S&R Dance — Local services in Freeport

I signed my 4 year old daughter up for dance classes and paid in advance for the year. I thought it would be so cute and she would continue to dance as she got older. We attended dance classes on Tuesdays for 45 minutes. After just a couple months, maybe 8 hours of lessons in total, the teacher pulled me aside and told me my daughter cannot dance this year and to try again next year. Apparently my 4 year old daughter was not learning the steps as quickly as the 5 year Olds in her class and was not meeting expectations. I understand this is a professional dance company and they want their dancers to look amazing at recital. BUT, she's 4. She's literally still a toddler.

This is an amazing place! I went here when I was little. The teachers were amazing at what they do. I highly suggest this place. I’m pretty sure it accepts all ages. When I last went there I’m pretty sure there was a karate thing. I’m not to sure anymore. S & R taught me a lot, I dance everyday in my room. I’ve been wanting to go back but I already have sports that sometimes take up when I’m supposed to go. I want to go back really bad and I just hope if you guys want to try this place out to go for it. Again, this place is amazing and I hope you...

The dance instructors and staff are fantastic and provide a fun place for kids to learn and get out a little bit of extra energy! They also provide numerous adult/child and adult only classes proving that it's never too late! In addition, the facility has had many recent updates in a historical building....
