The team creates such a supportive and encouraging environment, and it shows in how excited my daughter is to attend each class. One of the highlights of the year is the end-of-year showcase. It's truly a magical experience for the kids, complete with real costumes and a professional production feel. You can tell a lot of care and attention goes into making it special for the dancers and their families. We truly appreciate everything this studio provides and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful place to foster their child's love of dance!

If you're looking for a welcoming, upbeat place to learn and enjoy Latin dance styles like salsa,…read morebachata, and merengue in Vallejo, this studio is a true hidden gem. The instructor, Denny, creates an incredibly supportive atmosphere from the moment you walk in -- he's patient, encouraging, and does a wonderful job adjusting each class to match the students who show up that evening, whether they're beginners or more experienced dancers. What really sets this studio apart is the sense of community. The group of students naturally changes from week to week, yet every time you go, you're surrounded by warm-hearted, like-minded people who simply want to dance, connect, and have a good time. It's welcoming to all ages and all dance levels, so no one feels out of place. The variety of dance levels also allows you to continue to your dance journey in the same welcoming atmosphere. Beyond the regular classes, the instructor also shares and sometimes facilitates group activities and events outside the studio, which helps students practice, grow, and build friendships. It truly feels like more than just a class -- it feels like a dance family. If you want a place where you can feel comfortable asking for extra help, meet supportive dance partners, and enjoy a fun, inclusive environment while learning great moves, this studio is absolutely worth checking out.

We rented this studio for a surprise birthday party. First of all Chon was so easy to work with…read more She responded promptly to all inquiries, was flexible and accommodated our multiple requests and changes, and definitely made it a priority to ensure we were satisfied customers. The venue was perfect! The main room has an open floor plan with a mirrored wall and mini stringed lights draping the walls giving the room a warm glow. And, it was large enough to accommodate our guests as well as a DJ and photo booth! The back room was perfect for set up of our food and beverages. She set up the venue to our specification. And, there was ample parking. We look forward to hosting future events in this lovely venue!

She also does other events and workshops throughout the year, so my girls stay active and are able to give back to the community. She has created a sisterhood amongst the dancers and teaches the girls to support and uplift one another. Mrs. C has a true passion and calling for dance. She shows tremendous care and patience with all of her students. I highly recommend Mrs. C's classes. She will help bring out the big star in your little ones! I love looking back and seeing how much my girls have blossomed and became more confidant in dancing since joining her class.

My daughter, age 7, has been attending BBT since 2012 and I couldn't be more pleased with the…read moreprogram. The first thing I worried about with enrolling my daughter in a ballet program was exposing her an unhealthy environment. I had - in the past - the displeasure of being around a large group of young dancers from a San Francisco ballet school. These kids were consistently rude and self-centered. Some even had developed eating issues. That is not what you will get here. The older girls are not only wonderful dancers, but they get to know the younger girls during the productions. This creates a wonderful community within the school. And there isn't a single waif among them. They are all healthy, athletic young ladies. My daughter is getting a chance to learn ballet, perform on stage, and build a healthy sense of self. I don't think I could ask for more.

I have been dancing with this studio for a little over 2 years. It all started with my daughter who…read morehas always loved to dance. A friend from school told us about the school, so I brought my daughter in for a trial class. She loved it so much we signed her up right away. Not too long after, I noticed that a lot of the parents are very involved with the group. Some of them dance, others play instruments and some help with costumes and events. A couple of the moms invited me to take a class, but I remember trying Tahitian in high school and never quite picked it up. However, the whole culture at the studio is like a family. Knowing that I could bring my kids, I decided to try it out because I needed some form of exercise. Never did I imagine I would be two years in and still loving it. I went from just dancing as exercise to being able to perform in front of people, which I have always been scared to do. The best part of the studio is all the people from the owners/teachers to the families involved. There are no egos or people trying to outdo one another. Everyone is uplifting, supportive and helpful. And just like the name suggests, it is more than a studio, it is a cultural arts center. We are not just taught dances. We are taught the language, the meaning of the songs we dance and even how to make our own costumes. Plus, you are able to participate as much as you like. If you don't want to perform, you are not forced to do so. They even have special classes where they teach you how to play different instruments. There are even fitness classes like Zumba. Of course, right now due to COVID things are different, and extra precautions need to be taken, so we do not have gatherings like prior. However, I highly recommend this studio for anyone who loves the Tahitian culture or just loves to dance.

I highly recommend the Muay Thai class for adults and for kids! It's a great workout (Warning: You will sweat a river =P) plus if you're into the fight game, this is the perfect class to get you started. Coach Dino is awesome and he'll keep you on balls of your feet! Literally! =) Also check out the Taebo and Boxing classes as well. I believe they offer Zumba too. You'll love it!

Seriously cannot believe the one-star reviews-- yea, yea, you're entitled to yours, but so am I…read more When I used to live in the area, I would be here every day after work and for tae-bo on saturday mornings. I loved that Denise, AJ, and Cheryl really kick your butt to house/Vegas/EDM style music. I also love the boxing class. The place itself does not look fancy but it is what it is = a kick ass place to get your cardio in along with fighting classes for all ages. I think its great they also hold occasional challenges (most fat loss/most weight loss) and have prizes such as free membership for a period of time, etc. I find it very hard to believe that this gym or any other would charge you for 4 months after the fact-- I canceled mine when I moved and did not experience such an issue. I did however buy the 10-pass class for when I do visit my family on the weekends and can get a cardio workout in. I say try it for yourself. There are all kinds/sorts of people here: thick, thin, young, older, beginners, novice, expert. You'll fit in no matter what shape you are in.

Currently there is a urinal out of order, it has been out of order for 3 months. Previously the only other urinal was out of order and had not been addressed or cleaned . It was disgusting. Stale urine sitting for weeks is not acceptable in a public restroom. I have encountered hair in the sinks, toothpaste on the countertop, unclean floors and the showers smell like mildew/mold. I would never use the showers or lockers for fear of disease or bugs. This facility is absolutely repulsive. Do better Planet Fitness Vallejo!

After the remodel I think this is a gym with a value that is very difficult to beat. I've only…read morepersonally been here a handful of times as a guest. But every experience so far has been great! There's plenty of cardio machines available at all times. From what I've seen people are respectful and wipe down the equipment after use. The biggest bonus is you can bring a guest with you every time. It's like a two in one membership! In the multiples times I've been here I've only seen one machine out of service. Certain machines are very popular/almost always in use like the assisted pull up. I think there may only be one of those. There's a vending machine with drinks available. The people working at the front have been polite. Be warned there are signs not to leave any valuables in the lockers. Keep them with you at all times. Even in early-mid January this gym wasn't that crowded.
