Impact Dance Studio

I thought Impact was ok but I am now taking my daughter to a new dance studio that is much cheaper and overall better. A couple of the things I did not like about Impact. First, there is no changing room for dads to use to get their daughters ready. There is a nice big room for the moms, but if a dad wants to get his daughter changed they told me I had to go into the small little one person bathroom. No cool, and gross. You also have to climb up a huge staircase to get inside the building. If you have little kids, you will really hate those steps. There is no parking lot, so you also may have to walk a while if you can’t find close street parking. I put my 3 year old in a dance class there but I felt as if they played more games than actually taught her the fundamentals of dancing. I really liked all of the teachers but there was one teacher that kind of mean to the little kids. Besides these couple of things, we liked the teachers, classes, costumer services and the recitals. I would recommend people check a few other studios out before signing up at Impact.

Absolute JOKE! My wife signed up a class for our 2 year old daughter and it turns out this isn’t something she enjoys. Trying to cancel these AUTOMATIC charging classes is a nightmare. You cannot simply call to cancel but you have to be there in person on a weekday. Nope you can’t have them send you the form via FAX– excuse here is they need a ‘carbon’ copy? Ever heard of copier and copying it twice??? We both work and trying to make the extra effort to leave work to cancel something that SHOULD be done over the phone is ridiculous. The customer service here would put any gym membership cancelation department to shame! Should have read the reviews of others and it is true they are all about making money here. They sure make an IMPACT on your finances. AVOID!!!

We have been going to impact since my daughter was 3 I left for one year to go somewhere else but then returned back to impact so total of 4 years and I finally made a decision of leaving again I feel like the classes are to big they don’t recommend a class they don’t evaluate kids or make suggestions on what they need to improve or wok on its pretty much u sign them up and it’s just another student. Recital is beautiful costumes are a bit much and tickets are to high for it being in a high school. I feel like. I think the recital is all about money for impact. They also increase their rates almost every 2 years.

9 months of classes at $ 56 a month and $ 17 a ticket for the recital. During many of the performances at the recital they started the dancers’ music in the middle of the song and stopped the music leaving these poor kids who had practiced so hard and long just standing there. During my child’s performance they turned the stage lights off before the performance was finished. the school gave no apologies or anything. They acted as if nothing happened. I saw more than a couple of kids crying because their big show was ruined. We will not be returning to this school.

we have been coming here for 3 years now. my daughter started when she was three and has had ballet and tap with miss mickey. we are looking forward to her trying new classes now that she is older.
this past weekend was the recital. and for the first time, my husband also participated. he danced in the dad’s dance. it was a fun experience for us all. we’ve thoroughly enjoyed the shows. i usually take my daughter to the company dance recital the friday night before the kid performance. and i must say, it is very professional, down to the costumes, and the staging.
i don’t know of many dance studios for kids that do such a great job.
