I have to say that we had a very poor experience with Ms. Sandy and Suzy. We loved Courtney and Ms. Sue, who my daughter had in previous years. Unfortunately, the nepotism in Ms. Sandyβs class was very apparent.

Five stars for Gotta Dance! A supportive and joyful dance experience.
Highly recommend Gotta Dance to anyone considering dance classes! Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience, this studio offers a welcoming and encouraging environment for dancers of all ages and skill levels.
Here's what impressed me most:
Talented Instructors: The teachers are passionate, knowledgeable, and patient. They break down complex moves into easy-to-understand steps and offer personalized feedback to help each student improve.
Positive Atmosphere: The studio fosters a positive and supportive community. Students are encouraged to learn from each other and celebrate one another's successes. My [child/I] always feels motivated and uplifted after class.
Variety of Classes: GDS offers a wide range of dance styles, from ballet and tap to and hip-hop. This allows students to explore their interests and discover their strengths.
Best dance studio! We love GDS. π―ββοΈ Great for all ages.

We love Gotta Dance! We are a first year family and are so happy with our experience at the Sterling Heights location. Everyone has been so kind and welcoming and helps every step of the way. The coaches and owners are so kind and have so much patience with the students. The communication is clear and prompt. My daughter made some great friends and we cannot wait to sign up for classes this fall. Thank you everyone at Gotta Dance for a great first season.

I love love LOVE gotta dance! I have been dancing there for almost 10 years and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I have danced at both the Troy and Sterling Heights studio and iβve loved every second of it, not only the teachers but the students are so welcoming and encouraging. Iβve created so many bonds and relationships through dance and iβm so grateful for it. I have danced both recreational and competitive classes and loved both. If you want to get into classes or get your kids into classes I would recommend Gotta Dance. The teachers, owners, people, families are all so incredibly sweet and understanding and the teachers are very patient with you. Also they hold so many fun events like a trunk or treat for halloween, summer classes. a lock in, and more! I love Gotta Dance!!

Submitted on behalf of one of my dancers:
I think that Gotta Dance is a wonderful studio to dance at, the teachers are very nice, and will push you to make you a better dancer. I have been dancing there since I was 3 and I have only gotten better each year since. I am on the competitive team. Yes itβs tough, but I have made lots of friends that I hope will last a lifetime. But even if youβre not friends with everybody, you are still a family, and you still have to stick together, and work together. There are many opportunities to grow and learn, and become not only a better dancer, but a better human in general. I love Gotta Dance like a second home. I love to dance.

Giavanna Gianino has been dancing for 9 years. I love all the teachers and staff. I am so proud of how well Giavanna has come. Terry is the best secretary ever. When anyone asks about a dance place I recommend gotta dance. We sure will miss dancing when she ages out.

My family loves Gotta Dance! We have been at the Troy studio for almost nine years. My son is in their special needs class βAlways Shineβ and it is his favorite day of the week. My daughter started dancing at 2 1/2 and is now 8yrs old on a competitive Gotta Dance team and loving every minute. It is a true family feel when you walk in. We love our teachers and wouldnβt dance anywhere else!ππ

My girls have danced at Gotta Dance the past 7 years and there is no better place for my two girls to grow and thrive. The time, energy and care the teachers put into helping their students advance -- both in technique and as members of their team -- is invaluable. I can't imagine having my girls dance anywhere else.

This is my daughterβs tenth year with Gotta Dance and we both could not imagine her dancing anywhere else! What started as a place to satisfy my love of dance and the ability to share that with my daughter through recreational dance classes, turned into something special. My 5 year old went from one ballet class, to ballet and tap classes to being asked to try out for intermediate dance team and now she is concluding her 2nd year on the senior competition team and she just turned 15. What began as a business transaction is now our family we both have developed long lasting friendships/sisterhoods that are nurtured inside and outside of the studio. Would I recommend Gotta Dance Studio ABSOLUTELY just be prepared for it to turn into more than just a pair of ballet shoes and cute pink tutus π©·

We have been with many studios over the years with two of my daughters and Gotta Dance hands down is the best. My youngest daughter wouldnβt even consider going anywhere else. Now after being apart of the team and seeing the shows I know why.

My daughter has been dancing here for nine years. She has grown up with the studio and continues to grow in her technique and in her friendships with her teammates (equally important in my mind). There are truly dedicated teachers who support her every step of the way and the staff is among some of the kindest. We love it here ππ€

We absolutely LOVE Gotta Dance! My daughter has had the best experience here and the teachers are amazing! They make you feel right at home. Everyone is so nice and they really take their time with the kids to make sure they understand the dance (my daughter just turned 5 and has been dancing here since she was 3). I canβt say enough good things about Gotta Dance! Iβm excited for my daughter to continue dancing here and see what the future holds for her βΊοΈ

There are a few great teachers. We've been here 10 years. However, if your child is not a favorite or you, as a parent, is not a "kiss up", your children are overlooked. Long drive weekly to be disappointed many times.

Although the teachers and staff are all nice people, I see that there are favorites. My daughter likes it because her friends attend with her but I wish there would be more instruction. While watching each class, I see a lot where the teacher just stands and talks with the dancers. For a thirty minute class most time is wasted. More attention is paid to the competition dancers. 2 years now and I've only seen 1 teacher actually correct and try to teach my daughter and that was a stand-in teacher. She'd probably be more confident in her dance if she was actually given the time. Yes we will be back but hoping things will get better. Price is right and costume choices are affordable. Just wish they paid more attention to each dancer.
