    My name is Mckenzie and I took ballet and acrobatic lessons at this studio. While I moved a lot and have been to many dance schools in different states, this school was by far the worst dance school Iā€™ve been to. First of all, Jennifer denied me my right to wear a mask on stage during dance competition and I became sick after. Secondly, I learned absolutely nothing while there, and my fellow competition dance ā€œfriendsā€ were very unfriendly. I didnā€™t feel welcomed and felt isolated, and Jennifer didnā€™t do anything to help, even after my mom complained about it. I wouldnā€™t recommend any of my friends or family go to this dance studio. My response to Dancepointā€™s reply: Hi, and yes, Iā€™m only 9 years old and extremely advanced for my age. Writing happens to be one of my passions. Thank you for the compliment! One of the many things my mom has taught me was to take accountability for my words and actions, and as I read your response to my review, you show none. But then again, why would you, you have a ā€œbusinessā€ to run, right?? Now, letā€™s be clear, taking off my mask was never a choice, I was pressured. You and your staff pressured me to remove my mask. According to my mom, she did not give you nor your staff permission and was also not allowed backstage. As far as your ā€œcompetitionā€ team, it was obvious to me that anyone who tried out made the team. Lastly, you nor your staff can never say how happy my sister and I were at your studio. Itā€™s not your place. And itā€™s most definitely possible to not learn and progress at your studio. One very last noteā€¦my feelings are valid, and you should just accept the fact that I was unhappy at your studio and learned nothing. Just accept it! Have a nice dance life. :)

My daughter looks forward to going each lesson and loves to show her friends and family all the new cool moves she learns each time and its wonderful to see my child learning a new move and mastering it with the instructors help ! Thank you all at Dance Pointe for sharing your talents and passion for dance with my child and teaching her a lifelong skill ! šŸ’– šŸ©°āœØ

    My daughter has been a student at Dance Pointe for 4 years. She has learned so much and definitely see her progress through the years. Her instructors have always been fantastic and our daughter looks forward to each class. The atmosphere is very family oriented and the new studio is spacious and modern. Miss Jen and the staff have always been very caring and we feel lucky to be a part of the DPPAC family.

    My 2 year old daughter started attending this studio in December. The teachers are super patient with all the littles in the class and go out of their way to make them feel comfortable. Miss Erin is amazing with my daughter and all the other kids in her class.

    I have been with this dance studio for 16 years I believe in the teachers and the programs which the school provides. All the teachers here at Dance Pointe are so kind, respectful and willing to help. I have had the opportunity to work with all the teachers here at Dance Pointe. Miss Jenn is so helpful she understood my medical condition when my parents explained it to her and she was willing to help me become a stronger dancer. I have made so many friends here at Dance Pointe. When I was in school I didn't have as many friends but when I started here I knew that there was an opportunity to make new friends that would be by my side. I have had a few friends come here for bring a friend week and they said that the teachers here are so nice and respectful. I have had the opportunity to take several plus classes here and loved all the dances. I am also an assistant teacher in the young studens program and I love working with the young students because it is helping me improve my skills for my major in school. I'm so happy for the relationship I've had with Dance Pointe and thankful to have loving teachers and friends to help me continue with dancing. I recommend taking your child here. The people here at DPPAC are truly my family

    My first contact was with Jennifer. She is warm, understanding, caring and not pushy. She (and the teachers) welcomed my daughter into the studio with open arms. I was concerned at first that my daughter might feel out of place if all the other students were ahead of her but she did not! They are all at different stages and she fit right in. This is a wonderful studio to start off in and Iā€™m hoping we have the same experience in years to come!

    Hello, I was looking for a ballet school for my daughter and I found it on Facebook at Dance Pointe with the promotion of two weeks for $29 but my daughter really liked it and I decided to sign her up for her first class, it was a little difficult for me because of the language but they are very kind and patient and they explained everything clearly to me, I really liked the way they treated us, my daughter is currently in her second year and she loves going to classes, her teacher is very kind and patient. I really recommend her, my daughter is very sociable and confident now that when she started classes, she was very shy and insecure. Thank you very much for making us part of Dance Pointe. I really appreciate your patience in teaching and we hope to be part of it for many more years since my daughter loves it ā¤ļøā¤ļø
