Her energy never disappoints and you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. It's infectious. The class is so much fun, super inviting, and welcoming no matter your level. You walk in and instantly feel comfortable, which is not always easy to find. Lindsey creates such a positive vibe that keeps me coming back every single time. The music is also on point. It's a great mix that keeps things fresh while still honoring the roots and culture behind twerk. You leave feeling empowered, energized, and honestly just happier. If you're thinking about trying it, do it. You won't regret it.

Our daughter absolutely thrives here and has discovered a passion for dance and theater. She started out just doing hip hop, but now she takes ballet, hip hop, jazz, tap, contemporary, musical theater and aerial arts. She has made close, life-long friendships and has an incredible mentor in the owner, Cassandra Daurden whom I admire greatly. The performances are professional and spectacular to watch. I can't even believe the aerial skills and singing voices that come from these kiddos! They are not your everyday kids dance recitals, they are stunning top-notch performances. This is an incredible gem and we are filled with gratitude for this amazing DPAC community.

I've been a member at bodydada for four years, and I truly cannot imagine my fitness routine -- or…read moremy community -- without it. What makes bodydada so special starts at the top. The owner, Kim, has created something genuinely rare, a studio that feels like a tight-knit community rather than just a gym. She leads with so much warmth and intention, and it shows in every corner of the space and every person she brings on board. The instructors are absolutely world-class. Every single one brings their own energy, style, and expertise to the barre and yet the quality is consistently incredible across the board. Whether you're a first-timer or a longtime regular, you'll feel challenged, supported, and seen. I've taken classes with all of them over the years, and I'm always excited to walk through the door no matter who's teaching. Four years in, bodydada still feels like the highlight of my week. If you're on the fence about trying it, consider this your sign.

I absolutely love PlaygroundLA! I've been coming here every so often for years and I remember when…read moreit was just one studio. I love that tjey expanded not only in size but also the types of dance offered. My favorites are their heels classes. Admittedly some of the beginners classes don't feel like beginners because many people already know the moves lol Every class I've attend, the instructor had great energy, broke down the moves easily, was open to questions, and made you feel confident! If you're new to the Playground here are some tips: - come early to find parking. Yes there's limited meter parking, but there are streets that let you park from 8-8pm without a permit for 2 hours - bring water you will sweat! - you can walk in with a bag of your clothes and additional shoes since they have dressing rooms - come with a friend if you're shy and so they can record you if you want - make sure your phone is charged so you can ask someone to record what you learned - remind yourself that you're here to have fun! You can get in your head when so many around you are so good and comfortable. Also, instructors usually get dancers at the end to dance with them for videos and it can feel like youre not good when they don't choose you but remember: you're there for fun

Bill was very helpful and welcoming, and it's all crazy affordable. Can't wait to come back! Thank you, Studio A Dance, and Happy Fourth of July!

Okay, first the good: the studio is super cute. It's such a cozy and welcoming space with greenery…read moreand a little water fountain in the corridor outside the class-rooms. There are two rooms, which is nice, and one has beautiful wooden flooring, which seems well-maintained and makes for a lovely space. I took a beginner ballet class that was amazing. It's probably the first adult ballet class I've taken where the teacher was not just encouraging, but also seemed to take adult dancers seriously. I felt safe with her corrections and she seemed incredibly knowledgeable about the craft. The students in this class were kinder and more laid back than some of the other studios I've tried out so far, so totally loved the beginner ballet class here because it seems to be community-oriented. I'm only knocking off stars because the studio is HOT, and not in a sexy way. I thought I would collapse from the heat inside that room. It wasn't just hot; it was sticky and humid in there, which is not something I have ever experienced before. There are fans in the studio, but they don't do much to help with cooling down the space. Other dancers were just taking off clothes and walking outside to try to catch their breath. It's pretty remarkable how much hotter it gets inside the studio than even the weather outside, so that made me a little nervous about potentially returning during weeks when the weather is above 80-degrees. It's horrendous. I love Ballet and really enjoyed the class I took, but wish there was a way to cool the place down. Not sure how safe it is to do ballet or any form of physical activity there if you are heat-sensitive, so just be warned about that. It's very much an issue, especially during these months when the weather is 90+. That's a liability waiting to happen.

We recently came back and tried various classes from broadway - music. All of our teachers have been very nice. If you're looking for a professional well structured school, I'm not sure this is the place for that. If you're looking for a place for your child to be creative and socialize, I think this is the place for you. Parking would be on the street/meters. The weekends are a bit difficult to find parking with multiple churches and lots of restaurants around the school. There are tv monitors so you can watch your child while they're in class. There are lots of places to sit inside and outside while you wait for your child. Class sizes are fairly small. The cost is typical of LA prices. We take classes in another city as well and the cost is $40 less/month, however, class sizes in affordable studios also have triple the amount of students.

My daughter is almost 6 and is about to start her FOURTH dance season with Reach for the Barres,…read moreand we've also done their summer camp for two years as well. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this place. Everything Reyana has created at RFTB is magical. It's so much more than just dance. The confidence, independence, focus, coordination, and sense of belonging my daughter has gained here have carried over into so many other parts of her life. Her first day of preschool? Tear-free, because dance had already taught her that she could confidently walk into a room, say goodbye to Mom, and have an amazing time. Tennis? She's been moved up to an older age group because her coordination and ability to listen and focus are so strong. I see little pieces of what she's learned at Reach show up everywhere. But beyond all of that, the place is just PURE JOY. The teachers are the absolute sweetest, my daughter adores being there, and it has become such a special part of her childhood. And the recitals? Guaranteed to bring a grown man to tears. They are somehow adorable, impressive, hilarious, and incredibly moving all at once. We feel so lucky to have found Reach for the Barres and Reyana. Four seasons in, and my daughter still lights up every time she gets to go to dance.

This place is $550 per week per student. I have two step kids in the summer program, for two weeks…read more That means that it's $2,200 for two weeks. Not sure if it's so expensive because it's now in the hilariously "trendy" aka GENTRIFIED Atwater Village. I did not and would not ever sign my kids up for this. There are plenty of wonderful summer camps available through the city that are much more cost affective. This is for parents who bought a million dollar house in Atwater, and want to brag to their friends their kids are in some bougie premium priced class. To top it off, only ONE parent is allowed in the studio for the final performance at the end of the week. If the other parent wants to see the performance, you have to stand outside in the heatwave... no sitting around the inside perimeter or anything like that. Just outside in the sun cooking.
