Powered by GoogleWe love Funk Lab and are in our 5th year and 1st year of competition! Our Bella loves it! The teachers are incredible and simply the best. The time and effort they pour into our kiddos is unmatched and we are so thankful for the opportunities they provide. The energy, the vibe, the encouragement, the kindness, the generosity… it’s a great place to be and I wish I could give them a million stars because they truly deserve it!
We have been attending classes at Funk Lab for 12 years, both of my daughters started taking HipHop at 3 years old. The faculty is amazing with my children! They have loved all of their teachers over the years. Our friends we have made have become family. And I have enjoyed taking a few classes and workshops as an adult, including a Thriller workshop which was taught by a choreographer from Michael Jacksons THRILLER ❤️
I do not know where to begging on why Funk Lab is a 5000/5 star dance studio. From the moment you walk through their doors, you are family. The amount of classes they offer, the sister studio, Modern Elements, being only two doors down, the older dancers that not only student teach in the classes but absolutely LOVE and adore your kiddos, the office staff, and most importantly all of the amazing, loving, and caring instructors……you’re missing an amazing opportunity if you don’t at least try a class. My daughter (4) started with a very short summer class, pre HipHop, with Ms. Cortney. Instant love. Cortney has a passion I haven’t truly seen for dance and these littles. They all love her more than their own parents I think! I started the adult HipHop class and sadly had to unenroll. But Vanessa was great. We had a substitute one week, Flash, who taught us some popping and that class was a favorite for me. They also have several different teams for competition, festivals, etc. The price for classes is equal to many other studios in the area but I don’t think you’ll ever find a recital as exciting. Kelly’s attention to detail while planning the recitals is impeccable. I am truly grateful for attending a friend’s recital last year and finding a forever home for our daughter to learn and express herself. 50000/5 Just do it!
My daughter has been dancing for 10 years and this is her 5th year with Funk lab and Modern Elements. The teachers are incredible and truly inspiring. Over the years Adrianna has been in class with many of the teachers such as Kelly D, Cortney, Kelly F, Nicole, Olivia, Flash, Demarko, Bryce, Nadine, Jeanette, Mya, Layla, Nolan, Chloe, Jennifer, Richard, and they have all been incredibly supportive and amazing. They have helped Adrianna with her confidence, meet her goals and push her to goals she didn’t know she could achieve. In the center of it all is an inclusive environment where everyone including the parents feel a part of this family dynamic. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Kelly Dailey and teachers for being the best!! We truly appreciate and see the commitment you put into the studio, the kids, families and community. Grateful Adrianna is a part of this funky family!
My daughter has danced at Funk Lab for four years, it has been a wonderful experience. The teachers and choreographers are all very professional and kind. You can tell that they really care about their students. The owner has made special efforts to ensure that the studio is cleaned and sanitized after each class and I feel confident that my daughter will remain safe and healthy while taking her dance classes. EDIT 2/14/22 I wanted to add to my review! The studio owner recently began a special needs competitive dance team, and invited my 11 year old son who has autism and who struggles with gross motor activities to join. My son LOVES Miss Cortney and his dance class is the highlight of his week! This studio is wonderfully inclusive, and I can’t speak highly enough about it! EDIT 2/27/25 I wanted to give a shoutout to several of my kids’ teachers, who have continued to inspire them throughout their many years of dancing at Funk Lab: Miss Cortney: a very patient and gifted teacher. She’s excellent with special needs children Mr. Bryce: he’s also wonderful with the Performance Team (special needs dance team) and does a great job teaching in the junior advanced choreography class. Miss Diamond: she’s such a dynamic performer and a wonderful teacher. She inspires my daughter every week. Mr. Demarko: He does such a great job working with the various age levels in my daughter’s breaking class, as well as her core class. He has a tremendous amount of patience. Miss Mya: she has done such an excellent job rehearsing and cleaning my daughter’s small group, and she was a wonderful private lesson teacher, albeit briefly for my daughter when she was working on learning a specific trick.
