I do not recommend this academy. In February we signed up for our daughter. By then we were a bit late for the sign up for summer recital so we couldn't. So whenever they practice for the recital my daughter was made to feel very left out. The instructor told my daughter that she can do stretches or do whatever she wanted or join the dance. Fact that the instructor pointed that out made my daughter felt like she didn't belong. Paying for the recital or not, every tuition paying dancer should be part of the routine. They have my credit card in their system and charge automatically every month which in the beginning we appreciated because we didn't have to remember to pay or wait for a bill and all that hassle. However, this academy not once sent out updates or announcements of any kind. I checked my spam/junk mail as well as regular mail. They say they do send email but we never got it. Suddenly tuition increased by $30 this month. Also we just found out there is an annual registration fee although there was no additional need for any type of "re-registration." They just simply charge it every July. The reason it's not a 1 star is because after the issue arises they refunded this month tuition smoothly as we decided to pull my daughter from this academy. And while there my daughter didn't mention other issues aside from feeling excluded from the Moana dance. We got quoted with another academy close by for our daughter where tuition is a lot more reasonable and she will be starting there soon. read more

Amazing! We're new to Hudson and to dance. They have been so welcoming and kind. All dance instructors are professional and encouraging. My husband and I are physical therapists and are happy with the dynamic warm up and stretching prior to dancing, making sure to keep our kiddos injury free. I highly recommend Hudson!! read more

This is the best studio in HB and we have been to most of them. This one is much farther for us but it is worth it. Their coaches and instructors and staff are better than any others we've been to in HB. Whenever we try a closer studio we are so disappointed on so many levels. My daughter has danced at multiple locations in Newport, Costa Mesa and Los Angeles, this studio compares to the best she's been to in those areas. Currently, my daughter just has to do drop in's due to schedule issues, but it's the only studio in HB that she will go to. I happened to pop on to see the schedule and saw the Yelp link, so I wanted to contribute. OH! Also, my daughter started coming here in Jr. High and the girls were nothing but sweet and welcoming to her. They added her to group chats and were very friendly. This is a great studio. read more

My daughter loves to dance here. Her instructor is a great teacher, and also makes it very fun. This is a family run business which makes it a comfortable place to leave my daughter. read more

Registered through City of Fountain Valley city for an 8 week tumbling class. Nice instructors as they change week by week. My biggest gripe is they NEVER start on time. Class is one hour and it ends up being a 40-45 minute class because they always start late. So they start late and end on time. Reasons for this seem to be someone else using the room to practice a routine or the instructor is just sitting there with her phone. Big waste of time. I have a few sessions left but will forgo it so I'm no longer waking up early to get there on time only to wait 15-20 mins for class to start. I gave it a 2 because the instructor saw my child was struggling and suggested another tumbling class to teach her the basics. So at least they're kind of considerate. read more

I would have to echo many amazing characteristics which other people have said about HDA. Tiffany Hudson and ALL staff members are WONDERFUL ! The studios environment has always been professional, encouraging and nurturing to our young dancer (9 yr.). My daughter has been there for 2 years now, and worked hard to get on their competition dance team (both team dances and solo), we couldn't be happier with her growth as a dancer. The care & professionalism of ALL the staff at HDA are the reason of which I have recommended HDA to many friends and family members who have little ones. Dance moms/parents get along too, we support each other's little dancers to not just focused on winning and more focused on becoming incredible dancers of their own, and at the same time, do well academically. The older level dancers are very well-liked and supportive of each other and the little dancers, too. It is difficult to find a dance studio with all so many nice and supportive people in one place. Thank you for everything that HDA has done for our girl, look forward to many more great year with you. A Dance Dad. read more

We came from another studio, not knowing anyone here. This studio was 100% better than our last. Very helpful and friendly staff, that really care about each individual dancer and family. We are so glad we gave it a chance. We've been here for two years now and still absolutely love it! read more

Absolutely love this dance school. I had my daughter signed up for Jazz with Ms. Tiffany and she loved it so much I signed her up for jazz, ballet and hip hop. Ms. Tiffany and the other instructors are very attentive to the children. My daughter absolutely loves every one here. My daughter was very insecure before coming here and since coming here her confidence is through the roof. All the instructors motivate the children to do their best. So happy we found this place. I can't wait too see how far my daughter progresses in her dance. Thanks so much HDA! read more

I love this place everyone is friendly and attentive to the children and my daughter has picked up so much technique and structure while having fun at the same time. Great dance academy! Miss Tiffany is great and so is the lady at the front she is so sweet. Sign your kids up! read more

This is my daughter's second season with Hudson Dance Academy! Tiffany and staff are the BEST! The studios environment has always been professional, encouraging and supportive with each dancers goals. read more

My nieces started going to HDA about 2 years ago without a clue about ballet. It is amazing to see how much they have grown in ballet and tap in their time there. The instructors are top-notch and passionate about teaching the kids. Here we are 2 years later and they have helped instill that same passion, dedication and hard-work in my girls :) We absolutely LOVE HDA! read more

The owner, Tiffany Hudson is passionate about dance and that is shown through her commitment to her students. Students that she has taught and worked with over the years come back after college to work with the kids. My nephew dances there and he truly loves to dance and be with his friends. From the front desk to the instructors all are professionals and know what they are doing. When I drop my nephew off at the studio I feel that he is learning in a safe supportive environment. I highly recommend this studio to others. read more

I would recommend this school to any child or adult seeking to get the best dance instruction. The teachers are patient and really take the time needed to train your children in their dance craft. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. read more

One of the best studios I have ever attended! So passionate with their students and the staff is amazing! Every student is treated fairly and the staff loves their kids dearly! Great levels of opportunity and growth here no matter what level!!! Not so focused on winning and more focused on making kids became incredible dancers! read more

Can't say enough about Tiffany Hudson and her teachers/choreographers. Best thing to happen to my daughter.

AMAZING place to not only start to learn to dance...but get good enough to compete. I am a guy, and don't know perfect technic, but all the instructors or true dancers. When they instruct they can actually demonstrate the moves the want the kids to do. This place is warm and friendly with a amazingly talented instructors. I have two daughters going there and they love the hip hop classes and the Saturday tumbling classes. I thought when they wanted to go it's like somersaults or something...but its not. kids that can do it are doing ariels...kids that can't do the closest thing...long story short they understand kids strengths and weakness and play to their strengths. read more

We love this studio! If you have a dancer in your house, this is a great place to be. Small class sizes, kind experienced teachers, and brand-new facilities. Yes, please! We've been at this studio since its recent opening and have seen such an improvement in our daughter's dancing. There is a wide variety of classes offered, and all classes have qualified and trained teachers. This studio is a breath of fresh air! read more

This studio is awesome and their walls are nicely painted.

Love love this place. First off they are great with kids. They enjoy what they do and they really teach your kids. My daughter loves going. It has 3 dance rooms. The waiting area could be bigger n have chairs instead of couches, maybe benches next to dance rooms but it's cozy. The lessons are basic dances, jazz ballet, tap some hip hop. It's a great place. read more

My daughter was going thru a rough patch in her life. She was an incredible gymnast but broke her ankle over and over and was in a cast on and off for 2 years. She use to dance as well but Knowing her gymnastic career was over she became a bit depressed. My daughter use to dance with Ms. Tiffany at another studio a while back and we all loved her! When Ms. Tiffany opened her own studio, I brought my daughter in to sign her up. I explained to Ms. Tiffany my daughters situation and she nurtured her! Was so encouraging and I have my baby back! I have never met a bunch of instructors who are so incredibly gifted with teaching Dance! Who love their students and are so involved with the parents as well! We love Hudson dance academy and highly recommend this studio to all. read more

I have been looking for a studio that not only teaches dance but understands that young people need self confidence. My 14 year old loves this place and enjoys her classes very much. I have seen her make new friends and her self esteem has improved over the past few months. All the instructors I have met are dedicated and focused on bringing out the best in their students. I feel blessed to have discovered this place (Right near my Dentist Office). If you are looking for good instruction, value for money and a good positive environment then this is the place for your young dancers! read more
