She's grown so much as a dancer and a person, taking multiple styles of dance along with Baton and being part of the Teen Competition Team. The instructors are amazing -- supportive, talented, and truly care about every student's progress.

We highly recommend El Dorado Dance Academy to anyone looking for a place where dancers can thrive, build confidence, and be part of an incredible community.

Amy at EDDA North is incredible!! I have done a lot of children's activities over the years and no…read moreinstructor has ever compared to Amy. If you have the opportunity to sign your child up for a class with Amy, do it! She is by far the most patient instructor I have ever seen and she goes out of her way to know every child's name. Which is impressive because the class sizes are large and the roster changes from week-to-week. Remembering you child's name might not be a big deal to you but it means the world to the dancers and it also reflects her passion and attention to detail. She makes every class fun, interactive, and knows how to pivot when children are feeling a bit squirrelly. Amy is a true asset to EDDA North and I hope she is valued as such! I have twin girls and we have taken 6-7 months of ballet with her and I can't rave about her enough

UPDATE: I was emailed December 2nd and told that I would receive a refund via Venmo. It is now…read moreJanuary and I still have not received a refund despite sending a follow up inquiry via email. I am really saddened to post a negative review about a local business. My daughter started ballet at the conservatory about seven months ago when she was still four. In the beginning she loved going and would twirl around the house and dream of being a ballerina. A little after five she moved up to the next class level. The new class was a bit more challenging, and went from 45 minutes to an hour, but she was still enjoying it and learning a lot. Everything went downhill when tryouts for the Nutcracker began. Firstly, we needed to pay $20 for tryouts, which did not seem right to me since tryouts were held during her regular class time that we were paying for. After she was given a role, the classes switched to 1.5 hours. That is a VERY long time for a 5 year old, and they are given only one or two very brief breaks for water during this time. The lighthearted feel of the class disappeared and most of the young girls are visibly exhausted at the end. My daughter started to dread going and admitted to me that it is no longer fun for her. She said she is dreading Christmas because she knows she has to keep practicing for the Nutracker, and she hates the long classes and that she isn't allowed more water breaks. When I emailed the conservatory to tell them we wanted to cancel, I asked about getting a refund for the $100 Nutracker fee. Originally I was told it was for the cost of the costume, which she has not yet been fitted for, so I did not think it would be an issue. However, I was told this cost will not be refunded because it is for "production fee costs." The only thing she has received is grueling 1.5 hour classes that we did not want in the first place. I was also told that I will not receive even a partial fee for the monthly tuition costs despite the fact that she will not be attending any classes this month. I was also informed that they will be making adjustments to classes, and if she comes and finishes out the month they may consider a nutcracker fee refund. At this point my daughter has had ballet ruined for her so it is a bit late for that. Overall I feel the young students are being pushed beyond what is appropriate so that the studio can have their Nutcracker performance. Again, I don't love leaving a negative review for a local business but I think other's need to consider this when enrolling a young child at this studio.

Every mother's dream is that their children will find their place and they feel loved and welcomed…read moreby their peers. Today fills my heart so much it may explode. My oldest daughter was having a moment of self doubt when she was invited to join another dance with her group. We have been with Kinetic for, now, our 3rd Season, but she took a year off to try cheerleading, got injured, and could not do anything last year. This is her first season back. She felt she wasn't good enough and the whole team went and dragged her back in to be with her team. It was amazing to see these girls embrace and empower her. She went from a wilted demeanor to a whole new girl in an hour. Thank you Juniors and Bianca Wilde. I love what you do to my girls. This is one of those moments that brings a tough woman to happy tears. Again, I cannot thank you enough. She needed that more than you know. This is my middle daughter's second year in KDC. She has become a confident and beautiful dancer. To see her come alive and have a solid relationship with her friends and team just makes her glow and makes me so proud. These kiddos are so talented and they have a bond that is so strong. "Family is not what you are given, but what you make". This is our 3rd year at Kinetic Dance and I never thought it would fill their lives the way it does. Our youngest is still coming into herself. To watch her grow with these kiddos and to see her actually WANT to try is so amazing. Avery tends to be the baby and definitely wants a baby treatment. She is on her own this year (she's used to gliding on her siste current) and she feels like she belongs. I'm so glad that Kinetic embraces "The best dancer is a nice dancer" motto. When a little girl feels totally awkward and unsure of herself, having a group of kiddos and teachers that help you is worth more than anyone knows. These are all things that absolutely make our lives up here. We are transplants here and I genuinely appreciate the Kinetic family and all that it stands for. Thank you to the amazing staff and families. You are all so amazing and we truly love you all.

I decided to register my son here for break dance, but had to take him out not long after. The…read moredance teacher Mr. Jason was horrible. My son would come home to tell me that he didn't learn anything in class and how he was really disappointed, and it was not because my son wasn't interested in break dancing (he was the one who begged me to sign him up for it). PLEASE hire someone with more credentials. I feel like Mr. Jason just teaches because it's his job, not his passion and you can really see it. I'll be taking my business elsewhere.

I am new to Pilates and called Pilates EDH because they advertised focusing not just on Pilates,…read morebut on general wellness. I injured my foot a while back and was getting more and more out of shape with the inability to really exercise, and hoped this might be the thing for me. I arranged a private lesson with Janette and signed up immediately. Janette has been AMAZING! She honed in immediately on the things that were holding me back and works every lesson to move me past them. She is patient and kind but still pushes me to exceed what I believe I can do. Now in my mid fifties, not only am I getting the exercise I need, I'm reshaping my body, my posture, my balance, my whole body is changing in just a month. I feel wonderful when I leave the studio and look forward to every lesson. (not always the case for me with exercise ;-) The studio is warm and inviting. Janette is an incredible teacher with so much experience and such good insights. I highly recommend her and Pilates EDH to anyone looking not just for another exercise, but for teaching and movement that balances, strengthens and restores the body in all the right ways. I can't compare to other studios, but I can say that Janette has me totally hooked! If you're having any doubts, call the studio. You'll be glad you did.

She is helping me retrain my body to no longer depend on my lower back which has been giving me fits and pains over the years and use my core and seat instead. She can tell right away when i'm off and corrects me, or comes up with a new exercise to adjust. She cares deeply about the well being of her students (and the planet!!). I love that i can totally rely on her and trust her to figure out what my body neeeds, whether pilates excercises or bodywork or a combination of the 2. She watches and listens to my body and quickly comes up with the next step. I love her focus and dedication. I cannot recommend her enough for individual or group pilates classes, and for bodywork. You will be well taken care of.

The classes for the young students begin at an early hour in order to allow the young ones to be home for dinner. They even have a Saturday morning class for 3-6 year olds! Pam and Zara are both seasoned instructors who deeply care about helping students who wish to focus on classical ballet, so this is a studio that accomodates the growing needs of a ballet student. Training begins gently and the next thing you know, your child will be dancing beautifully. They are always mindful to teach and explain the proper way to execute the exercises rather than simply running class as many studios do. My daughter has danced here and grown in technique for many years. We are satisfied with this studio and would recommend it.

I even went as far as to take the teacher training here that was a mistake. I gave them my truth, which is kind of deep and they turned on me. The judgment I felt from many individuals in this community was too much for me to bear the last time I went in there I thought well this is it. I can't take this kind of judgment, so I just went in to be playful and I was thrown out by a teacher who looked very angry just because I was saying goodbye to this community. Did it hurt Yes I wouldn't recommend this community to anyone at this point.

I continued as a client and had various 1:1 sessions with her, joined events and participated in monthly moon circles. Every time I meet with Shakti, I leave feeling supported, emotionally grounded and like anything I desire in life is possible. Through working with Shakti, I have been able to express myself better emotionally and no longer feel alone in processing my emotions. I can better focus on my goals and determine which paths I should take while feeling more confident in my decisions. I continue working with Shakti not only because of the growth I see in myself, but also because of Shakti herself. She is one of the most humble and genuine people I have ever met and truly, truly cares about each of her clients. When we meet, it's like I'm visiting with a good friend who only has the best intentions for me. With Shakti, there is always something new to discover about yourself and the journey will continue to expand.

Sometimes we just need that reassurance that we are on the right path. She provided that for me. We talked about love, my career, and a little about my past life. All very interesting and helpful information. We go on in our everyday physical lives doing what we normally do, but tapping in to the unseen and our soul gives an extra edge- just more information to guide you-more light for your journey. I feel better equipped for 2019. Bring it on! * Update: I had another session with Garima. For those who go to conventional therapy try Garima. This is deep healing work for your soul. Thank me later after you see her. I have spent thousands of dollars on conventional therapy and it only helped a small fraction compared to what Garima can do. Amazing dramatic change!
