I've been taking dance lessons with Ms. Yu Dian since the summer. She's a great teacher, very…read moreprofessional and detail oriented in her teachings on Chinese classical dance (trained in this art since a child). When a friend referred me to take lessons here, I wasn't interested, since I prefer practicing Kungfu and Taichi, but glad I have an open mind and gave it a try since I wanted to lose some weight; end up loving it. Shen Yun (body and rhythm dance) is like a Qigong (Chi Kung) exercise for dancers with dance movements analogous to Taichi a Qigong exercise with kungfu movements. Both will improve your Qi (life force). Shen yun is much more interesting because there are lots of different dance combinations. It will improve your balance, stretch out your muscle and work out every joints of your body even to your pinky. I personally think it's a great exercise for us middle age women, so we can continue to dance into our 80s. Ms. Yu teaches 2 new dances every quarter (3 months) so new students are welcome to join even though they are complete beginner. So far I learned 4 dances: 站气之源 (standing qi) & umbrella dance during the summer quarter; and 手之語（language of the hand) & water sleeve dance during fall quarter. My review is for the adult group class (7-9pm). The majority of the students in our class are middle aged women. For 2 hours we get a refreshing exercise, starting with foundational shenyun exercises, then move on to bar exercise, and finishing of with water sleeve dance ( or main dance for the quarter). The exercise is refreshing, not too strenuous, but we do sweat lightly. New up coming dance for January will be announced in her Wechat channel. Dian Art Center has 2 locations: Rowland Heights and Temple City (811 W Las Tunas). There are different curriculum for children, group lessons for adults (up to seniors) and private lessons.

Wow, it has been years since I've written a review, yet I feel strongly enough to do so today…read more My daughter has been going to Academy 831 for the past year or so, and she started when she was around 4 years old. In the beginning, I enjoyed having my daughter here because there are big windows where I can see how she is doing, and the place is clean and spacious enough to not feel crowded. That is still the case, and the front staff is very friendly, accommodating, and informative with everything that goes on at this studio. I have had very little interaction with the owner so I can't speak to that, but overall this place seemed like a good fit for the past year or so. However, over the past 6 months or so, I've noticed a change in my child's behavior when it comes to participating in dance class. I believe that difficult situations can make my kid stronger in most regards, so I chose to observe rather than pull her out of dance as soon as she wanted. I am able to take my daughter to dance class every other Wednesday, and what I've observed is a complete lack of empathy, compassion, and kindness from Miss Megan, one of the dance teachers that teaches on Wednesday's from 5-6 pm. Over the course of a few months, I noticed some instances that I kind of brushed off as structure and a part of the growth process; but now that I look back on it, I was so very wrong. Some instances include: when my kid was having a bloody nose before dance class and she wanted to come out to blow her nose during class, Miss Megan did not allow her to. When my kid said she needed to use the restroom, Miss Megan did not allow her to. I have heard Miss Megan say, "you're fine, you don't need your Mommy" on multiple occasions. Yesterday, was my final straw. Yesterday, my kid was having a rough day. She fell during class, and she had a noticeable cry out. She looked like it hurt her to continue. I opened the class door to say "what happened?" Miss Megan said "oh she just fell, she's fine." Did Miss Megan physically walk over to check on her? No. Later on towards the class, my kid got her finger slammed by the door while going into the classroom after changing into her tap shoes. She immediately fell to the floor. While I'm holding my 2 year old, I yell out to my husband to go help my child who is on the floor in tears from the pain. Where is Miss Megan? Sitting on her bottom. The only thing she moved were her eyes. Not even a single intent to move her body to check on an injured child. This speaks volumes to how much she cares about the children she "teaches." Thank you to the owner, Christa (I'm gathering from yelp review replies), for offering an ice pack, as I'm fumbling to try to get a cold water bottle from the vending machine, and a bandaid for my inconsolable child. My kid's finger has a huge cut and her nail is black and blue, I wouldn't be surprised if the nail falls off during the healing process. I'd like this to serve as a reminder. These "dance teachers" are teaching CHILDREN. Children have immature brains and cannot process situations easily. They need to feel safe and nurtured and they need to feel like their basic needs can be met easily, such as having the freedom to use the bathroom when they need to or find their Mommy to blow their nose if they can't breathe through it. We will be finishing up this "season" of dance because my kid likes to perform, and we will be looking for a new studio that has a little more compassion and passion for teaching children. I'm a pediatric provider, and this is 100% NOT the way we should be treating our kids. As long as Miss Megan is a teacher at this school, there is no place for my children here.

When any of us got stuck, she'd demo the move again and break it down until it clicked, which made everything feel doable and safe.
