    If I could give IDA 10 stars, I would certainly do that. How dissapointing reading the last two negative reviews. As a parent that has been at the studio for 4 years I can assure all new prospects and parents this is by far, the BEST ballet studio in South Florida. My review is 100% genuine. My daughter is 7 years old and has been at the studio since she was 3 years old with the same dance instructors, same families, same friends, same policies and procedures. As an owner of two large preschool facilities in SouthFlorida, I have always stressed the importance of "quality" at my centers or any center that serves young children. "Quality" is defined by one word, PASSION. When there is passion, there is vocation, a natural ability to deliver a service with love and affection. Mrs Mary, the owner, is the perfect example, what an inspiration and privilege to have our little girls exposed to such talent and gift she has! Every instructor, including the owners Mrs Mary and Mrs Debbie,the families, the students, ALL make this place such a wonderful place for our children. Because there is passion, genuine vocation, high standards, ethical and professional values, and more importantly "attention to detail" to deliver a top quality ballet program for our children. As parents, we have a choice, the choice to select which program represents the best fit for our children. Unfortuanately today, our society face the sad reality where many parents rush to take decision without researching or taking their time to assess quality, and ask all questions necessary PRIOR to exposing their children to a program. IDA is a professional ballet studio with high standards and expectations. Prices and specific details are given with time and precision, and no hidden information or surprise-last minute fees has ever been experienced. That is NOT true. But i tell you what it is true. The studio offers a structured, well defined traditional classical ballet program for those selective parents that look for consistent discipline, talent, and more importantly long term friendships among the students. There is a fine line between "using a stern" tone of voice when disciplining children, and "yelling". The instructors Do NOT yell, they discipline their students with respect and assertion. But, if you are looking for a dance studio where students run around without proper supervision and loud, then this is not the place for your child. Re-direction has been the discipline approach chosen by this center, modeling postive behavior to its students and families. I respect everyone's opinion, but I cannot tolerate parents that take one second of their time to offend, and create false statements about a business that has no other intention than making a positive impact and difference in young childrens' lives. Take your time to visit and tour this wonderful facility, you won't be dissapointed. Attend one of their two shows at the Coral Springs Performing Arts every year, and experience the "reality" of IDA by yourself.
