Clayton Valley Dance Academy

We just started here and are enjoying our experience! My daughter is having a blast and the staff is very friendly and great with the kids! Excited about the recital this summer!

I had very bad experience with this place. The owner of this place extremely rude woman. She came out and gave me a flier and walked away. I tried to catch her attention and ask some questions regarding my daughter as she needs special attention. Instead of coming to speak with me when I waved at her, she turned her back to me and ignored me.
Later in the weak I tried to call her– doesn’t pick up phone, left messages –never call back. It’s a shame she was so rude because I was seriously considering signing my daughter up for classes.

I am so thrilled to have found this place! Ms. Pam and Ms. Andrea are the kindest teachers around! My daughters love taking classes here year after year. What I love most though is the costumes! My biggest complaint about the former place we used to attend was that the costumes were way too risqué for the dancers. At Clayton Valley Dance Academy the costumes are beautiful and tasteful whether it’s for a 3 year old or a teen. This is our third year attending and I only have had positive experiences.

BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO. This dance academy is not only professional and well organized, they also plan the BEST Ballet Recitals ever.
First year with this academy and first of many more. Our daughter loves Ms. Andrea and she’s learned a lot over this year.
We can’t wait for next ballet season!

GREAT, GREAT PLACE FOR LIL ONES WHO LOVE DANCE!
My daughter started at 3 with a ballet/​jazz combo 7 week summer class and she loved every minute of it. Miss Andrea is amazing, she is warm and welcoming and is the perfect first memory of ballet school. We had to stop going do to the class time we wanted didn’t have enough kids. :(My daughter would ask me almost weekly when she could go back. A few months went by and the owner Pam called me. She said they had enough students to have another 3 year old class! My daughter instantly was thrilled to go back! This is a great studio, with kind staff who truly love what they do.

Today I went in to enroll my daughter. I was not addressed at all and the owner (i presume) an older women mid late 40’s was on the phone gossiping about how a parent was insisting on a size costume for her daughter that was not what they wanted for her. I was about a 10 min conversation of gossip. It did seem rather uncomfortable waiting for her to wrap up her phone call so I could speak to her, and even more so that she didn’t end the call to address me since I was a customer. To my surprise, another parent walked in with her daughter, the women then got off the phone ignored me even though I was sitting less that 1 foot from her desk and had made eye contact with with her, and proceeded to help this other women instead. I was so dumbfounded by her unprofessional way that I stood up and told her I would just come back as she was clearly not going to have time for me. It was a very bad first impression between the phone call and also the lack of attention to me even though I was sitting there waiting. Mind you I am a cancer patient, clearly bald with a head cover and not looking all so well and she still had no problem letting me sit there and wait while she carried on with her phone call. I will not be using their services that’s for sure. Someone needs a little customer service and human compassion 101 course!

Ms. Andrea was so wonderful with my daughter! I enrolled my 3 year old in the combo class for 3 year olds and she really enjoyed it. I wish we were able to afford to keep her in it, but hopefully will next year.

Pam is a great teacher, Teacher Sara is also very good with the kids. Amazing place. Highly recommend this dance studio!

My daughters have been going here for 2 years and there is no other place I would like to take them. The teachers are amazing, they learn a lot, and they truly enjoy every minute of it. Miss Andrea and Miss Pam are great with the little ones. Their e-​mails are a great way of keeping all parents well informed. We love Clayton Valley Dance.

I was so grateful to have found this place. Ms. Pam and Ms. Andrea care so much about dance and the art of teaching dance.

I love this place and Pam is the greatest dance teacher in the world.
