I love this studio! I started ballet classes as an adult beginner when my kids were taking classes…read more Elena is a fantastic teacher and genuinely cares about each of her students. The small class sizes mean personal attention and getting to know fellow students. The environment is supportive while also enourgaging you to challenge yourself. Taking classes twice a week has kept me in shape and I've progressed past where I had ever imagined starting as an adult with no previous ballet training. There are performances twice a year for those who would like to participate and always a lot of fun and gives students a goal to work towards and to demonstrate what they've learned. I am so glad I found this place!

Such a great dance studio with amazing instructors! Beginning to advanced- all levels are included!…read moreTheir instructors really help break down the steps, moves, etc to help you know the basics of each type of dance. You can learn salsa, samba, Lindy hop, jazz, contemporary, to even Bollywood! The pricing is reasonable and parking is available on their lot and on the street. Can't wait to keep learning from some of my favorite instructors!!

For a dance studio, they do have a good amount of positives…read more They offer an average price of $18 for a drop-in class (whether it's for adults or youth classes). The instructors try to be inclusive and are consistent (meaning they teach more than one class every week). They all have a wide range of dance experience and you will not be disappointed by their expertise. You will not find difficulty joining or building a community as there are a lot of regulars from the area that are nice. The building itself is spacious and rental prices seem to be good as well (minimum starting price is $20 an hour). The different spaces they have varies between 4 rooms (Warehouse and Studios A/B/C). There is a small lot and if that's full, there is a decent amount of street parking. It's close to the freeway entrance and plenty of food and other attractions around the area. However, with some positives also comes some areas to improve upon. With the limited parking and street parking, I would recommend coming at least 10-15min early to make sure you can arrive on time to class. Their system tends to be slow at times and you may miss the first 3-10 minutes of class trying to look for parking or wait due to slow check in times. The other focus is the variety of dance classes (in terms of competency levels and styles of dance). It seems that this studio focuses more on hip-hop, Salsa, and Contemporary classes being the most accessible (sprinkled with a couple of jazz, heels, and k-pop once a week). They have the same round of teachers and it would be nice to try different dance styles and genres. This studio definitely can continue to upgrade and grow more! Would try this place at least once and see if it's your vibe.

We booked an intro lesson + 5 lesson wedding package with Sho Harvey, and we had an incredible…read moreexperience! He made us feel very comfortable and was great at giving us feedback on areas of improvement. We really appreciated that he individually danced with both of us for more personalized instruction. He also cut our song for us, which meant one less thing for us to worry about! We weren't sure we would be able to learn a first dance in only 5 lessons, but he made what felt impossible become a reality! Thank you for everything!

Worth Every Mile of the Drive - Hands Down the Best Latin Dance Coach!…read more I live in Rancho Mirage (Palm Springs area), and I happily drive 2 full hours each way for private lessons with Nikolay -- and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Nikolay is an absolute gem: incredibly patient, highly skilled, and masterful at teaching complex Latin techniques in a way that finally makes sense to my body and brain. He breaks everything down clearly, uses perfect analogies and cues and even writes it down tailored to how I learn, and never rushes or makes me feel frustrated -- even when I need something repeated multiple times. What makes it even better is Maria, who guides me beautifully on the ladies part all those subtle details I need to polish elevated my dancing to a whole new level The studio itself is fantastic: spacious and perfectly conducive to learning, with plenty of room to move freely and focus without feeling cramped. The staff /Dance instructors ( Lenny Sho Rebekah )are so welcoming and friendly -- they make every visit feel warm and supportive from the moment you walk in. Best of all, this place truly has dance for everybody at all levels -- whether you're a complete beginner, intermediate, advanced, or even a professional looking to deepen your skills. They also cater to people with disabilities, making the experience inclusive and accessible for everyone. It's rare to find a studio this welcoming and adaptable

My daughters (and wife) have been taking dance classes at the school for a year. I just left the…read more100th anniversary performance. What a fantastic production. You can see the motivation of the students, motivation driven by a far more motivated owner/instructor - Emily. I had a front row seat, far right. Not an ideal seat for a show, but I was uniquely positioned because I could see behind the curtain. I could see Emily. Most of the time she had her typical serious demeanor. But every once in a while, I'd see a smile. It wasn't for anyone. No one was looking at her, the girls were performing. But in that moment, I could see her joy, her dedication, her passion. What a beautiful smile. And what joy she's given our daughters - and certainly to many others. I'd post a picture, but "NO PICTURES ALLOWED!"... so I don't have any. Highly recommended. Not just for the instruction, but equally for the love of the art.

I also love that the policy on masks is that they are allowed in class AND allowed in performances as long as they are of an appropriate style. So for the families where this is important, this is a place to go! There is plenty of parking around the studio and lots of different classes and times to choose from. You can watch the students dance from a tv in the waiting lobby. The staff is friendly and they provide you the costumes for each performance. The only thing that kind of bothers me is the very long flight of stairs that you need to walk to get to the studio but it just means I get to actually get some exercise in! lol

Really dislike how the teacher spends so much time talking about random things during the class…read moreinstead of focusing her time on teaching. I once timed her, and she spent 48 minutes of class time bragging and glorifying her old-day history! Plus people in the Chinese dance classes are obnoxious, trying to correct your moves on the side while bullying you. They pretty much act like they are the teacher! It's pretty messed up in this learning environment where the teacher doesn't teach and that the students trying to show off their mediocre dance skills I don't think I can tolerate this kind of toxic learning environment much longer. I'm planning to quit after their upcoming performance.
