I am disappointed! I spoke to the studio on numerous occasions throughout the summer to find the perfect class for my child. We were told that we could come try a class on Saturday. We got our child dressed following their very strict dress code and showed up for our trial class. We were told that our child could not dance because the class was full. Fine! It wasn’t so much that we were told that the class was full, it was how we were told that really upset me. It was very dismissive and unapologetic. It was as if the child was not at the heart of this conversation. In any education system, the children should come first. When I asked about wait lists a rude women who was fitting children for shoes would not even look at me. She simply said that the studio could not possibly call everybody that’s interested back when a spot becomes available. As if to say my request and continued interest in the class was so outrageous. Moreover, she said that couldn’t possibly call everyone who leaves messages back. I confirmed that I did actually speak to a human being that works in the studio on three separate occasions. They showed me online that the class was filled but did not offer me any other options for my child. It did not seem like they cared for me as a customer and my child was very disappointed. The studio shouldn’t have taken my name or directed me to come to a trial class if my child was going to be disappointed. The staff was extremely dismissive and did not put the customer first. The owner/manager would not even come out to speak to me. She just relayed messages from...

I have been a part of this wonderful family for many years as a dancer in the adult classes. When my three children were younger, they danced here as well. As students of Miss Rosanne and Miss Colleen (along with others through the years), they learned such important skills--as well as their dance steps. They learned to listen to the teacher, to encourage their classmates, to accept their given role in a situation and perform it to their best, to practice if they wanted to get better, to be respectful of others, and to be a part of something bigger than themselves. I was never in the audience for recitals, as I was always there dancing myself; but I'll always remember the look on their faces as they would come off the stage after a performance as I watched from the wings: Pure JOY. The experiences they were a part of with this group of teachers helped shape them into the young adults they are becoming! Me? My experiences are still shaping me, now three times a week in tap, jazz, contemporary and ballet. I love my Infinite Motion family and can't think of a better studio in the area (or...

I have been a part of the Infinite Motion PAA family from the very beginning. As an adult taking classes you get to experience all aspects of the studio; including the interaction of the students with the teachers and each other, the professionalism that is shared, the caring of students for themselves and other dancers, as well as the fun and learning that takes place every day. I have seen students grow in self confidence and as performers. Miss Colleen and Miss Rosanne, along with the all of the staff, teach more than just dancing, singing, and performing. This studio is a positive place for children to grow, learn, achieve, and feel confident in themselves as well as being an individual and part of a group. IMPAA is a top quality studio and the best environment for students of all ages,...
