What our clients are saying:

Hello Staff at Dance Matrix,

I am writing this email because I would like to tell you how much I love your dance studio.  There are many things I love about your studio.  I came into your dance studio not ever have taken a dance class anywhere but I have always wanted to.  The older I get the more I do not care what people think of me so I decided, after 40 years of being alive, to take a chance with dance.  I am so glad that I had a friend that was going to your studio and she introduced me to the classes.  I came in and tried out the classes.  I love that you allow students to try the class first before committing to them.  I love that I do not have to sign a contract for a long period of time, incase something were to happen in my life.

The teachers are awesome and very knowledgeable, although I probably would not know the difference but they have a good balance of pushing and encouraging the students. I feel like my body has gone through a metamorphoses in the three months I have been attending classes.  I even changed my eating habits to match the exercise that I have been getting. I enjoy the fact that you have opportunities for the adults to showcase what they have been learning through the annual recitals.  I am excited about the parade that is coming up in Snowflake.  I will be participating in that parade.  I eventually would love to go into the TTI program but I know that will be some time from now.  I am a teacher already but I teach elementary students regular curriculum which is very much different I am sure. 

Your studio has so much to offer.  I especially love the specials that you run for adults to take unlimited classes for one fee.  If you would not had offered that to me I would not be able to take as many classes as I do.  I want to tell you how much I appreciate this.  The last thing I wanted to mention was the staff at the front desk.  They are always so helpful and kind.  They talk with me when I am early for my classes even though I am sure they have better things to do.  They are so wonderful!

Please keep doing the awesome job you are doing.  I am truly blessed to be able to attend your studio.

Thank you so much for all your time and effort to make my dancing a success! 

With lots of love and appreciation,

Linda Vaughn

 

To Dance Matrix,
I wanted to take a moment to thank you all for the tremendous amount of hard work you put into the Christmas recital. We were so impressed with how smoothly everything ran. The girls all had such a wonderful time, yet there was no chaos or interruptions. Your organization was amazing! I also appreciated the costume fees and choices. I felt they were very appropriate for the customer base you have established. It was professional and we really felt like we were at a theatrical production, starring our daughter. We really feel "important" every time we walk into the office. Customer satisfaction is clearly a high priority for your staff and it is welcoming in this day in age where that is so hard to come by. We are always greeted with a smile. I really feel that the staff really loves working with all of the children, genuinely. We appreciate all you do and truly enjoy being a member of your organization.

Dance Matrix is an awesome place to dance. I prayed for a stylish and professional dance studio to open in Queen Creek, God answered my prayers with Dance Matrix!  There are no politics and competition, everyone is treated the same. They focus on what matters, technique. The teachers love what they do and the owners, Bryan & Andrea, are considerate when it comes to the comfort of the studio and their clients. They are a class act all the way!

The new studio is both elegant and tranquil a necessity that is often overlooked in most dance studios. Due to their quality performance I know blessings will follow. Hopefully they will plant studios all over the country giving everyone the opportunity to experience the special enthusiasm Dance Matrix has to offer. Dance Matrix receives Five Stars From a satisfied mother!
