Thumbs up on this place!!! Have wanted to take ballroom…read morehere in the desert for a while and PREMIER is the place to go! The 6:00 group classes are great and time just flies by. Dances change monthly so you are always learning something new. For me, the private instruction is truly where it's at. All the teachers are great and I am learning so much and am becoming much more confident! It's a whole different world out there on the dance floor! Yep - this is the place to go! Thank you Charles and staff for being so wonderful!

So we had our first private lesson and really liked our instructor. My husband was hesitant to…read morestart lessons because we had an instructor years ago at another studio that really was not that helpful. We are looking forward to becoming pros for our daughter's wedding in April and truly believe that this studio will make us look good on the dance floor. So far so GOOD.

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.

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.
