Worst experience i’ve ever had! Too many hidden fees. Too many fees! My child got injured there because instructors are not experienced or knowledgeable. The owner is mean to kids. Especially her own! Owner lies about everything! Stay away from this place if you know what is good for you and your family. There are plenty of Dance studios in the North Shore with excellent reputation. RDX needs to shut down and never do business in Dance again. Just a terrible place.

The best dancing studio in this area!!!

I went on Candy BURLESQUE classes and Iloved it!!!

Good atmosphere, great staff who are all friendly, knowledgeable, and motivational. If they can teach me to dance, they can teach anyone!

I highly recommend this studio! This is my dance story!
I want to start by saying the great amount of appreciation I have for this place and the people is so overwhelming. I started at the studio at 10 years old, looking for some dance lessons and to make a few friends, what I didn’t know is how much this studio would end up meaning to me. About two years into dancing with Candy and all my friends I was diagnosed with a rare nerve disease that truly took away my ability to dance. Candy said from that point on “ no worries hunny we will figure this out, we will always be here for you” these words from such a kind person at such a hard time gave me the peice of mind I needed as it was competition season and we had a comp. coming up in the next week or two. As an adult now I have faced so many medical issues, but as of recently have recovered and have gone back to the studio. I was welcomed with a warm hug and smiling friendly faces. Candy expressed how happy she was to welcome me back into this dance family! From then I have taken a few adult classes and thrived with her support and understanding of how my body works and has always accommodated my needs. I could not ask for a better community to be a part of! Working one on one with candy the last few weeks I have never felt stronger in my life and I feel so healthy! She has pushed me and made me feel unstoppable. I love going every week and will continue my dance career there! I highly recommend this studio to everyone!

Revive is the best dance school I've found for my daughter and we started in at one in Salem but it just was not the right fit. She has always had great experiences and loves her teachers. I've been going to Revive since it was Candy's Dance Academy and we are now celebrating 12 years with Revive. I cannot say enough good things about this dance school. I find their prices to be very fair and as a bonus I don't have any outrageous costume fees for my daughter's recital.
Candy has always shown great kindness to my daughter and my daughter is looking into being a teacher helper next year for the first time. The director Candy is a great teacher and very educated in her field. I also love how she always finds time to talk and mentor my child when she is having a hard time in school or if something is bothering her. That's being a great teacher.
My daughter has learned and grown so much in this studio not only in ability but confidence as well. I highly recommend Revive, none better.

Revive Dance Exchange has gone down hill fast. The owner Candy Dennis was just caught by a bunch of parents fraudulently charging credit cards, and lying to parents about an extra $25 fee for competitions, claiming they require an "admin fee". I just got off the phone with yet another dance studio that told me there is no such thing as a comp admin fee, just the regular competition fee. Literally no other studios ask for more than what is required for the competition (no more than $50 for group performances). Candy charges the $50 comp fee, plus an additional $25 admin fee. I'm assuming this goes right into her pocket. Tonight, I was charged $20 because she called a "mandatory practice" for competition. Mind you, I already paid for 39 weeks of dance, and all of our other classes are cancelled for this week. So why did I have to pay an extra $20 when I didn't even get what I paid for in the first place? Candy fraudulently charges people's credit cards, so I'd advise anyone that has given thier card info or check thier account regularly. The charges are coming up as being for a medical office and not a dance studio. Can you say fraud? Lastly, many dedicated families donated a ton of money for the new studio when it opened last year. Plaques were put on the wall aknowledging those who donated. Now they're being taken down because she's "partnering with someone next season." All of this families should be refunded. This place needs an investigation for sure.
