Expressions Dance Academy

My daughter has been attending this school for about 7 months and it’s horrible, don’t spend your money. The communication is absolutely, unequivocally horrific! I’ve never experienced anything like this with any dance school.
The good thing is that the dance teachers are nice, unfortunately the office help with the exception of Melissa is terrible. Phone calls are NEVER, returned, the owner has no regard for her customers, or students. I’ve left several messages, emails, and in all these months have NEVER heard from her. I have no idea what she even looks like.
The office person Shana isn’t very personable, nor professional. It’s like talking to a disgruntle teenager that really doesn’t want to be there, when I’ve attempted to ask questions. This is at the very beginning of our experience there, and throughout our time at this school.
We asked to see merchandise, and she signed and rolled her eyes, I guess it was too much to show us a couple of t-​shirts. This is definitely not the type of person you want representing your school, however we continued, hoping the classes would make up for the lack in all the other areas.
We asked about other classes that were supposed to be offered, and the office person Shana never had any answers for us, nor did she ever get back to us.
The teachers are nice, but moved my daughter around, had subs numerous of times, which we understood completely, but unfortunately, my daughter after so long at that school would not be in a recital because she was never really part of any class and wasn’t taught a routine.
This was a complete waste of time, I feel so taken advantage of because at the end of the day, my daughter just wanted to dance, and learn as much as possible. Unfortunately, this school couldn’t do their job properly, and were so unprofessional that they basically pushed us out the door.
I encourage anyone to KEEP LOOKING ELSEWEHRE, this school was a huge let down.

We tried Expressions when the Hip Hop instructor from Fabulous Feet moved and it was AWFUL. The hip hop class at Expressions was unorganized with very simple moves and no routine was taught. We immediately took my daughter out of the class (after attending once) but the owner continued to charge us each month — despite the calls from myself and the credit card company. I finally cancelled my card so she would stop charging me. VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE

Expressions Dance Academy is a fun, positive, professional place to experience dance. My daughter has been at Expressions for 8 years and is on the competition team. I think it is important that the owner, Misty, and all the instructors are highly trained and educated dancers who have been at Expressions for years. They are committed to their studio and the well being of the kids. Rather than feeling like a «number», the teachers, staff and families feel like a team. My daughter has made progress in dance and has become a more confident person because of her experience at Expressions Dance Academy.

My daughter has been dancing at Expressions Dance Academy for 2 years now. This year we have decided to let her join the competition team! So excited! The instructors are amazing and make my daughter feel so welcomed. They also explain things to me with class advancement. Couldn’t be more satisfied! Technique is very important and these instructors rock it!

This studio has college educated dance instructors that are very good with kids. I have girls ages 7 to 11 and all of them enjoy the classes at this studio. The rates are very competitive for the area and I found a class for all my girls that fit our busy schedule. This is a great place for kids to dance.

Took my 4 year old daughter to try dance and once I paid the registration fee and bought a pair of special tap shoes she started dancing. The class only had 1 other girl in it so it finished fairly quick. Afterwards my daughter did not want to come back and obviously dance was not for her (maybe the small class size). Not a big deal the instructor seemed nice and I thought that the customer service would be just as helpful… Wrong.
Long story short I couldn’t get any flexibility from management so I’m stuck paying $ 80 for one 30 min class. The shoes were worn once in her studio for 10 mins and she told me no refunds and to sell them on ebay! $ 20 Registration fee, which is just capturing your contact info and credit card number, is non refundable, and even the class fee was non refundable. You would think that there would be some understanding or a free trial like most other cheer, karate, and dance studios. I wont be coming back here that’s for sure, Its all about the dollar bill with this studio, times must be tough.
I gave an extra star because the instructors are really patient with the kids but as far as the business goes that’s were the compassion ends.
