Creation Station Dance

My 2 oldest children started at creation station late winter 2014 and we still love it. My son has moved onto other activities but never complains when he has to go to the studio with me. My daughter LOVES going to dance here. For a few months at the end of 2014 we took her out of dance so she can explore other activities and we soon realized she NEEDS dance to help decrease tantrums (she was 2 years old). Now she misses it when she cant dance. She has learned so much technique and has so much fun. My son wants to start back with hip hop and tap because he misses it. The teachers are awesome and we have worked with the majority of them at some point. I love how they know that kids are kids and will at some point have to miss class. Rescheduling is a breeze and they encourage you to make sure your child is trying new things. The large performance they do once a year is great and i love the way they schedule everything so you arent there all day waiting for your kid to perform.
Over all. This is a great place for beginning dancers and skilled dancers.

creation station is by far the best dance class for your little one to attend. My daughter had her first session at 2 years old in ballet and tap. she really enjoys the classes. She is now in the hip hop class and learning new moves. The instructors are very tentative and patient. If you have a child who loves to dance and perform I highly recommend this place!!!

So much fun for kids !!! My daughter love it and the teachers are simple the best !!!

The new director and the front desk staff is so sweet. We love bip hop class our teacher is so fun and energetic we look forward to every class. We’ve been enrolled for a several months and my daughter has learned so much.

My 2.5 yr old daughter Dana had a wonderful experience in Miss Audrey’s class. It was a great introduction to dance, Miss Audrey was so kind and patient with all the children in her class. Makeup classes are flexible and the end of the year recital was fantastic. A very well-​managed business with caring and well-​trained staff!

A great place for dance classes for children. My 2 year old daughter loves it. They use a lot of props, like stuffed animals, fairy wands, tiaras, sun glasses, etc. and it definitely engages the kids. One draw back is that almost all the children are girls. My 5 year old son balked at taking a class because it was all girls. We pay about $ 20 per 1 hour class plus a $ 30 fee per quarter.

My daughter loves her Hip-​Hop class with Miss Rachel! Creation station is a fun and relaxed environment, where kids can be kids — learn, but also have fun. There isn’t the pressure cooker recital thing happening here — just do your best and try your best. Great place.

My daughter just started coming here and she loves it! Great instructors, she has allot of fun very creative styles they use if teaching the students techniques. They use allot of props to get them involved and entertained all at once. Very pleased so far ! My daughter is 5.5 years old

My daughter attended the free trial class at Creation station in January. Miss Amber was engaging and graceful. The class used many props and really entertained my kiddo. I then spent the next 5 months trying to find another class that was fun but cost less money per class. I thought — my gosh! My kid’s dance class costs more than a Cardio Barre class! So I went to some of the less expensive choices at the Y and the rec center. Well, seriously you got what you pay for. Many of those teachers were not good with children! They would waste the entire class either trying to get the children in a line or trying to tame one child’s bad behavior. Because of this, there was much less time spent actually dancing. There were no props. And, at one of them, no tutus allowed. How overly boring and serious for a toddler. Also, too much «Let it Go.» At one place, the teacher had a sub 3 out of 6 times. The subs were terrible. Needless to say, after running around town trying to find another Creation Station… we finally returned to Creation Station. I am so happy we did. My child danced to many songs today, not in a line. And the teacher Miss Stephanie praised her. The teacher was confident, graceful, entertaining, and easily captivated all her students’ attention. A variety of songs was played, with fun props. The first half of the class was ballet; the second half was tap. Another perk folks have failed to mention: you can borrow ballet and tap shoes instead of purchasing your own. They have buckets of each kind of shoe available. Fun tutus are encouraged. My daughter couldn’t have been smiling bigger than she was in class today. Thank you, Creation Station!

I would really REALLY love to meet the teachers Mr Ryan B. is so amazed by, for my experience here was THE WORST! For the sake of this place and the few nice people working there, I must say my child is like a hurricane, and definitely not a prima ballerina.
This said, she is 2, for God’s sake, and I would advise the Management not to put ANY toddler under Stephanie’s care!
She is the WORST, the WORST: does she even realize what it means to be two years old? Why do they put such young kids under someone who is so unable to deal with children? She uses the «policy“excuse to kick kids out of class the second they don’t «follow» her instructions, while she should just start learning a few things about working with kids.
Note: my daughter did some 4 terms with another teacher, who was not fond of her at all (does this place find it SO HARD to find funny loving people that eventually don’t need to be a prima ballerina, but could AT LEAST be in control of the situation, without losing their temper or, at least, faking it a little when they cannot tolerate a child?
Also, take into consideration that this place has a NO TOUCHING policy, so EVEN if your child wants to shake hands, that is NOT acceptable. And personally speaking, I find it quite radical and silly, when its taken so literally and doesn’t evenyually CONSIDER the circumstance under which they touch.
In the end, the not-​so– cheap classes could be so much fun if only these people knew how to mix discipline and kindness or, more easily, just let other people do the job. People with more knowledge and a different attitude.

The teachers are very, very patient and kind. They are really well suited for dealing with the little kids. And the kids have a ball! It is a really great way to introduce little ones to dance!

I just took my 2.5 daughter for her first class. Since she was clinging to my leg, I asked if I could go in the class with her. They said I could, and my daughter started to have fun. After about 10 minutes they asked me to leave. I left, and my daughter started crying, so I came back in. The teacher and front desk person were not happy about that and said it wasn’t fair to the other kids (who looked perfectly fine). I stayed until she stopped crying and then they asked me to leave again. I told them it was her first day and first class, and asked if I could just stay in the corner to assimilate her. They said it wasn’t that type of class, and asked if my daughter attended school (she does), and made me leave again. I had to take my daughter with me since I couldn’t leave her in there in tears. They told me I should attend the mommy and me class and handed me a schedule of times, and the times were incredibly inconvenient (like 5:30m on a Sunday). I thought the place handled this in a ridiculous manner. Who wouldn’t let the parent in for the first class if the child is crying? My daughter was having fun and they interrupted that for no reason. It’s also beyond me why they would do that to a first-​time family who is trying out the place. Obviously, we will be taking our business elsewhere.

My 4 ½ year old granddaughter has been attending ballet and tap classes since she was 20 months old!!!
I am now beginning classes with my 16 month old !
No pressure, lots of fun. Teachers are caring and warm.

The website is currently WRONG WRONG WRONG! I signed my daughter up over the phone after viewing the online schedule. I spoke with Amanda who confirmed the class, took my cc info and enrolled her. She even said she was the teacher of the class. I drove my daughter in the rain to the class we signed up for on a Sunday evening. We arrived and the confusion commences. There must be 2 Amanda’s that work here because all was blamed on the «Other Amanda» however both teachers I spoke to at the desk were aware the website was wrong. They apologized and gave me a refund, but that did very little to console my 5 yr old who was in tears anticipating the start of dance class. IF YOU ARE AWARE THE WEBSITE IS WRONG YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED EACH PARENT THAT SIGNED UP TO CONFIRM THEIR CLASS. Otherwise you’re being lazy and that’s bad business. After patronizing for 2 years WE WILL NOT BE BACK.

I love the class my toddler niece is attending. She has fun in it everytime. The routine gets changed every weekend keeping the kids motivated. She plays songs that relate to the children. Front desk staff always answers my questions. They have a payment options which I love and they prorate. I have never been happier with a toddler class.

I enrolled my 2 year old daughter here and the first class was excellent, the teacher was sweet and the activities and direction were age appropriate… all good, and then we had to change classes, which sadly also meant changing teachers. Long story short, the teacher she ended up with showed my daughter out of class within the first 10 minutes because she wasn’t following instructions… um, she’s 2, she’s not developmentally capable of following specific instructions, but that wasn’t the worst of it… this teacher showed my daughter out, and closed the door behind her. She made no attempt to look for a parent/​caregiver for the 2 year old she was ushering out of class, nor did she show any concern when I explained that this was only my daughter’s 2^nd class. She simply stated that she was following policy and that when my daughter was ready to follow instructions she could come back in.
I opened the door and let her go back in immediately, after all, I had already paid for an 8-​week series and she was so excited to be there, but I will not be going back to this place.

Good for kids to have fun and learn a couple of moves my dauther loves this place !! I love it because it’s open weekends plus the teachers are nice they really know how to handle a group of crazy toddlers and deal special kids like mine she is brat but they handle her really good that now she likes to go to her class !!

I second Amy Ks review.
We have been going here for over 2 years. And after the 1^st year and the recital that followed, we thought it was an extraordinary place. Devoted to teaching kids dance through play and getting them to love dance.
Being here for several years now, it is clear that the curriculum is repeated and no longer inspires my daughter. It was fun while it lasted, but we are ready to move on to a more challenging school.

LOVE THIS PLACE. I initially took my daughter here to see if she could overcome her shyness. Not only did she do that, but has learned many ballet moves, made friends with other girls and is now comfortable speaking out loud in class. Although the classes are pricey you are paying for GOOD TEACHING QUALITY as the instructors are AMAZING ! you can view the prices online, but I promise, you will love the place !!!

My son has been taking tap here for several years now and he has learned so much! His tap has really improved. I can’t say enough good things about Creation Station. The teachers are awesome. They have really cute recitals every year.
This particular location is in a strip mall so there is a ton of parking. Plus, you can shop or get your nails done while the kids are in class.
They have a large comfortable waiting room with windows to watch the class and benches to sit on. There is a chalk board and books to read if you have other children with you who are not in a class.
The entire staff is wonderful.
