JMD STUDIOS - WEST — Local services in Laurel

I absolutely love this studio. Not only are the instructors amazing, as can be seen by the best dance recitals I have ever been to- performances were beautiful, orderly, fun, inspiring; even the littlest children understood their routines (enough), costumes were amazing and priced affordably to spread costs and allow for maximum participation- not only this, but the operations are run better than any studio I have ever worked with. They are very communicative using emails and flyers. They plan everything to the smallest detail- I got a phone call informing me that my two daughters were scheduled to be in two different recitals and offering me an opportunity to adjust their class schedules (putting them in different classes) so they could appear in the same show. What thoughtfulness!! I could go on and on, however suffice it to say, I am so thrilled with this studio and hope to be here until my littlest Kindergartener graduates from high school. Thanks JMD Studios, and especially Alycia for running an amazing business. I...

Signed my child up for an 8 week spring dance class. We check in and purchase a t-shirt and dance shoes for $60 +. We walk to the class and the dance teacher is surprised saying she does not have a 6:30 pm class. We find out my child was the only one who signed up. She agrees to do a private class for that day and the front desk says they will help us find another class. Well to make this short there was no other class available for my child’s age group that was open. My child was really looking forward to dance and to tell her that there was a miscommunication and she needed to take off the t-shirt and shoes so we could return them was really unfair. I appreciate the front desk looking for an alternative but this could have been prevented. We should have been informed ahead of time but instead it was a waste of our time and money. The biggest issue here is the disappointment my child...

I can’t say enough great things about this dance studio! My child has absolutely thrived here. The teachers are not only talented and professional but also kind, patient, and truly invested in each student’s growth. They create such a positive and encouraging atmosphere that my child looks forward to every single class.

In just a short time, I’ve seen such a boost in confidence, coordination, and creativity. The choreography is age-appropriate and fun, and the performances are always beautifully organized and full of joy. It’s clear that the staff care deeply about helping kids fall in love with dance while building discipline and self-esteem.

We feel so lucky to be part of this amazing dance family — I would highly recommend this studio to any parent looking for a place where their child can grow, shine, and truly...
