Xtreme Dance Center — Local services in Naperville

I had such a poor experience with the 3's pop-up class today. The teacher (who seemed kind but inexperienced working with kids) was very strict about the kids staying on their floor markers and learning the routine...but they are only 3, I think her expectations were too high. After a while they went to do the craft portion, which was stringing beads. The small beads made this activity is too advanced for the young 3 year olds. After about 15 minutes of doing the craft the teacher said they were to be dismissed exactly 30 minutes early since, "they weren't that into the dancing or the beading." This really surprised me since that is a large chunk of time. I told her that I wanted my child to finish the class and burn off some energy and have fun and that we should just do freestyle dance. The teacher said she tried that but agreed to try again anyway. The moms joined them for the class and the kids seemed to have fun in the rest of the class, however, the teacher didn't have songs picked out. She kept asking for requests and looking them up on youtube, not having a playlist or any ideas of what to play for kids songs in a kids dance class was surprising to me. I also felt that they were extremely tough in pressuring one of the mom/child attendees to leave her child and let her cry, they didn't want the mom to sit in the room. The staff kept insisting that they have been teachers and its better to "rip it off like a band-aid" with kids who don't want to join the class in these crying scenarios, which is such an antiquated view and really not healthy for the child, and does not build trust with the child/teacher. TLDR: Disappointed in everything. Will not be...

I would highly recommend Xtreme to friends and family! My daughter has attended Xtreme dance since she was 3 years old and is now on the competitive team. Ms. Brenna encouraged my daughter to join the Hip Hop Team and she’s been dancing competitively every year since… she is now almost 15 years old and loves to dance! Ms. Brenna and Mr.JC are great directors! They listen, give constructive criticism and truly care about the kids! Timely communication has improved over the past as well as better listening skills from the front desk and for the most part our experience has been good. If your child has a love and passion for dance, I would recommend Xtreme to any parent who wants to keep their child engaged and active both mentally and physically. Xtreme really excels in the Hip Hop category of dance and it’s always exciting to watch them...

The owner of the studio had the worse customer service that I have ever had. My kid attended the whole year of dance class, and just because we couldn’t attend the performance day, the teacher asked my kid to sit on the floor during the whole class, he could not dance at all. I brought the complain to the owner of the studio, she did not believe me but told me she will ask the teacher and call me after. She never called us back, every time we called for her, she was never there and never reached out back to us for even an explanation. Her name is Brenda, she’s extremely unprofessional and not willing to take any...
