When faced with having to go to the gym to get exercise while abroad, I perused the internet looking for a dance studio and was pleased to find Starlight nearby. Amber welcomed me upon arrival and showed me around the studio, so I was able to seamlessly enmesh myself into my first class. I took 3 adult classes that week--Basic and Intermediate, and enjoyed myself AND got to skip the gym! Patty has a great sense of humor and her class was easy to follow along with. The other adults were very warm and welcoming, and easy to chat with after class. I'll be back next time I visit from San Francisco!

My experience with SAJ Dance Company was deeply disappointing. As a parent, my top priority is my…read morechild's well-being, and I expected the same level of care from a place entrusted with her growth. Unfortunately, that was not what we encountered. During my daughter's time in class, certain remarks were made that affected her mental and emotional comfort. When I approached the owner hoping for a constructive conversation, I was met with avoidance rather than understanding. Instead of addressing the concerns or even opening a dialogue, she chose to block me entirely. What was most upsetting was the sense that financial matters were given more importance than my daughter's mental health or our concerns as a family. Charging my card as quickly as she could to get additional money. Despite my continued efforts to support this establishment, I was met with what I experienced as unprofessionalism and a clear lack of care. This is simply my personal experience, but I hope it encourages more mindfulness and communication moving forward. I would urge other parents to be aware and advocate for their children's comfort and safety in any program they join.

My daughter has been dancing at SAJ for 8 months, after making the decision to leave another local…read morestudio. The instructors, especially the owner, who teaches ballet and jazz and the hiphop teacher, who coaches a local high school dance team are amazing...probably the best in the valley! My daughter's technique has improved so much in these past months and the classes are the perfect size-so she gets attention and the feedback she needs to become a better dancer. The owner is easy to talk to, bends over backwards for her students, and has created a positive studio culture. The kids encourage and clap/cheer for one another on a regular basis, and the vibe overall is very positive. Additionally, the owner and other instructors give a lot of their free time to these kids, to help them fundraise to compete at various dance competitions. The studio space is beautiful, with a viewing area where parents can watch their kids. We are very happy we made the switch to this studio.

This is such a great dance studio according to my neighbor. Her two daughters have been taking…read morelessons here for quite some time and they really look forward to dance day.

I have gone a few times to observe their class and must say those instructors are very patient with the students and treat them with great respect. I might even sign up myself , looks like so much fun.
