Poor dance training, I had to relearn all of my dance fundamentals when I left this studio. We were encouraged never to train elsewhere while we were at this studio and the moment I did take class elsewhere I realised the lack of technique and skill the teachers here have. I am now a professional dancer but I had to work twice as hard to unlearn not only the incorrect terminology and technique I was taught but also the incredibly unhealthy thought processes that were trained into me here. Instructors have inappropriate relationships with students and I would never send my child here. If you care about your child’s safety, dance knowledge, and mental health SEND THEM ELSEWHERE.
My daughter has been dancing at TBOS for 4 years and it has been the best experience for her. She has grown incredibly as a dancer. The instructors have high expectations, but are also supportive and encouraging. Community of dancers here is wonderful.
This studio is amazing. My 13-year-old daughter has been doing musical theater for years but recognized that her dance skills needed work. However, it’s not easy to find a place with beginning dance classes for 13 year olds. Enter the Big Open Dance Studio - it’s been amazing for my daughter. Not only is the level of instruction right for her, but their focus is actually teaching kids musical theater dance!! I feel so lucky that we found this studio and its fabulous instructors and I highly recommend it to others looking for a similar experience!
My daughter loves her theater dance class that she takes here. The teachers are so supportive, while also pushing the students to do their very best. After trying out several other dance studios in the area, we finally found our home at The Big Open Space Dance. It's the best!
I love this studio so much! I’ve grown a lot over the past 3 years and have met fantastic people. The environment is positive and gives everyone the motivation to improve. The dance classes are extremely fun and the community is loving and supportive. It’s my favorite place to be!
