★★★★★kx uedaWe love Melinas for our daughters! This is our 3rd season for our eldest and she is always excited to go to her classes and of course looking forward to the big show at the end of the season!
★★★★★Letty UribeFirst time watching my twin granddaughters in their ballet class! I was visiting from Texas and wanted to see how the girls were enjoying it. I truly appreciated that the staff allowed me to watch for a bit. It was wonderful to see how the dance teachers make learning fun and engaging for the girls. I can’t wait to see them perform at their recital! 💕🩰
★★★★★Zoe MattixI have been dancing at Melina’s Dance Company for 11 years, and I have had the best experience ever here. I love the atmosphere of the studio, and the inclusivity of MDC. The teachers are amazing and give great corrections, and I have made so many new friends here. I love company here, and then events we go to. Performances are super fun and exciting!! Thank you Melina’s!!
★★★★Jewel Edwards-AshmanWe just completed our first year at Melina's (enrolled my 4 y/o going on 5). We recently moved to a different part of town, but I am considering keeping her in this studio for at least another year to provide a feeling of stability for my daughter. She really enjoyed her experience at Melina's and -- as a former dancer in my childhood --I was relieved that my daughter had such a positive experience. It's a non-competitive atmosphere, which I think is great for little kids just starting out, and trying new things. Overall, I've found this to be a safe, positive and happy school for tiny dancers. Something that could improve: This studio prefers to rely heavily on an emailed newsletter and their (frequently updated) website. As a communications professional, I can appreciate that I can at least go there, because I don't think anyone is manning the phones regularly and there's hardly any time to discuss anything in-depth during drop off or pick up. The staff/faculty is young (mostly former recent students from what I could tell), so they may not be used to providing customer service or interacting with the adult parents of the kids they teach. More face-to-face (or even phone) conversations with the parents would be appreciated. Sometimes when I would drop my daughter off, there was an adult (older than the teacher) at the front desk, who I was sometimes pose a question to, and I think this adult was just a volunteer, who didn't seem to have the inside info.
★★★★★Allison BagotWe’ve had a great experience at Melina’s. We started here because of its convenience to our home, doing summer camps for our oldest daughter and moving into regular sessions as she got old enough. She loves her classes, teachers and friends. We love the topical themed camps and classes, Taylor Swift camp right when my daughter began her obsession with Taylor and upcoming a Wicked musical theater. I’m always more than happy to get her involved with something I know she will be excited for. I would highly recommend Melina’s.
