Great place! Super great teachers. Loved that they offered so many different forms of art. Lots of options. At first glance Mooresville Arts Partnership looked like a charming... but pretty small building but upon being inside the building I realized it’s a lot bigger! All in all, had a great experience and highly recommend taking classes here.
My daughter takes tumble here. I appreciate how hard the staff is working to safely provide lessons during this time. She loves it and its nice to have something normal again.
I have always loved the Mooresville Arts Partnership. 10 years ago MAP opened and my competitive dancing career began. In those ten years I have learned so much. I’ve grown not only as a dancer but also as a person. Each teacher I had always made sure they were moving my abilities forward and when something wasn’t working they’d find another way to present or teach it. From vocal lessons to tap dancing MAP has it all in a very fun and welcoming environment. Everyone who works here cares about your arts education and you can tell. MAP is truly open for the community and they are very understanding. MAP gives opportunities and experiences other places simply cannot. If you want a place that truly cares about your children’s dance, art, theatre, or vocal training then i highly recommend the Mooresville Arts Partnership. Thank You for the experiences and thank you mom for opening this business it truly inspired and created who I am today!
Wonderful teachers and staff! We are very happy here. My granddaughter has been taking art lessons for a little over 2 years and has started dance in the last 6 months. The teachers are well trained in their fields and know how to work with children. We have had the best experiences at MAP.
I had a lot of fun at MAP! Made the best friends ever and the teachers were absolutely incredible. Also my teamates were awesome! I miss dancing there, all the weekends at competition and the classes... number 1 dance school!
We’re really missing tumble and dance classes. Looking forward to getting to back to the studio in the fall. Sending love to all the folks at MAP!
Happy to have found a place for my daughter to learn dance. Shes really likes her instructor and cant wait for class each week.
We are very happy with our piano lessons. Staff is friendly and helpful.
I enrolled my 4 year old in tumbling, Rosemary, the owner, suggested I get the package $200 for 5 months. That included the recital outfit and 2 tickets. Tonight after only 6 classes, I asked for the remainder of my money back. That was even after complaining about the 2 so called instructions for the tumbling class. The entire staff is VERY unprofessional and obviously not passionate about what they are being paid to do. The instructors were rough with the children when they touched them, were not encouraging, did not have manners and refused to learn the students names. After complaining to Rosemary about how I observed the instructors being, the only thing that changed was they started taking attendance, even then, they didnt call any of the students by their name. They called them by what was on their clothes. I DO NOT recommend anyone sending their child there no matter if it is good prices. The price is not worth how the way my child was treated.
Love this place! My daughter has so much fun!!
I know through this whole pandemic things were off but I left for voicemails with no response. I think out of courtesy I would’ve at least gotten a phone call saying they were closed open whatever.
The instructors for tumbling need classes on how to instructor children. What a huge disappointment this turned out to be for the whole family! SMH!!!
Do NOT join theater group! The teacher (Ms. Rosemary) picks out bad roles for people with tons of potential!
Just walking into the building and seeing all the trophies lets you know that your in good hands. The staff are amazing at what they do. My daughter loves her dance and tumble coaches. Looking forward to having my daughter on team next year.
Affordable and professional. My granddaughter loves her class and her teachers.
My daughter loves dancing at MAP. This is the start of our 3rd dance season. They put the dancers first and offer many different styles of dance.
My grand daughter loves going here to dance. Last year was her first and I went to her recital. It was obvious how much you cared about all your students and how well prepared they were for their performances.
My children were enrolled in dance, but I had to cancel the classes. While I was there, I heard one of the instructors screaming at the students. I sent an email asking to unenroll but the money was taken from my account. I was told in an email that I would receive a refund check by mail - $110- it has been 4 months (2/6/17) since that email. I still have not received my refund.
Nice place to dance. Daughter really likes it. Like family.
My daughter danced at MAP competitively for a season and grew as a dancer thanks to the teachers. The business and owner is terribly disorganized. We didnt know until the last minute what was going on. The dancers wouldnt receive their costumes until the night before a competition, so if there were problems with it, oh well. For parents that have never been involved with a competitive team, you would be really lost. Things were not told or written in a manner that was easily understood. If you asked questions to the owner she would always have an excuse, and then she gets upset with you when you ask those questions. Forget about having an opinion about anything. Youll have a bullseye on your back and then told that for the next season that you wouldnt be able to be at the studio while my dancer practices or in the dressing rooms at competions while getting ready. Even though I paid her over $5500 for the last season and it would have been even more this upcoming season. Its not listed on their websites anywhere that on top of the monthly unlimited tuition of $115 a month, if your dancer does a solo, duet or trio, its an extra $50 per month. It also doesnt state anywhere that you will have to pay anywhere from $980 for a competition solo, and anywhere from $650-$450 PER competitive dance your child is in. That not not include the $125 for a warm up suit that my dancer didnt even receive until the season was almost over, the traveling, hotel costs, food costs to go to OH and FL, required make-up, and hair accessories and styling products, the required MAP shirts that students are required to where for certian things. This is all separate cost from the monthly tuition fees. Youll also have to go and buy all black leotards, shirts, shorts, etc bc thats what the teams have to practice in. We estimated that we paid over $6500 last season. This is also a very small studio and competition team and they dont do as well as other studios at the competions. The parents all talk behind the owners, and other parents back. Its really just an unhealthy environment for all involved. With that being said because my daughter made friends there and loves to dances with her whole heart, we were completely devastated when conditions were put on her parent for her to dance there as mentioned above. So, needless to say, my dancer chose of her own free will that she did not want to dance at a studio that treated her parent that way, and I, as her parent thought it was completely unfair, and a biased decision. So, if you can handle disorganization, spending thousands and thousands of dollars to dance competitively, like not getting information or the correct information, like not being able to have an opinion about anything, not having any free time time, and like drama, this place is for you. The only good thing I can say about this place is that the instructors are great, and your dancer will make some friends. Good luck on your decision.
Pros: My daughter has enjoyed going here, the price of classes doesnt break your wallet, my daughter is getting exposed to all kinds of art.Cons: As a parent MAP is so frustrating. I never know what is going on or where/when my daughter needs to be, until the last minute. In general things at MAP are terribly disorganized.If the teachers would take time at the beginning of the classes to explain expectations, important dates, etc. it would help. A bulletin board of sorts in the lobby would help announcing important dates.That being said I appreciate the time all the volunteers at MAP put in.
Friendly staff. Knowledgeable and work with payments
I love it here
