My daughter started dancing at BDA three years ago. It has been transformational for her as a…read moredancer and as a person. She has received outstanding training from incredibly skilled and passionate teachers in an extremely positive, supportive, and professional environment. The artistry and education provided by BDA under the direction of Jason Coosner are exceptional. I can't recommend this studio enough for all dancers - from first-time dancers to those looking for a pre-professional training program!

This is the best dance studio in Los Angeles. Whether your child has serious aspirations or simply…read morejust loves to dance this is by far the best place. The teaching staff brings a wealth of experience to these young dancers and they do so with such a loving way. The foundation of BDA is ballet with which these kids build from in jazz, lyrical, technique, tap, hip hop and acro. If you want to be a ballerina this is the place. If you want to tap or do lyrical this is the place. If you want to dance for fun. This is the place! The focus is on building a well rounded dancer that can take their experience to college or to a professional ballet company or to just have fun! Jason Coosner, the studio Director and main choreographer, has his MFA and has created this academy for all of the right reasons. He is the president of Dance Masters Pacific Coast and also teaches at the Relativity School. His choreography is absolutely beautiful, age appropriate and truly shows off the strengths of each dancer. I can't imagine anyone else choreographing my daughters contemporary solos. His work is award winning. For those that have kids with serious dance aspirations, my 11 year old got accepted to the School of American Ballet CA intensive on full scholarship this summer. It's a pretty big deal. With all of her BDA training, she was able to walk into her classes completely confident, independent and take on the new Balanchine style easily. Many think they have to go to a ballet only school to compete at YAGP or get into a company. Nope! Elyse placed 2nd in contemporary and top 10 in classical and was invited to the NY YAGP Finals this past year at age 10. The beauty of this academy is that she can strive to be a professional ballerina doing ballet along with all of the other dance forms. Dance is joy! I believe if you entrust your kids dance education and experience to Burbank Dance Academy your kids will find that joy and have a love of dance. Oh! And wait until you see the beautiful studio!

We have absolutely loved our last two seasons at Exceleration and are so excited to be heading into…read moreour third! The environment here is incredibly healthy, loving, and supportive. Laurie, the owner, clearly cares so much about the kids and she strikes the perfect balance of ensuring they learn proper technique while genuinely wanting them to love dance and have fun. In fact, that passion clearly trickles down to the entire faculty; all the teachers and staff seem to truly love working with kids and sharing the love of dance. A huge shoutout to Miss Becca, who has been exceptional with our daughter and her entire team this year. She challenges them to grow, constantly encourages them, and makes sure they have fun along the way! The kids at the studio are all so happy and lovely. We are incredibly grateful for a place that allows our daughter to build both her confidence and strong, lasting friendships.

They even send birthday cards for the kids, which is a sweet touch. They're also flexible with make-up classes, making it easier for busy parents like me to manage everything. I also appreciate that they keep a stash of used ballet and jazz shoes to lend out if the kids/parents forget theirs. it's such a relief knowing they've got our back, especially as a busy working parent juggling a lot. Plus, there's no strict uniform rules; it's all about having fun and dancing. Overall, it's a really positive, relaxed place that my daughter loves.

Let me start by saying this loud and clear: I am not a great dancer. I'm decent--with two left…read morefeet--and I work hard outside of class because, well, I need to. I've even booked private sessions with instructors just to nail down routines. So if that sounds familiar, keep reading--because by the end of this, you might just be signing up for your first class. I've been a proud member of the Groove Zone community for nearly two years now, and honestly, I can't say enough great things about the instructors and the entire program. Yolanda Thomas, the owner and lead instructor, is a force of nature--an incredibly kind, passionate, and inspiring human who truly cares about every single person who steps through the studio doors. Her motto? "If you think you can't dance, I bet ya I can teach ya how to." (Spoiler alert: She can.) Thanks to Groove Zone, I've performed at two South Bay Lakers halftime shows and even hit the floor at a WNBA halftime performance at Crypto Arena--in front of 15,000 people. Yeah... 15,000. Never in my life did I think I'd perform in front of a live audience, let alone an arena crowd. It's the kind of rush you can't describe--and an experience most people never get the chance to have. And the community? Pure gold. The dancers I've met have become friends, cheerleaders, and my biggest supporters. There's zero judgment in the studio--because we're all there for the same reasons: to learn something new, break a sweat, and most importantly--have fun. Big shoutout to another powerhouse instructor: Manuela. She might seem intimidating at first (because let's be real--she's an absolute beast on the dance floor), but she is hilarious, supportive, and knows her stuff inside and out. She pushes you to grow, step outside your comfort zone, and leave class drenched in sweat--but in the best way possible. When it's time to hit the stage, she'll make sure you're 100% performance ready. And if you're not? She'll tell you that too--but with honesty, compassion, and the goal of making sure next time, you'll own that stage. That's how Groove Zone rolls: real talk, real support, real results. Take it from me--don't do what I did. I walked into my first class... got overwhelmed... and walked right back out. It took me a year to return. Don't let your nerves hold you back like that. Instead, challenge yourself. Step outside your comfort zone. Join a community of people who love to dance just as much as you want to. You don't have to be Justin Timberlake or Britney Spears. (I'm definitely not!) You just have to show up, bring your energy, make some new friends, and get one hell of a workout while you're at it. And when the day comes that you see yourself on a Jumbotron at a packed stadium, absolutely killing it in a halftime performance--don't say I didn't warn you about how badass you'd feel.

She was very encouraging and our dance ended up being much more complex than what we had in mind! 3 lifts and almost 3 full minutes of dancing!

Since 2020, we've experienced a genuine sense of camaraderie and family every step of the way. The owners are incredibly dedicated, always ensuring that each child's experience is purposeful, supportive, and focused on growth. We also love the variety of dance styles offered and the quality of the instructors. They are truly exceptional.

The staff and teachers are patient, kind, very loving, and knowledgeable. I love the progress all my kids have made. My 2nd daughter even applied her dance lessons towards a dance project that won 2nd place in a contest. Burbank First Academy has been a memorable experience so far. Looking forward to more amazing classes!
