MEM Dance Theatre — Local services in Sterling

I was treated poorly here for years, 5 years I committed my life here. Day and night I was in the studio, recently I was treated horribly and was kicked out. I was extremely sad they did not take in to account my feelings, as this was my dream I have not danced since and do not plan on it, My parents repeatedly asked for forgiveness and stated how sad I was. I cried for days. Due to my time there I was still treated horribly, they do not appreciate their students and only care about the staff. I was bullied there and no one did anything, a students mom put there hands on me and I had left the rehearsal crying. I danced many days a week and many hours. I was in multiple dances and in center. I had put my dream in their hands in they crushed it. My parents were told different stories, the dance teachers told my business to all their students. I was a example, they are completely unorganized and unreasonable. They called me a liar even though they knew the truth, and act like the victims in situations. They do not respect the people that are giving them money and keeping their business running, they did not teach me any tricks I knew I taught myself everything. They are always giving excuses, and are always late to class, My parents payed $900 a month and I was barley taught anything. Their prices are unreasonable and ridiculous, even though my parents payed so much I was still treated horribly. I do not recommend this dance studio to...

The facility is nice and they offer a wide variety of classes at good prices. It will work for you and your family as long as you don't want to be involved or see what they work on. When they are young, parents got to stay and sit in the room to watch them develop skills and learn their routine. Now that my daughter is 6, it is a drop and go home situation. The kids run amuck since the parents aren't there and although the staff claims they are there to watch them, they don't. They also tell you they will let you watch via skype once a month but then either start it late, don't let you in or just completely forget. Once asked about it, they provide an excuse and "will do it next week" but then the next week, same issue. Now that the recital is coming up, and they want to make sure parents buy tickets, they have stopped the skype all together. My daughters coach has been late several times so other staff play games with them until she arrives which is not what we pay for. It has been a real decline since the new ownership took over. When you ask questions, they give short answers if they give one at all. It seems anything other than giving them a payment...

I can't say enough great things about MEM dance theater! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warmth, professionalism, and a genuine passion for dance. The instructors are not only incredibly talented but also patient, encouraging, and committed to helping every student grow — no matter their age or experience level. The classes are fun, and challenging in the best way. I've seen such a transformation in both my daughter’s technique and confidence.
