Turning Pointe Academy of Dance Maryville Il

Wonderful Dance Studio!

My 13 year old daughter started dancing at Turning Pointe Academy of Dance (TPAD) when she was 3. We chose TPAD after researching and trying some other summer dance camps. I felt that TPAD was the best choice because it is a non-competitive environment, the full-time instructors have dance degrees therefore are teaching proper form and technique, and most importantly for our family is the fact that they want little girls to look like little girls. The costumes, performance make-up and choreography are all age-appropriate at TPAD, which is not the case at many other studios. We also love the variety of classes and performance opportunities that TPAD provides, including a wonderful production of The Nutcracker! My daughter has made wonderful friends and grown so much in the nurturing atmosphere at this studio. Highly recommend!

Warranty service

Rick’s service department was terrific after purchase in April 2019 (Tech - Darryl) and also during our first return visit for warranty work in November. Diane (service writer) and Pat (Tech) did a thorough and quick turn around once all parts were received from manufacturer(s). Diane kept us up to date on where our unit was in the process and what the next steps would be. They completed everything that was requested and were a pleasure to work with.
