★Mick MelocheckWould not recommend this dance company. You’re forced in to your child performing at their shows. They charge you a “performance fee” for the venue but when it’s canceled they don’t give you your money back. They don’t allow you to unenroll your child. Instead their staff must “approve” that you unenroll your child. At their performances, they keep your child even after their portion of the show is complete. Yup nothing weird with strangers holding your child in a room for hours and you can’t see them or talk to them.
★★★★★victoria persephoneThis is a fantastic studio with professional quality rooms and strong staff. The youth company is well trained and was easy to work with while I set a new performance piece with them. Definitely a great choice for serious students.
★★★★★Tiffany BogardusMy 4-year old daughter danced here and had a great experience! The teachers and staff were very friendly and she loved her Barbie ballet class. We moved to another state before the recital but they were still kind enough to ship my daughter her costume and a few other end of year items after the show was over. Would definitely recommend!!
★★★★★Hannah WehlerMy daughter takes classes at greater York dance! She’s 3 and we absolutely love it! Miss Niki and Allison are AMAZING! So good with the kids and I feel like my 3 year old improves so much every week! If you’re looking for a good trustworthy place for your child GYD is it!!❤️
★★★★★Alyson WeaverThis has been our first year with Greater York Dance and we could not be more impressed! The level of attention and detail at this studio is unmatched. We were on the hunt to find a supportive, yet structured environment for our daughters and have found the perfect place at Greater York. The teachers are kind, professional, and extremely talented. Not only have our daughters learned an incredible amount this year, but they have had fun in the process. They love it so much I think they would live at the studio if given the chance! Thank you to Lori and team for creating such a wonderful place to thrive. If you are looking for a true performance and student-centered place, please come check it out!
