Seems like a pretty decent place. I don't know much about ballet. The restroom seemed clean. Is $50 per month too much to meet once each week for almost an hour?

Absolutely fantastic studio! The director and teachers are top notch and are always trying exciting new things. I've always found the environment to be positive, supportive and inclusive - which you don't often find at other dance studios . . . Highly recommended!

Our daughters love taking classes from Bates Dance Studio! They offer a wide variety of classes at many different levels. The staff are caring, knowledgeable and professional. My daughters have learned dance technique as well as many life skills and lessons. My shy girl who started dancing at Bates when she was four has grown into a beautiful young lady and has gained much confidence and grace which is reflected not only on stage while she dances but has also carried over into other areas of her life. We highly recommend Bates Dance Studio for a well rounded dance experience!

We love everything about Bates Dance Studios! Our daughter has taken dance here for going on 4 years and not only LOVES it, her growth in her dance skills and abilities has been amazing to watch! The teachers couldn't be better and truly care about the kids. The staff is both professional and personable and the studio is run with integrity and intentionality.

If you want your children to be in over crowded dance classes learning only a dance routine. Please. Send them here. There are not a lot of options in that area so i cant say as if you will find anything better. The local community center taught better technique and the classes were smaller although it was all entree level dancing. Its discouraging when you come from a place that has your kid at a ballet bar and can tell you all of the ballet terminology and you come to another and they treat them like cattle. So glad to have landed somewhere where our dancer is growing again. The instructors here

My daughter loves dancing at BDS and loves her teachers. One thing that I love is the teachers really work with the dancers to be the best they can be and they do their best to help the dancers reach their goals. If you need help they are willing to help you. I also appreciate them challenging my daughter to be the best she can be, we moved here 2 yrs ago and she has danced most of her life, I have seen her grow more now and learn more because of the opportunities and efforts the teachers give to her and the dancers. We are happy and very pleased with this studio and their teachers.

Not only is the staff friendly, they are willing to work with you if something should come up. My family has been attacked by the respiratory illnesses going around for pratically 2 months. When you have children in daycare and school, it's obvious it will cycle. So it finally caught up with me. Not only is Mindy wonderful, she communicated promptly with me, showed empathy and supports a busy mom's schedule. Thanks so much Bates Dance Studio & Staff for your patience, kindness and understanding! I hope in the future, BSD will be able to take payments over the phone...but until then, they work with
