From the reviews
I’ve been bringing my daughters here for three years now and absolutely love it. They’re both enrolled in their tumble tots and swim classes and I have seen them both improve their skills.
My son Jett goes to swimming classes at this location and let me tell you,, he has grown so much with his swimming confidence! He is almost 4 years old and we have stuck with Coach Mason every step of the way! He is gentle and understanding with my sometimes complicated 3 year old!
We have been a part of the American Cheer family for over 20 years! The community of the American Cheer family is over the top amazing. Jason and Ashley’s passion for cheer is exemplified throughout the entirety of the program!
Love Landon’s swim coach, Heather. Very nice and patient. He’s always happy when he’s in the pool with her. He always has lots of fun during his swim lessons and also learning at the same time. 👏🏼😄 We hope we get her again when we come back. 👍🏼 Overall, friendly staff and great experience! ❤️
Your first ballet class at American Kids Sports Center: Northwest - Allen Rd.
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
