Stage Door Of Performing Arts

This place gets a negative star rating. My daughter has danced at Stage Door for four years. I am appalled by the level of customer service that I received. They are disorganized, rude and ignorant. Their studio is dirty and uncomfortable. Sue, the awful owner, is what makes that place so bad. She is rude and belittles children. She is a poor excuse for a business owner. Parents, do not let your child attend this school. They are a waste of time and money. Instead, go to their competitors, The Dance Studio! That's where I'll be! more

My daughter spent 14 years dancing for Stage Door. Competitive dancer for 4 of those years. The first year of competition was awesome. From there on, terrible. There was so much drama surrounding the owner, Sue Franks and the Northern Force dancers that it became almost laughable. Northern Force took most of Stage Doors talent with the split leaving the students of Stage Door with no teachers some nights. Sue, the owner quit competing at the same competitions that Northern Force was going to be at because she couldn't compete with the talent that they had. Then came the communication failure on the owers part. Most times you would call to speak to her, you were transferred to her voice mail. When you show up to speak to her face to face, she would not come out of the back, chosing instead to keep you waiting for hours. If I were to start all over again and can warn any other potential parents of new dancers wanting to dance there, I'd let them know that there is nothing but drama and an owner who should retire before the studio gets any worse of a reputation. The only thing that she is good at is patting herself on the back for a mediocre studio (at best). more

Good technique...operationally handicapped. Keep the teachers...get rid of management. more

I spent a year at Stage door and went over to nothern force with the studio's split with a few friends. Pros: Very good technique training. Cons: I am happy more

Stage door has a GREAT staff and GREAT history of being one of the toughest places to bet when it comes to competitions. Even if you are looking for a place for recreational, this is the place to be!!!! Pros: Best known as the ""to do"" studio in the north metro Cons: none I have been there 10 years with all my children and love it! more
