Fantastic place for the suburban mom to enrich their child in dance! A place to gather as snobby moms. 10/10, bring your LV Neverfull bag too!

The best studio in KC! I wouldn’t have wanted to dance anywhere else.

If you’re in search of an inclusive dance studio that considers hair and makeup for not only white dancers but also people of color run far away. Since my 6-year-old daughter has joined I had multiple instructors ask if I am planning to keep braids in my daughter’s hair for competition. I have also experienced responses when a payment is due, and I have been asked on multiple occasions if I have enough money in my account. I have never missed a payment or had insufficient funds to cover dance or costume fees. I have never heard the receptionist ask white mom's if they have enough in their account to cover any fees. I have purposely sat there to ensure I wasn't the only parent that had been singled out, but unfortunately, that is the case and these comments are directed at non-white parents. Additionally, my daughter has stated on multiple occasions that none of the white dancers on her team will talk to her and her friends are two other black girls (who are the only people of color on the team). My daughter is social so this is abnormal for her.

I was also given mixed answers for an upcoming competition that we were scheduled to miss. The dance teacher said it is perfectly fine, but Curtis said this is unacceptable and I will need to make other travel arrangements (even though I explained the vacation was paid for a year in advance). He also said if I cannot rearrange my travel then my daughter would be removed from the team. Again, my daughter is 6 years old. He also refused to refund a recent dance fee for the competitions and said I am welcome to pick up her costume. Please don’t waste your money at this establishment, and find a dance studio that is inclusive and accommodating when things happen.

My son has been attending dance here for over a year now. When he came up with the desire to dance. We checked around...he tried others but wasn't enthusiastic about the experience at "dance class." After the first time he stepped into the hip-hop class at Pulse Performing Arts Center to try it, he came out saying it was the best "dance party" ever! Our son's heart was bursting with joy he found an awesome place to be and have fun while learning to dance.

Have an almost 12-year-old granddaughter who has been dancing with this place since she was four. Their annual recitals are truly enjoyable and the skill of their teachers obvious by what they bring out in the students. My granddaughter has learned so much, is very good and loves it. They also offer watch weeks where friends family etc. are welcome to see the students in their classes. As you can see from one of the photos they have lots of trophies. They are consistently high placers in all the competitions they go to! Update: 11.19 - So now a 14-year-old granddaughter and an eight-year-old grandsonare dancing there. Grandson is in his third year and is doing competition too.Still have the highest regard for this studio and especially after watching competitions and being a little unnerved by what some studios think is appropriate for children both in attire and dance move. Skill and class allthe way here!
