My daughters danced at this studio for 4 years (classes and company). It was okay at first, but with each year and growth of the studio, everything went downhill. The owner, instructors and staff are very much into themselves and do not care about the thoughts of the parents or students. When my older daughters entire class worked up the courage to go to the Directors to voice their concerns about a prop that was being used in their number (it was for 2-3 year olds and they were all 8 & 9), they said that they are the Directors and the kids will do what they are told. The girls told them that these tiny shopping carts were hurting their backs because they are so small and girls were pushing them over and falling. But they did not care. The girls were humiliated at their performances. My oldest daughter was taking 6 classes and never missed one class all year. During rehearsals before the recital we were late, due to a medical emergency, and they would NOT let her perform in the 2 dances she had been working so hard to perfect and we had spent over $200 on the costumes. I went to the Director, teachers, office manager, but they all said it's not their problem and she will not perform. My daughter cried herself to sleep and was very, very sad. She then had to sit through these 2 performances and watch her friends and not one person came to console her, only rubbed it in her face that she was not able to perform. They said they are setting the tone for other kids to never miss a rehearsal. BUT AT THE EXPENSE OF AN 8-YEAR OLD WHO HAD NO CONTROL OVER THE SITUATION!? It's inexcusable. This dance studio only cares about the money they make and themselves. They definitely do not have a care for the kids. I now know of several families leaving this studio to find a happier, more caring environment, not one where kids are made to cry and be embarrassed. On a last note, if your child does dance in company, you are required to volunteer 25 hours a dance year of your time to events that RAISE MONEY FOR THE DANCE COMPANY. All of the hours you volunteer for that don't raise money, are not counted towards these required hours. If you are even 25 minutes short of these 25 hours, they withdraw $300 from your checking account. This is a studio that is very much into cliques. It is a very uncomfortable environment. I am looking into 2 other dance studios right now and will send out a review of the one we pick and hopefully love. more

Umm Barbara yea Legally Blonde sucked it's way to winning platinum at competition even though one of the singers lost her voice before competing... definitely.. stop being mad because your studio didnt win platinum in that category. k thanks. more

My daughter has been enrolled at 24/7 since the studio opened and has been there for 7 years. We have seen the studio grow immensely over that time. While 24/7 had growing pains like any other business that becomes popular - the children's safety, overall development, and age appropriate dance AND costumes has always been the studio and owner's top priority. My daughter also dances in the performance company the studio has developed. They have won awards against competition studios who sometimes are not as nurturing. Deadlines for payment are deadlines - every parent is to read and sign a handbook - the studio cannot be held responsible if parents sign the handbook without first reading it.The Theater Company has also grown in popularity and while another person expressed dissatisfaction with the production I feel the students do an AWESOME job and they work very hard. Please keep in mind they are novices NOT professionals. more

We saw them at competition and they sucked.Legally Blonde, terrible. "The Laryngitis Project?" Borderline amazing! JK! Dalton is my hero forever! Oh and Agony...no way. Not good. Do you KNOW what pitch is? Btw...I wish we could give 0 stars... more

In an area saturated with many choices for dance instruction, 24/7 dance studio excells at providing parents and students with the "whole package." All of the teachers are highly qualified, the office staff is friendly and efficient, and the prices are very competitive for the area. Additionally, the facility is clean, well lit, and nicely maintained. 24/7 is a great studio for recreational dancers, professionally bound dancers, and their parents. While it is important to shop around for a dance studio that will fit your personality, location, and pocket, you won't need to look further than 24/7 dance studio! PROS: Qualified Staff, Good Value, Great Opportunities CONS: more

24/7 Dance Studio offers children a positive atmosphere for educational enrichment. Their staff focuses on core values such as self-confidence and independence. Children at 24/7 have the opportunity to work with some of the most dedicated and devoted teachers in the county The teachers and staff truly love their job as well as their relationships with both the children and parents. The studio is an organized, clean and family friendly facility. They give our children several performance opportunities while often offering the proceeds various foundations. They give so much of their time to making our childrens experience with them entertaining and enlightening while expecting nothing more from the parents then what was agreed upon at registration. We cannot forget that 24/7 is a business and in order to insure its organization and efficiency for the parents and students it must enforce deadlines. My daughter was enrolled in a Saturday class and it is clearly one of the most popular d more

I love the teachers because they actually care about what the children learn. They follow a syllabus and like school, they need to be able to pass certain skills before moving into the next level, but they also do not hold children back because of their age. I love the staff because the love their job, very professional when handling the business and the organizational end of the process. more

Choose your dance studio wisely! My daughter's first year in dance was at this studio. We loved the teacher, but not the administration. They need to be more flexible in their payment policy (I understood payment to be due the first week of class...we had saturday class so months when class was not held on Saturday or cancelled for some reason, we were penalized with a late fee because we did not DRIVE our payment into their office earlier in the week...same thing with costume payment...our class was ONE DAY after the due date and we were to pay a late fee!!!). They were also snotty...especially at recital rehearsal and expected parents who were volunteering to keep young children out beyond 9 pm! more
