There are not enough strong adjectives to praise what Sophie has created for both the young and…read moreolder dancers. We have been with Sophie from day one, when she had just one small studio. We have watched and been the recipients of her kind, loving, and generous heart. She has built wonderful studios that are a safe place for our children to not only learn and grow as dancers, but also grow into confident young women. She has continued to evolve her studios, offering new and current styles of dance while always keeping that personal touch. Her teachers are professionals in their own right and help our children learn, create, and thrive. Sophie is also able to accommodate every level and interest in dance... from the little ones just starting out (who are always the cutest on stage!), to older dancers with a true passion for dance, to the competition teams for those who love the challenge and commitment of competing. Having dance in my girls' lives and being part of the Sophie Dance family has been one of the biggest highlights of their lives. They are still constantly dancing in front of the TV, making up routines, and performing for the family. Sadly, our time with Sophie is coming to an end. We have been with her for over 20 years, and this will be our last dance recital as my youngest graduates from high school. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I can't wait for future grandbabies to dance with her one day. Sophie truly is one of the bright lights in Los Angeles!!!

Great instructors, but appalling and disrespectful customer service for parents…read more My two daughters and I have been taking classes at Playground LA for a while. We dance across multiple groups--I used to train in the same class with one of my daughters, my oldest daughter is currently in another group, and my younger one attends every Sunday. We buy a lot of classes here. We were actually planning to buy even more, despite the fact that their system is completely inflexible: there are no memberships, no discounts, and the classes are quite expensive. We stayed because we truly love the instructors and the overall dance level.However, the way they treat parents is absolutely unacceptable. I am beyond frustrated by the fact that I am not allowed to use the restroom while waiting for my child. They have a restroom accessible from the courtyard. I can understand that they don't provide parking spaces for waiting parents, but not letting a parent use the restroom during a 1.5 to 2-hour wait is beyond comprehension.This is the second time I have been practically kicked out of the restroom, treated with such a look as if I were a homeless person off the street. As a paying customer, I find this incredibly rude, humiliating, and disrespectful. This is an absolute failure in customer service.I work as a professional film actress and model, so I have extensive experience visiting high-end studios and various locations worldwide. In most reputable places, parents are welcomed inside; they are provided with a waiting area, Wi-Fi, water, or at least a place to sit. At Playground LA, you aren't even allowed basic human dignity like using the bathroom. For a studio of this caliber, this level of service is wild and completely unacceptable. I am deeply disappointed.

Ms. Stella and Ms. Lindsay really made the experience magical for the little dancers, using fun techniques to teach them ballet and providing them with a princess ballerina kit (with a crown, wand, t-shirt, candies, and bag) when they signed up. The end-of-year show, Alice in Wonderland, was spectacular, highlighting the talent and hard work of all the studio's dancers. The occasion was special for the dancers and parents alike! I can't wait to see what the studio has in store for next year!

I first met Stella and her dancers when they were performing at the summer recital in Plummer Park…read more What stroke me the most is that every dancer was confident, smiling and enjoying their part. Stella is so awesome with kids. She is kind and so patient!!! Usually, my daughter (3 yo) is very slow to warm up to people and shy. However, she loved Stella from the first sight. On the first try out class my daughter told me to leave and she stayed on her own for the whole class. If you have/had toddlers you can imagine what that meant to me. No nagging, begging, crying or bribing. Now she is behaving and listening the whole week so she can only go to Stella on Friday. I'm super satisfied mom:) The studio is bright and clean. The prices are reasonable and payment plan is available. I would recommend Stellar Dance to all my friends with kids.

It seemed expensive considering most studios allow for one free class to get a sense of the teacher and overall vibe, but the reviews were good so I thought I would give it a try. The class was wayyyyyy too full and we were very disappointed in the instruction. It was too packed for the teacher to engage the kids and was generally chaotic and stressful. the fee included all of the props required for the class, but it was just a bag of dollar store crap - couldn't have been worth more than a few bucks. For $85 they can buy and maintain their own props for the students and keep them at the studio. We were really disappointed and didn't even take our second trial class.
