I think they need to do a better job hiring more kid friendly dance instructors. My daughter attended the ballet class this summer with instructor Abby. My impression of her was that she was not very bubbly, welcoming, or perhaps just didnt want to be there. This is concerning for the age group she was teaching (3-5 year olds). No disrespect to her personally, but when you are teaching young children you need to be approachable and friendly. My daughter is on the shy side and seemed visibly scared of her. The school shouldve done a better job staffing accordingly.

We moved across country and found the Art Center. I began texting requesting information to make a decision about enrolling my kid. They were extremely prompt and helpful.

Moving from Miami to the Lake Asbury/Jacksonville area, I wasnt familiar with many of the local businesses, so finding the right dance studio for my daughter was very important to me. After doing a lot of research, I decided to visit Asbury Arts Center, and Im so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and truly family-oriented. I was given a tour of the studio and was impressed by the variety of classes and opportunities they offer for children of all ages and interests.

One thing I especially appreciated was the camera system, which allows parents peace of mind and creates a safe, secure environment for the students.

Choosing Asbury Arts Center was one of the best decisions I made after moving here. I highly recommend them to any parent looking for a caring, professional, and welcoming dance studio. I can proudly say Im now the happy mom of a hip-hop student!

My little one loves her ballet stars class. Staff is friendly and attentive. Answered all my questions and made the enrollment process quick and easy. Very happy with how they prioritize childrens safety and privacy. Great way to get your littles out of their routine and socializing with kids their age. Definitely recommend!

We absolutely love Asbury Arts Center! My daughter ballet and it has been the most wonderful experience for her. The teachers are incredibly patient, kind, and so good with little ones. They make the classes fun while still teaching real skills, and my daughter looks forward to every single class

Mr. Marty has been great at teaching and helping my son to perfect his craft! He has come so far! I look forward to many more years!

Ever since we have moved to Florida 2 1/2 years ago Asbury arts studio has been a positive place for my daughter to go to. They have all types of dance to fit everyone's style! And the teachers are all amazing role models! I can't give Asbury arts enough stars they given my daughter confidence beyond and much more! I recommend Asbury arts to everyone who wants to try dance music or etc!

Asbury Arts was the perfect fit for my children when we found the need to search for a new studio. The dance instructors are knowledgeable and genuinely like working with children. I especially like the many different classes that are offered which accommodate all ages and skill levels.

My daughter loves Asbury Arts. We use their after school program from LAE and she's on the competition team. She has gained many friendships and so much confidence this past year being a part of their program! The staff, parents, and dancers that are involved are wonderful!

I love teaching here, and being a member of the Asbury Arts Center team. All of our students are great! Wonderful work environment.

Owner as well as staff members were very very rude and unprofessional. I am a 63 year old grandmother that is involved in my granddaughter's activities. I love to watch her in every chance I can. I accidentally walked into the wrong room to watch her and boy was that a mistake. They told me I was not allowed to watch her anywhere in the building, if I did want to watch her I would have to go stand out back in the 96 degree weather and watch thru a dirty window.

The only reason I can think they are doing this is because of the size of the building about 20'w x 40'L. And the price that I pay (which is very high) she will NOT be coming back. They also run a very very small "after school program" (which it is called that to get away with all the state regulations) and I know I would not want this type of attitude around my children. I know if I owned a business I would have handled this situation much different and told her I was sorry for walking in that room. With this type of customer service I do not see them being in business very long. God Bless

Our 3 year old has been going here for over a year now. She started with the Rockin Tots class and is now in Ballet Stars. The teachers are amazing! So patient and great with the little ones!

Love Asbury Arts! My son was in Rockin Tots and has cried every week when I tell him he has to wait until August to start up again! I shopped around as I had danced from 2-17 and am so glad I found a place that Hunter enjoys so much and they are super patient with his rambunctious little self.

My daughter is 6 and love this place. She takes 1 dance class now but, she loves it so much we are going to 2 classes a week now. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable and is always there to help. Thanks!!!

AAC lets me express myself in the way that I want; a physical dancer and a person wanting to succeed. I love being in the company here and everything about AAC makes me feel like it's my 2nd family.

I love AAC because when I lose my confidence, it helps me find it. I am in the Prism Dance Company. I am here about 8.5 hours/week and I never get enough!

Asbury Arts Center is such an exceptional studio. Knowing that the training is top-notch, I feel ready to take on the world. I love it so much that I end up taking as many classes as humanly possible! This year I take ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop and another form of expression: piano!
