Everyone I take to class here loves it, especially my absolute beginner friends. Management and front desk are also awesome, and I feel like they set the tone in this lovely space. I've only started coming here for a couple months now, but it is the place I look forward to visiting every week! They also host very intimate and valuable workshops with amazing choreographers. I took my first heels foundations here, and it was life changing! Irvine is seriously so lucky to have S1L!

After seeing an ad in FB I reached out to take a trial class. I spoke with Janell who was very…read morepushy. I was hesitant about giving my money at that time because I was going out of town and wasn't sure when I would be able to take the intro class. Upon returning from my trip I got Covid. I received an email from Janell that my trial week had ended. Of course I was upset because I hadn't taken a class yet. She said: "SDC trials are non-transferrable and non-refundable. Your original trial was scheduled for 3/29. While we typically don't offer transfers, we made a one-time accommodation to shift your start date to 4/15, per your request. We reserved your spaces in classes throughout these two weeks, which closed the spots to other interested dancers. It sounds like our program may not be a great fit for what you're looking for in dance. We wish you all the best in your journey and if in the future you're interested in committing to 12 month program, please reach back out!" This place is a scam.

Its not just about choreography, its about building the muscles, the posture, the rhythm, the technique. It's a great place to actually learn. Not just drop-in, but to join and enroll and commit to a dance education. I see Janell's vision for her studio and it's perfectly curated to create this beautiful community I'm so glad to be a part of today. I was an absolute beginner when I started a few month ago, and I always felt so encouraged, and never judged. I can see how much I improved already after a few months. I can only recommend that you join this wonderful community of dancers at Spectrum Dance Center ! Also I love that we have so many performances, and amazing choreography to learn every class, it gives a reason to come back every week and have something to look forward to ! Thank you Janell

Our family has been with Pacific Dance for the past 12 years. We started when our oldest daughter…read morewas 3 years old and she took recreational classes for 5 years, and now our youngest daughter who also started at the studio at age 3, is a competitive dancer starting her 3rd year with the Performing Groups. In the decade that we have been with this amazing studio, we have always had such a wonderful experience as both a rec and a competition family. We have participated in 11 recitals and in recent years, numerous competitions. In my experience they are all run like a well-oiled machine. They have rules and processes in place primarily to keep our children safe and to ensure everything runs smoothly and to create a great experience for the hundreds (thousands?) of students and parents. If you have common sense and are a decent person, it's not hard to understand why the studio runs things the way they do. ALL of the staff and teachers are exceptional and I love having the peace of mind that my children are receiving excellent training in a loving, safe and positive environment. This studio is truly my daughter's second home and there's nowhere else we'd rather be. We are so grateful for our wonderful dance family!

Initially we were nervous about starting the lessons but we now look forward to every upcoming lesson, Natalya makes it an exceptionally fun experience. We have no prior dance experience. If you would have shown me a video of the intricate dance we have learned over the course of 6 lessons I would have told you there is no chance we could learn all that, even with twenty lessons! She is a fantastic teacher. Natalya has exceeded all of our expectations. She carefully crafted us a fun, complex and elegant first dance.

We are so grateful to be a part of a school who looks at the individual student's needs as well as…read morethe needs of the teams. We were searching for the next level of training with emphasis on pre professionals preparing kids for the industry and then college dance. Dr. John Kwon's program to train dancers as athletes is unlike anything being offered anywhere. He gave each of our company girls an individual evaluation assessing their particular weakness and made individualized programs. Along with Marlene Hall's Therabar classes, the individualized athletic training seems a sure bet to take technical training far beyond years of traditional ballet class repetition. We absolutely love the Master Classes each week that keeps the fresh influx of ideas and choreography flowing. We were absolutely floored by the summer program where there were 60+ guest instructors all active in the industry and academic dance. We couldn't have gotten all that in any intensive anywhere even in LA. I thought my kid was just burning out on 20h/wk dance schedule but it turns out she was looking for a new level and for coaches that take her seriously as an athlete and an artist.

We've been coming to this ballet studio for many years, and while the instruction, teachers, and…read morecurriculum are absolutely amazing, the parking and drop-off situation is a nightmare. During peak hours--especially between 4 to 6pm on weekdays--the area around the studio becomes chaotic. Parents frequently block the red zone in front of the building to drop off or pick up their children, causing serious traffic congestion. To make matters worse, vendors are selling prepackaged food, fruit boxes, and other perishables directly from their vehicles--both in front of and behind the studio. This draws long lines of customers who often stand in the middle of the road, blocking parking spaces and making it difficult and unsafe for cars to get through. Even more concerning is the lack of supervision for children in the parking lot. Kids often dart out into traffic without looking, and drivers are forced to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting them. Many parents appear distracted and are not paying attention to their children's whereabouts. This situation has persisted for years and only continues to get worse. As much as we love the studio, the surrounding chaos and safety risks are making us seriously question how much longer we can continue coming here.
