Best Ballet School Fayetteville Near Me

Jenn Stanley: We moved here about 2 years ago and since my daughter enjoyed taking ballet lessons back home, we immediately enrolled her for classes at another local dance studio closer to our house. I was very disappointed when she wanted to quit after only her first year in NC. Our neighbor suggested we try the Linda Kinlaw studio instead, so I convinced my daughter to try a class at the new studio before making the decision to quit. I am so glad we took her advice because LKSOD is the best! From the moment we stepped foot in the studio, I knew we had found the right place for us. We were greeted with a warm welcome from Kim at the front desk and a few of the parents who were waiting in the lobby. Her teacher even popped in to introduce herself a few minutes before the class began and took the extra time to personally walk with her to class being held next door in Studio 2. I have watched my daughter grow leaps and bounds since making the switch to LKSOD. I am not one to usually leave reviews but our time here at Bragg is sadly coming to an end and I wish we had found this studio first. I can only hope that my review will help other new families make the right choice the first time like I wish we had.

Dennis Kinlaw: Great dance school, best in town

Google User: We have been dancing at Linda Kinlaw School of Dance for 3 years now. I was very impressed with how much my 3 year old learned in her first year. I couldn't believe how much terminology my toddler was able to recite after only a few months. My daughter just finished her 3rd year of dance taking ballet, jazz, and hip-hop. We have had 3 different teachers so far and they have all been exceptional. The thing that stands out the most is how caring the staff has been. You can tell they really care about the students and go above and beyond to make sure they get individual attention even in a larger class size. We have done 3 recitals now and they have all been very organized. I highly recommend this studio it is by far the best around!

Daniel Velez: After trying two other dance studios before this one for my daughter, I found the quality of instruction superior than the others. Three years later, my daughter has come so far and genuinely has become attached to all the instructors! I couldn't ask for a better studio than this one and I highly recommend anyone with a child interested in dance to start here.

Sherie Delaine: I pulled my daughter out of this facility after about 3 classes. My daughter has been around family ever since she was born. Naturally, she was going to have separation anxiety as majority of kids exhibit this behavior when they are in an unfamiliar setting. As an experienced Pre-Kindergarten teacher, I know this to be prevalent and developmentally appropriate amongst young children. After her second class I was approached by a lady at the front desk who receives payments. She asked me if the teacher had spoken to me. I replied, "Spoken to me about what?" She stated, " Since your daughter doesn't seem to be adjusting well, We think you should wait a few months and bring her back when she's older. ( this was in front of other parents with my daughter present might I add) I sat in on one of the classes. There were children younger than my daughter and children that were older. In particular, there was an older girl there who totally disregarded the teachers. She ran around the room and even spat at a few of the other children. Yet, somehow my daughter who was naturally experiencing separation anxiety was a bigger distraction than the little girl who obviously lacked foundational parenting. The following week, the teacher approached me. She stated that my daughter had adjusted well and wanted to know if I would put her in the recital. So first she wasn't adjusting and then after one more class she was all of the sudden adjusting? What they have is a staff that clearly is incapable of deciding what adjustment actually entails. The lady at the front counter should have never approached me. The teacher should have initially expressed her concerns to me. I have now found a dance facility of QUALITY where she actually learns the basic foundations of dance. If you want your young child to develop the skill of dance as well as the art of dance this place is not sufficient. It is a playdate. If your teachers are not equipped to handle the development of preschool aged children do not advertise to preschool aged children.UPDATE: I posted a review on Facebook. You would think the business would be open to addressing my concerns along with the conduct of the staff. Instead, the business reported my review and had it removed. Go figure!

MrPinkdiamond10011: My 9-year-old daughter has been dancing at this studio for over a year now, and I must admit, this is by far the best facility we have been to! The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and they TEACH the children. I would highly recommend this studio to anyone that wants their child to succeed in dance!

Leann Staton: My daughter has been attending AODA for 2 years now and we absolutely love it! All the teachers and staff are so nice and helpful!

corrie dozier: My family has been dancing at this studio for a total of 16 years now. We have enjoyed year after year of excellent instruction and professionalism. We have been truly blessed to find a dance studio for our girls that feels like home and offers affordable ,top notch , instruction. We recommend AODA to everyone we talk to that is looking for a dance studio and will continue to do so with confidence.

Jen V: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueMy child has danced at AODA ten years. The school grows yearly in excellence, scope, and professionalism. We are proud to be a part of the AODA family.

Ashley Brunner: This dance studio has been such a blessing! They have fostered a love for and knowledge of dance in my daughter. The teachers are patient and kind, ensuring a positive environment where everyone gets individual attention and students encourage each other. They offer a variety of dance classes that range from preschool to adult. The events they host are always well organized and showcase the best their students have to offer. They work hard to keep costs affordable.

Michele Lockleair: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ValueWe have been with Alpha and Omega Dance Academy for over 10 years. They have amazing, kind teachers and staff. Put on outstanding recitals even in the midst of covid they found a way to showcase all the students hard work!

Lisa Terry: This dance studio is amazing! There is such a warm and welcoming atmosphere with positive, uplifting, and professional teachers. All of the students are so kind and encouraging to one another (which is something you don’t find at many studios) I’m so glad to have found AODA. It’s an obvious choice of dance studios to be a part of in Fayetteville.

A Belm: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,Value

Phia: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI started dancing here at AODA when I was about 7 years old, and I’m 15 now! This studio has an amazing atmosphere. The teachers are all so sweet and very encouraging. I love how friendly everyone is and how were all one big family :)

LiviLoseALot: I’ve been dancing at Alpha & Omega for almost ten years now, and to be honest I don’t think I could ever leave. 😂 The supportive and uplifting atmosphere of this studio makes it different from others. Literally nobody judges you. You don’t need any previous experience to come here either— and that’s what I like, because people can just dance! :)+ the staff is great!! I can tell they love their jobs and they’re some of my closest friends too. I love AODA.

Alyssa Liquori: This studio is absolutely amazing for the local kiddos in the community! All the teachers and staff are so gentle and kind with the students and so thrilled to be at their jobs every day and it shows. My daughter gets so excited for dance days every week. If you want your child to get a quality dance education where they are loved, prayed for, and lifted up, I HIGHLY recommend checking out AODA!

Jennifer Cook: We love AODA ❤️Amazing teachers and my girls have had such a wonderful time being a part of this studio!

Rachael Buttle: We couldn’t be happier at Alpha & Omega! The teachers and staff are amazing and I’m always blown away by the discipline, strength, and growth I see in my girls! The recitals are artistic and beautiful and I can rest easy knowing my daughters will dance in a way that showcases their strength and beauty while respecting their purity 💗

Kelda Nolen: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWonderful dance studio! Everyone in my family of 6 has taken various classes over the last 6 years and they’ve all been fantastic with exceptional instructors. We always look forward to the fabulous recitals as well. I can’t recommend AODA enough to anyone of any age looking for a dance class.

joy: Absolutely love dancing here! All the teachers are so sweet and patient. I’ll never forget this dance studio :)

Laura Buzani: Positive:Communication,Professionalism

greengoosepumpkin: Alpha Omega Dance is an amazing experience for my daughters! The teachers are nurturing and supportive. I love the focus on multiple dance styles: ballet, tap, jazz, modern, contemporary, lyrical, and hip hop. They also focus on keeping it clean and family friendly.

J. C: The best dance studio in Fayetteville! Both of my girls are also have kindermusik class here as well, Miss Becky is awesome!!!

Jennifer Parsons: Fantastic Dance stuido! My daughter is working on her 7th year here. The teacher's are awesome. Highly recommend this studio!

Sabrena Robinson: My granddaughter loves it.

Nakia Mccarthy: I absolutely love this place!!! My daughter has been a student here for 9yrs. I love that they treat everyone like family. I also appreciate the professionalism. The teacher's are extremely knowledgeable and talented.

Tracy Shay: Best studio! Best teachers! If you want true classical ballet training this is the place to go!

Alison Jones: This is the only studio in the Fayetteville area that offers true classical ballet. Students of this studio have gone on to dance professionally in New York and numerous other world-renowned ballet companies. After trying four other studios in the area and getting offers to join the competition team at many of those studios, we decided to give Charlotte Blume a try when we determined we didn't want to go the competition route. The classes are small enough that each student gets the attention they need. Students get the opportunity each year to perform in "The Nutcracker" at the Crown Auditorium before Cumberland County Schools' fourth graders and the public at large.The teachers are former professional dancers and focus on proper technique. The office staff is stellar. I highly recommend Charlotte Blume School of Dance.

ineke verschuur: My daughter has danced at Charlotte Blume School of Dance for 9 years. We love the teachers and the quality of teaching. The studio is the only dance school in town that focuses on teaching traditional classical ballet. No competition dancing at this studio, which we like.

Mev A-M: Ms. Mitchell is a great teacher!

Casey Jackson: My daughter loves it here. She's been with the studio for 6 years.

Jae Stokes: Words can’t express how blessed we are to be apart of such a great dance studio. Rene and her staff are so dedicated and loving to every dancer. My daughter and I love our IDA family!!!!

Mathew & Lindsey Condry: Highly recommend this dance studio! We moved here from another studio in Fayetteville just over 2 years ago and Inspiration is levels above other studios in dance instruction, professionalism, transparency, customer service and every other category out there. The owner and staff made us feel like family from Day 1 and my dancer has improved so much - not only technically but also in her interpersonal skills - since she started taking classes here! So much more than just a dance studio!

Angela Haynes: We love dancing at Inspiration Dance Academy! My daughter is heading into her 5th year with IDA and I have found that everyone at this studio greatly cares for the students. The teachers are professional and work to meet each dancer's individual needs. I have witnessed such grace and compassion when coaching individual dancers and while there is a focus on technique and skill, an even bigger focus is on the whole dancer. This is not just a dance studio--it is a family! If you are looking for a place for your dancer to grow as a dancer and as a human, please come try IDA! I promise you won't be disappointed.

Tiphanie Chokrallah: We have been dancing with inspiration dance academy since they opened the doors and love every moment of it. Our dancers continue to grow in their dance technique, flexibility, and acrobatics every class they attend. Not only in dance but as human beings as well, every teacher at IDA teaches the children through their own character how to be kind, respectful, responsible, take accountability, and encourage one another In the art of dancing. I highly recommend this studio to any family looking for a loving dance family for their dancers while building on their love for dance. They also offer great discounts for family’s with siblings, military, and first responders which helps tremendously when you have multiple children that love to dance.

Michael Tovar: This school is awful. My son stopped attending classes back in December but we had already paid for the recital costume. So my wife called and asked to either get a refund on that costume or pick it up since it was technically our property as we did pay for it. The lady at the school refused to allow her to pick it up without paying $48. Reason being we didn’t give them 30 days notice for withdrawal when my son quit back in December and they needed to charge us for January. What I find absolutely disgusting about this is that they weren’t even being taught dance during the month of December. So what did I pay for? The main instructor for my sons class ‘moved back to Australia’ (that’s what they told my son but made no effort to inform me or the other parents). Because of this they didn’t have a dedicated instructor for my sons class so for two weeks they did nothing. They played games, were given candy, and traded stickers. Then the following two weeks was winter break. It was during that break that my son came to my wife and requested he not be made to go back. Since the school was on break they were not accepting phone calls, and we weren’t able to find a direct email on the website. We had to submit an inquiry and wait for them to respond. We knew it likely wouldn’t be answered until break was over. This school requires a 30 day withdrawal notice and since they were closed and we couldn’t contact them we knew they would force us to pay for January and February (since the 30th day would’ve been in February) even though he wouldn’t be going back. So rather than jump through all those hoops we just froze the card they had on file and let him be automatically dropped from the class. However now that we want the costume we paid for they’re insisting we pay $48. They claim that’s January tuition but since he was a boy and I am military his tuition cost was $24 a month so that’s 2 months of tuition for what? It’s ridiculous that they made us pay for a service we didn’t receive in December in the first place and now they refuse to give us the costume we paid for. Never ever enroll your kids in this scam of a school. While this rant won’t get my money back, or my costume in my hands, at least it might save another hardworking parent from this headache.

Melody Lewis: Fantastic dance studio. My daughter loves it here ! Excellent instruction and friendly staff.

Tammy Deer: Great place... Friendly staff...

Andrea Frashure: My daughter absolutely loves Inspiration Dance Academy. She was really nervous starting, and was really nervous about the recital. However, Rene and Taylor really worked with her to boost her confidence. She is so excited to start attending even more classes in the new season!

R B: Meh

Alli Marie87: Very professional and dedicated instruction. We are finishing up our first year with IDA and I couldn't be more satisfied. Every instructor there is truly invested in each dancers growth. Mrs. Rene takes the time to provide each dancer with individualized goals for the year and provided written feedback on the progress throughout the year. There is a very high emphasis on eaching correct technique and responsibility. I have an 11yr old and a 6yr old dancing there and they both have matured so much over this past year. They take pride in their dances and work hard, thanks to the expectation set in the studio. Dancers are all encouraging of each other. I highly recommend to anyone looking for quality dance instruction with a positive environment. #teachinggraceinsideandout

Melissa Snyder: My children don't warm up well to new ppl due to being stuck at home during the Covid outbreak. However the wonderful teachers at Elite Especially Ms. Victoria, Ms. Michelle & Ms. Jen have really made my babies open up. Their faces light up anytime we drive by the dance studio and they can't wait to go to class. The best part is there is no favoritism. Everyone is treated equally. We can't wait to continue to grow with this amazing group of women.

S K: The best dance studio I have ever experienced. Operated by TRUE professionals. My girls teacher has made each of my girls feel confident and capable in their classrooms. My 3 year old has struggled with her nervousness and doesn’t take to people quickly. However, her teacher is by far her favorite person on Earth and she smiles SO big whenever she sees her. I couldn’t be happier with the women my daughters are modeling after here at Elite. The love they have for their students and staff does not go unnoticed. This is the dance center we will remember and love for years to come. Thank you teachers. You’re all wonderful humans!

Valorie Garrison: Unprofessional

Angela Wiggins: Have been going here since they opened. Good people, they remember who you are and always treat you like family. If you are looking for a good dance class I recommend going here.

Kaleigh Guy: Positive:Communication,Quality,Value

Kristine Cooper: We have been at Elite for the past few years and LOVE the staff and instructors! Wonderful environment, communication, and it has a family/small community feel! Definitely recommend this studio 😊

Jennifer Hamilton: I can't recommend this enough. My daughter has been there for 7 years and we love everything about Elite. The staff is wonderful and they are truly care for each student ❤

Wendy Irwin: This dance center is the Best! The staff is AWESOME and passionate about dance and their students. I've trusted my daughter w/their leadership for the last 5+years and she LOVES it and them.

Jodi Stancil Reynolds: My daughter LOVES dancing here. Great family business ❤️

Payton Locklear: I love this Stodio so much I have been dancing there since I was five and still am they are really good family!

Carmen Evans: Love this dance studio. We have always felt like family!!

Summer: Best dance studio in Fayetteville! Amazing with children of all ages.

L.A Clark: I love this dance studio for my girls Ms. Victoria and Ms. Michelle have been so accommodating to my kids individuality.

Julianne Ottersbach: We love it here. We have been here for three years, and the environment is wonderful.

Joanna Hinton: I love Mrs. tatiana and Mrs. Callie

Miranda Oliver: We love this place and can't say enough good about them! My daughter has special needs so I'm always hesitant about the reactions I may get toward her being involved in things but they are always so warm, welcoming and accommodating, even going the extra mile to learn some sign language to better communicate with her. My daughter loves it there!

Jennifer R: My daughter has tried out a few studios in the area. She has been to a number of different studios out of state (military, we move a lot). There is just a warmth at this studio. ALL instructors have been really kind. There has been no comparing of dancers, only an encouragement to do better and, of course, praise when you nail something difficult. I think there are some great things to say about the other studios in the area but this one just ticks all the boxes for not only my daughter but for me, as her mother, as well. My daughter has been at this studio since May of 2018, nearly a full year. I've never seen her smile this much in her classes since she started dance. There is a stigma around dance, that all instructors have to be relentlessly mean or hard as nails in order to produce great dancers. This studio breaks that stigma. It is refreshing.

Marilyn Harper: We love being a part of the Elite family. The classes are taught by knowledgeable and experienced dancers. They are great with kids and genuinely love what they do.

Sarah D: So sweet, great prices and great teachers!! My three year old loves her ballet/tap class :) her teacher is so patient and sweet, the owners are the sweetest too! Would recommend to anyone :)

Katherine Durham: We love this studio! My girls have been going here since they opened. The staff is great and truly cares about the kids. My girls have learned and grown so much since they first started. We wouldn't go anywhere else!

David: Roland’s is a great place for beginners and experienced dancers alike to learn and have fun. Allie and I were definitely beginners and we loved it, but we also saw people way more skilled than us having a great time too. Lacy in particular is an incredible instructor, who was really effective in teaching us the moves and made them a blast to learn. We will definitely be back before our wedding!

John Urso: was late every pvt lesson i booked except for the last one , she scheduled a class for me that i didnt ask for , then charged me for the class i signed up for 5 classes then i was told to hurry up and come to class because they expire was never told about and expiration , i had trouble scheduling classes because she was out of town lol then she blamed it on me

More Than Just a Pretty Shelf: Very knowledgeable and friendly Staff. Great atmosphere to learn and to dance!

R.S. Degurechaff: Great place to learn dancing. Never danced a step before coming here. The instructors are kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. The group classes and private lessons are decently priced. Well worth it!

Nathan Brault: Best place in Fayetteville if you want to learn how to dance!!!

Austin Everette: Couldn't be more satisfied with Roland's and their staff members! My fiancé and I decided to take dance lessons to make our first dance at our wedding memorable for our guests. I wasn't much of a dancer (mainly because I just didn't know how) but she danced throughout her childhood. We set up an introductory lesson to get a feel for things and quickly figured out it was the right decision. Everyone we have met in the studio has been extremely friendly, polite, and helpful with anything. Instead of focusing on building a routine specifically for a wedding dance, our instructor taught us several dances over the first month or two and then we used those elements to make our first dance flow. We have been going for about 4 months now, and I am so excited to continue after we come back from our honeymoon! Everyone was so surprised at our wedding and complimented us on how good we did. It definitely wouldn't have been possible without their staff and the fantastic job they did! (Shout our to Stash, who was our main instructor, but everyone we worked with was awesome!)

Blake Aultman: Wonderful warm and friendly people. I've learned so much here and made many friends . The instructors are amazing and not only intructors but lifelong friends. I would recommend this place to anyone they love dance and are passionate about teaching :)

Mike Koziol: Horrible experience! My fiancé and I made a weekend appointment, and the instructor no showed us. What a waste of our time. Staff was very inconsiderate! Would not recommend them because of atrocious customer service!

William Vaughan: My wife and I have enjoyed going to Roland's Studio for the last two years. I had to learn a basic Waltz for a wedding so I had no choice initially. I was somewhat expecting an elitist, stuffy atmosphere, but it was the complete opposite. Friendly and low-key. I have been taking lessons from Lacy Kraft at Roland's. Very nice young lady. Excellent dancer and more importantly, she's patient with her students. The other instructors are also good. I highly recommend their dance studio.

Stacy Matos: Love the family like atmosphere. Classes are a great way to meet new people and learn some cool dance moves. Monthly dance socials are so much fun. Good clean energy and non judgmental environment. You will definitely have a good time.

Jacqueline Westra: Fayetteville Latin dance is made up of amazing owners and instructors that are very encouraging and welcoming. The instructors are very dance savvy and go above and beyond to create a fun, safe and judge free environment for all students. They offer a variety of dance classes as well as a variety of classes for beginning through advance levels.They also offer private Latin dance sessions and are amazing dance choreographers. The instructors Choreographed our 1st wedding dance and dance with our parents for our wedding. All to say they made the experience so much fun and our wedding day even more special!I strongly recommend Fayetteville Latin Dance if you want to have fun, want to socialize a bit, get a little work out in, want to learn to dance or improve your dancing skills, and for any choreography needs for special events. Such as, quinceañeras, weddings, etc…

Rican: Great instructors and community of like-minded Latin dancing enthusiasts. You’ll learn, have fun, and make friends along the way.

D Bak: What a Gem of a place! Did not know what to expect when I first walked in, but was instantly welcomed with open arms. The teachers have so much knowledge and love for dancing, and it shows. Would recommend people of all levels to come try it out. The atmosphere, people, teachers, are all amazing!

Pam Flores: Fayetteville Latin Dance has become my family! When I first moved to the area I had been looking for a studio to join to help me improve my salsa basics. The moment I stepped into Kemar and Ashley’s salsa class on Wednesday, I immediately felt like I was home. The class was upbeat, diverse, and they made everyone feel welcome and like they could achieve anything no matter what your dance level. Shortly after I joined the FLD Ladies Bachata team and that has literally been life changing. I have grown my skills and confidence, but most importantly gained an amazing sisterhood and family with everyone at this studio. If you are curious at all about trying out Latin dance, definitely don’t hesitate to check out Fayetteville Latin Dance! You will make friends, become a great dancer, and have so much fun!

Lyndon Wright: I was introduced to them through a great friend of mine about two months ago, and they have been so good to me since day one. Their staff is always friendly, easy to work with and fun to learn from. They promote a very welcoming atmosphere to people of all backgrounds, ages and experience levels. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is new to dancing or just wants to hone their skills and learn a little.

A VanD: The instructors are very friendly and work with you. I started salsa and bachata lessons in the classes with no prior experience. They worked with us on the very basics untill we we comfortable to move up to the more intermediate classes.

Danielle Walker: Teachers are AWESOME and the students that also go there are positive and uplifting. Everyone is very encouraging! Thumbs up! Ive made the greatest friends there!

Ashley Patterson: Fayetteville Latin Dance is one of the best places to latin dancing in the Fayetteville, NC. It is a very fun and encouraging environment for anyone to be able to dance.
