My daughter has been dancing at this studio for five years and has been on the competitive team for three. She has loved it from her first day. She loves the encouragement, teachers and training she has received here. They have made incomparable positive impacts on her not only as a dancer but as a person too. When Covid 19 closed down the studio the online classes were in full swing very quickly and their quality training continued. My daughter will definitely miss this studio as she is a senior this year but will be back to visit as often as she can.

Allegro is absolutely amazing!! I would recommend this studio to anyone. Tonya and her staff have been truly outstanding during this pandemic to keep all the dancers and their families motivated and dancing and just trying everything they can think of to make this as normal as possible. I have never seen someone who has tried harder to keep moving forward and to stay flexible with each new challenge that comes their way. Way to go Allegro!!

Allegro is a great dance company that has taken my 7 year old daughter in and made her, my wife, and I feel at home. Teacher Emily is amazing with all of the children. My daughter takes Ballet & Tap as well as Hip-Hop/Jazz with Teacher Emily.Allegro is quick to communicate via email or phone and they responded extremely quickly on response to Covid-19 and set up and online environment to keep my daughter dancing weekly! Combining Zoom for live & YouTube recorded sessions for self practice.My daughter will attend Allegro for as long as were in the area. I highly recommend you bring your children here! They also offer one free trial class!Thank you for everything Allegro!

We love Allegro! Our daughter has been dancing here since she was 3 and the quality of the studio and its staff is absolutely amazing. The current climate has been difficult and they have handled it with so much grace and have made sure all of the students have been able to keep dancing. We highly recommend the studio to anyone interested in dipping their toes into the dance world.

We have been at Allegro for 4 years now, and while we have always loved it, they have really gone above and beyond during the COVID situation. They are consistently making sure that dancers have access to regular classes, teacher feedback, additional classes and fun little breakout classes as well. They’ve been very responsive and have kept us all very well informed on everything that is happening. We love Allegro and can’t wait for regular classes to resume so we can see all our friends and teachers!

We love Allegro! My 7 year old daughter has been attending Allegro for 4 years. The teachers are professional but kind and nurturing at the same time. My daughter has grown so much in her dancing and is developing into a well disciplined young lady, which I believe Allegro played a huge part in.During the Stay Home Stay Heathy Order, the Allegro went above and beyond to stay connect with the students and continue to provide high quality dance instruction. They have stayed connected from personal phone calls, weekly emails, and getting feedback from families. Mostly, though, I appreciate that every single one of my daughters teachers started with just connect with the class and sharing how important they are with them. Thank you, Allegro, for making a crazy time less crazy!

Allegro has been amazing during the Covid19 pandemic. Studio owner Tonya, was quick to offer on-line classes to students, financial reprieve to those families that needed it, and a continued support and pay her teachers. Tonya demonstrated an enormous amount of grace, commitment and patienceto her students and families during during this time. Thank you Tonya!

My son has Autism and they offer a DanceAble class that he thoroughly enjoys. It is well organized and all the kids are accommodated, regardless of their disabilities. They are all given equal time and attention by very compassionate, caring, and attentive teachers.

Allegro always has dancer health and safety as one of their top priorities while still providing amazing training, mentoring and inspiration. They didnt miss a beat launching live classes for students and even opened up to other dancers whose studios had closed. Allegro, its coaches and students are my dancers second family! :-)

My kids have been dancing at Allegro for 11 years. I researched and luckily stumbled into Allegro after reading they were voted one of the best local studios. My son began, but once my daughter started dancing at Allegro, she fell in love, and we developed a new family and comprehensive training beyond compare! Allegro gives these kids a place to feel free to let go and dance! They offer so many styles and take even the youngest aspiring little boys and girls. My daughter is on team and has learned so much about dedication, team, love, self-love, determination, and emotional expression. AND during the Covid Pandemic, Allegro was there for all of their dancers!! They never wavered in being available for every single dancer in numerous different ways...for free. I am beyond happy to say that my daughter never stopped dancing!! Words dont describe how grateful we are for Allegro Performing Arts Academy!!

I cant say enough about the dedication of Allegro Performing Arts Academy to their dancers. Even during these tough times they didnt miss a beat and provided live classes for all students, and opened their trainings to other dancers as well. Allegro is my daughters second family, and we hold in strong until we can all see each other again in person. Thank you Tonya and all the Allegro coaches for going above and beyond everyday.

Family, that’s what you get in addition to amazing teachers/staff and phenomenal dance instruction. Allegro’s s dance family is welcoming to all who walk through the door regardless of their skill level or dance knowledge. The staff, parents, & kids are incredibly inclusive of all. We love the choice we made when selecting this dance studio 7 years ago.

Allegro not only provides the best dance education for my dancer, but the community of teachers and families is the BEST!!! Allegro expects all dancers to focus on technique, teamwork, performance, working hard, celebrating each other, and (of course) having fun. We are so happy we made the choice to dance at Allegro.

I have two daughters who dance at Allegro and I Can not say enough about this wonderful studio. This is a second home to my girls. The owner is positive, caring, knowledgeable and really gives her best to the students and the family’s! The teachers are amazing! My girls have grown from being there, and have so much respect for the teachers. The teachers truly care for the students give them there best.The office staff has always been kind and helpful.We’re so thankful to have Allegro especially during covid -19. The girls are still able to dance and see their teachers and friends over zoom. The studio continues to amaze me over this hard time we’re going through. Dance is a way for them to let out there energy and feelings while going through covid.

This studio is our family. We drive 20 miles from our home to train here & it’s worth sitting in traffic for! If you have a student with a love of dance & want to take their training to the next level, don’t walk, run to this studio!

My daughter has been here for years. This is definitely a place of love, support and trust. These teachers have taught my daughter so many life lessons on top of the incredible training that there is no way I could change dance studios. Ever. Ricki-lyn, Tonya, Megan and Sara have all made some sort of impact on my dancer and have made her a better person. I cant thank them enough for all that they have done for our family. On top of that the families here are amazing and make it that much more enjoyable for our family.

Review №28

My kids danced at allegro for almost 6 years and they loved the place we did too, until we decided to choose one of what they called “the best teacher that they have in there”, well I wish I wouldn’t have done that, it was a huge mistake, otherwise my kids would be still there, this teacher was extremely rude and disrespectful to my daughter and to myself too, and at the end of the class she didn’t even apologize to my daughter or me, after the incident I reached out to the owner by email, and what my surprise was that the owner didn’t even care for how my daughter felt, she didn’t even bother to keep us as customers and I mean we never interact with her she didn’t even knew us, she took the the teachers side, my daughter felt humiliated by this teacher, she aggressively grabbed my daughter by her arm in front of the whole class, I bit my tongue and I hold myself to not act the same way she was because they were little kids in the studio, but she didn’t care, she doesn’t have education nor respect tours the students nor even the parents, how can the owner didn’t care for how my daughter felt?!?or at least fix the issue?!? Why would you have this type of business where the most important person there are the children?!? Teachers name is Ricky Lynn, don’t have your children take classes with her she has no patients with kids she knows only how to deal with the teenagers.. I thought the owner was highly professional but no it was the opposite, this place only focus on the kids that are on competitions, the kids that are not in the competitions don’t count..The environment in this place doesn’t feel like a second home for the kids and also for the parents.

Allegro is one of the biggest reasons I have gotten to be where I am today. The teachers, students, and family I have grown close to over the past 6 years have made me happier and healthier than I have ever been in my life. Tonya Goodwillie, the owner of the studio, has fostered a wonderful home away from home. Its a safe, caring environment that teaches respect, empathy, dedication, grit, and love.

My daughter has been performing at Allegro Performing Arts Academy since she was 3 and she loves it. It is truly like a second home to her and the rest of our family. Her dance instructors are all professional and fun, not to mention really talented in their own right. Not only does the owner Tonya Goodwillie help her teachers to continue their education, but she also brings in other teachers and choreographers to help her students be more rounded dancers. My daughter is also a dancer on both Vivo and Effect competition teams. Being on team gives her a solid dance foundation, helps build confidence, and provides her with a lifelong love of dance.

Allegro teachers are incredibly kind while also pushing their dancers to reach their full potential. The office staff is always willing to help. They have a system going that really works---always planning ahead with schedules far in advanced. This is so appreciated for being able to plan ahead for the year! The studio environment has so much to offer for kids and teens that just want to dance as a side hobby or for those that want to take up the art professionally. I highly recommend it! If youre looking for the best, Allegro really is the top in the Seattle dance community.

Allegro Performing Arts Academy is a great place to take dance at any age or level. When you take classes at Allegro you are free to be yourself with no worry about being judged. If you want to begin dancing, dance recreationally, join the competition team or work toward dancing professionally, Allegro offers the support you need. They offer a wide variety of dance styles and also have classes in Musical Theater, Choreography, stretch and strength and flexibility. You can not go wrong becoming part of the Allegro family. The teachers are exceptional, helpful office staff and the adults and kids who dance here are supportive.

I have three daughters that started dancing at Allegro in 2009 and now my youngest is on their competition team. This studio is her home away from home!!

Review №38

My daughter has been dancing at Allegro for 10 months now and our experience has been wonderful. The space itself is great, with 6 large, flexible dance rooms and comfortable common areas. The studio offers a wide variety of classes on different styles and levels, so the dancers are constantly having opportunities to be challenged and to keep developing their technique. In addition to the regular classes, there are plenty of opportunities for those who want more than recreational dance, like an amazing competition team, a hip hop troupe, master classes and performance opportunities. The staff is always very helpful and efficient, teachers are great and attentive to the needs of individual dancers, constantly giving feedback and helping each dancer understand how they can improve and grow.For all these reasons, I recommend this studio for anyone who wants to learn and enjoy dance at its best!

We have been at Allegro for 6 years and cant say enough good things about this studio. Its professional, safe, friendly and fun. The teachers care about each and every student and the level of excellence is unsurpassed. I would recommend this studio to everyone near and far. We think it is the best dance studio in the Pacific Northwest and a top contender for the whole U.S.

My child has been dancing at Allegro for over 3 years now. It is one of the best decisions that I have made. I now have 2 of my children dancing at Allegro and they are both gaining confidence and respect along with incredible dance technique. The talented teachers and kind office staff are amazing, professional and organized. Our whole family appreciates the leadership of this studio and the positive atmosphere they work so hard to create.

The owner /manager is rude and selfish. She didnt even give me an hour to fix my truck before she had it towed.I had to walk with a heavy tire only too find it was all in vain because it wasnt fast enough. c She only cares about money and people with it. Not people in a different tax bracket. Now i cant afford to get it out because it was all i had too make money. Please dont be fooled....

I moved to this studio at the age of 13 and everyone was so excepting of me. The students all very kind with coming up to me the first day and introducing themselves! The teachers all care about you as a person along with how to help you grow as a dancer. And the environment there is really to learn and not judge which level your at. I love it here and will stay with allegro for a long time

Allegro is like a second home for my girls. The staff and students were so welcoming to my family when we switched to Allegro almost 2 years ago. Allegro has programs from beginning to advanced levels at any age. My girls especially love the student lounge where they can spend time with their friends and eat during breaks. #allegropride

Mistake after mistake. Their office is *incredibly* unorganized. No one knows what anyone is doing in that office. Theyve over charged us, made us fill out wrong forms, poor communication within the office amongst each other, they never told us what costume to get our daughter, etc, etc. The list goes on. Its kind of like a cattle lot in there....just pushing kids through with no quality instruction.
