Reviews of Artistic Fusion Dance Academy (Dance School)

Lynette Shelton

The best decision we made for our daughter was to move her to Artistic Fusion to continue her dance training. She is in her 2nd season with AF and she is not only receiving the best technical training, but she is getting all the support and love she needs to pursue her passion. Everyone there from the owner, teachers, staff, parents, and dancers are all very friendly and kind and we are so grateful our daughter has so many wonderful people helping her pursue her dreams. My daughter loves AF and has made the best of friends to last a lifetime. By far the BEST studio in Colorado.

I am in the middle of my 3rd season as a member of the Artistic Fusion company and I have loved every minute! The people that I have met there have always been so supportive. Jenny Jarnot and the rest of the staff truly care about the growth and happiness of all of their students! Spending a lot of time with my teammates has really created such a family environment, not to mention all of the incredible opportunities that Jenny is always creating from guest choreographers, to CLI classes, to an amazing summer intensive! I’m so glad that I have become a part of the Artistic Fusion family!!

Moving to this studio was the best decision I could have ever made for my training and well being. Artistic Fusion not only gives you the best technical training but they teach you how to be a well rounded person from a very young age. I have met friends that I will keep my whole life and learned my most valuable lessons from this place. Not to mention the incredible opportunities the owner Jen provides for us. I highly recommend Artistic Fusion to anyone looking to experiment and dive deeper into dance no matter their level.

My daughter is in her third season on the competition dance team at Artistic Fusion. We chose Artistic Fusion for competitive dance because it offered world-class choreographers flying in from Los Angeles and New York regularly, over 7 hours of ballet class per week, six large dance studios to provide ample scheduling, small classes to train in, over 70 dancers on the comp team for my daughter to look up to and learn from, beautiful, artistic competitive dances with an incredible winning record from the most challenging dance competitions we respect, and fantastic placements of alumni into top tier college dance programs. However, the biggest factor for us choosing Artistic Fusion, was the discipline and focus of the dancers, as well as the warm and inviting atmosphere the dancers created for my daughter, imperative for a place she spends over 20 hours a week at. We made the right decision.

The studio is so much more than dance it is a family as well. The kids learn awesome techniques along with team work....

I hesitated to review this studio but after receiving a second “happy birthday” email for my daughter not on her birthday. I am upset. Jen and Callie are so rude and never answer emails. The communication of this studio is non existent. My daughter came home and told me that her teachers yelled at her and stepped on her feet when she messed up. She was nine at the time. To me that is bullying. I asked her if she wanted to stay and she said “no” I called the studio and explained why she wanted to leave. I was assured that her teachers would call and speak with her. They never did. That is when we left. This studio might turn out great dancers but you need to ask yourself at what cost? Because they aren’t kind and they don’t care about your child they just care about getting your money.

My daughter loves this place...

The owner Jen Jarnot is not the type of person who cares about the kids at her studio all she could care about is the money coming in! The office manager Jana is not friendly at all when you see her sitting at the front desk she can’t even go out of her way to say hi! Definitely would not recommend this studio to anyone!

This dance studio has created and amazing environment for me to grow and meet life long friends. Many opportunities are offered because of how selfless the owner is. She brings in choreographers that we suggest and gets everything ready for us for competition. The environment is so positive and everyone gets along. I love every person on my team and wouldn’t trade them for anyone else. Also, the staff keeps everything so organized and gives us amazing training. This is the best studio in Colorado.

My 8 yr old daughter dances rec and it’s been an amazing experience the teachers really care and put effort in helping the students progress as a result my daughters confidence has boosted tremendously since the beginning of the year. All of the office staff are very friendly and kind with myself and my daughter. Anytime I have a question they are answered efficiently or when I have called I have always received a call back with answers. The community atmosphere will keep us coming back because there is no feeling of favoritism rec vs company we feel very welcomed and a part of the studio even as a rec dancer.

We experienced extreme bullying at Artistic Fusion and if you ask for help from the owner, it only gets worse. The owner, office staff, teachers, parents and dancers bullied my child to no end. Then, 5 months after we moved on, the owner actually sent three of her dancers to my childs' new studio for the summer and told them to be nasty to my 10 year old, kicking her belongings, tearing her dance bag, name calling, etc. In addition, I was charged 350.00 for a month of tuition after we left. It was never returned, even after I received a voicemail from Callie saying it would be. There are so many dance studios around, that based on my experiences and on the similar experiences of many other families I know, I recommend taking your children elsewhere.

Our two daughters dance recreationally at AFDA. While it would have been easy to join another studio (or even the local recreation center) for our dancing “fun”, we still wanted to give our girls the opportunity to receive the best dance instruction in the state. Our girls’ instructors are the same instructors as those at the competitive level...we’re not paying to be pawned off on one of the high school dance students. All of our girls’ teachers have been so kind and helpful, and they’ve supported our girls in their development of confidence both on and off the stage. We look forward to the classes each week! Additionally, the front desk staff and store staff have been extremely helpful with managing our monthly tuition, finding classes that accommodate our busy schedule, and helping size our girls for all their dancing necessities. Lastly, we attend many of the local dance competitions just to watch, and AFDA’s choreography, costumes, poise, and teamwork overwhelmingly surpass that of the competing studios. As an observer, there’s no doubt that AFDA holds their dancers to a MUCH higher standard.

This dance studio is awful. Business owner, Jennifer Jarnot and office support Callie Engle don't answer phone calls, emails, letters and treat students and parents poorly. They are generally incompetent. So much that they will likely miss this review. If you are reading this trying to decide where to enroll your child for dance classes, skip to the next place on your search.

We love AFDA! My oldest daughter is 14 and has been dancing at the studio since she was three. I also have two younger daughters who dance there. Jen and all the staff are amazing! This studio not only provides dance instruction, it is a family!

Amazing studio!

Jaya Richards

We moved here from CA and have been with the dance studio 4 seasons now. We are so grateful we landed in such a great community. Not only have our girls received great instruction and dance opportunities over the past 4 seasons, we have all met and made some amazing friends. The teachers uniquely connect with all three of my girls on and off the dance floor and TRULY care about them. I love that they encourage and promote community outreach and fully support the ideas and projects our parent/dancer non-profit organization puts before them. I love watching them perform at a highly competitive level as well as watching our girls improve and grow year after year.

My 7 yr old daughter loves Artistic Fusion. She takes ballet, tap and jazz and has learned so much in just her first year in the recreation program. The training is exceptional, teachers are amazing, atmosphere is fun and the facilities are top notch.
