Fired-Up Dance Academy has been my Child's home away from home for the last 8 years. This dance…read morestudio is filled with knowledgeable and loving teachers as well as caring parents who want the best for their kids as well as each other's. My daughters have learned not only about technique and musicality but have also learned character to be better in themselves. The lessons learned have started them on an excellent path in their future. The artistry that is taught through the creative team grows year upon year and the dancers excel. As my daughter now prepares to enter a coveted dance conservatory to work on her BFA in dance I can say with confidence that if it were not for the guidance of Fired-Up's Director and staff and the village of parents who have helped support us she may not be going onwards to an amazing future.

Leilani has been INCREDIBLE! We have been working with her on the first dance for me and my fiancé…read moreand the father daughter dance. We decided to go with the 7 dance package which seems like a great amount. My fiancé and I did 4 classes while my dad and I took 3. Leilani is giving us some great tips and tricks to make our dances look amazing. She is so encouraging with me and my fiancé and is also very encouraging and patient with my dad who does not have much past dance experience. I think 4 lessons is a great amount for a first dance since we are doing a minute and a half and we have a relatively good sense of rhythm. This will definitely be dependent on how quickly you can learn though (my dad and I covered in 3 lessons what my fiancé and I covered in 1). We had such a wonderful time learning from Leilani and now that our wedding has happened my husband and I have gotten so many compliments on how lovely our dance was. TLDR: patient and encouraging instructor, worth the investment

Going to a ton of weddings recently, I realized for my own wedding I didn't want to high school…read moreslow dance in front of all my friends and family for 5 minutes to start off the reception. Instead, I wanted something "cool". I don't know how to dance. My wife does a bit... but I move like a rock... We hired Leilani to help choreograph our first wedding waltz for our wedding. The classes were about once a week for about 8 weeks. Each lesson was 45 minutes and at the end we had a beautiful waltz which we presented at our wedding. Things I really liked: Leilani was super easy to work with. We basically told her what we wanted, and she built a dance routine exactly to what we were envisioning. She is also nice to a fault. Sometimes I messed up so badly, but instead of reprimand she always had something nice to say. I've never failed so badly yet have someone complement the gracefulness of the way I failed. She recorded the dance steps each weekly so we could study and emailed us the queues. I think the most impressive thing to me was none of the routine was recycled. We constantly moved across the room throwing in different movements. We got in a lift, a drop, and a really nice ending pose. The final result was a gorgeous routine. Everyone at the wedding raved about how awesome it was. Definitely money and time well spent.

My wife and I have been going for several months now and feel much more comfortable actually…read moredancing in a public space than we ever had before, we were goofy and silly, but did not know how to do anything graceful. I would not say that we are experts yet, but we certainly are able to engage in something extremely fun and the instructors are half the reason we keep coming back. They are so engaging and helpful to see the tiny things that we can adjust to get that much better, and they make every class extremely fun. We were also intimidated at first to go to the parties, but the fact that they do these relatively short and focused events is awesome. People who know how (instructors, student la who are maybe a little further along) invite you to go out and do things that you would probably otherwise hesitate to if it wasn't in a venue designed for learning. I know it sounds weird to compare it but it has a lot of the same dynamic that a great jiu jitsu academy does with people taking it easy on you when you are a beginner and letting you learn from their experience whether it is just a bit ahead of you or with a whole lifetime of training they can share. I would never have gotten my feet off the ground otherwise. Excellent experience and I am always excited to go in the evening after work.

Great Classy people. I would say this is one of the most upscale studios I have seen. Love it.read more

I've been coming to SGD on and off since they opened a few years ago. It's a little far for me, so…read moreI might make it once every few months. I've been impressed by their programming, social and events. I always know that when I go to SGD I'm going to feel safe and have a great time! This past weekend I had a friend visiting from London. She's an avid dancer and can dance w/ the best of them, so of course we chose to spend our one evening together at SGD. Late in the night, she lost her phone and we approached Miguel the owner of SGD to help us. He was super helpful, we exchanged phone #'s and he helped us gain wi-fi access to geo-locate the phone. He said the regulars are all super honest and ethical and that the phone should be here somewhere. Turns out, the phone dropped out onto the floor in our car. So crisis adverted! I guess in summary, what impressed me most was Miguel. The confidence and integrity in the business and community of regular dance patrons he's built. It was an absolute pleasure to experience that. I think some venues I've been to woulda said "Good luck to you!" But Miguel was concerned, helpful and supportive! If you are looking for a dance studio / community, I can't recommend SGD enough. I live a bit far and now will make more of an effort to dance here more regularly.

I was keeping up but some steps I wasn't and the people around kind of helped. Very kind of them! Then we went to a different room for some Salsa! That room was packed and at one point was hard to walk through. I would definitely come back for another night of dancing! Oh, the parking was limited. We were lucky and found on in the parking lot but get there early!

Just want to leave an informational review because there's a couple of important things they do not…read morestate on their website. 1. There is no where to view your dancer inside of the building. If you choose to stay to watch your dancer in class, you must view from the windows OUTSIDE of the building. (If weather permits of course. Their normal protocol is for you to just drop your dancer off.) 2. Limited parking 3. If your dancer is in a 3-6yr old class- if one dancer has to use the potty, the whole class has to go. The teacher is responsible to take the little ones to use the restroom. I enrolled my 3yr old in one of their classes and was surprised by their lack of accommodations, especially having come from another established studio out of state. I also have a 1yr old that I have to bring with me and watching my 3yr dance from the parking lot was not safe for my little one. I also thought their potty protocol was frustrating because of the time (15min) it took away from class and having a stranger tend to my daughter using the potty did not sit well with me. To each their own. Just leaving this info for other mamas who are looking to enroll their younger dancers. 2 stars because they do not reply to emails and voice mails and for the lack of info on their website. My daughter had a great time in her class but unfortunately the studios lack of accommodations lead to an unsatisfactory experience and we unenrolled immediately.
