Review №4

My daughter has been taking classes at RDA for over a year and a half now. It has been a great experience overall. Not only do I, my husband and daughter like the family atmosphere and values of the owners and staff, we also appreciate the level of attention and detail the instructors provide the students. As a working parent, availability of classes that fit my and my childs schedule is important to me, and I have been pleased so far with RDAs offerings. Yes, dance can be pricy, but, in shopping around, I found their prices pretty comparable. I love that RDA has begun having a summer musical alongside showcases and a formal ballet performance. My daughter loves to sing and the opportunity to be on stage in a musical thrills her no end. This is her first year in the studios annual Nutcracker ballet, and she is having a blast. Is RDA perfect? No, but what studio or business is? My family has been pleased with our time at RDA. - Wendy Runyon

Racist! I walked in to ask about their classes; receptionist was away from her desk. I knew it was at a busy hour so I patiently waited to be helped. Well..when she finally came her cell phone was ringing and she decided to leave me waiting and waiting to take care of her personal matter. Then when she decides to finally help she was rude! You can tell she hates her job. Felt unwelcomed. Worst place ever! I wouldnt want my children around such unprofessional unhappy people. Seems like only white people are welcome. THOUGHT YOU ALL SHOULD KNOW. By the way this is the only review I’ve EVER done.

RDA is the kind of school you would want your children to attend. The owners care very much about their students. Ive been teaching for 10 years and can honestly say that this studio stands at a different caliber. The children and staff are a community. Everyone is family at RDA. The studio has a strong classical ballet background but they also teach current styles of jazz, contemporary and Hip Hop. I am very proud to be an instructor at RDA.

RDA is amazing! I couldn’t ask for a better dance studio! The teachers are all very experienced dancers themselves, and are very caring and supportive. My daughter has been there for a year, had never danced before, and the growth she has shown in that year is incredible! She went from not being able to do anything close to a split, couldn’t do a cartwheel, and had absolutely no clue about any dance technique, and her improvement just astounds me. She loves to be there. Her goal for last year was to be able to get to competition level. She hit that goal. I attribute this to the family environment that RDA has created. The support from every single one of her teachers has been fabulous! The rest of the staff is AMAZING as well! In just one year, this studio has become a home away from home, and the people there a second family. I believe that if we had gone to a different studio, my daughter would not have improved as much or become so confident in her dance.As far as price, I looked into other studios before we came here, and they are very comparable to other studios in the area. Obviously the more classes you take, the more it costs. Also, there are extras such as summer and winter programs/showcases, and private lessons, but these are all OPTIONAL. There has never been any pressure on me (by the studio... my daughter is a different story!) to join any of these. It’s all at our comfort level.As far as I’m concerned, this is the best studio around!!

The place seems well established but I was not impressed with the hip hop class that my granddaughter (4 yrs old) participated in.... It was a 45 minute class with about 5 mins of actual dancing. The instructor was obviously a rookie.We are going to stick with their ballet class.

I am going to be honest, I love the Staff and the teaching methods, Although I do not like the fact that there prices are expensive just to do certain things like showcases or privates you do have to pay lots of money. Another con about this RDA is that I did not like how they made combo classes constantly. I mean every once in a while is great, but every week was very fusturating. Even when there was a specific class made for just that certain level they would still constanly do combo classes. It would make lots of people confused who were in the lower level because they did not get the certain moves. I found it very frustrating and tiring. Anyway besides the expensive prices and combo classes, this dance academy is a very spectacular, and I do like their teaching points sometimes and the dance instructors are very friendly. You learn alot from this academy, I sure learned alot from it. And I would like to thank them for the experience and knowledge in performing arts they tought me.
