I adore this place! I take the Monday night ballet class with Charlotte. She is so kind and patient with new students and or students who are getting back in shape. It's clean, the staff could be friendlier but other than that it's perfect. I'm basing my rating on the class not the staff.
If you want a very unorganized place for your child come here. The communication here is awful! It's unfriendly and unorganized I don't know how else to explain it. You show up and there's a note on the door saying this studio is closed and giving the address to the other studio. No warning or anything. There was a change in recital location and one mom didn't even get any communication about the change and her daughter missed the recital because of it. No remorse no sincere apology or anything. The older girls are taught to dance like strippers with their underwear hanging out at every show it's disgusting. I've been in dance personally and I have watched my performances and the performances my daughter has been in with this company were awful. The little ones look great because they are cute but to look at the future of what the little ones would be learning is nothing close to being a dancer. The owner is very bad at communicating and doesn't make you feel welcome at all. The DVD's you pay for take months and months to come in and honestly they are videotaped horribly!! You can find better out there!! I highly recommend you look elsewhere!
The teachers are very professional and experienced. My kids have learned so much and they have fun dancing. Everyone is very friendly and we look forward going every week. Prices are affordable and quality of dance is great. We love it here.
Carmichael Academy of Dance is wonderful. The owner is very professional and cares so much for each and every student. The instructors are great with professional backgrounds. Your child will have a wonderful experience. The studio is very welcoming.
Some of these reviews are crazy. This place is amazing, I love the fact they have kiddos who have never danced to ones who have danced for years! The owner and teachers truly love the kids and put their heart and soul into them!
Great place to learn to dance for all experience levels and all ages. Mrs. Michelle (the owner) is awesome at what she does and has incredible patience. If you want your child to actually learn proper technique, not just memorized routines, then this is the place to go.
This place is so fun! My daughter loves it-she takes tap and ballet. Wonderful instruction-not crazy serious, but enough so the students learn a ton, have a blast and have recitals.
We love Carmichael Academy of Dance!!!! My first daughter started dancing there just under 4 years ago, she has since joined the competition team. My second daughter started last year. The owner Mrs. Michelle has the patience of a saint with the small ones. She has been very accommodating and has even created additional classes that worked better for our schedules in the past. If you would like quality dance instruction from a former professional dancer, this is the place for you.
My daughter started dancing at Carmichael Academy of dance when she was 3, almost 4 years old. My daughter has enjoyed learning dance with Ms. Michelle. She has grown more patient and is learning to work within a group. I was worried when she started that it wouldn't go well. My daughter has a sensory processing disorder and can act unpredictably at times. Ms. Michelle has been very patient and loving to my daughter. She makes changes to help my child fit within the class environment. My daughter holds her in high regards. It has given me faith that there will be people who can treat my child with respect and kindness when they encounter the difficult behaviors. We are always treated with courtesy and respect. When people ask where my daughter dances, I always recommend Ms. Michelle. If you are looking for a creative and positive environment for your child, this is a wonderful place.
My daughter has grown a lot since moving to a studio after dancing recreational. Communication is great via email, text, and Facebook. Great support from the teachers and owner.
