We appreciate all the staff and instructors at AFDS. Everyone is friendly, professional and accommodating. Our daughter has taken ballet and tap lessons for nearly three years and has enjoyed it immensely--shell be five this year. We just added an acro/tumbling class and she is having so much fun. We are truly impressed with the level of education and attention given to each student. Due to a recent snow day, we as a class, were able to reschedule a make-up class on a different day other than our regular class time. This was an easy and simple process, and this really gave us a good feeling. The dance recital is a well organized event from the moment of dress rehearsal drop-off, to the end of the recital. The result is a lovely production that has far exceeded our expectations. It really is breathtaking to see those girls (and guys) on stage in beautiful costumes doing what they love most...dancing. Our worries about security for our little ballerina were quickly put to ease. There was an organized sign-in process, then a company employee took our daughter with a group of other girls to their assigned room. We loved the security bands/tags used for pick up and felt our daughter was well cared for. The night of the recital the younger dancers are entertained with crafts, snacks and a magic show, so parents can sit back and enjoy watching the performance. We definitely recommend this experience to anyone that is interested in enrolling their child in a top notch dance school where quality is job number one. Youll definitely receive your moneys worth.

We signed our daughter up for dance with Angela Floyd, Once we seen all they were doing was having play time in the dance studio we decided to enroll her somewhere else. When we confronted them about the issue they told us it would not be like that all the time we were paying a lot for each class. We could have taken our daughter to the park and movie for the amount it cost to attend that class. When the next month passed they charged us again for the classes. We asked them about this and they told us it was there policy that you had to have a 30 day withdrawn document. They would not cancel over the phone. They required us to come down there, well I live in East Knoxville and that was a 30 min drive. There is no reason they could not cancel it on the phone except they wanted to make it hard to cancel. When I got there the lady was not available, how convenient, to help me withdraw. So I had to make a second trip a few days later. The following month they charged us again for the classes when we confronted them they said we cancelled after the cut off date. So we basically paid for 3 months for our daughter to go to the classes 3 times. I tried to speak to the owner but she would not call back. There is a lot of other dance providers in Knoxville so you might want to stay clear of this one, I could see going there if they were the only place in town but since there is others I would stay clear. You want a friendly provider.

Look no further for a great dance and music school! We have been so pleased with our experience at Angela Floyd Schools! This is our fourth year at this studio, third year on one of their competition teams, and our first year joining the music school. Our very first experience was a summer camp at the studio. It was a week long program and our daughter had the best time! Everyone was so friendly and we knew this was the place for us! The staff is organized and efficient in handling the day to day business of the studio. We have been so impressed with the teachers. They are qualified and come from dance backgrounds. They are very genuine and care for the child’s dance education. From day one, they have taught proper dance vocabulary for the dance movements. While the teachers bring a fun approach to teaching they also are serious in teaching proper technique. Our daughter started piano this year and we have been so pleased with her progress. The one-on-one experience with her teacher has been priceless. The teacher is so engaging and each week brings a contagious excitement under which our daughter has thrived. So, if you are looking for a studio to call home, look no further. You will not be disappointed.

Our 8 year old daughter has been dancing at AFS for 5 years. She started out in ballet, but moved to Hip Hop as it better suited her personality. Her teachers have been wonderful to her throughout the years - working with her individually as well as in a class setting. She thrives on what she calls "The Big Stage" at the end of the year recital (which, by the way, is the best run recital in Knoxville - by far!). Our daughter has just started violin lessons at AFS as well and she is really loving it. So much so that she wants to continue with both dance and music. Our family sees this as both convenient and valuable to have both offerings in one place. There are hours to put in - for sure - but any good studio would require that. The flexibility in making up classes is appreciated as well. The staff knows our family and interacts with us whenever they have the opportunity. All of the above make this a great place for our daughter to experience, learn, and develop a long-term love for the arts. I highly recommend Angela Floyd Schools!

Our son always liked dance and music. When he started his classes at AFS at age 5, we were a little bit concerned that he was the only boy in his class. But the staff and other dancers made him feel absolutely comfortable. The annual spring concerts became a big event in our family: it’s very well organized, all dances, costumes and music are beautiful. The kids get really excited well before the concert itself! We also had couple years of AF Dance Company and it was great experience as well. Generally speaking we find the AFS staff very helpful, attentive to details and nice. This year is our fifth at AFS and our son tried everything from ballet to hip hop and acro. All these years he was certainly making big progress in his dance. We highly recommend this dance studio.

My daughter has been taking dance at AFS for four years, and voice for one year. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and professional. I know that my daughter is in a positive environment where she will be treated with love and respect, while taught the discipline and technique of dance. Her dance has blossomed under the supervision of Miss Angel and her staff. Further, I feel strongly that the studio expects a good attitude from the girls toward their teachers and each other. Music and costumes is always age appropriate and tasteful. I highly recommend AFS, it has been a wonderful place for Lily to grow as a dancer and as a person.

My daughter has been a student at AFDS for 2 years now. She absolutely LOVES it! We look forward to ballet and tap practice each week and were already anticipating her second recital this spring. The staff and instructors are friendly and professional. I feel as though they genuinely care for my daughter and look forward to seeing her in class just as much as we look forward to attending!
