I enrolled my daughter in a "Baby Ballet" class at Tutu Ballet in Rancho Bernardo based on her age…read moregroup. She is on the younger side, so I understood going in that she might not be able to fully participate in every activity. My goal was not only to help her develop motor skills, but also to give her a chance to socialize and for me to meet other moms, as we are new to the area. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, the experience felt very unwelcoming. We showed up to class and no one greeted us. I introduced myself to the instructor and the group and was met with blank stares. I even asked if I could enter the gated area to participate at the start of class, and again received no response. Trying to break the ice, I made a light comment about noticing everyone had their shoes off and asked where I should place my belongings. The instructor, Clarissa, responded coldly with "no shoes allowed," without any further guidance or welcome. Once we got settled, the class itself actually had a nice structure. I appreciated the variety of activities and how it helps introduce young children to a ballet studio environment. Even though my daughter was a bit too young for some parts, I could see the potential value of the program. However, the lack of warmth and basic courtesy completely overshadowed that. I felt uncomfortable the entire time. At the end of class, I left right away because I didn't feel welcomed enough to stay and socialize with the other moms. As I was gathering my things, Clarissa approached me only to hand me a "first class" promotional flyer without any conversation, feedback, or acknowledgment. I had really hoped this would be a place where both my daughter and I could feel comfortable, build connections, and return regularly. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and unwelcome. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Our family lives in…read moreCarlsbad, so Rancho Bernardo isn't exactly close for us, but BBAS is the best of the best in San Diego so we are willing to make the drive in order to get there. In fact, we were strongly encouraged to try it out by our daughter's agents (Zuri), in order to receive the level and quality one would expect for a young working actor, or one aspiring to be. Our daughter has really come into her own as an actor since beginning her training with Coach Mike! She has learned so much and grown tremendously. From comedy, multi-cam, and improv, to pulling out her emotions and being able to cry on camera and more, Coach Mike and his staff are on it. We couldn't recommend BBAS more!

Our experience with this organization has been among the worst we have had with any business in…read moremore than ten years. The fundamental problem is that homeowners are required to pay dues whether or not they are permitted to use the facilities. Although the young reception staff have generally been friendly, our interactions with the administrative office have often felt dismissive, inflexible, and unnecessarily rude. Even the entrance, with its locked metal gates and restrictive atmosphere, feels unwelcoming for what is supposed to be a neighborhood recreational facility. For more than a year, I have tried to resolve a dispute involving outstanding dues for invoices and notices I did not receive. Because we were not using the facility, I had no reason to know that charges were continuing to accumulate. Once I became aware of the issue, I proposed a reasonable solution: allow me to begin paying the current dues while we worked out a fair arrangement for the disputed past balance. Instead of treating this as a genuine effort to resolve the matter, the office responded with a rigid, collection-focused attitude and refused to consider a practical compromise. We were expected to pay everything immediately while still being denied access to the facilities. A community association should make a reasonable effort to communicate with homeowners, provide clear and timely notices, and work constructively with residents who are actively trying to resolve a dispute. It should not use mandatory dues and denial of access as leverage while refusing to discuss a fair payment arrangement. We were not asking to avoid our responsibilities. We were asking for transparency, basic courtesy, and a reasonable path toward resolution. Unfortunately, our experience has reflected none of those things.

The costumes are always tasteful, the choreography is consistently age-appropriate in a world that tends to push kids to grow up too quickly, and--most importantly--our girls look forward to dance every single week. On a more personal note, our oldest daughter went through a difficult medical journey where she experienced severe frontal lobe volume loss and significant memory challenges. During her recovery, her neurology team encouraged us to find an activity that could help rebuild memory and strengthen new neural pathways. We decided to try Step x Step, and it has been one of the biggest blessings for her healing. The team met her exactly where she was, encouraged her with patience and compassion, and helped her rediscover confidence in herself. She has grown so much--not only as a dancer but as a person. We will forever be grateful for this studio and the love they pour into every student.

Fast forward to today, and he's now a swim coach here and absolutely loves it. There's something really special about seeing things come full circle. He remembered his experience here so fondly that he decided to apply for a job, and now he's thriving in a place that once helped him grow and build confidence in the water. The environment here has always been welcoming and family-focused, and it's clear they continue to create positive experiences for both kids and staff. They're lucky to have Brody, and he's certainly lucky to be part of such a great team. I still highly recommend the noon and family swim sessions - they're such a fun way for families to enjoy the pool together.
