Reviews of Full Out Performance Dance Company (Dance School)

Lara Dunlop

So thankful for finding a dance studio where every dancer is not only loved and encouraged but is given top notch education in multiple forms of dance. We love the small class sizes and the family feel of the studio. My daughter has grown tremendously as a dancer. All the teachers are so loving, caring and eager to share their love of dance with their students. So excited to see what the future holds for the studio.

I LOVE FULL OUT PERFORMANCE! It is honestly one of the best dance schools around and I am truly grateful that we found them. The biggest difference between Full Out and other schools is that they care more about the growth and development of your child as a dancer than making money and growing their business. I say this because sadly, I have experienced it in other studios wherein my daughter would get thrown into a group of 35 or more kids and not once does the teacher even look at her to see if what she is doing is correct. Now to make things even worse, throughout the year they would still keep adding to the class even when they can barely fit in the classroom. That just goes to show that in those schools they value quantity over quality. You will never have to worry about this problem at Full Out. My daughter has learned and grown so much as a dancer and we owe it to all the wonderful teachers at Full Out Performance. Thank you!

As a former professional dancer in Hollywood and now a part of the faculty family this studio I can honestly say that the teachers I work with are top notch starting with owner and artistic director Paige Tamarkin who is nothing short of brilliant!. The kids we get to teach are all awesome and they make teaching a pure joy! Come be a part of this incredible family.

This studio has been a game changer for my daughter. Technique, proper form, strength building, injury prevention, confidence, teamwork, being good to others, dancing from the heart, and using their passion are all important parts of the Full Out curriculum. They care about the dancer as a whole person. Feedback is given in a way that builds the student, yet encourages them to safely take risks, try new things, and develop new skills. The owners and instructors are incredibly caring and invested in bringing out the best in each dancer.

We are proud to be part of the FOPDC family!!! It is one very fierce and mighty studio. Paige and her faculty motivate such growth and greatness for all dancers with their dedication and love. It isn't only about 8 counts and music and costumes for them, they teach to inspire. Dance is an art form and an expression to share with the world.

The owners here are probably the rudest people I have ever met. The way Paige and her mom treat the parents is absolutely disgusting. I also feel that after switching to full out (only because we moved and it was closer) my daughter took a few steps back as far as her talents go. I would strongly advise against going there. We found another studio two miles away that is freakin awesome.

I am truly grateful for Paige Tamarkin and her experienced staff at Full Out. The level of instruction, dedication, and love for my daughter has been the most positive experience for her. She laughs often, she has gained so much confidence in her dance and has improved her technique in all dance genres. The company is small and they are a team!!! I am so grateful for our Full Out family and the philosophy of "Why Do You Dance?"

Full Out Performance is one of the best studios there is. The teachers are wonderful, and they focus on individuals in order to help each and every student improve. It is such an encouraging environment and I felt I improved the most at this studio. They pushed me to be the best I could possibly be and inspired my passion for dance. I was a member of the senior elite competition team. Even a year after graduating high school, I still drive an hour to the studio because it is just the best there is. I also have a great deal of hearing loss and no one ever doubted my abilities, (many have in the past), every teacher was willing to work with me and figure out was to improve my performance despite my disability. Competitions are a blast. The directors and teachers always taught us to be gracious and learn from our performances whether they be good or bad. The core classes, such as ballet and jazz, are some of the most technique focused classes I have found in the valley. Again I drive an hour during rush hour to get to the studio. The other classes they offer such as tap and hip hop are so much fun. I was not ever trained in tap until I came to the studio and they still put me in a class with my peers that were my age (whereas at other studios they would put me in classes with 10 year olds when I was 16) but the level of the class was not brought down because of me, instead the teacher took the time to explain the technique that goes into tap and everyone learned from that. I hadn't trained much in hip hop before I came here either but I actually learned technique rather than just combos. which made me much more confident in my abilities. This studio is such an inviting place. There is an atmosphere that I have never found at another studio. The kids and teachers here truly have a passion for dance. There are some of the best teaching at this studio. Amazing choreography, technique focused teaching, and a great atmosphere. I've never found all three in a studio.

Without question this is the best dance studio in the Valley. They make my daughter feel like a part of their family. I really can’t say enough good things.

I absolutely love this dance studio. Paige, Lauri and the staff are great. You can tell how much they really care about their dancers. Their passion for dance shines through their awesome choreography. My daughter has grown as a dancer in such a short period of time. If you want an encouraging environment for yourself or your child then this is the perfect place to dance!!

Laura Hattenburg

Full Out Performance is quickly on its way to being one of the best in the valley! Paige and her team have built a solid foundation based on hard work and passion, paired with amazing fresh choreography they are unstoppable!

If you have kids wanting to LEARN how to dance this is the place. Faculty teaches both recreational and competitive dancers. Which I like. Recitals can be so long and quite frankly boring when you have a 5 year old dancing in a a 2 1/2 minute routine and have to sit through a 2 hour show. These shows had us entertained the whole time and it was so rewarding for my dancer. Definitely a 5 star studio all around.

Love this dance school! It was/is exactly what our 11 yr old daughter needed to learn techniques and terms..(and how and why she was dancing again...after 5yrs of karate and her 1st black belt)....in a non intimidating, positive, professional yet fun enviornment. A bunch of their instructors have been on tv shows...MTV..soap operas...and are currently working Profesional themselves; with a passion to mentor and teach.

Erika Villanueva

Still my favorite dance studio in the East Valley. 5 Star all the way. We have been here since it opened 5 years ago and have been pleased with their ways of teaching young, impressionable kids. My daughter loves it here.
