danced here since I was 6 years old on company teams stopped about 2 years ago when I was 16 and still love it as much as I did when I first started P.s we don't "practice in full on makeup and costumes" lolol

First of all let me say there choreography is repetitive. But still good. And one of there dancers was rude at a competition at hall of fame dance competition. Her name was Isabella p who performed trouble on my mind. Which she was good but she was super rood to my students she Always rolled her eyes and even the competition owners had to speak to her! And when dc performed there production up all night other studios said good job but they didn’t acknowledge the other studios!! All in all dc dancers are snobby little brats! And when we went to check out there studio the front desk people were so rude! But anyways dc is a good studio but need to work on hospitality and need not have repetitive dance moves like they can’t get through one minute without doing a kick or turn.

This studio turns out great dancers, no doubt about that. They are serious about dance. When I brought my five-year-old for her first class, I saw little girls that had full-on stage makeup, hair, glitter and bedazzled dance attire. I thought these were girls who were practicing for competition, but no, that is how they dressed for class. They are serious about dance. When my daughter's class didn't practice to the expectations of her teachers, they didn't get their "after-class lollipop." My daughter would cry because she genuinely did her best and did what was expected of her, but because the whole class didn't do their best, no lollipop. Hard to explain to a 5-year old. They are serious about dance. But why we left this studio is not over their commitment to being serious about dance. I actually don't fault the studio. They want to be the best and that is what they do. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen. This is a great studio to go to if you are serious about dance. But when I realized that there were too many dance families at the studio who were, for a lack of a better term, ill-mannered, it was time to go! I'm raising a little girl who I want to be surrounded by positive, caring, respectful people. I couldn't believe the amount of disrespect I heard from dancers to their parents, or from siblings in the waiting area. Kids running amuck, totally undisciplined and disrespectful. I was pregnant during the season that we were at DC Dance Factory, and not once...not one time...did any parent offer me a seat in the waiting area. Even if it meant moving their purse or a kid's backpack off of a limited (and coveted) seat in the waiting area. There was actually another mom who was also heavily pregnant, and the two of us would stand there massaging our backs (because it's tough to stand for an hour), and never once, did anyone offer of a seat..even if the seat was not being taken up by a person, but by stuff" occupying it. I will say, I did see an elderly woman be offered a seat by someone who was leaving once, so that was nice! The culture here was just not what I wanted to raise my child in. A dance studio becomes your second home. Lifelong friendships are made between dancers and the parents. And this just wasn't our scene.

Wow! We just completed our first year at DC Dance Factory - one daughter on Company, one taking regular classes. Both girls have progressed so much, made great friends and fallen in love with DC!! Persistence, hard work, and positivity--everything that you want your kids to value--that's what you'll find at DC.

This school really is a toss up based on what you're looking for in classes. They are well organized, very professional, and there are many teachers, so a lot of different styles of dance and teaching styles to choose from. Among the cons however, is that the dancers they put out really do seem like they've been through a factory. Very competition heavy, so expect more emphasis on flashy dance movement than classical training. We ended up pulling our daughter out and moving to a studio that stayed away from competitions since it reflects in the material and teaching styles. Overall though, a pleasant experience and good classes for the non-serious dancers.

Best out there!!

This studio is way more than just a place to dance; it's a family. The teachers and staff truly love these kids and want nothing more than to see them succeed. I am so thankful my daughter gets to learn and grown as a dancer at DC Dance Factory!!

Have been here 9yrs ... my daughter wouldn’t want to be anywhere else ... simply the best....

DC Dance Factory is an amazing dance studio. The teachers are incredibly talented, but most importantly (in my opinion), is that they genuinely love their job and our dancers. I also think the parents here are supportive and encouraging to one another as well as to our kiddos. DC is our 2nd home. I am proud to be a part of this family for the past 7 years, and look forward to many more!!!

This will be the twelfth year my girls have been dancing at DC Dance Factory. From the first year we danced with DC to now, I am constantly amazed at the talent within this studio - from the teachers and the dancers. When DC dancers hit the stage, you know it. The teachers are amazingly talented and creative. Year after year they create dances and themes that are like no other. Everything they do is uniquely DC. We love DC, not just because of the talent and creativity, but also because the teachers really care about their students. My girls think of this studio as their second home and the teachers, parents and dancers as their extended family. I've seen so many DC dancers graduate high school and leave DC for college, NY or LA, but they always come back every chance they get. They come back to see their mentors and get the chance to take just one more class from them. They come back because they know they are loved there. If you live anywhere near Franklin, TN, and your child loves dance and wants to learn more, take them to DC. You'll be amazed at how much your child will learn and grow. I know I am.

The DC dance factory is one of the very best in the country.

We recently moved from CA and were told this is the place to be if you are a dancer. Couldn’t agree more. Amazing facility and faculty. They welcomed my daughter with open arms.

We are headed into our third year at DC Dance Factory. I have two girls, and both of them have grown tremendously as dancers at the studio. This is truly a family environment. Whether you’re looking for a competitive competition team or recreational experience, either way you will receive commitment and great training! My girls are happy and I love the friends they’ve made. Thank you DC Dance Factory

This is truly the best studio around. The staff are professional, organized, and truly want the kids to be their best. Being their best means in everything they do, from dance, to cheering or encouraging their peers during class, to showing respect to adults and each other, and taking these tools and applying it to life. It is a family! This is our 2nd year at DC and I truly love the staff, parents, and the kids. The talent here is amazing!! I would recommend anyone who is on the fence to come to a recital where you will see what DC produces or google dc factory dances online and look at past performances. You won't regret it!
