Such amazing genuine dance teachers. Full of upliftment and positivity. I'm taking the adult class with different genres as a brand new dancer and it has been so much fun, challenging, but so fun. Grateful for all they do! The building is clean and beautiful. I'm getting ready to enroll my son here as well.

This place is more than a dance studio. These teachers care about their students and love them as their own. My daughter has loved every minute of it!

My daughter started dancing with The Refinery (having never danced before) two years ago and they have taught her so much in a short period of time! She loves the teachers, the studio, the competitions, and her friends, and she is already beginning pointe. This is the most warm and welcoming group—both inside and outside the studio—and they have truly made her shine. We love The Refinery!

This is a very inclusive studio (body positive). Ryann, the owner, is great. Some of the other choreographers don’t really challenge the dancers. I’d love to see more challenging/emotional choreography—really give the dancers something to chew on so they can see progress in their own dancing. Overall, my daughter has really enjoyed her time at Refinery and is feeling inspired to continue dancing at the studio.

The refinery has been an amazing space for my girls to not only learn great dance technique, but learn how to be part of a team. The studio has helped my girls gain confidence through dance that they could not have gained any other way. The teachers and director have been amazing to work with. Couldn't reccomend it enough!

I have been dancing here for a little over four years now, and I can't even begin to find the words to express how truly amazing this studio is. The Refinery has such a positive and supportive atmosphere for dancers of all ages, the studio is a place where anyone can come learn and gain qualified training in various styles of dance without feeling judged. All the staff is truly amazing and are able to provide the necessary training a dancer needs while also building the dancers confidence. Over the years the Refinery has become a second home for me and so many others because of the fantastic job the staff does at making the studio such a positive and judgement-free place for everyone so dancer can really flourish and make meaningful connections with the people around them. The Refinery is truly one of a kind.

We have been going to The Refinery Academy of Dance for almost 8 years. My daughters have both loved every dance instructor. The instructors are welcoming, positive, and have my dancer’s best interests at heart. We’ve been part of the competition teams for the last 4 years and I’ve seen tremendous growth in my dancer, and she has made lifelong friendships. This is a place where she feels comfortable, loved, and is given room to grow and learn at her pace. I can’t recommend the refinery enough!

We have danced with Refinery for 5+ years and my dancer has had the time of her life!! Beyond the skills, she has learned the importance of strength in friendships and supporting her teammates in their successes. The teachers love our girls and are teaching them life skills beyond the dance floor.

My daughter loves dancing at this studio. The teachers are so amazing. I love how they teach the girls how to win, lose and be a great sport. I know my daughter isn’t being put down when she makes mistakes. They always encourage her to do her best. This year she has grown so much and I love watching her dance.

We can't say enough good things about the refinery. My daughter started dancing there when she was 2 years old and is now 6 and on one of their competition teams and she has found her passion. She loves dance and has had such a great experience at the Refinery. They have the best teachers who truly care about the dancers there and that means a lot to me as the mom!

We absolutely love this studio! The dance teachers/mentors are very knowledgeable and trained in all genres, and motivate the students to excel by giving them many different dance opportunities and establishing set expectations. This has given my daughter the motivation to push herself to achieve her goals and to continue to achieve new goals!

The Refinery is such an amazing studio. I have never taken formal dance lessons prior to starting, and The Refinery was so accommodating with everything. They helped me discover how much I love about dance and they are always helping me improve. I would highly recommend this studio if you are thinking about taking lessons. No matter what level you are, they can help you become even better.

I am sad to be leaving this year as I head off to college but I recommend the Refinery to anyone looking to share their love of dance, build strong technique, and maintain a healthy and happy life!

Our daughter has been dancing with The Refinery for several years and has had an excellent experience. Her teachers are excellent and supportive. The dances are original and competition season is a blast. The teams preform well, but the focus is always on fun and personal growth. We love this studio and would highly recommend it.

This is such a fabulous dance studio and I'm so glad my daughter can attend here. The teachers are amazing because they not only teach my daughter how to dance but they help to build her confidence and they promote kindness and respect among the dancers. After having a negative experience at another studio in town, The Refinery has been a breath of fresh air!

We LOVE the Refinery. The teachers are great with my sometimes moody threenager and she loves all her fiends there. They also have a great opportunity with their fundraisers where half or all the money that you raise goes towards your dancer to help out with monthly payments. 🤍

Easily the best choice for a dance school in Heber City for your little one! The refinery academy of dance quickly became my child’s favorite hobby as a little toddler, now that they are in elementary school they have developed into an amazing dancer thanks to her instructors at The refinery academy of dance! My child feels so loved by her instructors at this amazing dance studio and they motivate her to try her best while dancing! From the director to the amazing instructors, their professionalism is incomparable. Our dancer has been here for 4 years and looks forward to every class with excitement! If you still aren’t convinced, give them a try and see for yourself! We love this place ❤️!

Edit: I only received an email back after posting this review. Saying I was credited 20 dollars to my daughter's dance account which doesn't do me any good since my daughter doesn't want to go back. And make note that i was only credited back after calling them out on the SWEATPANTS AND SWEATSHIRT CROP TOP i was overcharged for.

After posting this review there have been fake 5 star reviews made to push this to the bottom!

Dont waste your time!!! I have Over paid for multiple costumes that should only cost 20 dollars at most and was charged 60.00 for them (walmart clothes). The owner confirmed she would reimburse the funds and has now ghosted my email. Hip hop teacher taught class sitting down and almost never stood up to actually teach the dance. I Will not be going back to the Refinery. You'll be better off at wasatch dance or intensity dance. Don't waste your time here!

I am so impressed with this Dance Academy. I have gone to 3 of their dance recitals and I the girls did a great job. It is a great environment with teachers who truly care about the dancers and want the best for them. They teach skills and develop the kids from where they are at. Super impressed with the choreography of their hip hop, tap, and ballet. Great studio. Definitely worth it.
