My niece has had such a wonderful experience at K-Home. The teachers are patient, encouraging, and truly passionate about what they do. I’ve seen so much growth and confidence in my child since starting here. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a positive and inspiring dance studio!

Karissa’s House of Movement has been the best decision we’ve ever made for our daughter’s dance journey. She danced at another studio for one year, but I didn’t feel she was learning much—and even though her class covered two genres, they only performed one recital number.

After seeing KHOM’s recital photos and doing my research, we made the switch—and I could write a novel about how amazing this place is! My daughter instantly fell in love with dance, the studio, the teachers, and the community. She’s made so many friends, and the studio has truly become an extension of our family. We’ve met families here who are now some of our closest friends—we travel together and spend time together outside of dance.

The confidence my daughter has gained is unmatched. The teachers are talented, supportive, and truly care about every student. The kids encourage each other, learn so much, and have fun while doing it. KHOM is more than just a dance studio—it’s a place where kids grow, thrive, and feel like they belong.

I can’t recommend Karissa’s House of Movement enough!

I’ve been a student at KHOM since Karissa opened almost 7 years ago and it was the best decision I made!! I am now going into my senior year and I’ve loved every moment I’ve been at the studio! KHOM has become my second home and Karissa is truly amazing and believes in every kid that walks through the studio doors! All of the other teachers are amazing mentors and are extremely talented!! I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else to dance and trust me when I say khom is the best of the best ❤️❤️ can’t wait for season 6!!!

My nieces have been dancing with KHOM since they were three and they have loved being there. They have had so much growth under Karissa and her staff and have become NATIONAL CHAMPIONS. That doesn’t happen with out caring committed staff like Karissa and her team! 100% recommend KHOM

Karissa's House of Movement is more than just a dance studio – it's a community. My nieces have been dancing with Karissa since they were 2 and I've been so impressed with the level of instruction and the care the instructors give to each student. Karissa's passion is contagious, and it's clear she's created a space where kids can develop their skills, build confidence, and form lasting friendships. I highly recommend it!

I am a student at KHOM and let me say Karissa is one in a million. Her guidance, studio and home she created is unmatched. Dancing at such a positive & talented studio has changed my life and made me the person I am today. She provides the tools and encouragement that builds confidence, creates friendships while’s helping you train and further perfect/learn skills in dance. I am forever grateful for the home she has created for us dancers. Truly a place of pure magic!

I can honestly say our experience at Karissa’s House of Movement has been nothing short of fantastic! Karissa and her staff are top-notch! They’re not only incredibly skilled dancers but also amazing teachers who know how to break down complex routines and make them easy to follow. They work hard all year long and it shows in their end of season productions. To say they’re magical to watch doesn’t suffice.
Another thing that really stands out is the supportive community they’ve built. Everyone, from the other students to the instructors, is so encouraging and inspiring. There’s a sense of camaraderie belonging to that studio that can’t be matched by another!
My daughter has not only improved her technique, but she’s also gained so much confidence. If you're looking for a dance studio that offers expert instruction, a fun atmosphere, at an affordable price, and a community that truly cares, I can’t recommend Karissa’s House of Movement enough. It’s been an incredible journey, and we can’t wait for what’s next!

This isn’t just a place to learn technique — it’s a place to build confidence, friendships, and a true love for movement.

❤️🤍🖤KHOM-exactly what this is! A dance studio that is actually a home away from home… Karissa and her amazing staff and “family” have created an atmosphere in which children of all ages and abilities are welcome and always feel at “HOME” ! All of the staff have become like family to myself and my daughter, and we could not be more grateful to be able to call this our home away from home – our amazing dance studio! My daughter began dancing with Karissa and Alexis at the age of one and is now 16 years old!🥰❤️🥰 This is part of what makes this studio so special and different from others/many of the instructors actually grew up dancing together, and even if they came to the studio as new instructors, they quickly became part of the KHOM family and role models to my daughter!!! We ❤️ you
❤️🤍🖤KHOM🖤🤍❤️

My daughter joined KHOM as an extremely shy 5 year-old. We had danced at another studio before in her toddler years, but after COVID, we were searching for a place that felt more like home somewhere that would truly support and nurture her passion for dance.

From the very beginning, the teachers at KHOM embraced her with warmth and encouragement. Over the years, we've watched her blossom into a confident, expressive dancer, growing not just in technique but in self assurance and joy. The care and dedication of the staff have made all the difference, they don’t just teach dance; they cultivate a deep love for it.

It’s been a beautiful journey watching her find her voice through movement and come alive on stage. KHOM has become more than a studio to us; it’s a second home. We are so deeply grateful for this special place and the role it has played in her growth.

The teachers are incredibly talented and dedicated, not only helping the dancers grow in their technique but also building their confidence and love for dance.

My daughter absolutely loves being part of this team, and it has been amazing to watch her thrive both as a dancer and as a person.

I am a student at Karissa's House of Movement. I have been dancing with Karissa since I can walk. She has always been a great role model and very supportive. I am so sad this is my senior year, but I will continue to keep coming back, year after year because there is no place like KHOM(e)!!!!!! The best thing you can do is sign your kids up tp dance here they will love it. TRUST ME!!!!!

Karissa’s house of movement is by far an amazing environment for children. Her teachers are top notch professional and consistent and the same since I started. She encourages team!!! My daughters have danced with Karissa for years way before she opened her own studio. They loved her so much they left where they were to be with her at KHOM. It’s a shame when someone writes a false negative review. This review is full of facts!!!!! We love KHOM my girls would not dance anywhere else. Season 6 Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!!

Avoid at all costs. The owner is a thin skinned child who cannot run or manage a business effectively. If you question anything she does, she cannot or will not discuss with you in a professional manner. She likes to invoke "the contract" but only when she wants to use it to enforce her rules.

For reference, I had two girls that went there for 4 years and were part of her competition team. We have paid tens of thousand of dollars to this school. When we questioned something, we were met with hostility and flippant responses that proved we were nothing more than dollar signs.

I'm sad to have to write this as my girls liked their instructors (although there seems to be a revolving door other than maybe 1 or 2 of them) and made lots of friends. It was also convenient given the location but they will not get my business after what we have been experiencing.

I'm sure that some people will disagree with my review which is their right. We are not the only people that have had this happen. I'm sure we will not be the last.

There are many other options in the area to deserve my hard earned money

Karissa's House of Movement is unlike any other dance studio. Many claim to be a "family" but when you walk into Karissa's, you really are part of the family. Each teacher knows each child's name, their strengths, and their areas to work on. They provide feedback in an appropriate and supportive way. Whether your child is there just for class or joins their amazing competition team, your child will grow leaps and bounds, not just as a dancer, but as a person. The way the confidence in both of my girls has grown is incredible to see. Hands down, I highly recommend Karissa's House of Movement!

Aside from the level of expertise that KHOM offers the dancers that attend the studio, what makes it the best place for our daughter in my opinion is the community and culture that KHOM has. The supportive and uplifting culture is helping my daughter to grow at a social level better than I could have imagined and we are so happy to have chosen this studio for competitive dance!

Karissa’s House of Movement has truly been a blessing for my daughters. We came from a tough situation—one of my girls had even considered quitting dance altogether, and the other thought she was only good at hip hop. Since joining KHOM, they’ve both completely flourished.

The growth in their technique is tremendous, but even more importantly, their confidence has soared. They’re being pushed in the best way possible—encouraged, supported, and challenged by teachers who genuinely care. Karissa and the entire staff are incredible. They see each child’s potential and bring out the best in them.

Now, both of my girls are thriving. They believe in themselves, they’ve discovered new strengths, and most of all, they’ve found joy in dance again. We’re so thankful to be part of the KHOM family. I have learned that things do happen for a reason!

Karissa’s House of Movement is more than just a dance studio—it’s a place where every dancer, no matter their background or skill level, feels like they belong. As someone who has had the privilege of capturing content and photography for KHOM, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible way Karissa and her team interact with their students. The care, dedication, and passion they bring to every class create an environment where dancers aren’t just teammates; they’re family.

The inclusivity at KHOM is something truly special. Every dancer is encouraged, supported, and celebrated. Whether in the studio or at competitions, the energy is always electric, and the sense of camaraderie is undeniable. Watching these dancers grow, support one another, and push themselves to new heights is inspiring. If you’re looking for a dance studio that values both skill and heart, Karissa’s House of Movement is the place to be.

Everyone has a home at KHOM.
