I wouldn't recommend Brooklyn Dance Academy to a friend. My daughter was enrolled in the 2 year old…read moreSaturday morning class at 10a. I wouldn't recommend BDA for the following reasons: 1. The kids practice the same exact thing every weekend, same songs, same dances, with no variety at all. I would expect some sort of lesson plan that repeats every 2/4 weeks or something of the sort. After some time my daughter was no longer engaged in the classes and didn't even want to go to dance class because it wasn't exciting or engaging. 2. For months the classes would start 5/10 minutes late and end 5 minutes early. This was quite frustrating considering it was only a 30 minute class. I spoke to the owner about this issue and classes started to last 25 minutes instead. However, I would expect this to be the standard, not something that's only corrected with complaint. 3. Classes are canceled on short notice, today with less than an hour notice to class start time (and rather frequently). Yes a make up class is allowed mid week but some of us can't make class during weekdays. 4. Myself and a few other people arrived 15 minutes early for their first class only for no one to be at the front desk to help. I personally spoke with the owner the week of my daughter's first class and she said she would be in to help with the process. She was no where to be found and parents were calling the owner to figure out how to help onboard us. No hard feelings here, I just expect more professionalism and will continue elsewhere if my daughter would like to participate in dance again.

The instructors and the owner care deeply about the dancers and are always working to ensure the dancers are developing in a safe and fun way.

Every teacher is incredibly skilled and equipped to be a dance teacher. The studio has a healthy environment in every aspect. My daughter has already grown so much both in skill and in confidence.

We have been a part of this wonderful studio for performance arts for the past 8 years. It has…read moremeant so much to both of my girls as both dance student and employee. Both girls have grown in maturity and grace under the direction of Ms. Sandra and Ms. Ariel, co-owners. Focus is placed on development of the whole person at PAE. Each one is treated with dignity and value not just in what the studio can gain from the dancer enrolled, but also in what the individual student can gain for his or herself. Dance technique is a major focus but so is working towards being a better person in lots of ways (ie. commitment, work ethic, and kindness). My girls are genuinely loved and this has benefited not only them, but our whole family. Many kinds of dance is offered here (call for specifics) from basic/beginner instruction to advanced. A recital is given in June to show off to family and friends each dancers hard work. They offer a Troupe that performs for community and charity events as well as a competition Company (by audition) for the more serious dancer. Emphasis is given to each Company member supporting and encouraging their fellow dancers while working towards and exhibiting each one's personal best. If you are looking for a family-friendly studio that has high standards, is modest as well as contemporary, Performing Arts Empire is worth investigating. We have been very blessed and it was a wonderful experience for our family.

All three shows are well thought out, organized, beautiful costumes, amazing volunteers. It's a great studio. I'm glad we found Miss Denise.

I wasn't sure what to expect and actually thought the venue would be smaller. The theater is located in the Corona civic center close to the police station and city hall. There are plenty of parking in on the streets and also int he civic center. You can park there on weekends which is a plus. The cast is so talented and range from ages 8 to 18 all from local schools in the area. The set design was amazing and transported you to the slums of NY in 1899. Costumes and makeup were a hit, too. I thought that adults were also in the play but it was just make-up. The transformations of these kids was pretty cool to see. The singing and dancing was perfection too. You can tell these kids worked hard to put on a production like that. BRAVO! Inside the theater, they sell merchandise for each play and also snacks to enjoy during intermission. You can also buy grams to send to your favorite star in the show which I thought was pretty cool. Everyone working the concessions and doors were great. everyone was so friendly and welcoming to their space. They are having another show in July, Moana Jr. which I really want to go see. it will be my personal birthday gift for myself. Till next time CAT! NOTE: Make sure to bring a sweater even on a hot day. The theater gets really cold inside especially in the back corners.
