West Concord Dance Academy

Quality dance classes with quality instructors! This studio stands above the rest. Friendly and knowledgeable staff geared for the beginner to advanced. My daughter has been dancing here for 9 years now. she loves it!

This studio is a very good studio if you have not been to many other high quality places. I have recently joined a new studio (The Movement Dance Center– Highly recommend) and I have been taking privates there. The first thing my teacher said to me was, «Wow, your old dance studio has taught you no body alignment. There is nothing you can do in dance without the basics, and they haven’t taught them to you!» I had not been challenged at all while I was there, and i ended up learning most of my dance skills from youtube videos and from friends at other places. This studio has low quality recitals, with horrible choreography. I was embarrassed sometimes to be in them. I used to just not attend the recital, but only a few classes at the beginning of the year were not spent practicing the dance. They don’t have only goals for anyone except the company dancers. Many of the families who attend her are fooled by how well they dance, but they don’t realize that the attention given to those dancers would never be given to their children. Even if your child is very talented and ready to go on to more, they may not be accepted into company, because they only request students to be a company dancer. I would not recommend this studio to anyone. Even if it feels like it is a good fit for your child, I would tell you to go somewhere else. I have had to un-​train from all of those years where I have been learning bad habits from their studio. I would give this place zero stars if I could!

My daughter is 8, and starting her second year here. We are very happy with this studio. It is well-​managed, the teachers are fantastic, and the end of the year performance is spectacular. You can often tell the quality of the dance studio by watching the students who have been there for several years (and there are many of these), and they are phenomenal. Highly recommended.
