Kast Academy of the Arts

The hip hop beginning class was a fun inexpensive class the kids enjoyed. Be prepared to bring your own chair as their is only one or two chairs for all of the parents to share. They could definitely clean up a little before class starts. The classroom looks more like their back storage room. The class size ranged from 12-18 kids per class. The instructor has good energy but seems to make up her instructions as she goes. The playlist is not prepared. Or at least does not appear to be. Overall the kids have fun .

Great Environment for kids of all ages. Very Fun and Enthusiastic teachers who have a love for helping kids grow in the dance world.

Just started taking my daughter to this locally owned dance studio for the past month and I love it. It is a diverse community of families and no judgement when you walk through the door making the kids within the studio accepting, and inclusive for all dance levels. There isn't much room in the front office to sit, which is tough when you have the whole crew of family like me tagging along however, everyone is accommodating and most of the space of waiting is taken for the "dancers lounge" This room is a space for the kids/dancers waiting on a their dance class to do their homework, watch other dancers or spend time together. I love this community of acceptance and encouragement which is hard to come by these days. My eleven year old just took her first class and she was nervous as she thought she was going to be judged. The coach came out and told her that " she didn't need to worry and that all of them were there to have fun!" This put her in a different mindset and now she loves it. When you have a dance studio where young dancers and instructors encouraging everyone a like and building a sense of community this is the place to be! I am excited for my kids to flourish in this environment!

Hip Hop beginning class. If my child didn't like it so much I would of dropped out on the second class. Always seemed to be very messy, like there was a party the night before.(Every class) Each class ----there was no structure and not planed out. We were informed about a recital when we signed up. After Halloween they started practicing for the recital. With only 4 classes, I was informed the recital was in three days. No email or verbal contacts about when the recital was to be held. We had already had plans for the up coming weekend.. We ended up canceling them. Was told to show up Friday for practice. We had no idea that it would turn into Three and half hours watching them set the stage up. NO dinner this is a 4 years old. All the kids around us were hungry.I'm locked into a contract for 6 months. No wonder they lock you in. I will never bring my child to this place again.
