This dance studio is worth your time! It may be small, but that’s what makes it so special. The owner is super sweet, personable and just a genuine person who cares! We took our daughter out of here one year, to join a larger and more known studio, worst mistake! We’re back and staying! We appreciate all the dance instructors and the time they take to teach all the kiddos. Our daughter has really blossomed here.

Everyone at KIO Studio has been AMAZING! I take recreational adult classes, and the staff and other students were very inclusive and welcoming! Ms. Tiffany highlights the strengths of each dancer in her choreography and keeps the vibe super fun but equally challenging! My 13 y.o. son saw how much fun I had, so he's going to try out some classes! Thanks, Denise and Jody, for creating such a great dance space at KIO!

Kick It Out is an amazing dance studio! I took adult tap lessons and found it to be a welcoming, inclusive environment. The staff and teachers are very accommodating.

The owners are present daily and they take such care to ensure students have a top notch experience. I live in Delta Township and despite having plenty of dance studios closer to me, I make the drive across town to KIO. I couldn't recommend them more.

Our experience with Kick It Out! Dance has been absolutely amazing. The owners, instructors, and other staff are all focused on supporting the kids. While my daughter has learned to dance, she has gained tremendous confidence and self-esteem thanks to the Kick It Out! team. Through dance, Kick it Out! has taught my daughter important life skills which will undoubtedly benefit her through adolescence and into adulthood. I couldn’t be more pleased with our experience at Kick It Out!.

Great Dance Studio. I've been looking for a dance
studio for ages, and so glad to have found just the
right place!
The studio is small (atleast from outside) and was a
little difficult to find it, but the smallest ones are the
greatest ones.
Teresa (CSR) answered all my questions patiently whenever I called. She is amazing.
I have enrolled for Zumba classes with Deborah and
she is the best, THE BEST! Am a dancer by
profession and I loved how it wasn't just exercise, it
was dancercize- super fun, energetic, peppy and
brisk. Deb makes us feel inspired!
Highly recommend!

I’m sure everyone has heard this before but I don’t like to leave reviews good or bad ( apparently am too lazy). However, I was compelled to leave a review for Deb’s Zumba class. I am a working mom pretty active pre pandemic but then had a baby and the pandemic soon after made loose all interest in fitness ( going out period). As they last ditch effort to be fit (really just forced by my sisters 😒) I went to the kick it dance studio for Deb’s Zumba class. It was amazing not only did it kick my Bu** it was super fun. I’m not a dancer by any means but there was absolutely no judgement period! All in all it was great. Ladies if you’re like me and are looking to have some fun time while getting fit this may be the place for you. The only downside the class gets filled pretty easy because it’s worth it.

I have brought my girls to Kick it out for a total of 4 years. My girl have loved being there. When we first started going one of my daughters didn’t know what she wanted to take, the owner suggested she try a bunch of classes to figure out what she likes. Then she picked 2. Then my other daughter was in soccer and wanted to do dance when soccer was over. The owner was very accommodating. Now 4 years later one daughter is still dancing and loves going. We have always had good interactions with all the workers and teachers.

I have been going to Kick It Out for 3 years and they have treated me like family since day 1. Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about dance. They focus their efforts on helping students improve their dance technique and grow as individuals. I am incredibly impressed by this facility and it's staff. I highly recommend this studio for children (competitive & rec classes), adult recreational classes, and fitness. They have a little something for everyone!

Kick It Out is a fabulous dance studio. The owners are incredibly hard workers and bend over backwards to make sure everyone feels included and accepted. There are dance classes for all ranges of dancers from beginners to experienced. They even have adult beginners classes, which is awesome! On top of that, they also have fabulous fitness classes they hold at their studio from Zumba to Pound to Yoga. It's a great place!

My child went here for a test class, and I would never bring them back to this location. The staff was rude and I was not impressed with the way they treated the students either.

To reply to your messsage: My name is clearly posted above. It’s not a fake name, actually very rude of you to assume it’s not my name. How would you fix anything when I decided that your dance studio was not a place I would ever want my child going again exactly, and there was no money to be refunded. YOU sound like someone bitter because I left a bad review, since you want to talk about how I sound. You want to fix something, fix the professionalism and training of your staff. However, clearly they get their training from you, so it all makes sense. Have a good day!

I had the worst experience with this place. My child was assaulted in class by another student, shoved out of class, while crying, without explanation and was held to a higher standard than the other children. She was repeatedly reprimanded for the same thing other children were doing. None of the other children were reprimanded like she was. All of this happened in 3 classes. I was offered to join the class after I was already walking out the door. I was only offered to sit down, on site and talk, after the owner repeatedly interrupted me while I was speaking with my daughter. They also required me to pay almost $300 on the first day of class, and none of it was refundable. Oh, and she is a 3 year old... I have proof they offered to view the recordings with me, once I accepted, they quit communication and threatened to contact their attorney.

My family has had the best experience with this studio. Both my kids are dancers. My daughter is going into her 5th competitive dance season and my son just started last year. The instructors are amazing and really teach to the kids strengths. I cant say enough about the owner she has a heart of gold. Its amazing that she knows every kid and every dance they are in. If you are looking for a family atmosphere this is the studio to try!

KIO welcomed my son and has challenged him in ways I have not seen.
The instructors work well with him and the other dancers accept him.
I would gladly recommend KIO to anyone and am proud to be a part of this studio.

I've going there for three years for zumba, zumba toning and did pound. My daughter was in mini ballet and had her first recital in 2014. Such a great and comfortable place to work out. Highly recommend it!
