Barb’s is a fantastic dance studio with wonderful teachers. Highly recommend. ** Please note, the comments on here from many years ago relate to the old dance studio at this address (Mirror Image) that closed.

My daughter and I love Barbs Centre for Dance! All the instructors are great and the studio is very organized and well taken care of. The two low reviews I see regarding being dirty and shutting down taking peoples money had nothing to do with this dance studio. I rely on the online reviews myself when I make a decision, so I just felt it was important people were aware those reviews were about a completely different dance studio and owner. The performances and opportunities provided by Barbs are always impressive!

Kids are mean, and the new director group and teachers dont care about it.They are not even fair. They dont mind if their favorite kids wear a white or blue outfit, but prohibit some other kids from wearing a dark color. It was different when Barb was around. They dont just instruct how to dance. They should be good teachers for these young kids.The current choreographies are not as attractive or competitive as others at the competitions. The Spring Recitals had least audiences because parents were not motivated to get involved. No one wants to see that her kid is playing second fiddle. Everyone can see that many things are biased, not only parts but even good/proper consulting/advising opportunities.Something has to be done soon or it wont be the same as few years ago. I gave three stars because Barbs effort for last 30+ years.

The teachers really want each student to love dance and improve, and Barb is the most wonderful, kindhearted woman on the planet. Even the building itself is warm and inviting.

Well, considering they just closed down 2 months before the recital without warning, taking parents money, I would give it a poor rating. I agree with the other reviewer, the place was a filthy mess every time I went in. Food everywhere-disgusting! The dance teachers themselves were wonderful but the management was awful.

Every time I entered Mirror Image I was horrified at the MESS. Food on the floor, garbage left on tables and floors. Their childrens belongings thrown all over the floor. We had to pay for costumes in November, she would order them in January (to get a discount and didnt pass the $ back to the parents). She promised to credit for classes the teacher had cancelled and she never did. She collected recital ticket money and then closed her doors. In her email blast explaining why she closed her doors, she never mentioned the children who worked so hard. Shame on you!
