[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hills has the reputation as being the best. I sent DD there briefly (she did gymnastics on and off for a couple years) and they were good, but busy. The instruction seemed a little more personal and hands-on at nearby Dobre Academy. [/quote]

I don't have much experience with other places but my impression of Dobre (if it's the same one on Gaither Road) was opposite.

The older kids classes seems okay, meaning for elementary or middle school girls.

But for the classes younger than that, your experiences might vary depending on the teacher you have and the specific class.  I thought the age range for some of the classes weren't set up well and some of the classes were way too big for the number of instructors they had allotted.

I heard that a lot of the impressions I have about Dobre is similar to what others posted on Yelp, so there might be some truth to some of the reviews on Yelp.  But at the same time they do say that people tend to only write or post about negative experiences.[/quote]

Never heard of Prestons but been to Dobre and Dynamite.  Dynamite is very overpriced for what it is.  Its very disorganized and some of the instructors are plain nasty..  They often gossip about parents and kids.  Dobre used to be ok but they have had huge enrollment increases and do not have the space or instructors for that growth.  The place was also very smelly.  We often had 10-14 or more kids to a class and the boys instructors were not reliable, then left and the boys were bounced around to different classes/no consistency.  They only seemed to focus on team.  My child would have loved to continue but we gave up as it was not leading anywhere.[/quote]
