Reviews of The Dance Factory (Dance School)

Ali Fowler-Kelly

I cannot say how much we truly love and appreciate the Dance Factory. When you’re part of this group, you become more of a family rather than just a dance group. Smaller classes ensure that the girls (and boys!) get the instruction time that they deserve. My daughter just started this past September, and has fallen completely in love with what dancing has to offer. I can’t wait to see where this leads her.

Proper signage and road names required to find the location .Extremely crisscrossed maze of one way streets to reach there .

Dianne is the best! She’s very dedicated to her students, dances with heart and always looking for ways to take it all to the next level in dance. Best studio in town to take your kids to!

Great experience watching the local talent in contemporary dance and theatre. The talent is phenomenally impressive. Located in the Newtown area.

My daughter is 10 years old now, we been with Miss.Dianne for almost five years.its really great place to learn dance, my daughter dance skills grow stronger each year,both me and my husband attended adult class too at night, we had so much fun! Miss Dianne is a great dance teacher, she is such a wise and patience teacher,There is one thing happened two years ago I still remembered until now.before the recital night we found out my daughter tight had a big hole. We worried we might have not enough time to find her a new one, sometimes you can’t find the right size in the store, So I texted Miss Dianne that night, she responded very fast, and she told me don’t worry she will have one for her. Can you imagine she was so busy for the recital and she still managed to give my daughter a new tight? I was so worried Miss.Dianne might forgot about it.But she didn’t, I felt so thankful for her, she put every students in her heart,She always so positive and bright! She has the most beautiful studio in the mall! Many things happened throughout the years, we never heard any negative words come out from her, she always cheers the kids up, we have so many great teachers in the town, she is one of them, she earns my respect!

It's a great performance space. The classes they offer are great for children. It's a great vibe. It's altogether a well put together place.

Just amazing

Sabrina Sleasman

I danced with Diane for a total of 14 years and I loved every moment of it. She is the kindest and most caring and respectable woman you will ever meet and has inspired me throughout the years in countless ways. Diane is wonderful with the little ones and has incredible patience for teaching such small children. She certainly pushes the children to try their very best and put effort into every single performance, although still finding time for fun and enjoyment with every class. I hope that one day my own children will have the joy of a dance teacher as good as Diane.

My daughter has been dancing with Miss Dianne for ten years; since my daughter was three years old. Dianne has nurtured my daughter’s love of dance from the baby classes and her first recital as a cuddly duck in a fluffy white tutu to her solo classes over the last couple of years. She has harnessed my daughter’s energy and passion for dance and the studio has become a second home to both my daughter and me. Dianne uses the right level of flexibility, fun and discipline to get the best out of her dancers. Since my daughter has been dancing her entire school aged life, she has better time management skills and focus because she has learned to juggle the demands of her passion for dance and her schoolwork. I was taught by two former Rockettes who were very professional, but strict and demanding from the minute I hit the dance floor at the age of six. Dianne is a breath of fresh air combining the right level of discipline and fun from the tiniest dancers to the high school dancers.

My daughter loved going to the Dance Factory under the instruction of Ms. Dianne. My daughter was shy, and Ms. Dianne took the time to talk to her and explain every step in a way the kids would understand. Ms. Dianne is a sweet and caring instructor who truly loves dance and the children she teaches. She puts her heart and soul into the studio. My daughter was eager to practice her dance moves at home and even more excite for her recitals. The only reason we stopped going to the studio is because we moved out of the area. We were heartbroken, and no other studio has measured up to The Dance Factory. Dianne has clear communication to both the students and the parents, and going there is truly a pleasure.

We have been with The Dance Factory of Saratoga Springs for 6 years now. Ms. Dianne is truly a wonderful teacher who is so loved by our dance families. She is patient, kind and works hard to make sure her students get the most out of dance class. The studio is absolutely beautiful; as she takes great pride in the gorgeous window dressings, especially around each holiday. It is also exceptionally clean, especially considering the amount of children and parents who come in each day! If you are considering signing up your child for dance lessons, I highly recommend Dianne and The Dance Factory of Saratoga Springs! You will not find a more beautiful studio or a more wonderful instructor. Please check out the photos I’ve included to see our gorgeous studio!!

I have a long history at the dance factory. Having danced there for 11 years, I can assure you the knowledge brought to you is Substantial. You will not only learn technique but you/ your child will learn self control And patience all while developing confidence. The dance factory is unlike any other dance school in the area and holds a special place in my heart. If I still lived in the area, my daughter would be attending The Dance Factory without a doubt. Dianne, the owner is inspiring and will lift up your child and push them to be the best they can be. The Dance Factory will without a doubt become your child’s escape and safe haven.

I can say with ease that being apart of The Dance Factory family was an experience that truly shaped my life. Dancing here for 10 years has taught me not only how to dance with excellence and beauty but has also taught me so many more impactful life skills. Here, I learned of dedication and self confidence, as well as communication within a team. In addition I was taught how to take corrective criticism, and developed what it takes to be a good person in this world. This credit is due to Miss Dianne, who has never failed to make each day I danced a day of learning made fun. I have never had a teacher (even in school) that has took the time to teach each and every student with such a great attitude. Dancing here made me comfortable to come out of my shell and truly grow as a person. Dianne is such a hard-working and compassionate woman that truly cares about her students and has pushed us to be the best version of ourselves every day. No other dance studio in the area can really compete with the true value of learning that continues to come from Miss Dianne’s instruction at The Dance Factory❤️

Wonderful show

The concert was AMAZING!!!!!❤️

Kylie Veldman

Dance is a place where I can find myself and lose myself all at the same time. it's my home away from home, my sunshine on a cloudy day. Dance is my escape from reality if only for a few hours. ❤️ I will never stop dancing. The Dance Factory is my favorite place to be. The love in that wonderful place is immense. I have so many amazing friends that I dance with and to me, it feels like one big happy family! Miss Dianne is the most wonderful ballet teacher ❤️ the Dance Factory will forever be in my heart.

Kristen Nannariello

We do not recommend the beginner classes. Now with another studio and realizing how little direction the student are given and how little fun they were allowed to have. Too much time spent on trying to get the little kids (3yr olds) to focus rather than encouraging a postive and engaging session to encourage passion and desire to be there. Honest reviews on Facebook end up getting attacked and then deleted by the studio owner.

Wendy Stokna

As a child I loved to dance, and The Dance Factory was where I spent the majority of my time dancing and learning to lead, teach and choreograph. Now, 30+ years later, while I do not formally practice dance, I carry it in my heart always, and have self-confidence that I would not otherwise have, due to the opportunities provided to me by Dianne. The balance, stamina, flexibility and muscle memory developed in dance have also provided life-long health benefits to me. I would highly recommend Dianne and The Dance Factory for students who would like to learn to dance, have some fun, challenge themselves, and grow in ways that would otherwise be unimaginable.

I have been a student of Ms. Dianne and The Dance Factory for over 5 years now. I really love Ms. Dianne. She is like a second mother to me and all my dance friends. She is kind and patient. She pushes us to be our best. She cares so much about our dance family. She has taught me that I can accomplish anything if I'm willing to put in the effort. She has taught me to never give up. She encourages healthy life habits and helps us take care of our minds and bodies. I'm very proud that my years of dance have helped me to be strong, healthy and happy. The dance studio is like our second home. I call it my happy place. Its always warm and cozy in there. I know everyone thinks their dance teacher is the best, but mine actually is! Besides all the things she does for her students, she is also a great friend to animals and donates a great deal to local shelters. I remember when my dog died and I still wanted to go to dance class that night. My parents tried to make me feel better, but nothing was working. Ms. Dianne knew exactly what to say to make me feel better and I will never forget that. If you are reading this and you are looking for a place for your child to learn dance and more, please go see my Ms. Dianne at The Dance Factory of Saratoga Springs. She has helped me to be the best person I can be! I hope everyone gets to have a teacher like her in their lives.

Loved the show

Melanie Bourgeault

The Dance Factory provides an incredibly nurturing learning environment for students of all levels. Dianne goes above and beyond to provide performance opportunities in and around Saratoga and supports leadership opportunities at an early age. I am continuously amazed how Dianne grows The Dance Factory each year and I am proud to say I have had the opportunity to dance under her instruction. If you are looking for a safe and welcoming learning space for you and your family I would highly recommend The Dance Factory to anyone in the area.

Dianne was a wonderful teacher. I was really nervous, because I have two left feet, but she made me feel so comfortable. She was very kind and patient. Definitely recommend!

I danced with Dianne for 10 years, and even came back to do a few more shows with her after graduating high school. Dianne by far changed the way I thought and still think about dance. I started with her when I was 8. I had danced at a few other studios around Saratoga, and nothing compares to The Dance Factory. Dianne is a fantastic teacher, with all the patience in the world. She is compassionate, supportive and understanding. She helps you find your limit without pushing you too far. Dianne makes class fun and taught me never to settle. Dianne cares about her dancers and their families, she loves what she does and it shows. Some of my best dance memories are at her studio, I would highly recommend The Dance Factory.
