Ages 1–18About this program
A Mercer Island dance school offering a full school-year program for children, teens and adults. Classes span ballet and pre-pointe/pointe, tap, jazz and musical theatre jazz, lyrical/contemporary, hip hop with intro to breakdancing, cheer, and tumbling/acro, organized into Tiny (3-5), Mini (5-7) and 7-and-up levels, plus creative movement for toddlers and a dedicated Adaptive Dance class for ages 6-11. The studio also runs summer camps and intensives and an annual recital.
Reviewers consistently describe a warm, supportive and non-intimidating class atmosphere, and praise the instructors as patient, knowledgeable and genuinely invested in each dancer. Parents cite strong technical instruction alongside growth in confidence and teamwork, and note the studio is well organized with responsive communication from the owner and staff. The breadth of offerings - toddler through teen levels, adaptive dance, and adult classes for returning or beginner dancers - is repeatedly called out as a strength.
One detailed multi-star review reports that the second half of the school year pivoted heavily to recital preparation, with that parent feeling costumes and the show were prioritized over ongoing class instruction and the children's confidence. This recital-focus complaint appears in a single review rather than as a recurring theme.
