My sons have gone to this studio for 3 years, and every year we've had such an amazing experience! The instructors are incredibly supportive, and bring so much energy to every class. My kids looked forward to going every week. The atmosphere is welcoming and positive, and it’s clear the staff truly care about the growth and confidence of each student. We also loved the end-of-season performance. It was so well organized and inspiring to see all the kids shine on stage.

If you're looking for a place where your child can build skills, stay active, and be part of a great dance community, I highly recommend this studio!

They are very rude. My cousin went to their school we wish we would have read all the reviews. Please do read all the bad reviews. They are 100% right about their bad experiences. Don’t wait to hurt your child. They just focus on good dancers. They don’t have good teachers spirit to work hard on weak kids. They force weak kids to ultimately leave the dance school by making lame excuses and make child embarrassed and demotivated at such a fragile age. They need to learn from Canadian schools how they make sure no child feels hurt or embarrassed at elementary level. I wish google has zero star for being rude and disrespectful. They don’t give a single chance to let kid improve and prove himself or herself. They forget that some people are born fighters and have high spirits to prove themselves.

The instructors are warm, talented, and passionate about what they do. The classes are well-organized, fun, and welcoming for all skill levels. Highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for a supportive and inspiring place to dance!

We've completed one full year at this school and have been very pleased with the experience. Our eldest loved attending class and I felt communication on the various events was excellent.
The staff were awesome and the lady in the office (possibly Julie?) is a doll. There is a more competitive stream if your kid really thrives in dance, and there are less competitive but still challenging options if they don't. I like that there are leadership opportunities for older kids.
The only downside is the terrible parking but if you are early, you can find a spot to park.

I don’t recommend this place because the school ask parents pay by monthly, even during the winter break and spring break, only two lessons in those months, but still charge full tuition. It’s unfair for parents to pay for nothing. Meanwhile, performance charge is mandatory, splitting costs to each month no matter if the student wants to attend.
At the last lesson of each term, there is no dancing class, only give children a piece of paper to color. There is a joke that “ your arts were taught by a dance teacher!” For here, yes. It’s not a joke. I don’t understand that we send children to learn dance, rather than arts. How the director can allow it happened in a dance school?
I read all comments here. I believe it was a good school, but in recent years, there is no 5 stars comments any more.

My girls have been dancing with Panorama School of Dance for 7 years. The teachers and all staff are so caring and amazing! Ms. Lisa has been so supportive to my girls. You can really see that she was worked so hard to create such a wonderful team and environment. She's an excellent role model for all girls. We just love her! The year end shows are truly beautiful! I highly recommend Panorama School of Dance!

Our daughter has been at Panorama Dance Studio for 4 years. She absolutely loves it there. It has really brought her out of her shell, she used to be shy and has become so much more confident. She has made many friends there. The staff and student teachers are always warm and welcoming. Thank you!

It’s been a week now since Brielle started her classes with Panorama School again. I’ve never seen her that excited again since pandemic started. We have been very careful in slowly opening our bubble and sending her back to dancing is one thing we knew is best for Brielle.

As a nurse manager, I have been working a lot lately with infection prevention and control measures in the retirement home I work for. That’s why I am so impressed and relieved when I read and saw the health and safety guidelines that Panorama School of Dance is implementing.

I like how they managed to make separate entrances for different studios and instructing dancers to go straight to the rooms. They’re making sure that dancers remain on their marked area on the floor to help maintain social distances. They’re also encouraging the kids to wear masks and perform hand hygiene when entering and exiting rooms. They also now have allotted 15 mins break in-between classes to allow staff to sanitize and disinfect highly touched surfaces which is critical in ensuring the dancer’s health and safety. Communications to us parents were clear and consistent and updates are done regularly. All of these, to me are vital in giving myself some peace of mind and assurance every morning as I go to work thinking that the risk of me possibly bringing virus to the retirement home is very low. Definitely a school you can trust 👌
