Dance Dimension has all the things a mom could look for in a program for her children. I have two children who have attended dance classes there for 4 years and have been extremely happy with my experiences. The facilities are small and very family friendly. Each child is greeted by name when they enter the studio as are the parents and siblings of the dancer. The class sizes are relatively small and there is a definite family atomosphere. All the instructors have a high level of professionalism and are talented dancers, as evidenced by the fact that they have performed in the last two recitals. The routines for the children are well choreographed, and each student's individual strengths are always highlighted. Many of the children have been attending dance class together for many years and have developed healthy relationships with each other. Instead of encouraging the students to be competitive with each other as some other dance schools do, these instructors focus on the positive aspects of dance and encourage all the children to be positive in their interactions with others. The recitals are very entertaining as theater is incorporated into them also, so there is always a story line to move the numbers along and you avoid the long wait in between numbers because the audience is being entertained. The owner and her staff do their best to make each child feel special and each family. The prices are very family friendly and the owner does her best to keep dance (an expensive pursuit with shoes, outfits, recitals, etc.) as affordable as she can for families. The facility is small, but taken care of well and with a lot of creativity. After speaking to many parents in the area about various dance schools I've come to realize how good all the families of Dance Dimension have it in this ""hidden gem"" on the south shore. I would highly recommend this dance school to any parent looking to enroll their child in dance and/or theater classes.
Pros: small class size, family atmosphere, positive focus-not competitive
Cons: Parking can be hard during class change times
