Reviews
Carolyn has been wonderful with my special needs child and myself. We both take lessons there, and have been very happy.

This studio is a joke. Unless your child takes tap and is picked to join competition team, don't waste your time or money. In this studio, the only dancers that get paid attention too are the ones that compete and pay a lot of extra money for privates, which you are required too. Also, if you compete, you HAVE to take either ballet or jazz. As for the students who aren't on the competition team, you will be looked down upon by all the other parents and students.
