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.

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.

The instructors are fun and upbeat, keep things engaging and play music that kids like.

I am an intermediate adult dancer and ballet instructor who was on vacation with the in-laws in…read morePalm Desert. 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!

I haven't even been here for a year and I can already tell this is not the place for me. Although I…read moremade many friends there is literally only one teacher that is nice in this whole place (which is Mrs. Kat) . The parents are extremely rude and give no respect to the kids neither the parents. For rehearsals at the studio during tech week, they make it way too much. It may be tech week but show some respect, the moms are telling us to shut up and that's not ok. Also the fact that in the program for the show, they only give shine to the ballet and not at all the 2nd Act, everyone deserves shine and respect. Also the fact that musical theatre only gets 15 minutes to perform a show, that isn't musical theatre that's just a disgrace to musical theatre. At least give us an hour. I was really happy when I joined the studio, I got the lead role in the musical theatre production, I made many friends, I loved my teacher but it wasn't a space where I could feel comfortable doing something that I love. Despite everything I've mentioned, I'm willing to give this studio another chance because I truly do love performing, I've made great friends here, and I care about the program. I believe this studio has a lot of potential if more respect is shown to all students and every department is given appreciation and opportunities to shine. I hope that in the future, everyone's voices are heard and positive changes are made so every student can have the best experience possible.

We have driven by the Art Flying Aerial studio on Country Club Road for a while and as our…read moregranddaughter is a dedicated 8 1/2 year old gymnast, I thought that a gift of a class or a summer camp may appeal to her. The owners are very helpful and accommodating. We visited and got the schedule and our girl came back to the next scheduled class for children between 7-12 years of age. We got to register on site for the class with the owner, Manuel. Parents are able to observe the instruction in a great room with fabrics and silks and mirrors for the class. The very enthusiastic instructor was so warm and encouraging to the children. An hour of instruction with fun music brought the students to a level that they could demonstrate new skills of grasping the fabric, anchoring themselves into basic and then more intermediate positions, all the while getting individual redirection and praise from the instructor. They performed their new abilities and received applause from the gallery. Ruby, one of the family and an instructor, explained that there are adult clients who visit to have restorative stretching and exercise to soothe them after injuries. The attached photos indicate their services. They have a second branch in Palm Springs on Lawrence Crossley, south of the airport and Ramon Road. The prices seem reasonable. We will take our granddaughter again this week. $35. for an hour's instruction. I was so happy to be able to provide her with a birthday gift in an entirely new activity, and she was enthusiastic from the get-go. If you know about the benefits of stretching and restorative range of motion, you will find a new center for supportive instruction. https://artflyingaerial.com/

SO MUCH FUN!!! I was…read morein the area for my bachelorette and we wanted to do something fun and active. THIS WAS IT!!! Most of us had no prior experience and none was necessary! It was an amazingly fun time! We booked a private class on a Sunday morning (the weekend Hurricane Hilary was in town). We appreciate the staff so much because of how accommodating they were and we were able to customize our class time a bit. We had the entire studio to ourselves and Yolanda was our instructor. Both she and the man who greeted us were so nice! Yolanda had the best customer service. She really catered to us and took her time with us. They both went above and beyond to make us feel special! They even took us to the other room to take pictures and try out moves on the spinning aerial silks. A quality experience! Yolanda started us up with a cardio warm-up that was SO GOOD. We were all sweating and our heart rates were up. We used hula hoops and yoga blocks and it was so much fun. She kicked out booties! Then she taught us some moves on the non-spinning aerial silks. As we became more comfortable, she strung the moves together and had us perform it to music. She was a great instructor and we had so much fun! Afterwards, Yolanda and her coworker were so nice to us and let us take a BAJILLION photos everywhere. They even gave us recommendations on good places to eat. We had a fabulous time and would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new, fun experience!
