We've been with Elite since 2016 between my two daughters, who both started dancing at age 3. Our…read moreoldest has moved on to other interests, but our 7-year-old continues with ballet and loves it. I've watched Elite grow from a smaller studio into the powerhouse it is today. Elite is an excellent dance studio, from day one through their very polished recitals. It's important to note that this is not a cutesy/playtime type of studio. Dance is a discipline, and so dress code and presentation are taken seriously. For first-timers, that might feel a little intimidating, but there's a reason behind it. Hair and makeup need to be spot-on for recitals, because there's always a chance your cute 3 or 4-year-old might get on stage and just stand there! But guess what? They'll look fantastic doing it. And then, year after year, you'll see their confidence and ability grow. As a parent, you will need to stay on top of recital packets to know who/what/where/when, and I find Elite to be very thorough in the material they send out, or if you simply call them ahead of time. Another perk.. they have a professional photographer who takes photos on stage and backstage at shows/recitals for FREE. As well as a videographer, which is very much appreciated. The owner, Toni, taught my oldest years ago and is fantastic, both as a teacher and as a business owner. Neither of my girls have ever been on team, but both have always enjoyed their classes. The teachers are wonderful with age-appropriate instruction (shout out to Miss Princess with the littles) and technique. My 7-year-old only takes one ballet class currently, yet she could not be more excited to be performing in The Nutcracker for her second year in a row. Needless to say, we love Elite!

My daughter has taken three trial classes and two classes we've committed to, thus far. She's 9 and…read moretruly new to dance. For my daughter, we were concerned initially that due to her age but inexperience, she would have to learn with kids who were much younger than her (like three years younger than her or even more)... after her hip-hop trial, she was discouraged because she was a lot older than the other kids and yet much more inexperienced. But we expressed that to the studio and they responded so gracefully and found the perfect class for her where there are kids her age, but they are also new-ER to dance as well and my daughter is totally happy and we are loving the classes and teachers thus far. The studio has been so accommodating and very communicative and helpful! The teachers are awesome too, and you can feel the spirit of dance and creativity there. I'm hopeful about our journey there and my daughter's own journey with dance. I think if there's any place that could get her hooked to dance, it's this place.

The dance teacher was often late. We were charged around $50 for a costume for the recital and our…read morechild was given used clothes from a tote that did not match her peers. When we addressed this with the owner she offered no remedy. During the dance recital another parent physically assaulted our child by grabbing her arm and the dance studio did little to nothing to address this and wouldn't even provide concrete info about who assaulted our child. That parent should have been removed from the facility. We will be filing charges. The studio owner was rude and indignant. I would NOT recommend you use this studio unless you want to pay a bunch of money for your child to learn next to nothing and then be charged for used and raggedy clothes (we had to have our daughter wear her outfit from last year from a different studio despite being charged). The staff will speak disrespectfully to your children and make no efforts to address concerns. They also charge $20 a ticket to go to your child's recital and won't let you record because they want you to pay for their recording. I'm disgusted that my child was put in old used clothes, treated horribly by staff, and assaulted at her recital with no action taken. Your child is not safe at this studio. They don't care about the safety and well-being of their students. They only care about getting as much money as they can without providing hardly any actual instruction.

My fiancé and I decided to take some couple's dance lessons here in the month leading up to our…read morewedding. We were already down to the wire in terms of timing, but the manager, Stephanie, was so incredibly kind and accommodating. We worked with Any and she was so sweet and patient with us. She choreographed a beautiful first dance for us in a very short amount of time. We started with a package of 3 lessons, and ended up adding a couple more at the end because, well, we were pretty terrible lol, but it all worked out. The studio is open pretty late (until like 9pm or later) and there's plenty of parking in front and in back. The only thing I didn't like is that you share the studio space with others, or sometimes a class, so you have to share the music and sometimes have to maneuver around people, which can throw you off a little.

They've created such an incredibly welcoming and fun environment that makes dancing not only approachable but genuinely, and truly enjoyable. VIVRE offers a variety of group classes that are all a blast-filled with great energy, laughter, and the chance to meet wonderful people. I've learned many great techniques and dance moves, and I'm honestly blown away by the growth I've experienced thanks to their guidance. Sam has a way of explaining things so it actually makes sense, and Vivian brings such warmth and encouragement to every single class. Together, they've transformed something that once felt impossible into one of the highlights of my week. Thank you, Vivre! I can't recommend them enough!

Just to be fair, I can't say much about their dance classes, but I can speak about their customer…read moreservice: I got a Dealfind voucher for me and my boyfriend and it was a great deal! ($39 for 24 dance classes!) The voucher hasn't expired yet so I called to make reservations for classes. They told me that the instructor is no longer there so they can no longer honor my voucher and that I should request a refund with Dealfind. I don't understand why they can't just have another instructor teach the dance classes. Don't they want our business? I'm very disappointed because I wanted to learn ballroom dancing.

I found Dance by Butalia from a mutual friend. I decided to do a trial class for my son to learn…read moreBhangra. Bhangra is a type of popular music combining Punjabi folk traditions with Western pop music. Me being Punjabi never really learned how to do Bhangra hence when I go to Indian weddings and parties I'm left out because I don't know what I'm doing. :( I wanted my son to learn his culture and also learn something new and embrace the culture. My son has been doing this for almost a year now and I can honestly say how impressed I am with his skills. Shailee and Simran who are the instructors are so patient, they are kind and they really are great teachers. The prices are reasonable and they offer class 2x a week at the California Dance Academy for 1 hour. My son just performed 2 performances on stage in front of large crowds and he did an amazing job. The whole Dance by Butalia are a great team and they come together and really have some impressive moves. The age range is 4 and up I believe so it's a good mix of younger and older kids. I am so happy and my Family and I couldn't be more proud. We are so thankful we found Dance by Butalia. So glad to be a part of the Dance by Butalia Family and I highly recommend anyone who wants to dance and have a good time to come here. The biggest thing for me is the confidence I see in my son when he is out there performing.It's not easy to do what they do. I'm super grateful for the instructors that they motivate all their students to go out there and be the best that they can be and just have fun!!! Move over Soccer Mom..I'm a proud Bhangra Mom!!!

Our daughter spent the last 5 years dancing on the competition teams and taking unlimited classes…read moreat Dance Dimensions PAC. She absolutely LOVED it. They brought in numerous guest artists to teach master classes, had professional photo shoots with the company dancers, had talented and patient instructors and choreographers, and she was always treated with care and understanding by the owners and staff. Her senior year was particularly wonderful as she was able to lead her team, clean routines, perform at her favorite conventions/competitions, and even choreograph her own senior solo. She felt so loved, appreciated and celebrated at the Company Recital that featured the seniors. Dance Dimensions was her home away from home. It was a safe place for her to grow as a dancer and thrive as she became a young adult. We highly recommend this studio!

From the very beginning, they have embraced my daughter with open arms, and the supportive, positive energy throughout the studio is exactly what any parent could wish for their child. The confidence, joy, and encouragement they give the kids is unmatched, and it shows in the way my daughter has grown both as a dancer and as a person. The only thing I wish for is a slightly stricter sick policy, as classes can get quite busy, but that doesn't take away from how grateful we are for everything this studio does. Dance Dimension has been a second home to my daughter, and we are so thankful for the love and positivity they pour into every student. Highly recommend!

This is such a lovely dance studio! There are a couple of parking spots in the small lot where the…read morestudio is located and if those are taken, free street parking can easily be found in the neighborhood. I have been to several classes here but have only taken pole choreo classes, so I'm not sure how the pole tricks classes are. All of the teachers I've taken from here have been wonderful and they do an amazing job of breaking down all of the moves and teaching any tricks that are incorporated into the dance. I have learned how to create more fluidity in my dances here. The space is on the smaller side as there is only one studio inside, but the poles are spaced far enough apart that you don't feel claustrophobic in a full class. The lobby is also great and comfortable to wait in and they sell some apparel and shoes there. Everyone has been so friendly and welcoming here, from the students to the teachers.

I was surprised at how much we learned during the hour and fifteen minute class. Even the basics were quite the sweat session but in the best way ever.

I'm planning to go back some time in the next few weeks to hopefully continue to take more new face courses just for fun. Only drawback was parking- it's very limited and since it's near Gasolina cafe it's a popular spot so make sure to come early enough to find a spot.
