This studio is great for recreational purposes. My daughter attended this studio for several years, and rarely felt challenged, and often ill prepared for performances. The studio owner/instructor is abrupt, rude, and very insensitive. She has used her authority inappropriately on many occasions, by humiliating young children in front of their peers. My youngest daughter has very bad memories of her experience with the studio, because of the harsh and cruel practices by the owner and director when teaching the younger children. If you want your child to excel and have a positive dance experience, keep looking.
