June 3, 2013 Miss Sharie & Mr. Ken, Just a note to show my appreciation of the talent you employee in your studio and the performance on Saturday. You have several talented individuals you employee and should be proud of them. Although I thought the show was miss named, I believe it would have more appropriate to be called “Salute to the Staff” or maybe “Tribute to the Teachers”. When did it become the norm for an instructor to over shadow a student? Was this not a performance for the children? Are you and your instructors that insecure that we repeatedly needed to see solo acts and your staff’s participation in acts when we attended the show to appreciate the talents of our own family, or was this just a feebly preformed act to try and entice others to join your studio. You do have many talented students who provided an enjoyable afternoon and evening show, we would have liked to see more of them, and less of you. I am curious if the younger children had any instruction other than to look off stage and attempt to follow the actions of the instructors. Yes their young, but if you can’t teach them, then don’t use them as a cash source to embarrass yourself. If I would have paid for a winter of classes, I would have demanded my money back. Programs, is Office Max out of business, they will deliver before the day of the performance. It’s obvious you like the spot light and I’m sure a backpack with a light can be found to shine down on your head, but to hold the audience captive while you pat your staff and yourself on the back at the end of the show, then present a commercial, is ridiculous. This could have been great for the students, but was a great disappointment to friends and family.

I own a business and can only hope to portray myself with the zeal and professionalism that Ken and Sheri (the owners of Rock City Dance) have when I walk in the door. I have two children enrolled in their school for three years plus and will be adding a third shortly. In response to the 11/24 review: there is no favoritism, no need for elaborating, come find out for yourself. Story time: My oldest (girl) was an ok dancer when she first started, but there was no spark and I did not think she would last more than a year. This is not the case now, Sheri, Ken and all of the other wonderful instructors have created within her "the spark", which is hard to do. I played sports for a Division 1 school and my wife was in gymnastics for 10+ years in a school where if it were around today would be shut down for what we called back then "work", what they call nowadays "abuse"...lol. I feel the utmost trust and safety that Rock City Dance will not only teach my children how to dance, but how to be self-effacing when it comes to their peers.

Rock City Dance is without a doubt one of the most positive things to happen to my three daughters. After being at another studio where the girls had a negative experience we went to Rock City. The entire year we have been there has been nothing but a blast for the girls. Ken and Sheri not only offer an affordable family option but seem to really care about every single student. The focus is on learning to dance really well but within the context of an environment where people are made to feel like they are part of a whole dance community. This is all offered along with instructors that truly are outstanding at whatever dance they teach. My girls love being up at the studio and even if one of their sisters is dancing they have to go to just be a part of the environment. If you have young children who love to dance and need a great place to learn I highly reccomend Rock City Dance.

Dear Ken and Sharie, I wanted to take a moment to say Thank You, for giving my daughter the opportunity to be part of the MOB dance to promote the movie Step Up Revolution with Misha and the other amazing dancers from RCD. I think I was just as excited as she was, LOL. It is such a great feeling as a parent to watch your child have such and amazing experience with a group of fellow dancers and friends. She truly loves being part of RCD. I know that you both put a lot of time and hard work to make RCD such a great place to dance. Thank you for the time and hard work you give to our children as instructors and mentors! You have a special gift! Thanks,

The instructors are decent but the owner seems rather distant. Running the studio is second to her full time job so a lot of details go unattended (ie: administration, cleaning, etc.). My daughters class was not included in the recital. Granted it was the youngest class but theyd been involved in previous recitals so this was a disappointment. Mediocre on a good day.

I would like to mirror Jim Ks comments. The recital this year was terrible. It really was a showcase for the teachers. And I agree, there are MANY incredibly talented teachers at RCD, however, this was not their time, it was the kids, and their families. We were incredibly disappointed this year. Too bad.

We had an AMAZING personal class for my sisters bachelorette party. We did a hop-hop class, and edith was FANTASTIC, and we all LOVED her. She was fun, friendly and totally ok that we didnt know anything. All of the girls are asking me when we can do it again, and it will definitely be soon!!!

RCD is an amazing environment for dancers of all ages and styles. They took me in and the owners work well with the dancers they even do some classes with us. I love it there. They are my second home.
