Dance Dimensions By Jen Naso

01/15/2008 Posted by coolbear5

My daughter has taken dance classes at Dance Dimensions for 4 years now. She moved over from another studio to have different teachers & experience. She has really enjoyed the studio. I think the recitals are wonderful - they feature all ages & don't over emphasize the dance teams or teachers. We leave the recital at a reasonable time - not too late for little ones either. My daughter had Jen Naso as a teacher at her other studio & when she was ready for a change she picked Jen's studio. My daugher has taken dance since she was 3 & this is her last year. I will miss the recitals & the costumes. Costumes are reasonaby priced & last year my daughter didn't have to buy a costume. They only had to have red & black outfits. She was able to buy pieces that she could wear everyday. She has had a great experience at Dance Dimensions & I am happy with the studio too.

Pros: great teachers, wonderful recitals

Cons: none

Dance Dimensions by Jen Naso is an excellent dance studio that offers a program for every level of dancer from young students to teens. I am speaking from experience as my daughter danced at the studio from 5th through 12th grade. From the moment she began her dance training with Jen and other very capable dance teachers I knew she was in good hands. Also, she has been dancing since about age 4 and I know she learned the most at this studio. She went from a few classes per week to being on the performing companies. I believe the entire time she and I were treated with respect and the studio has a very family oriented feel as Jen's mom and sister are very involved. I know Jen and the other teachers love what they do and it shows through the way they treat their students. I believe that whether you are a part of the very active performing companies or a student that only takes one class per week you get fair, honest treatment and excellent training. Jen and her staff maintain a high level of professionalism. Although Dance Dimensions has become a fairly large studio, if you take time to get to know Jen and her staff, you will not be disappointed with your choice. Do be prepared to get to the studio early on registration day as that is the best way to get into the classes you desire.

Pros: Great teachers, fun classes, good variety, fair and honest feedback

Cons: Parking can be a little tight.

My daughter has attended this studio for the past 9 years. They are VERY strong in all forms of dance. Instructors are key to the success of this studio. Registration begins in May and is first come first served. Some classes do fill up quickly which means two things; they limit class sizes and they care about the quality of education your child receives. Some of the classes also have student helpers to make sure all children get special attention. They have an award winning dance team, however that is not the main focus of the studio. The entire staff is warm and friendly, encouraging all students to their full potential. The costumes are reasonably priced. Year end recitals leave you wanting more. I have been to many recitals where the dancers don't smile and you wait impatiently in the dark for the next number. Most of the numbers here are interwoven and move along quickly. The dancers are smiling and clearly enjoying showing what they have learned. The price is good and they have a cut off when you take a certain amount of classes. I would recommend this studio to anyone wanting a positive dance experience for their child.

Pros: location, price

As a mother of 3 girls, we have tried many dance studios and found this studio to be one of the better values in town. The price is very good and they have a few highly qualified intructors. They produce a very good year-end recital and they have an award-winning dance team. The studio is extremely popular and fall registration starts as early as May; even then, you may find yourself waiting in a long line only to be closed out of the best classes. This studio is very strong in jazz and tap. The ballet is fairly good, and the acro is not very advanced. Unfortunately, the students here are not very welcoming to newcomers and are rather competitive. The instructors tend to teach towards the dance team members and are not very concerned about the other students. The recitals are very good but tend to run long and are filled with "dance team" and "teacher" numbers. If you want your child to get the best training that this studio can offer, then you must become part of the dance team; otherwise, a child just taking a recreational dance class could become discouraged here.

Pros: Great Price

Cons: Too focused on dance team
