TL:DR Highly Recommended
My daughter has been dancing here for a year and has attended the summer camps. It has been an excellent experience! As a mom who danced, I recognize and appreciate that everyone regardless of shape and size is welcome. Costumes are elegant and flattering. From my daughter’s perspective, dancing school day is her favorite day. She is thriving in this studio.

I recently booked a birthday party for my daughter here and it was a blast! The space was perfect and the young ladies hosting/providing the instruction were super helpful. Angela was very easy to work with and all went smoothly. The price was extremely reasonable. So grateful to be able to provide such a fun day for my daughter and loved ones! I would definitely recommend En Avant School of Dance ❤️

En Avant is a great dance studio. I am pretty critical and picky about where my kids go and who I give my money to. The teachers are great with the kids, and the owner, Miss Angela, really cares about the students' well being. She's very accommodating and genuinely cares about the families. We just hit our one year and my children love it there. We drive 40 minutes to get there even though there are many studios close by. Try a class, (it's free!), you won't regret it!

This place was my home for the past 15 years. The teachers truly care about you and they support you no matter what. The owner is an absolutely wonderful person. She is kind and accommodating. The other teachers love to see how their dancers improve. All the dancers are super talented and incredibly friendly. They support and cheer each other on. I loved dancing there and I miss this place already❤️

As a first year dance mom I accidentally scheduled my child’s Sweet and Sassy birthday party on the same day as dance pictures. I had scheduled the party in December and the dance teacher scheduled pictures in January. I never saw the update until about two months before the party when i was handing out invitations to my daughter’s dance class. When I realized this happened I sent a private message to the dance owner pleading to make this work since this was a party we saved up for all year. In writing, She stated, “yes the other parents worked it out after class that they would be able to head there right after pictures”. I followed up with the owner in person the following Monday and asked her if I should try to move the party back an hour. She stated, “no this shouldn’t be a problem”. She denies this interaction but the other parent I asked in front of remembers it. A month and half goes by and not a single person warns me that this might not work out. In fact the other parents in the class are encouraging. They say that she runs on time with pictures and sticks to her schedule.Picture day arrives and I show up 30 minutes early just be sure everything goes smoothly. I notice Miss Angela is taking a really long time to start pictures. We end up starting pictures 15 minutes late. The other parents are mentioning to me that it’s weird that she’s not starting yet. I don’t think anything of it at the time. Then she lets the girl who came in after us in a completely different time slot go in front of my daughter’s class for their second class pictures. A picture session that was supposed to take 15-20 minutes (at tops 45 minutes if things didn’t go well) was taking an hour and 20 minutes. Which meant that we were now 20 minutes late for my daughters birthday party. A party that cost $490. I go back to the picture room to retrieve my daughter because SHE can’t be late for her own party, she can just miss the rest of the pictures. Miss Angela slams the door in my face and no one lets me have access to my daughter for another 10 minutes. I message Miss Angela hoping that maybe she just forgot and didn’t realize it was me trying to get my daughter and is going to apologize. I see that she read the message and I get no response. I wait all day Sunday to send another message. Now I’m thinking do we return to this studio for class on a Monday? I get no response until Tuesday Morning after my daughter missed dance class Monday night. Miss Angela tells me that I can meet her in person. I meet her in person on Wednesday. I expected the conversation to go something like, “I’m so sorry. I completely forgot. I know we talked about this”. INSTEAD she starts telling me how wrong it was of me to interrupt the pictures. Then she says, “sorry” but she’s rolling her eyes while she’s saying it. Her body language is completely incongruent with her words. I ignore it for a minute until I finally ask her why she is rolling her eyes when she’s saying sorry. She then proceeds to gaslight me until I feel like I’m acting like a crazy person and start crying. She starts looking at me in disgust and doesn’t show an ounce of empathy. I ask her why she took so long to respond to me when in the past it’s been much faster. Her words, “I dealt with you when I was ready to deal with you”. Then she lets it slip that I put her in a bad situation with the parents in the class. She says that I made her feel like she had no choice but to say yes it was okay because she didn’t want to look bad in front of the other parents. It was at that point that everything connected. That statement linked with the confusion of the parents on picture day as to why she was taking forever to start made me realize this lunatic, owner of En Avant Dance, purposefully sabotaged my daughter’s birthday party. A 7 YEAR OLDS BIRTHDAY PARTY in an attempt to get back at me.
We have since moved onto another dance school. The atmosphere at the new dance studio is light, professional, and kind. Three things I never noticed En Avant never had.

Granddaughter takes classes here. She is very happy with it... Recital is coming up!!!
I wish there was a bigger waiting room for the Parents/ Grandparents who brought the Children, something more comfortable to sit on than those benches & more than one bathroom for all those little girls.
