  Before the holidays I was referred to an instructor here named Jessica for beat boxing lessons. The lessons were for my nephew who expressed an interest in learning more about beat boxing. Lessons like this were not easy to come by so when I got in touch with Jessica I felt like there was definite hope in letting my nephew explore this journey. She was responsive and flexible as far as pricing and availability went, which I really appreciated. My nephew and I went for his lesson and he was overjoyed! He loved everything about it and was excited to get back. I shared with Jessica that he would be getting braces later that week and would need some time for them to adjust. There was about 3 weeks in the gap of us communicating, but I have tried multiple times and ways to get in touch with her since the end of January so he can go back. She hasn't responded to anything and my nephew is feeling pretty crushed. I'm not sure if her behavior is that of the whole studio, but I didn't have any other way to express what happened.

  Response from the owner

  Hi Nicole. After speaking with Jessica, she said that she did indeed call you back after seeing your last text and also left you a voicemail. Jessica has been an instructor at Dance For Joy for 10 years and is an extremely responsible artist and teacher. I am sorry that you were not satisfied with the level of communication, but it seems like this was a clear miscommunication between you two and has nothing to do with the integrity of Dance For Joy as a studio. We saw the video of your nephew beatboxing with Jessica in studio 4 and we thought he was wonderful! We hope to see you and your nephew soon!

  As we finish our third year with Dance For Joy, I find myself even more impressed than our first year. This studio has the most amazing staff and educators and the recitals are INCREDIBLE. Both of my daughters look forward to their classes every single week. As a first time dance mom, I always have a significant amount of questions and they have never gone unanswered. Each step of the way the dress code, schedules, tuition and recital information is sent in a timely manner with full details. We will absolutely be a DFJ family for life. If you're looking for a fantastic dance studio, at any level, for your child BOY OR GIRL, you will not be disappointed with Dance For Joy.

  The best dance studio in the area for producing well rounded dancers. The ballet instruction is top notch and choreography is so creative with emphasis on art rather than competing. Staff is warm and highly trained. They give wonderful guidance for all ages. My son takes classes there. He loves it and always feels welcomed and loved.

  Our 3 year old had a fantastic experience in pre ballet last year! The only problem we faced was the dress code, our daughter didn't like wearing DFJ's leotard for unclear reasons as it was very nice but this made her a real bear getting into it. The owners and staff are so kind! The business is well organized which is clearly seen in their show at the end of the year. Thanks for all you do!

  Won a $100 gift Certificate at a School function, was very excited. Certificate was only for a Summer Program. Spoke with them a few times as soon as I got the certificate to confirm my grandaughter can do the summer program on Thursday nights since we have a conflict with schedules and I will be the only one to take her (since I work) She was approved to start and they were to get back to me with a price. It has been over a month, multiple phones calls and voice mails left and no one has ever called me back. Not impressed at all.

  Response from the owner

  Dear Kathy, I’m sorry that our response time was not to your satisfaction. We are in the midst of our busiest time of year... recital season. We put on five incredible shows in one weekend! We try to stay on top of all phone calls. Unfortunately you started calling during our spring break. Upon our return we called you back immediately and spoke several times. We even gave you a tour of the studio. We spoke less than a week ago about getting back to you on pricing for the summer session. We even went against policy to fulfill your request to only take half of the summer session. You were just waiting for a price that we simply had not figured out yet. Summer pricing was finalized yesterday. Had you been a little more patient you would have received a call today. Sorry it didn’t work out.
