This is our second year with Premiere and my girls absolutely love coming to the studio and look forward to dance class. The teachers do an amazing job making sure they are learning dance language at a level that is appropriate for them. Both my daughters have gained more self confidence and stepped out of their shyness during their time at the studio. I tell everyone I can about Premiere Dance Project and how amazing it has been for us.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Absolutely Amazing Dance Studio!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Premiere Dance Studio! As someone who grew up dancing and continued through college, I’ve seen how many studios run, and Premiere is truly in a league of its own.

Their communication is top-notch. I receive not just emails but also text reminders—so helpful for a busy parent like me with ADHD. Recital costumes are organized to perfection—each on labeled hangers, with garment bags and a detailed folder of everything you need to know.

My daughters came to Premiere after a few years away from dance, and I was blown away by how supportive the staff was. My 10-year-old tried Group 2 but felt overwhelmed, so they immediately worked with us to find the perfect fit. She now takes Group 1 for ballet and lyrical to rebuild her basics but can join Group 2 for hip hop, where she feels more confident. This personalized approach is incredible!

Both of my kids have gained so much confidence. My youngest has always been shy, but watching her in the front row of her hip hop class, giving it her all with the perfect “attitude,” has been amazing.

From the friendly front desk team to the passionate instructors, everyone makes us feel welcomed and valued. After just one year, I already consider this our dance home. My girls are so happy here that they’re signing up for even more classes next year!

I actually found Premiere through a Facebook ad, and they even followed up—talk about amazing customer service. I genuinely cannot recommend this studio enough. If you’re looking for a dance studio that truly cares about your kids and provides an exceptional experience, Premiere is it.

Thank you, Premiere, for everything you do!

Premiere is such a fun dance studio! My 7 year old daughter is taking an Acro/hip hop class that is well taught and is very fun.

But also, I need to give a HUGE shout out to Jen, the adult tap teacher for Tuesday nights this summer. She is an amazing teacher. She challenges our class based on our previous tap experiences, she has a variety of learning styles, and she has fun and creative choreography! It’s so great that this studio takes an interest in having adult classes as well.

Our daughter started classes here at 2 years old in 2023. Teachers and staff are very patient and kind. Nice new facility. I prefer the 2 way glass so she can see we are still there. My only complaint would be the tiny parking spaces in the lot.

PDP has been so welcoming to our family. We took a trial class about a month ago and have loved it ever since. Everyone was very welcoming, the facility is beautiful, and our teacher has had so much patience with my tiny dancer getting acquainted.

We have a daughter who has participated in Discover Dance over the past year as well as a couple of summer dance camps. Our experience was nothing short of superb. We love the studio's mission and they live up to it. There is such a wide variety of classes and camps to choose from. It offers the kids a great opportunity to explore different areas of the dance experience. The facility is beautiful and well designed and the instructors have shown us to be extremely pleasant, attentive and patient. It gave our daughter a great environment to learn how to work and play in a team setting. The recital experience was also a great one. We had no problem getting our daughter to where she needed to be and knew she was in great hands backstage. The show, itself, moved along seamlessly and right on schedule. Any time throughout the season when we had a question our inquiries were responded to promptly and courteously. Most importantly, Premiere fosters a really fun atmosphere. The instructors are always happy and encouraging and that is contagious among all the participants. We would definitely recommend Premiere to any parent looking to get their child involved in the art of dance.

We love Premier! I was never a dancer so being a first-time mom to a tiny dancer was intimidating! I was relieved to experience the staff truly taking care of everyone. They’re thorough, knowledgeable, responsive, and caring. And they offer so many “extracurricular” events that the kids can take advantage of throughout the year. Our daughter loves going here and we look forward to her dance growth in the years to come!

My girls haven’t been with Premiere no longer than a couple months. But when I tell you I absolutely love this place!
The staff is absolutely amazing and friendly.
My kiddos can be very shy meeting new people so I was very nervous during their trail run thinking it was gonna be a fight and a screaming match with them. But they made them feel very welcomed and very relaxed and made it so fun for them! Right after their trail run I signed them up right then cuz I knew without a doubt they were going to love it.
And now it’s something they look forward to every week!

My daughter has taken dance classes at Premiere Dance for a few years now and she really enjoys it. She is quite shy but being with the great teachers/friends and performing at recitals help her to be more outgoing. I noticed the staffs are very friendly when I have questions. It’s a great place for dance lessons.

My daughter loves dancing at Premiere and looks forward to class each week! We have seen so much progress with her confidence and skills, and her teacher Jen is amazing!! She takes the time to welcome each kid, always brings her energy, and makes each class fun.

My girls have been dancing at Premiere Dance Project for three years now, and we love it more and more each year. The staff and teachers are all kind, welcoming, and patient with kids of all ages! We are always greeted with a smile. The new studio is great and allows families to watch their child's dance class and build relationships with other families. We've also been able to build relationships with our dancer's teachers. Premiere offers family-friendly events throughout the year that help build these relationships and a sense of community. My daughters have loved every dance teacher they have had at Premiere, and I've been equally impressed with each teacher as well. If I've ever had questions or concerns, the staff is very quick to respond and handles everything professionally and with the utmost respect. I would highly recommend Premiere Dance Project to friends and family, and anyone looking for a great dance studio for their young dancer!

My husband wrote below to represent our family
Update: So Premiere dance reached out via email to work with us.

On 1-12-23 me and my daughter went to the studio and they remeasured the outfit, had her put it on and I explained what part of the dress didn’t fit and what was hurting her body.

They offered two solutions, to tailor the outfit so it didn’t hurt her or to order a new outfit, the lady said she had to run it by the Owners. I found the lady to be very amicable, civil and polite.

We requested a new outfit one size bigger later that night via email.

The next day on 1-13-23 we received a letter from a lawyer, stating that “Premiere Dance Project has elected to terminate its business relationship with your family.” and they also refunded the tuition and the cost for the dress.

Then comes the ending of this letter from their lawyer, “You are further hereby notified that you and your family are not welcome at Premiere Dance Project’s property from now going forward. Please be advised that if you or any member of your family attempts to enter the property, the police will be called and advised of your trespass.”

This is the craziest 180 I’ve ever seen from a company. It went from “Let’s look into a tailor or a new outfit” to the Owners having a lawyer send a letter threatening to “call the police.”

Three days ago Premiere made a facebook post in which they provide a mission statement, “At Premiere we cultivate positive relationships that support and challenge our dancers. We love teamwork!”

The mission statement is marketing non-sense from a typical company. They couldn’t handle a simple dispute over a dress size and decided to hire a lawyer and threaten to call the cops on any member of our family. They can’t cultivate a positive relationship if they can’t handle something this minor.

The letter from their lawyer was point blank a scare-tactic and an attempt to intimidate us for writing a bad review.

DISCLAIMER: This Review is not an attempt to communicate with the Premiere Dance Project or anyone associated with them in any capacity. This is to document our experience with Premiere Dance Company. Any attempt by anyone associated with Premiere Dance Company to respond to this review, or engage my family with any form of communications via mail, or electronic communications, will result in me releasing an image of all present and future documents from lawyers representing Premiere Dance Project.

We highly recommend Premiere Dance to anyone in the area. Both Amanda and Aunica have been amazing teachers. Our little one who is 2 1/2 had not been in a classroom setting before since she is always home with me (mom.) They took to her and were extremely attentive. She has adapted wonderfully thanks to their help and encouragement.

My daughter started at Premier Dance Project this summer and couldn’t be happier! She takes many classes and loves each of them. She always comes home with a big smile, ready to show me something new she learned. I have been very impressed by how much she’s grown in just a few short weeks this summer. Amanda and Aunica are amazing instructors and excellent communicators. The studio is beautiful and welcoming. Whether your child is just beginning dance or has been dancing for years, I highly recommend Premier Dance Project.

We had our daughters birthday party at Premiere Dance Project and Amanda and Aunica did a fantastic job keeping the party going. Their was never any dead time and made the party amazing for my daughter and her friends. We have signed our daughter up for dance class and the communication and advice from the ladies has been perfect. I would highly recommend Premiere Dance Project not only for dance classes but for children’s birthday parties!

After beginning at Premiere I was quickly impressed with the teaching. My daughter had been at a big well known dance academy before this one and Aunica did things with the girls right away, that I never saw her introduced to before. They were using exercise bands one day to stretch their toes and one week she had a full size skeleton in class showing them the way there bones were moving when they did particular moves. So impressed!!! We are definitely signing up for the fall! Thank you Aunica for making it a great intro back into dance for us!!!
