Ta'ere Tia'i is more than a dance studio it's a forever family that i'm greatful to have so if you are reading this and thinking about joining i suggest you do!! from the teachers, to the students, to the families you meet it's something that you don't get to experience often and joining ta'ere tia'i will give you the experience you deserve like the one ive had for the past 12 years

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.

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!

I can't say enough about Chon Renee´ Dance Academy! My girls LOVE going to Mrs. C's classes.

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.

Teacher Tammy is so patient, bubbly, and fun that the girls want to come all day everyday.

No where else we'd rather be in the area by far.

Of course the entertainment, Lloyd Gregory & Friends, was "da bomb"! The only displeasure experienced was the sighting of a bug (type unmentioned) crawling on the wall next to our table--twice. We didn't bring it to the attention of the management, but just "handled" it. However, it is suggested a pest inspection and treatment be implemented right away. I would hate for this to become a problem which might prevent my and others' patronization of such a wonderful asset to the Vallejo community.
