Impact Performing Arts is fully devoted to providing dancers of all ages an encouraging environment where they are given the opportunity to grow and excel in their dance education. We strive to deliver the highest quality of dance training, while nurturing each student's unique gift of talent and creativity.
We offer a variety of classes for ages ranging from 5 to 18. Our classes are categorized by both age group and skill level. Classes marked in red on our schedule, indicate that teacher permission is required in order to take these classes. Impact Performing Arts requires a dress code, which differs depending on which class(es) you are enrolled in.
Impact's competitive team, DanceWorx, is comprised of 4 teams, broken out by age group and level. Students who wish to take their dancing to the next level are given the opportunity to grow and develop their performance skills through competition. Competition allows the dancer to perform more frequently and teaches them the importance of thriving under pressure, working together as a team and honing their craft.

Impact performing arts is an amazing place to dance. I've only been dancing here for a year and its been great! I already feel like I've improved a lot and it's a great experience. I highly recommend trying out for their team, danceworx because it's a good opportunity to make new friends and become a great dancer and they go to competitions which is fun. the students here are really nice and if you're a new student, they will make you fit in, unlike a lot of other dance schools that seem to exclude new dancers. the staff and teachers are really good and nice and push you

I danced at Impact all throughout high school and was on the team for a year. Tiffany was my instructor and she now owns the studio which makes me so happy because she is fantastic!! We were all a family and a lot of the same people still work there. The new location is so nice, and they now offer adult classes which I will be starting next week! I can't wait to dance again, and I know Impact will not disappoint.

I would give this place a zero as well if I could!!!!
I signed up my daughter after going to their open house few months ago. The class I signed her up got canceled due to very little signups. Then we had my daughter try two other classes, of which it was not appropriate for her age, she still went. But the instructors didn't do a good job in having her in the class. Instead said she is not a good fit for the class. So I called the manager/owner more than 4 times to get my refund, it almost May now and no one has called me to give me refund or address my issues. Everyone there is so rude

Warm, inviting, and dedicated staff. Fantastic owner, who works super hard to make sure that every dancer gets attention in learning and perfecting dance technique. The variety of dance instruction options and professional quality of rehearsals are wonderful, but I'm even more impressed with the welcoming, family-like environment that my daughter has enjoyed since joining the studio a couple of months ago.

I'd give this business zero star if I could. We signed up a week of dance summer camp for our daughter for the week of 8-13 to 8-17. Today we went there and the place is closed. Their website says they are moving to a new location but doesn't say where. Their phone is out of service. We turned in the registration form and payed back in June. There is no email, mail, phone call if they know they are moving. I don't know if I will ever get my refund back since there is no way to get a hold of them.

Today is a beautiful day so I was sitting outside on the "welcoming" front porch. Five minutes passed when a rude women came out holding a cake and said only, "we need this space!" and, before I could blink, proceeded to place her things at the table, followed by a group of excited young dancers...Seeing that a party was about to take place, I just stood up immediately, said nothing, and simply walked away. So, I never made it inside to sign up for class. Therefore I can't comment on the quality of instruction here..just the atmospherics.
Upon reflection, I guess I could

I am sad to write this because I really wanted this place to work out for my child. I am only giving 1 star not because of how this went for my child...I am realistic and she is only 4 but because of how I felt I was treated.
I called and asked about singing lessons for my 4 year old. I know this is very young but I have never had any of my children come up to me and say, "Mom, I want to ?" and my daughter had asked so I tried to deliver. When I called about my daughter they told me we could try a free intro class and see how it goes. We had to reschedule once but since we had to change
