact,now all three of our children dance there and it is truly our family’s second home! So grateful they have a place to inspire them, challenge them and encourage them to grow as artists. Because of ddf our kids have passion, purpose and a fierce love for storytelling! Teachers and staff go above and beyond every single day!
