This was my daughter's first year at Encore. We've been with the studio since February which is the…read morestart of preproduction for June recitals. We just wrapped our last performance today! I couldn't wait to leave my thoughts. In the past 5/6 months with Encore, we have been welcomed in by every single person at the studio. Bonnie and Wendy, and all of the instructors/personnel have been so incredibly kind, informative and supportive of all the kids! Every detail of their policies and procedures have been well communicated, trust me I have a million emails to prove it! Haha. I knew what to expect the whole time with costume fees, fundraising, and most importantly what to expect of my time. As a single mom, working her way through nursing school, struggling to keep the bills paid...I know that every bit of my sleepless nights to work overtime in order to pay for my daughters way has been worth every bit of it. I would gladly pour into my daughter's passion for dance at this studio. Ms. Mikayla was so patient and supportive of the combo class kids and challenged them to never give up. Her coreo was amazing, along with all of the other instructors and their routines. The amount of friends we have made at the studio has made the experience so enjoyable. This past weekend was tough, because that's the nature of performance but it was worth all of the hard work everyone put into it. When my little girl (7 years) stopped to take everything in on the stage after performances and broke down in tears to thank me for bringing her to Encore, it made me feel like all of the hardships her and I have endured couldn't touch us. I think that says something about a studio. They aren't an institution that steal money and couldn't care less about the families who attend. They make you their family. As cliche and cheesy as that sounds, it is true to the core. I am looking forward to all the many more sleepless nights to keep my baby happy in a place that she finds purpose. I can not thank Encore enough for the joy they have offered us.

Our dance instructor Daria is the best, as good as they come. She knows a bunch of dances as both the leader and follower, and her instruction has really helped me improve my technique and confidence in regard to footwork, frame, and general move repertoire. Beginner friendly. Very flexible with scheduling. I've also attended a couple social dances and competitions here and the vibes are always friendly and fun. This is very much a hidden gem dance studio, I highly recommend checking it out

And there's so much yummy food around to enjoy before or after. Coming here is easily the highlight of my week.

They answering message claims that they are the best ballroom in California, but I'm not sure how they can stand on that claim.

They should really change the phone message, because I've been to better and larger ballrooms with very successful competitive teachers in California.

My step-daughter has been attending Dancemaker for the last 4-5 years. She started when she was…read morejust a toddler and my overall experience with the studio has gone from very positive to very negative. Overall, it's an uncomfortable environment where the owners are always yelling/arguing with each other right in front of the parents/kids. I also find it unacceptable the constant yelling that occurs between the owners towards the other teachers. My "1" star rating is based on the following: 1) Unprofessional behavior (yelling/arguing) between the owners. 2) Dirty Bathrooms with no paper towels. Cloth towels are provided, but the same towel is used daily by everyone. Surfaces are never disinfected such as benches, doorknobs, and handrails. 3) Chaos in every recital. Constant changes are rarely communicated. 4) Love the recital but tired of seeing the owner (Geoff) in every other number. I come to see the kids perform, not a 60-year-old man performing with teenage girls. 5) Covid-19 Epidemic: As all the schools, universities, gyms, bars, movie theaters and restaurants closed, owners choose to keep dance studio open putting our kid's safety at risk. When the city placed restrictions, the owner stated they were staying open and simply setting their own guidelines (not adhering to the CDC guidelines) to keep students safe. When the entire state shuts down, how can Dancemaker be the only exception?

Head towards the fountain at the end of the plaza. The suite is on the second floor to the left of the elevator. My toddler absolutely loves her dance class. She didn't do well in gymnastics or swim but she can most definitely follow along with the spinning and twirling in the toddler class. The classes are only 20 minutes, which is great for little ones attention span. Highly recommended if you're looking for a fun, short dance class for a toddler around age 3 :)

I asked her if she knew about the dance recital? Nope. The whole time, we couldn't go up stairs to see to studio(only from zoom). so how are we suppose to know the dances? We both felt like we were left in the dark and didn't know what was going on. When I saw the dance recital on Facebook, I was so disappointed my daughter wasn't in there and neither was my friends daughter. Miscommunication I guess or post.
