Very reasonably priced. The instructors are great, but there is a high turnover, which is sad for the students and frustrating for the parents. Miss Gigi does not provide clear, consistent guidelines. There is not clear outlines of class assignments; sometimes based on skill, sometimes based on age; other than pre-pointe/pointe, not sure why anything should be based on age. Also, be careful as Step It Up does not offer all types of dance. Nothing in the contract says you cannot dance elsewhere to achieve this; however, Miss Gigi may state otherwise.

We love the owner- Ms. Giselle. She has been the best instructor for my 5 year old daughter and my daughter loves ballet and will love full day summer camp. 💗💗💗🙌🏽👌🏽

My kids are here three nights a week for ballet, tap, and gymnastics, and we’ve had such a great experience. Every instructor is so kind, patient, and friendly, and my kids have grown so much in both skill and confidence. It’s been really special to watch. We love Ms. Gigi and the whole staff. I highly recommend this studio!

My fiancée and I came to Giselle with a unique and challenging request - learn a tango dance for our wedding. Despite having only a month to work with, and us having no prior dance experience, she made it happen! We were really pleased with the result, and our guests were blown away. Giselle choreographed a dance from a song we sent her, was very patient with us throughout the process, made it clear that practicing outside of class would be essential, and gave us so much encouragement and enthusiasm. Would absolutely recommend if you are hoping to learn a specific dance, or just get some help with dancing in general.
