I danced with EDS from ages 7-15 1/2yrs. this was where I learned discipline, rhythm, creativeness and of course enjoyed many fun forms of dance!

My daughter danced at Agape for over 3 years and it was a wonderful experience for her. Melanie is…read morean incredibly dedicated teacher with the technical know-how to really take her dancers' skills to the next level. Her classical ballet training is top notch. The studio environment is warm, compassionate, and caring, and my daughter made a lot of friends along the way. The winter Nutcracker performances (we did 3 seasons of them) were a wonderful bonding experience for the dancers. I cannot recommend this studio highly enough.

My children (6 & 3 yrs. old) have been with Agape in Aptos for almost a year. We love it!!!…read moreI tried two other studios prior to this and they were unorganized, unfriendly and didn't have the appropriate individuals to interact with children. Once we came to Agape I knew I would have to look NO further. Such a relief! My girls take the petite ballet class with Meredith and she is an absolute gem! We adore her! She's always wearing a smile and is a natural with all of the children. The studio in Aptos is small but nicely laid out with a classy feel. Their prices are reasonable and anytime I have a question, they are quick to provide answers. I hope Agape will be in Aptos for many years to come because they are of great value to the community.

I've taken a couple classes with Mario and he's by far my favorite dance teacher in Santa Cruz. He…read moreis passionate about dance and has a lovely sense of humor. He's also great at drilling in a fun way until you get the pattern.

He was able to discern our level of experience right away and gave us "deliverables" that we could enjoy and practice after our very first lesson. He then had us record our own tutorials so we could practice when we got home. As mentioned in most of his other reviews, his positive spirit and love of dance are contagious! When my wife and I started "floating" across the floor, Mario let out a "Whooo!!" that really made us feel good! We recommend him highly!

It was a great experience and reminder that we should all stay young at heart. I'm thankful to the dancehall for providing a great asset to the community for an outlet for kids, teens and adults. With all that's going on and the difficulty to even keep their doors open it's important that we support small businesses. That being said, I know personally the individual that wrote the vengeful 1 star review. Shows a lot about ones character to try to tear down a business that's struggling during a pandemic, because you didn't get your way?

I've been taking the contemporary dance class with Cambell at this studio for about half a year…read morenow. The atmosphere is so fun and creatively charged -- it's the kind of space where you immediately feel free to express yourself and explore movement without judgment. I didn't have any dancing experience prior to this class and Cambell has been such an amazingly supportive and inspiring instructor! She choreographes beautiful moves which are both elegant and intentional. Some of them challenging but that's also what I like about this class -- I get to learn and push my dancing boundaries. She's very supportive and takes time to explain and answer all our questions. We always start with a thoughtful warm-up and stretching session to prep our bodies and prevent injuries, which I really appreciate. It sets a grounded, focused tone for the rest of the class. The group vibe is super positive too -- everyone is supportive and uplifting, and there's a real sense of community.

I probably can't do anything anyway, I have the upper body strength of a squirrel" and by the end of the first Pole 1 class with Razz, I was signing up for classes twice a week. Small group environment, so it doesn't feel like there's all these eyes on you if you're getting through being self conscious. And everyone else in my classes are so nice and hype each other up! Different age ranges and body types, making it all the more better to show that anyone can do it. What an amazing environment the instructors here provide. I definitely recommend to any one of any exercise level!!
