Katelyn Gustin: We have had 3 children in classes at pulse and miss kayla has always been great with them knowing what all theyve been through. We now only have 1 child in classes and shes on competition team. She is always so excited to go to class and loves it when miss kayla gets really into it and acts like a kid with the students! Personally i absolutely love miss kayla and the way she had always been with our girls as well as keeping up with the highlights of our family!

Stephanie Moses: With dance studios, it's all about finding a place that has dance in their blood. At Pulse, that is without a doubt, the case. It is also important that you feel a positive connection between fun, and structure. To get the most out of your experience with a studio, it is vital, you find a balance of the two. That is Pulse Dance and Performance Center. Not only does the instructor have years of experience, her love for teaching dance, is her passion. This small business is the future. Support your locally owned establishments. It is the greatest decision you will ever make. Enroll your children today.

kara Stephens: Love the place and the owner! Will definitely bring my own kids here when I have some of my own!!

So many amazing experiences in my life I am able to thank this dance studio for. The continuous growth and evolvement I experience by walking through the studio's doors day in and day out will continue to lead me right back to this place I can call home.

Tassica Yambor: I love it so much At Kmoniques!!!

Taylor Hoffelder: I've been going to K. Monique's Zumba classes for over a year and it is the place to be! Always fun and with no judgment! If you have ever thought about trying a class JUST DO IT!

Cindy Koogler: Love this studio!!! The owners and staff not only do a great job of preparing their students for competition, they really take the time to focus on great technique, flexibility and life skills. K'monique goes beyond competition, but creating bonds that will last a lifetime!

Lisa Oleary-Tessier: My daughters would never dance anywhere else. Such a positive and productive environment!

Laura Townsend: This is my daughter's second year at the studio by first year of company. She loves it and has learned so much in a short period of time. The instructors really care about their students and it feels like they are family to my daughter. They push her to be the best she can be and that hard work is the only way to succeed. I highly recommend K Moniques to anyone who is looking for a new studio.

Kristin Pine: My daughter has danced at K. Monique's for six years and we could not be happier with the training she has received, but more importantly is the love and encouragement she is shown daily from the instructors here! It truly is a family and we love it! Ella has developed a bond with the girls at the studio that will last a lifetime. Thank you Kristin, Cassi, and Bradi for all the love and direction you have shown Ella. I can't wait to see what the future holds!

Jennifer Ford: I love love love this place! It has changed my life for the better! Zumba is a fun way to exercise! The instructors are awesome and have taught me some moves! Lol! I highly recommend K Moniques!

Michelle Brown: This is my favorite place to do zumba! They have classes 6 days a week, something for every schedule. You will get a total body workout here. You don't need to know how to dance to do zumba, it is great cardio. Kristin, the owner, truly cares about your fitness. The entire staff here just rocks.

Latrice Banks Hinton: I love KMSOD and the entire KMSOD studio family! It's the only place in town that offers quality and challenging child AND adult classes. Also, I've experienced many Zumba classes in town and they have THE BEST Zumba classes hands down. There is no comparison and you will never be bored. I guarantee it!

krysta young: If you like Zumba I promise Kmoniques is the best in Fort Wayne and probably all of Indiana. Try the Zumba toning too, it's a seriously amazing workout!

Stacy Odom: Love their Zumba classes!!

Richard Pankop: My two young granddaughters recently experienced their first Dance Camp here.They had so much fun and learned multiple dances in a very short time. Not only were they taught by a dance master, they met and interacted with a Radio City Music Hall Rockette, a former student of The Fort Wayne School of Dance, which has a rich history in the art of dance. If you want to learn to dance , this is The Dance Studio for you!

Layla Dennis: love ms becky ! she’s a great teacher and amazing with the kids

Kathryn Goodman: My daughter absolutely adored taking classes at Fort Wayne School of Dance this last fall. Staff go above and beyond to make each dancers experience a memorable one! We look forward to many many more seasons at FWSD!

Krista Gordon: This is the first activity that my daughter has stuck with and wanted to continue with. I strongly believe it is because of the wonderful direction of Becky! My daughter absolutely loves her! We will be returning next session!

Madison Dietsch: I have taken 2 adult classes and loved both of them! It's a fun and easy way to get up and stretch/exercise. No experience needed! 💜💜

Sue Griggs: Fort Wayne School of Dance has exceeded my expectations! The two classes I have taken have been well taught and very fun. Instruction has been personal even in the group setting of many. Instructors seem to enjoy teaching, are professional and are exceptionally experienced. My granddaughter is also enjoying her tap and ballet class. We are excited for her upcoming recital! Thank you Fort Wayne School of Dance!

Leah Capito: Best studio in Fort Wayne!

Lisa Gustin: I can not recommend Starz Dance Academy enough or say enough kind words about their amazing staff! The teachers and owners are all incredible and care about each student! My daughter has been dancing there since she was three and has had so many amazing experiences and opportunities! If you are looking for an incredible place to dance, I definitely recommend Starz Dance Academy!

macy mayden: i started at starz when i was only two years old and i just graduated this year. i grew up in this place and when i tell you they deeply and truly care for their students, they do. i had some of the worst days of my life and i would go to dance and just end the night on such a high note. no organization is absolutely 100% perfect but that’s why i loved starz. i was able to express my emotions and feelings DIRECTLY with the owner and i knew she would dare and do everything she could to fix it. deb would do anything for anyone in that studio and the people who are comparing don’t know and love Deb the way I do. she has been though every up and down with me and I know she would have done everything to help me. I trusted her with everything. And the same goes for every teacher I’ve had at the studio. I know they lived and cared for me and even if we had some teachers who weren’t as professional as everyone else, I know the ones who wanted to be there would fight for me and make sure I knew everything. i still go back and see everyone because it was my safe place for so long. Even as a graduate, starz will always have a place in my heart for showing me how much one studio can change your life. i am now on trine university’s dance team and i have starz to thank for that. for always pushing me and making sure I auditioned. i know from the bottom of my heart they care and I made some of the best relationships in that building. thank you starz

Catarina Phillips: I had the pleasure of teaching at Starz for several years before I moved out of state. I miss it very much and know that I will never work under someone as caring and devoted as Deb Thompson the owner again. The long hours and dedication she pours into her work is beyond inspiring. A very positive role model for both young girls and the women that work for her.

Hillary Peters: My daughter did ballet at Stars and gymnastics at Gymnastics in motion through the Fort Wayne Rec Department. She loved it. I love it. The instructors are very good and patient with the kids. All the kids learned so much each week. We definitely will be doing more dance and gymnastics with them!

Laurie Schaeffer: My niece has danced at Starz for almost her entire life, and the management and teachers have all helped her to develop into the beautiful young confident girl that she has become. The friendships she has made along with the guidance and support her teachers have given her to thrive in this platform has been a pleasure to watch.Keep up the great work Starz, you are giving young girls and boys the confidence and drive to achieve anything they put their mind to.

Olivia York: A very toxic environment, not worth putting time and money into. Would NOT recommend this place to anyone.

CAYCEES. VLOGS: the best dance company. great workers and so respectful. i went there for dance and gymnastics for 4 years.

Ava DeFay: Grew up in this gym and love it.

Kylie Knuth: There is way to much drama for this to be a professional work environment

Anna Lopez-Overmyer: Horrible place.

Ericka Lopez: Unprofessional environment.

Brittney Defay: I’ve sent my children here for dance, and they also attended the gymnastics and preschool here. Every interaction I’ve had with staff has always been pleasant, but especially in the dance studio. I grew up doing competitive dance and am pleased with the instructors skill and the way they manage their classes. Unfortunately we had a minor issue with another student, but when we brought it to the director’s attention, it was handled immediately and appropriately. HIGHLY recommend.

Gabe Rhodes: The entire staff are incredible! They are super friendly and caring. The kids love going there and learn so much. I can’t imagine sending the kiddos anywhere else! 10/10!

Sarina Wright: While I’m grateful for a few people I have met at Starz, my overall experience was awful. They do not care about their students unless you are like their puppet, and even that doesn’t get you much. Instructors are not properly trained and if they were they no longer care. They drove out one of their best teachers and anyone they don’t like by bullying them into no longer having a passion for dance. When you express concerns they blame you and take no responsibility. I think it’s sad to think I was being talked about behind my back by the owner and the director, even to other students. A dancer should love to dance, and at Starz they take that passion away from their students. They don’t want the best for their students, they have never cared and never will. The studio is full of petty drama, most of it coming from full grown adults. They also seem to show no care for self privacy, and will make comments often about students bodies. The director and owner seem to reflect their own insecurities onto their students no matter what it be. If anyone was considering this place, my recommendation would be an automatic no. Yes love all the added reviews after mine. Thank you for sharing how my review hurt you guys, while invalidating my feelings over and over again after reaching out. Goes to show you still won’t take accountability for your actions.

Christina Timms: 12 years of our lives were spent at Gymnastics in Motion, Starz Dance Academy, and LNL preschool. We moved 2 years ago, and this part of our life in Indiana is what we all miss the most. The love and confidence-building our kids experienced behind those walls is hard to find any where else. I will always and forever recommend Gymnastics in Motion, Starz Dance Academy, and LNL Preschool to everyone I know!

Teresa Rhodes: Watching my grandkids grow and learn to dance at this studio has been such a delight. Between practices and performances there are smiles all around! Definitely recommend!

Megan Flesher: Danced here for 13 years and loved it!!!

Hector Vargas: My kids loved it here. We only left because we moved, but they still talk about dance classes here. Highly recommend.

Sarah Vargas: Starz Dance Academy has been like a home away from home for my children. Between the preschool, gymnastics gym, and Starz Dance Studio with my multiple children, I have spent enough time here to recognize both the care and passion the staff here possess for their craft. Skills, from well-qualified instructors, are built along with motivation, and self confidence in our little ones and older students alike. The environment is safe and nurturing. My children have been inspired by the kindness from every instructor they've encountered here. Their community involvement is unparalleled with performances around the city, giving all of the students multiple chances to showcase their talent. Festival of Trees downtown Fort Wayne for example, and even annual performances at Disney!! The dress code and costumes for performances are modest and inclusive to all body types. In addition to the self-confidence instilled in students by their instructors through both affirmation and encouragement, you can be sure that self-esteem is built here, not destroyed. The competitive atmosphere is present in the companies for older students to promote hard-work and feeling of accomplishment, but not at the expense of their emotional well-being. This studio cultivates talent, provides a safe learning environment, promotes inclusivity, and to the most basic point genuinely care about every student who walks in their door, from beginner students to company. I would recommend this studio 100% time and time again.

Taylor Whiteside: Starz is a loving community with amazing teachers and staff that will put these kids first. All businesses will have up and downs but they try to put an amazing experience for the kids first. Since I started dancing there they have opened so many opportunities for us in dance and in meeting so many amazing people.

Cinamon Donley: My daughter absolutely loves dancing at Pure Dance. They provide excellent instruction in a comfortable yet inspiring environment. We enjoy the recitals and watching my daughter progress.

Darcy Garza: The instructor is always prepared and organized. The class is so well structured and Miss Paige does a GREAT job keeping the kids moving at all times. My husband and I were both very impressed and chose to enroll our daughter for another session.

Ryan Burnsworth: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI have 3 daughters that attend classes and love it! They are proud to show their new dance moves, the activity work they done and they really love having their new friends. The teachers are wonderful to work with for parents and the kids. We are extremely pleased with our choice to put our daughters in Pure Dance Works.

Alexandra Gatzimos Reed: My daughter and I love Pure Dance Works. The teachers are so patient and it's the prefect first experience for my two year old to be in a teaching environment with other kids. The baby classes are based more around fun and imagination while subtly teaching taking turns, following instructions, and sharing. 10/10

Katie Skeens: We love Pure Dance Works! They are always loving and kind. Pure Dance keeps you updated each week with what’s going on! They are very well organized. We love Pure Dance Works!

McKayla Dafoe: Pure Dance Works is amazing! My daughter is about to complete her second season and it has been so much fun. She loves to go, enjoys her teacher and classmates, and has developed so much confidence in the class.

Cecilia Bohde: I would recommend Pure Dance Works because it socialized my daughter to not only kids her age, but up to 2 years older. She has benefitted from this social interaction considering she doesn’t attend daycare. I’m glad that she got to experience others her age, and learn and explore new things with her Dewdrop friends. She has also learned a lot from being in Dewdrop. She can now sort colors, identify colors, and walk on her tiptoes. Pure Dance Works is 5/5 for us, no doubt. :)

Christina Johnson: My daughter absolutely loved the summer program. She enjoyed making the crafts in addition to the dance portion. She still talks about “Adventure Island.” Will do again next year.

Paula McKillip: My daughter absolutely loved the summer dance program!

Tahnee Plank: Daughter loves going here, loves making crafts in class. However, a few issues. The first is when I drop off, my husband pick ups. You're not supposed to stay in the waiting room unless it's your alternating week, and the waiting area does fill up. Not a problem, but when my husband went to pick up he went in and grabbed her and no one stopped him or questioned him to make sure she was supposed to go with him. Teachers go right into next class so there's no one to verify who picks up who. Another issue was for arts in crafts in the ballet class they made bracelets out of pipe wire. Not sure who approved this idea for girls in tights. When I picked up my daughter it had cut through her leotard and cut her leg. When I went back into dance class the following week I asked for a replacement. Then the girl tried to charge me for it. When I went over that it happened from wire bracelets they gave her she said what happens in class is out of their control. You have to leave you child with them and they're telling me what happens in class is out of their control. Very unprofessional way to handle the situation. She was very short and rude with me after that. I asked to speak with someone in charge, the young girl in the front told me she could message her but she would just tell her the same thing. I asked if there was a direct number to call her and she picked up the phone and said it'll just ring here, not the number I asked for at all, she was being very facetious about the situation. It's not the end of the world but something she's making in ballet class shouldn't be cutting her legs and uniform. She did message someone in charge and they gave me a free leopard to replace. My child had already gone into class with the ripped leotard so it was too late. Her teacher also told her to tape it when she was in class. I feel like there's some safety issues company should address from no adults insuring a parent is picking up child, to my daughters leg being cut in class without anyone caring and shrugging it off.In response to your comment:Thank you Tina for reaching out. Of course a dance studio is not a retail store. I was bothered by receptions comment that what happens in dance class is out of your control. I didn't know you have used pipe cleaners for crafts for girls in tights for years. I was assured that that wasn't normal and that they wouldn't be used again because it also cut my daughters leg. Not sure either why a dance class is making bracelets, and other arts and crafts during class time. How about a simple solution of using plastic bracelet bands instead of wire that cuts childrens legs and tights. Sounds like this experience has no effect on how things will be done in the future. Im not sure why I had to fight for a replacement when the school gave her the tools to cut her leotards and legs. If this was done outside of dance class, then of course we would be responsible for them.Also, they absolutely do not oversee who picks up. As on the first day I dropped off and my husband has picked her up and hadn't been there before. They barely knew my daughter and didn't stop to ask my husband his name or hers. I have never met her teacher and the young girl behind the desk either stays put or is helping others during pick up. I know it's a lot going on. I know someone would have to know location and dance times. I know it's a very packed room at pick up. But there's potential for many people to know this, and I think more diligence at pick up would be safer since we are dropping off our children and aren't always allowed or able to stay in the waiting room for them. Thanks again for making your views on child safety clear.

Sheila Gillett: The name says it all! Our daughter has attended classes at Pure Dance Works for 9 years! This past year she was also trained to help assist the teachers in some of the classes. She is loved, protected, professionally instructed, and encouraged to stretch her knowledge of dance as well as be challenged to grow physically, socially, and emotionally. The studio encourages dancer modesty and is taught in a safe environment where dancers make life-long friendships while also learning how they can have a positive impact on everyone around them. Communication between the studio and parents is absolutely superb!! Can’t wait to see what’s in store for the upcoming year!

Charlene Gerber: Very kind and professional. A little lacking in diversity, but overall a clean and good place for children to join a dance class. Madelyn is a warmhearted and patient dance teacher, and my daughter speaks very highly of her.

Jenn S: I have been bringing my granddaughter here for the past year and we love it. She is 3 years old and I like the positive, encouraging, environment she is in. This is the time to be building our children up and here at PureDanceWorks the teachers are doing just that - helping build confidence in our young ones! The class size ratio is great - for this year its been about 5-7 students to 2 teachers. Not sure of all class sizes however this was for the Sparkle 3. Being constantly on the go, I like that the costumes along with practice wear is all included in one monthly cost! We will be coming back next year!

Rachel Kennedy: My daughter is in the Dewdrop dance class at Pure Dance Works. The Dewdrop program is for kids age 18-36 months old; it's tailored for the little ones in a way that's imaginative and fun. It has been wonderful watching her learn and grow in the classroom. Her listening skills have improved and she is learning how to socialize, take turns, and share. She loves going to class, and so do I. It's been a great way for me to spend time and bond with my daughter.

Julie Amstutz: We love pure dance works! My 6 year old loves going to dance and performing at the recitals At Christmas and spring.

sarah smith: This is the sweetest dance studio!! My daughter loves going and has learned so much. They teach skills that apply to life outside of dance as well, I highly recommend!

Ashley Leonard: My daughter loves her ballet class! She looks forward to it every week and is always showing me new things she learned in class.Pure Dance Works is a very safe and comforting environment for little ones! As a parent you are always informed on what to expect each week in the studio. I would recommend Miss Tiina and her staff to anyone.

DANIELLA DELREAL: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueIs the best place to ours dancers.

zack russell: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueBoth of my girls love this place, I could not have chose any better dance studio. The staff is wonderful and would recommend to anyone who is wanting to sign their child up for dance classes.

Kristina Casselman: Positive:ProfessionalismThe only thing that I would like to see changed is their safety regulations after they dismiss the children from class. I've watched as children step outside to look for their parent without an adult accompanying them.
