★★★★★Charity BridgesMy family has been a part of this studio for many years. All I can say is Ah-maz-ing! My 2 girls have been part of summer camp, rented the studio for parties, and danced their hearts out in class and on the stage! They learned technique, showmanship, time-management, how to lose gracefully and how to win with humility and zeal! We have met lifelong friends through this studio. I can’t say enough about how my girls have grown through their experiences. As with my youngest, many of the dancers go on to dance on college teams and beyond. If you want great training in an atmosphere that cares about the children, this is the place!
★★★★★Dana SheriffeMy daughter is enjoying her second year of recreational classes at Zeal for Life. The instructors are kind and talented, and last year's recital was everything!
★★★★★Adrian BakerMy daughter has been at ZFL for nearly a year and it's all she talks about! Professionalism is great and the do such a wonderful job with the kids. I would highly recommend ZFL!
★★★★★Deidre Boyd BakerZeal for Life has been a positive experience for myself and child. My daughter loves Ms. Danielle and the other staff. She comes home showing me a new technique she's learned each week. She's currently participating in the Summer Camp sessions and is looking forward to the next set of dance sessions. I feel like it's an awesome dance studio. Very affordable and professional.
★Rashana AndersonRegretfully, I had an unfortunate experience with ZEAL FOR LIFE DANCE COMPANY. After paying over $650 in tuition fees + $200 in recital/costume fees, my child was denied her opportunity to participate in the end-of-year recital (that had to be rescheduled due to Covid-19) unless I agreed to re-register for another year. My daughter had fulfilled her commitment to classes for 10 months, therefore provisions could and should have been made for her participation in the postponed recital. Not allowing her to participate and refusing to refund the recital fee was a breach of contract. Shameful! I firmly believe requiring another year's registration was ZFL's way of playing on the emotions of young girls who had their heart set on performing in a recital to get more money. AND, after countless emails/calls/texts, we finally received a balled-up, ill-fitting, damaged costume just yesterday? Not on a hanger, not in a bag, hot-glued crystals missing and falling off ... unprofessional, horrible customer service. Parents Beware! Even after you pay a recital and costume fee, you are NOT guaranteed a recital. I hope no one ever has to go through what we did.
