Dance dance dance is not only a dance school. They take their time instructing your child. Everyone has a chance to become successful in this school. I love that everyone knows each other by their first name . It's like one big whole family. My daughter has been attending dance dance dance for about four or five years and every year gets better and better. They teach the children structure, confidence, and that this is not a playground that it's all about dance. It's worth every penny sending my daughter to this fabulous school.

I respect others opinion but I like to express mine when it comes to sending my daughter to Dance, Dance, Dance...

I understand some of the reasoning behind teachers not wanting parents to watch during classes:

I am totally against allowing parents to watch the class each week. I believe parents watching the class is a real distraction for the children. After all it is a 'class' where the children are learning... you aren't allowed to sit and watch your children at primary/high school to ensure they are progressing and behaving. Most teachers like myself are happy to talk to parents after class if they have any queries about their child.

I am VERY against parents watching! Whenever they come into the room, they watch so closely and carefully, and all the girls get distracted by them!

I don't think that parents should be able to watch dance classes, and thankfully they don't at the dance school my daughter attends. Dancing is a SCHOOL. DO parents watch their children 24/7 at SCHOOL? I don't think so! Dancing should be just the same!

If you watch the classes every week, then by the time the concert has come, parents aren't surprised and entertained by the routines.

You can't tell how much your child has improved by watching every week, as compared to once-a-year concerts or comps.

It is scary when you have, say 15 parents watching you closely each week. It leaves no time for imagination in class, and it all has to be work, work, work otherwise the parents might get angry.

If a student just started and is not doing well since it's their first time, they don't want 15 parents staring at then. This will prevent the child/ren not to participate because all eyes are on her.

Having parents stay in the dance class is easily distracted and tends to make other students nervous. I think this is part of the reason's parents are not allowed to watch.

Having been in both situations, I would say it's better for the parents to not watch, because otherwise it makes it so much harder for the child

As far as the staff. I love that they are straight to the point. Yes, it may come off to some parents as if they are being rude but trust me, they are not. They don’t sugar coat anything. They care about what they are doing. I love that they are an actual dance school that teaches just as if they were in a classroom. The structure they provided allows the students to build character and believe in themselves. We are the biggest critics when we are looking at our children at dance. Enough to get upset because we feel they are not paying attention. This could live a big impact on your child/ren because now they don’t know who is correct you the parent or the teacher who is certified to...
