Still not sure My daughter has been going to TDR for 3 years. She started in creative movement then took tap and is now in tumbling. Everyone has treated us well. My daughter enjoys the classes and learns from them. I think the cost is less than other studios around and they have a very nice studio and gym. I was not happy with the recital. I did not think it was organized well and thought because they have been doing this for so long that it would be organized. I still do not know how my daughter becomes a part of a perform... read more

Dance Mom My daughters have been at the dance refinery for over 13 years and I find the organization very well run. What a great way to keep your children fit and their mind active. We have found good friends there. Miss Lynn is great role model for any young lady. I would highly reccomend the studio for the serious student to someone interested in just one class a week..

High class dance studio! Dancing at The Dance Refinery for over 11 years, we are very pleased. Lynn and her staff are very organized, friendly, and professional. Being flexible and able to adapt to situations that arise while keeping dancers and their parents informed are their among their strong qualities. We've danced there through personal illnesses, tornado warnings, floods, and competition's that canceled their Indianapolis location a week out, through all of this TDR was able to work with us and keep us informed throug... read more

World Class Dance Studio Where to start? We have three girls who go to The Dance Refinery, our oldest coming up on 10 years. The glue that holds it together is Lynn, the owner. She and her staff work tirelessly to provide the best quality instruction possible, which shows in the recitals and competitions. We can tell when a number was done by The Dance Refinery because the costumes, choreography, and polish of the dancers is a cut above the rest of the studios we've seen. Children there develop teamwork, poise, and a good at... read more

Instructors A lot of studios hire dance teachers who haven't performed professionally but have studied and trained as dancers. Some have college dance degrees and taught in high school and have continue after graduation.Studios will use professional choreographers they bring in for special numbers but that person is not usually a regular staff member. Choreographers are a great way to get different styles and routines. And great exposure to the performing world.

TDR for LIFE The Dance Refinery is the best studio I have ever attended. I started my dance life at another studio and for two years, I felt I learned nothing. I have been at TDR for 9 years now... I love it!! I have experienced many different, amazing things since I've been here, more than just in dance. I have gone to Los Angeles, Myrtle Beach, Branson, Louisville (and many more) and this summer we've been invited to EUROPE!! These type of events are once in a lifetime opportunities that I never would have had the chance t... read more

To Dance or not to Dance Dance is not for everyone. Those who truly have a passion for the Art and who truly want to learn to master the Art, know where to invest their time and money. Doctors and Dentists, Lawyers and child care are all things we spend 'Too much money on' but we do it because we want the best service with people who know their business. Miss Lynn knows her business. I knew of her and her students when I was a student at another dance studio 30 years ago and competed against her dancers. She choreographed my... read more

I love TDR I just moved to TDR this year... And it has been great It's not like one of the studios where you have to earn your keep in order to be treated nice. The first day I was there, i was automatically treated like part of the family... Miss Lynne is amazing and so are the rest of the teachers there. I'm currently apart of a competitive dance group, and it has been so much fun... As for expenses.... It's really nothing.... If you are serious about your dance or gymnastics or cheer.. then it shouldn't matter... Costumes... read more

All Around Great School My kids have been at the Dance Refinery for 2 years. My oldest is preparing to be in competion gymnastics and my youngest has made so many friends. The teachers are fantasitics and they pay so much attention to all the kids. The owner is great she works with parents who need to pay tution in payments rather than one big payment. If you have kids is competion level dance or gymnastics they have a funderaising family program for you to earn money towards tution and costumes. About the cost is about aver... read more
