Our daughter has taken classes at AIM for the last 2 years. In that time she has flourished under the talented and very dedicated instructors. They really do take the time teach proper technique and share their vast knowledge of the art of dance. At AIM you are more than just a dance, music, or acting student you are part of a family. From the friendly face that greets you upon arriving, to the instructors who love what they do to the owners who really do put their everything into making my childs and others experiences the best ever you cant go wrong in choosing AIM!

I have been trying to rent an instrument from this place for a week. They have nothing online about when they open (which is 3 by the way). When you call, no matter what time, it goes to voicemail. That voicemail doesnt give you their hours either. Their door doesnt have hours on it either! So I had to was hours trying to get into this place. I finally figure out what time they open and ask for a 15inch viola. The guy comes out with these two tiny vionins... We didnt notice at first, thinking they were tiny violas. He said rhey dont have anymore. Then we started thinking about it and said were those even VIOLAs?? Or did you show is violins? And he said oh yeah. Looks like I did. We dontd have Violas. It will take me at least two weeks to get you one. Which is not true. We just left. Ridiculous!! If yourey going to run a music buisness let people know when youre opening and have people working there know what instruments are.

Ed and Angela, the owners of AIMS are wonderful. They do the best to make sure your child has the best teachers to fit your music needs. They also go out of their way to make sure your child has the best music learning and performing experience. Their passion for musics is passed on and carry through every student they touch. Ed even took own time to fix Nolans guitar because he just saw the struggle Nolan was having with his guitar going out of tune. Ed identified the problem and help Nolan resolve it so he can focus on his music. There are other music schools and lessons out there but only place where the teachers care this much about their students.

My sister dances at AIM. She loves the owners, teachers and staff. I have watched many of the community performances she has been a part of and they are always entertaining and the quality of the performances is proof that the teachers at AIM provide the best education for the students. My sister is happiest on the days she gets to dance.

Little different story. We moved to AZ about 2 years ago & my son (17 at the time) has been playing guitar (self-taught) for the past 4 years and was a decent player. Because we were new to the area we thought wed sign him up for lessons so at least he could be doing something he loved & we enrolled him at AIM. I can not tell you how fortunate I feel that we picked AIM. What started as something to fill the time turned into something much more, my son started working with Gabe Santillan and his level of play has improved tremendously. I was pleasantly surprised on just how good he has gotten over a short period of time and he really enjoys his lessons. I would recommend AIM without hesitation.

Great Dance School!

Unfortunately there is a clique at the studio. Even the owner who is a teacher sets this bad example. Too expensive for poor dance experiences. There are more places with better prices and more qualified teachers in Buckeye.

Lots of schools out there but this one tops them all. My kids have not only grown in their skills but also their confidence. All due to professional trained teachers. Theres a reason this school was awarded the Official Best Performing Arts Education for Arizona in 2013 and featured nationally on the Discover Channel. Check them out for yourself.

My daughter has been dancing with AIM for 3 1/2 seasons. What she takes away from each and every dance class is so much more than dance technique (which by the way what she is learning in and of itself is pretty amazing). She experiences the lessons of life. Team work, compassion, empathy and problem solving. She is able to connect with peers and at the same time learn to work as a team to accomplish one common goal. That lesson in life is priceless. She cannot wait for her next dance class. She tells me that she feels she can express herself 100% without judgement and feel good about what she is creating in her dancing. Her teacher has taken her from a little girl who knew nothing about dance to a young lady who dances beautifully. AIM is a nurturing, safe, positive and creative environment that my husband and I feel completely at ease allowing her to be a part of. Thank you Ed, Angela, Shal, Angela B and staff

Very poorly organized and ran.

If you would like to see yourself and/or your loved ones thrive in music, enjoy being a part of a family that dedicates their time and life to their own love of music and you want to meet some good people along the way, join the Anderson Institute of Music & Performing Arts. We have been with them for 8 1/2 years and our experience has been fantastic.

This is such a fantastic, family-oriented studio that produces award-winning dancers and musicians!
