We took a hip hop class here this year, along with ballet and tap. Our hip hop teacher was routinely late (up to 30 minutes for a 1 hour class), and eventually quit with no notice. Before he quit, he taught no actual steps or technique to the kids, instead just filling the class time with games. Instead of the studio giving us a replacement teacher, a high school senior was our substitute instructor. The company never offered any refund or discount for this subpar service. When you go to the studio, children run around screaming in the hallways with no supervision. The ballet and tap instruction on the recreational level is almost nonexistent. None of the kids can point their toes or execute a turn-out. You see almost no evidence of even knowing the basic ballet positions. Ballet performances at the end of the year are essentially lyrical performances, with a few poorly executed ballet steps sprinkled in between. Tap performances consist of the kids turning around and shaking their booties at the audience, with one or two shuffle-hop-steps thrown in. Throughout the year there are numerous charges placed on you, for recital fees, recital tickets, and costume fees. This would be fine if the fees were clearly stated on the website, or the schedule was given ahead of time. On top of all this, once you finally reach the recital, rehearsals are conducted during work hours, and youre charged for things as simple as a program. Want to know when your childs dance is, so you can go back stage and help them change? Be prepared to pony up that final $12. The whole studio is completely uninterested in actual instruction. The recreational classes exist solely to help fund the competition teams. Save yourself the headache and find a studio thats actually interested in teaching every child.

I am a single father of two little girls, active duty army at fort campbell and my girls have been enrolled in classes for years and we all love this place. The staff has treated my girls like family and without their mother in the picture its a major help both to me and the kids to have such wonderful influences. Both of my girls want to just like their teachers, graceful and kind and filled with the joy of dance. Its about the only thing that I dont have to hurry them up to get ready for. Dance days I find them dressed and ready to go to class before I wake up to get breakfast ready. The time they spend at dance is just right for me to run weekly errands do the food shopping and it tires them out just enough so the rest of our day is spent stress free. Now recital events are also amazing you could never imagine children being so coordinated and serious about anything but trust me, show must go on. Dance has made my girls disciplined and outgoing and has given them positive competitive spirit. If your looking for a great extra curricular activity or a replacement for couch potato baby sitters you need to bring your children to The Dance Force of Clarksville. I cant say enough about the staff, the classes and how much my girls love it! Two Thumbs Up! Russell Kaiser

Worst experience ever. Signed my daughter up for one of their classes. It was an 1 hour class. 1/2 for ballet and the other 1/2 for tap dancing. But what we got was 20 min of streching, 15 min of the kids running around,5-10 minutes for the teacher to figure out on a piece of paper what she was teaching and then the rest for dancing. By the 3rd time. My 4year old daughter didnt want to go in anymore cause she said its more for playing and not dancing. So there went $160.00 in the trash. Would not recommend.

We joined the Dance Force seven years ago. I can not say enough great things about the Dance Force. The owners are amazing, they listen to your concerns and let you know where your child should be and what classess you need to take to get them there. We love the staff as welll. It is not just a great place to take Dance Classes, it is a great place to become part of a wonderful FAMILY.
