From the very first class I took, I met incredibly talented people who have become true friends. The community here is supportive, caring, and always uplifting. Dancing has become therapeutic for me, and thanks to this studio, I've even had the chance to experience what it feels like to dance on a world‑class stage through their amazing programs.

I feel so much healthier, and the community here is so friendly. There's a great variety of styles, and the overall environment is welcoming whether you're newer to dance or more experienced. There are so many amazing instructors, but I try to never miss a class with Hanna (hip-hop). Her energy is so high and positive that it's honestly therapeutic. She's an incredible teacher who breaks down choreography in a way that makes it feel doable, even when it's challenging. I also really enjoy Loups (hip-hop) -- he's hilarious, great for fundamentals, and somehow always drops the best life advice. Also a special shoutout to Elm (hip-hop), Yuki & Brooke (K-pop), Maoka (house), and Adrianna (jazz funk) -- their classes are so much fun as well. One thing I really appreciate is their community app where they post the class videos. It is so helpful for looking back to see your progress and figuring out how to improve. It's right next to a KBBQ spot with a tiny lot that fills up fast, so I recommend street parking. If you've ever wanted to learn how to dance, this is the place to start! First class is free!

Our daughter has been taking lessons here for three years and still going strong. It's not only a…read moreplace for kids (and adults) to take musical lessons but more like an environment that nurtures creativity. Other places will turn your child into a mindless instrument playing machine. This place gives artistic minds a giant playground to explore, create and grow. They allow students to not only hone their skills on their instrument of choice but also gives them the opportunity to write their own songs, try other instruments, showcase their talents at different venues in front of different people. The teachers here are awesome and talented. The director, Mrs. Lee is great! She's approachable, reasonable, sweet, generous and caring. Bottom line, I highly recommend Torrance Arts Academy!

I was rescheduled several times and when I came In there was No warm welcome and she didn't even confirm my name when I went for my trial session. The instructor was nice but super limited availability and i didn't really go over much technique in the trial compared to the last vocal training I had before. We also didn't get started until about 12 min into the trial lesson which was a paid 30 min session. My honest feedback is that there should be a quick client phone call to go over details and keep background and getting to know each other to a quick 3 min elevator pitch introduction because that took up paid time. I squeezed my hope for a positive interaction with reception when we finished and the lady in front hardly gave eye contact and wasn't naturally kind or welcoming. She scrambled to get me onboarded after I prompted her to get me signed up and she grazed over fees like I already knew everything even though we never went over any details about the academy. ( I did not ) Music is a fine art, I guess I was expecting to be ushered into the process with a little inspiration... the investment didn't feel worth it for me. The next day I read some of the reviews and the responses to them and was really turned off by what I saw. Honestly the 2nd star is only because it would have been really nice to work with Liz and Summer was nice on the phone when I spoke to her, but the energy was so heavy and dense in the onboarding process it really rubbed me the wrong way and I couldn't see myself coming to take lessons for the next 6 months.

Mestre Varal and Prof. Monica Harmonia are some of the wisest & greatest teachers you will meet. They are kind and welcoming while also challenging you to continually improve- in movement, music, language, and more. Having tried other forms of dance and movement, I really love capoeira because of its strong culture and community, and history as a practice of resistance. I feel that training in capoeira has made me stronger physically, mentally, spiritually, and creatively, and has led me to meet so many amazing people. I would highly recommend attending class at ArteLuta to anyone, no matter your background or skill level! There is a place for everyone :)

First of all, I really didn't know what to expect and I was a little nervous coming in the first day. But Brandi was super nice and is an amazing teacher!!! She breaks down all the moves step by step and teaches at a perfect pace! Not too slow, but not too fast either! By the end of class, everyone's doing a full on choreography together and it's SO FUN that I forget that I'm working out! No worries if you're a beginner and have zero dance experience. If you just enjoy dancing and want to get some exercise, this class is for you whether you're male/female, or whatever age! :) Also, the music is on point! So fun with a great upbeat mix of top 40s, hip hop and some old school jams from the early 2000s. Sometimes there's a live DJ too which is awesome! Note: this class is located upstairs of Boogiezone Utopia and is a separate company. The building however says Hype Studios from the outside. Kinda confusing... Parking: free in shared lot with Kuma
