I have been mostly disappointed with my experience at Dance For Kids. Today marks the second time we've arrived to a darkened studio only to be told that the teacher is sick. (We've been participating just a couple of months). The front desk emails the notification that class is cancelled just 30 min before if at all (most of us in LA are in the car already, or getting our toddlers/ kids dressed for class). When this happened the first time, the person at the front desk let my husband know that the next class would be free to make up for the inconvenience. When I arrived the subsequent time, he was about to charge me when I reminded him that we had a free class due to the late previous cancel. The parking is also a maze and one of the elevators is always broken. Not the best building. The teachers are enthusiastic and sweet. My daughter did enjoy the class. But I can't continue to take her there because of the customer service/cancellations unfortunately. ~After hearing back from Dance for Kids, raising my review a star. Appreciate your response and explanation!~ read more

My tiny dancer has been dancing at Dance For Kids for 2 years now and loves it! She started out just trying a few parent and me dance classes when she was around 3 years old. Fast forward 4 years and now she is a part of youth dance company and enjoys every minute of it. The dance teachers are amazing teaching her new choreography. Being a part of this dance studio has taught her commitment and reinforced her love of dancing! She loves going to dance every week! read more

We love Brentwood Dance Academy! The teachers are so talented and kind. They create such an amazing community. Thank you

Dance for kids is wonderful! The teachers and staff are beyond wonderful. Not only are they fantastic dancers buy they are invested in the growth and development of the kids. My daughter has loved every class and summer camp she has attended. read more

Best dance studio on West Side! My daughter loves Dance for Kids and the teachers. Highly recommend.

Best studio ever!!! All the teachers are so kind and help out so much. I always feel so comfortable dancing here and it's just such a positive space. read more

my favorite dance studio better than all that I tried in the past the teachers are very caring and nice -Leila

This studio is fabulous! Highly suggest it for your kid.

i love dancing here and i think it's a great environment and makes everyone feel like a family.

It used to be a wonderful place for kids to be, but not anymore. I watched the teacher ask a kid to do push-ups for an absent minded child in the class. It'a physical punishment. I couldn't believe what I saw today. read more

The classes here for kids aged 4 and below are WAY OVERCROWDED. The kids can't freely dance around and our biggest concern is that the teachers can't/don't give each child due attention and supervision bc of the large classroom size. We tried out DC Dance Center further south and had a similar experience with too many students crammed into one class, but at least their teachers were attentive to each and every student. Our best experience so far has been at MNR Dance in Brentwood. Our class had about 6-7 kids instead of 14+ and the teachers have been so caring and passionate for their work, which all made for a much more positive learning experience for all. read more

We initially liked the place but after the free introductory class the teacher was changed. I feel like my kid did not enjoy going for classes. She told me she rather not go. The front staff is not nice or welcoming either. We got stuck in traffic and my kid was staving but we were late for her class. I asked an older lady if we could purchase the snacks using a credit card bc I had no cash at the time she refused. She saw my kid have a total meltdown while I went to another place to get some snacks. I am sorry but she could have said pay me back before class and hand the snacks to the hungry kid. Never went back to this cold place, if they treat your kid like this when y are there can you image when you are not. read more

I love taking my daughter to ballet every week. The other parents are nice and friendly and teacher Tara is great. My daughter really looks forward to going to class although she sometimes goofs off and loses focus. She is only three and the youngest in the class. I think one time teacher Tara gave all the other kids stickers after class except my daughter because she was playing around too much during class. I think some parents would have a problem with this but I agree with this...not everyone can be winners. I do not believe in participation trophies! At the end of this season, the class had their live performance and she and her entire class killed it. It was amazing. Thank you teacher Tara. We will be coming back in the fall. read more

My review is for a 3 1/2 year old and the class was amazing! I really appreciated how the instructor was warm and great with little kids. I liked this class much better than MNR for several reasons...the instructors are more interactive and fun instead of strict. I don't see the need to be so restrictive with 3 and 4 year olds and the place is much better managed and taken care of. I definitely prefer this dance studio if you live near Brentwood! They have valet parking that is validated which is great because parking is difficult in Brentwood. If you are looking for a place for ballet and tap, I highly recommend this place! read more

My daughter attended Dance for kids when she was 2.5-5 years of age, she took ballet and loved it. At age 12 she started again with ballet and once again she loved it, the class was small (only 4 girls) however she had a great time. When we signed her up for the next series of ballet classes, she was again in a small class, this time with 3-4 year olds no one near her age, as you can imagine this was really no fun for her at all. It was brought to the attention of Dance for Kids and they did nothing at all. My daughter finally stopped going to the classes, we paid almost $600.00 and she went to maybe half the classes because she felt uncomfortable. Today Dance for Kids, charged our credit card another $600.00, this is an unauthorized charge, it is fraud. We certainly did not sign up for any additional classes, in fact they should be refunding us for all the classes our daughter didn't take due to be placed with 3 year olds. read more

I've been taking my 4 year-old daughter to Dance for Kids for 2 years. She looks forward to it every week, and always has a great time. Seriously, she has never had a single class that she didn't love. The teachers are sweet, patient and great with kids, and I've never had anything close to a bad experience. The others parents are cool too. There are no attitudes here - everyone is super friendly and chill. I'm really baffled by some of the one-star reviews here. All I can say is, I'm extremely grateful to Dance for Kids for giving my daughter many, many hours of happiness. read more

Trying our first class out today - I am loving the combos and steps they're doing- real ballet....but for the life of me I can't figure out - why do the teachers wear sneakers?! Wouldn't they be more comfortable in ballet shoes? Not to mention it's better training for the littles. I'm shocked (!) read more

I've been with this studio for over 10 years now and I think the choice I made was a biggest gift for our 4 girls! (15, 10, 8 & 4) Teachers are always happy and enthusiastic, very talented and super pretty!!! ;D It's unbelievable how much our girls improved in past years and that is just because they love their studio sooooo much!!! We can proudly say Dance for kids is the best studio in town!!! read more

Both my young daughters have been taking dance classes here for over 3 years. The teachers are wonderful and what they teach is a great combination of dance technique and fun. They have a great make-up policy and have many classes to choose from. Definitely a great place for all ages and for both boys and girls! read more

My daughter has been going to Dance for Kids for ballet+tap the last year and a half and she absolutely loves it. We tried one other studio before in Culver City, and the teachers - nice people - were just unable to keep her attention, particularly during the tap portion of the class. Not the case at Dance for Kids - great, patient instructors, and great results. Can't wait for the June recital! read more

I've had two daughters attend Brentwood Dance Academy/Dance For Kids over the last 15 years. Karen Chase offers a variety of levels and dance styles from beginning to advanced and competitive. The teachers are all highly trained and most are current dancers as well. There are many opportunities for students to perform and join competition teams. I've watched most students grow up at this studio and would recommend it highly. Come try a class or two. Colleen, the receptionist is very sweet, organized and helpful and can answer any questions. Hope this is helpful. read more

My Daughter has been going to Dance for Kids and has been dancing on the Brentwood competition dance team ( BAD). Dance for Kids is her second home. The teachers are not only professional dancers themselves , but are star choreographers. They work so hard and in just a few sessions you can see the dramatic changes in the way your child improves. My daughters have tried various dance studios and there is just no comparison. Once you go here, you are now part of a family. The girls are so supportive rather then competitive with one another. It is truly beautiful to see girls be so encouraging to each other. This type of support is encouraged by the teachers and the owners.They also provide many outside bonding activities for the girls to attend to even further stregthen their friendship. I can not recommend this place enough. I'm so lucky to have found it, it changed my daughters life both emotionally and as a dancer. read more
