Hart Academy of Dance

My almost-​3-​year old is in the Jazz/​Tap combo class and looks forward to her classes with Miss Solange every week!
After searching around at a few different studios, I was appreciative of Shayna (the front desk manager) for answering all my questions right away.
As a new student you’re able to do one free trial class and this is where my kid fell to the ground sobbing when it was over and didn’t want to leave. Needless to say we turned in our forms that same day. They offer a cookie fundraiser which helps you pay your tuition if you choose to take part in it.
Love all of the staff here and are excited to call Hart our dance home.

Hart Academy of Dance is the studio for us! We tried a couple of others around town and finally settled here. It has a great balance of professionalism, friendliness, and class. We personally do not compete, although they do offer competitive dance, so I cannot speak to that aspect.
The Christmas Open House is personal and lovely while the summer recital is formal, exciting, and very well-​done! The only down-​side is that classes fill up quickly and recital tickets sell out. For the three year we have attended, all teachers have been wonderful and Miss Shayna, the front desk manager is super helpful and awesome.
They also offer a dance store and auto-​debit for payments so everything can be taken care of easily. You will «heart» Hart!

My daughter has been dancing here for only a year, but I’ve been quite pleased with their instruction and the classes they offer. She’s taken jazz and hip-​hop with Miss Samantha. I’d love to see them offer an adult tap class; not sure if they do. I’d also love to see acrobatics and tumbling classes offered to round out the dance experience.
The studio just went through an expansion which is great! More studio space and a small store.

I loved the adult ballet class on Tuesday nights. It was my first ballet class that I have taken since I was a kid and this class is a great place to get back into it. The instructor was good, and the other students were really great as well. All ages welcome! You’ll learn a lot of technique and have fun too.

I really like this studio. It is night and day to my old one. They employ great classroom management skills and are firm without being mean. They combine some group activities with one on one attention making sure every child gets the material. It’s clean, in good repair, and has central a/​c. They take student safety seriously and are constantly evaluating students to make sure they are where they should be.

I absolutely love Hart! My daughter is in the youngest class they offer at 2 years old and their teacher Ms. Tiffany makes all her students feel welcome and enjoy dance. Also, they bill you monthly with automatic payment which is great

Great studio with great teachers! We came from another studio so it was easy to see how superior this studio was. Most of the instructors have college degrees in either teaching, kinesiology or dance (unlike other studios that had some high school kids teaching). This studio has 4 dance rooms so there are plenty of classes going on at the same time. The best part about this is that they offer more than 1 of the same class/​level. The waiting area is comfortable and clean. There is a snack room for the kids to eat in and they have a variety of snacks you can purchase.
My favorite part of this studio is that they measure all the students for costumes. If there are any alternations that are needed, the studio takes care of it because it is part of the costume fee! I love, love this! It’s so hard for parents to measure and size out costumes. It’s so much better when the experts want to take care of it for you! I really appreciate the alterations because it makes each of the dancers look like they have custom fit costumes!
My daughter has grown so much as a dancer in her short time her. She really loves this place!
I whole heartily recommend this studio.

We have been coming here for 5 years! The teachers are great and my kids love their classes.

Last night was my first adult ballet class. I did ballet before so it wasn’t hard to catch up. It was a great class and was a pretty intense work out session for me, as i don’t do any exercise regularly. The teacher was very good, making sure everyone is learning and with the correct postures.
Tuition is affordable, which is $ 40 per month (one hour class per week.)
I enjoy the class a lot and wish the class would meet twice a week though.
I would suggest them to have a changing area, besides the toilet. and it would be great if there was a space for students to get warmed up before class.

I took the adult tap and adult ballet class here. The adult tap class had students ranging in age from teenager to moms. I entered the class when they had been practicing for a while and was very behind. We worked out some fun stuff but there were a lot of steps that I didn’t know. The instructor did a great job at going over the steps with me without holding up the rest of the class.
The ballet class moved a lot slower and is known as the «mom class» because all of the students (excluding me) are moms. Most of the class is pretty advanced and dance on pointe shoes! The instructor was extremely patient with me and she really works with everyone to make sure that they are getting the technique correctly and really stretching.
Overall, the studio is well kept but it can get a little warm. I’m still shopping around for the right studio (I’ve been to three now and I feel like Goldilocks) but I really want to find a studio that can work out the basics with me!
Oh yeah! And your first class is free. Since I took tap and ballet in the same day, the studio comp’ed my ballet class since it would be the more expensive class. That was very considerate of them and very much appreciated.
