"Started my full-time course at Dance Factory mid-July 2020, although my first 2 terms were a bit weird due to the covid situation (classes on zoom for few weeks), I was able to see myself make huge progress with techniques and basics in jazz and ballet, as I came with no dance background at all. (little bit of hip hop fondations) Management has been nothing but kind to me, as I'm an international student who's also working a lot, they've been supportive and treating me like family and encouraging me since my first day. Teachers are patient, and as long as you're here to progress and invest yourself they'll be supporting you! Everyone is very friendly, there's always a good atmosphere in class/casual classes. Although I'm a full time student, I also enjoy taking the night/casual classes on Mondays and Saturdays! I absolutely love doing jazz and Hip hop with Emmalee on mondays, she has an amazing energy and is always coming up with fun routines! And I also really enjoy Sophie's ballet and lyrical classes on Saturdays :)"
"I feel really lucky to have found Dance Factory. I'm currently a part time student, and the experience has so far been really great. I don't quite understand the experience of some of the other people who have reviewed here saying that beginner students are ignored by staff/management. I started as an almost complete beginner (excepting some pretty negligible childhood dance experience) and definitely haven't felt ignored/neglected by staff. Everyone has been really inclusive and welcoming so far. The teachers are experienced and approachable, happy to answer questions and are able to balance the constructive feedback needed to improve with sufficient encouragement to motivate the student. If you are enthusiastic and willing to work hard, they will support you."
"I've been doing Jazz as an adult at Dance Factory for 7 years. I have found all the teacher to be great and very helpful. Personally I think dance is a great way to stay fit and it's also good for your mind body coordination. I highly recommend the Dance Factory to anyone who wants to learn how to dance and have fun."
"(2.5 stars if I could) I've done one year here (2018) and for beginners I would recommend attending here for basic technique. The facilities are quite nice but some studios are slippery as well as some being to small. Student and reception: Other students there are nice and welcoming and the two receptionist are always working hard but still have time to talk which is extremely nice. Other members of the reception team at some points would harass people for money and if you went to audition for another school would tell you off. However others are like mothers to all the students. The teachers: The teachers are off and on with some having the opinion that they know everything and making students self-conscious about their bodies not to mention being very unprofessional during rehearsal times. Other teachers are amazing and I felt like I was pushed in these classes and that they wanted the best for me. I felt like I could go to these teachers and express ideas and myself as a young dancer. Some others after a while I don't learn from and it's just a big game when in reality it's my life as a dancer. Night classes: I would definitely recommend night classes as they are normally fun, energetic and lively with a healthy mix of talking and dancing. Extra notes: Don'expect to film any classes as that is out of the question. Which in this day and age is stupid."
"I've been taking adult casual classes at Dance Factory for about 10 years. During that time I've met some great people, made lifelong friends, and improved a lot as a dancer. My favourite thing about this school is the way the receptionists knew my name the second time I ever came in, and are always friendly and chatty. It's very welcoming and for a large school has much more of a family vibe than others in the area."
