Fantastic experience: Our daughters have been attending ATB since they were littles in the parent and child classes. All instructors we have come in contact are so great and friendly with our littles.

Thanks Brittany, we love our students and love to hear from our ATB families!

Negative experience: The secretary impersonated the Korean gymnastics coach by putting her fingers to her eyes pulling back. She danced her head side to side and made a racist slur. The owner laughed and said "how's his driving." This was at a leadership meeting. This is my review of the facts as they occurred, thus is protected speech and not libel.

Negative experience: Unfortunately our daughter was let down by this place. We were excited to sign her up for her first age 3-5 dance class, and she had a nice first class, but they failed to mention that her second class would be a mini performance for a room full of parents. Our 3-year-old was caught off guard and cried the whole time, and didn’t want to come back. We asked her why she was upset and she said that the room full of adults was scary to her, which is understandable for a little 3-year-old who only had one class ever. We convinced her to try it again and she had a meltdown outside the room and wouldn’t go in because she was too scared due to her last experience. Seriously, if a 3 year old signs up for a class that has a performance in a week, how did it not cross your mind to bring it up? I’m disappointed that this studio was more interested in our tuition money than developing a young child’s love of dance. Maybe if they cared more they would have suggested we start a few weeks later. Now she’s scared of it and the studio will not be receiving any more of our tuition money... seems a little counterintuitive compared to the mission of this studio. Hope we can convince her to try again in the future somewhere else.

Noah, I am sorry your daughter did not enjoy her experience. We consider the feelings of our students very important. Please reach out directly to us so we can try to find a solution for your daughter, perhaps a different class would suit her better. We pride ourselves on having our parents involved with their children's dance education. Sometimes at the end of a class, we will invite the student's parents in to see what they have been learning, and allow the parents to video their own child to help them remember their choreography. This also gives children a chance to get comfortable performing in front of people, starting first with their families. Please email us at [email protected] to see how we can make your daughter more comfortable in a class.

Fantastic experience: I especially appreciate having options for boys that they really enjoy and that aren't just adapted versions of the girls' classes. It's also really good having male coaches who are excellent role models. Nice facility, great teachers, small classes.

Fantastic experience: My daughter started beginners gymnastics and beginners dance earlier this year. Every single coach has been nothing but encouraging, uplifting and been a blessing in our lives. My daughter began her classes with separation anxiety and is now stress free and full of joy. She admires her coaches and looks up to them!!! They have presented themselves with such a professional demeanor and my daughter has advanced in her skills as well as her classes per coach recommendations. The dan e recital really threw me off. The dan ers are incredible!!!

Negative experience: I thought this was a decent place based off the reviews but I was wrong!! My daughter had gone to 2/4 classes and they took my money and unenrolled my daughter then refused to give me a refund. Now I have to go through my back to get my money back. Very unorganized. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD HERE!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Love this place. We go for open play and my son has a blast. Great way to let the kids run around and explore, especially if it’s bad weather outside. Price isn’t bad, place is very clean and the staff is friendly! I don’t know about lessons but the time allowed for open play is great for the little kids!
