As a mom of 3 girls, we have tried almost every dance studio in the area and were drawn to Studio 82 only because they employ a very popular Hip-Hop instructor. The only problem is that he only teaches one night a week. His class is so popular it draws students from all over and Studio 82 does NOT keep the class size small. They keep accepting new students all year and the class is crowded; sometimes over 30 in a class. The studio is very popular in the Strongsville area and one of the most expensive too. The studio has a very steep staircase which can be very dangerous for small children and pregnant moms; however, at the top of the staircase they have a lovely playroom for the little ones. My oldest daughter did not care for the studio mainly because of class size and was not very impressed with the overall quality of dance instruction in other classes offered there. This is another one of those studios where you will be paying top dollar and your child could wind up in a class with a teenage ""student"" teacher.
Pros: Popular with teens
Cons: Crowded class sizes
