We love Royal Dance at the Forks! Our children's love for dance continues to grow and we get to witness their growth as dancers. The studio is small and tidy, and with it being located inside The Forks, there is lots to see and do while the kids are in class.

I was really excited for my daughter’s first dance class at Royal Dance — she’s 2 years old, full of energy, and absolutely loves dancing at home. I thought this would be a great way for her to not only enjoy what she loves but also to learn, grow, and socialize with other kids. (Fyi: the class i enrolled her in was preschool party for 18months and up) Unfortunately, our first class didn’t go the way we had hoped. The activities were not engaging or age-appropriate in my opinion. The class involved handing out props or toys while music played, but after just one song, the props were taken back. As any parent of a toddler knows, this sudden transition — especially when a child is still enjoying something — often leads to tantrums. That’s exactly what happened. My daughter cried, confused and upset that the toy was taken away so quickly, and rather than trying to help her through it or offer a comforting approach, the class just moved on to the next activity. The same thing happened again later in the class, which left both of us feeling frustrated and disappointed. We didn’t return after that first class. It was disheartening to see my child upset in what was supposed to be a joyful environment. I do feel like I wasted my money, but more than that, I didn’t want to put my daughter through that kind of experience again. I hope the program can better consider the emotional needs of toddlers when planning future classes.

I would like to leave a review for Royal Dance Forks and share some thoughts. The teachers are great and very friendly. We’ve had no issues, and we truly appreciate their work. I just have a few suggestions to help improve the learning experience. As parents, when we enroll our kids in dance classes, we hope they will not only build confidence but also truly learn how to dance. Suggestions: - Starting around age 7, kids should be encouraged to memorize their routines. This helps build their confidence and allows them to perform without needing the teacher on the side during the recital. -To support this, teachers should break the choreography down into sections, maybe one line or a few lines of the song at a time. They shouldn’t move on to the next part until the kids are comfortable and have started to memorize the current section. -It’s also important that teachers check if the students are doing the correct moves. Sometimes, teachers continue dancing with the music and changing movements, and the students just try to follow along. Instead, teachers should pause when needed and correct the students to make sure they’re learning properly. This approach helps kids learn the dance better and also prepares them to be more competitive in the future. That’s one reason many parents enroll their kids, not just for fun, but to help them grow and learn real skills. Just like in school, we want them to learn with the right support and guidance. We truly appreciate everything the teachers do, this is just a suggestion, and we hope no offense is taken. Thank you :)
