★★★★★Mirko GräbelWe joined via our daycare and had our very first winter dance performance at the Small Fry Dance Club. The team is phenomenal! They are super nice and accommodating for our little Threenager, who loved dancing at the show!
★★★★★Julianna IranMy daughter had been attending a music class since she was a baby. When she started being able to walk I knew I also needed to enroll her in a dance class. I enrolled her in the 18m dance class. She loved it. Not initially because she was a pandemic baby and not used to people BUT within a couple weeks, she made friends with "Teacher Jana" and the other kids in the class. We even scheduled play dates with the other kids outside of the dance class. And Teacher Jana was one of her regular prayer requests at night. Just randomly brining her up because she left an impression on her. Love Small fry dance so much!
★Mur RauStay away! I agree with the other multiple reviewers, the owner Jana is rude and unprofessional. She scolded us for coming in and renewing our CC. In fact, her own staff gave us instructions to do so otherwise they will prevent my little girl to attend the class. It is quite petty to pull a little girl out of a class for $20. Jana has zero clue about customer service and treating customers right. My little girl liked the instructor and the classes but dealing with Jana made it impossible for us to continue!! I would recommend staying away!!
★★★★★Dorothy H.Not sure where the negative reviews are coming from. We've had zero issues with the staff. In fact, they've always been professional and responsive. My daughter has been dancing for over a year here. The instructors were able to coax her out of her shell, and now she loves dancing and performing.
★★★★★Kim Dunfey SwordsWe've had a wonderful experience with Small Fry. I love that they don't take it too seriously. One other dance school we tried didn't keep my child's attention. They were too repetitive and dull. At Small Fry they keep it fun and entertaining while developing skills. The teachers have wonderful energy and are fantastic with kids. A previous review mentioned not being able to watch the class. This is not accurate. You can see the whole class from the viewing area. And most school's have a 30 day cancelation policy. That's common practice.
