Reviews of Leaping Lizards Performing Art (Dance School)

Keaton Ibendahl

I have been at leaping lizards for a few years now, and I love it. The teachers are great and have helped me improve.

Do not feel like this is a legit dance studio. After questioning a suggestion by an operator about the need to purchase leotards and tights for a recital, was snubbed by the operator and a parent and offered financial assistance I do not need. Other parents gave the impression that they thought I was cheap for asking. Was told dancing is optional. Was told my opinion was valued, but it seemed more like a dismissal. Feel like they protested too much and are in it for the money because reactions to my questioning were overly emotional. My children like it, but they don't know anything else and I sense that this place charges more than it is worth. The teacher interacts well with the children, but I have not seen improvements comparable to a higher quality studio. Building is not well maintained (lights out for multiple weeks), and some parents are pretentious which makes it hard while waiting. Seems like Leaping Lizards is not really into dancing as much as promoting events. Also this is much less diverse than I would expect if it were really "all about the children" as I was told by an operator. I'm stuck with them for now, but hey, it's all about the children.

Leaping Lizards has a 6/1 teacher student ratio. While we encourage our young students to feel comfortable in our classes, we also feel it important to keep other students in mind. Sometimes a child may be too young for our curriculum. At that point we in courage the parents to wait until the child matures. We would never “kick a child out”.

The classes are crowed and the teacher does not seem to know what to do. They kicked my 3 year old out of the school for crying. With so many other dance schools in St. Louis skip this one.
