Saying "can't" is a punishable offense for a 6 year old in a beginner class. One of their teachers, threatened, punished, and berated a young kid into a meltdown. As the young child tries to hide herself in a ball, the teacher stands over her and frightens her from seeking help. "There's no crying in aerial silks!"-teacher As a parent, I was unhappy with maltreatment of my child. Talking about concerns breaks the "code of conduct", even if it's about the health and well being of your child. That's "completely inappropriate", "rudeness and hostility". -email I tried to remain calm discussing the situation. I started to tear up as I asked that someone tell the teacher to be kinder to young kids she doesn't know when she comes into a classroom. I offered the advice of instead of standing over the child and reprimanding their tears away, to send them out of the class to their parents. Studio says me and my kid are the problem. Lack of respect and care of children is appalling.

The best dance studio in Durham. Provides all different types of dance classes such as ballet, jazz, modern, hip hop, flamenco, floor barre, body conditioning, aerial dance, etc. Drama and voice classes too. It's amazing that one studio can provide all. It is a true performing arts school. The studio welcomes all different body types and abilities, and no age limit. Students are placed by their abilities. Students learn and grow in a very nurturing and supportive environment. Instructors help students bring out their best in dance. If you are an adult and want to take dance class, you must check out this studio. Whether you just want a recreational dance class or are a serious dancer, you will find some classes in this studios that fit your need. I have been dancing in this studio for years, this is the best studio I can find in the area. Plenty of opportunities to learn, to grow, and to shine.
