Grace Dance Studio

We love Grace Dance Studio!! So many wonderful and talented teachers. My daughter has been attending Grace since she was four and she has learned so much in the time she has been at GDS. She has grown into a very talented and beautiful dancer! I can’t thank her teachers enough!! We love our GDS family!!!

The studio needs some revamping! There's pieces of paint peeling in the hallways, the classrooms are dingy and the ballet bars are extremely bent, the waiting area seats need to be replaced,and the bathrooms could use some TLC also. I wish that the owners would invest into their studio and focus on these things and make it much more pleasant and inviting to go to for the families who don't want to move our kids to another studio . We do love the dance teachers and the recitals are always fun though. Thought I'd mention that Ive talked to many of the other parents there and most of not all agreed that the owners could do a much better job investing into cleaning and revamping the studio up. Like if we need to do a fundraiser or more dance clinics please let us know! We want to be part of GDS but we also want a nice studio for our girls.

I signed my 5 year old up for tap and ballet last week. I went up to the studio to talk to them first, and the receptionist was so nice and helpful. Then yesterday, was her first class. She was a little nervous, but when class was over, she was so happy. She talked A LOT about how much she loved her teachers. I didn't catch their names yet, but she just loved them. Even today she is still talking about how fun it was and how nice her teachers were. I'm so happy that they have teachers that are so good with little ones.

UPDATE: I noticed that in her response, she neglected to explain or justify why, all of a sudden, her devotion to CDC guidelines took a backseat on the day of the dance performance. If she was intellectually honest, she'd admit that her COVID policies had nothing to do with a consistent devotion to Fauci or the CDC, but were fueled by irrational fear instead of a logical assessment of risk. The snarky attitude toward existing customers made it that much easier to leave. In case anyone is curious, I did find a dance studio that fits our needs at Adrenaline Dance. Irrational COVID policies - namely, masking children who are at greater risk of dying while being driven to the studio than of COVID - is why I pulled my two girls out after one season. The best part is when they inconsistently allowed the dancers to go unmasked on the day of their big performance; as if COVID risk magically disappears on performance day. If rational parents accept the risk to drive their kids to gather and dance at a studio, then they obviously accept the risk of COVID, which was made evident by the fact that nearly zero of the dancers voluntarily wore masks on performance day. I also don't like their policy of charging for missed classes due to planned vacation or unplanned illness but at least they're transparent about their policies. But Meagan's "if you don't like it then leave" attitude is probably the most disturbing in my opinion. It gives the impression that she takes her customers for granted and doesn't have to work to keep them.

Family oriented. This dance studio has been in my family since 2010. The instructors are awesome with the kids and easily become role models as the children grow. The recitals they put on are spectacular. I wouldn't dance with any other studio.
