This ballroom studio is such a fantastic place to learn salsa and/or bachata for all levels! We recently joined this ballroom studio and bought an 8-class pass. We're currently on our fourth session, and although the moves are a bit challenging, the instructors here really do try to get to every individual and see what each student's challenges are. What's great is that you will never find yourself with the same partner when you are here, which helps I feel helps you learn better as well. The place is definitely well kept, neat, and they have mirrors all around the facility! The prices are very affordable in comparison to some of the other studios we've seen in the past. Thank you to our awesome instructors! We can't wait to keep coming back!

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

On July 25, 2025, I brought my 4-year-old daughter to her 4:00 PM gymnastics class. We arrived at…read more3:59 PM and, as directed by the front desk, walked through the ballet room to get there. The ballet class was already past its scheduled end time, so we waited until the students finished before passing through. Halfway across the room, the ballet teacher suddenly began yelling at us aggressively. My daughter was terrified. I calmly asked her to lower her voice, but she continued screaming--following us into the gymnastics room in front of dozens of children. I have a heart condition and began feeling unwell from the stress, yet she would not stop. No staff intervened. I assumed the school would handle it properly, but I was wrong. Later, the owner defended the teacher, accused me of being a "criminal," and took zero responsibility. The real victims were my daughter and the many children who witnessed this unprovoked outburst. Parents should be aware of three serious concerns: 1. Poor safety - No security, unattended front desk, and children can easily wander outside to the street. I personally saw a 6-year-old disappear for 20 minutes. 2. Emotionally unstable ballet teacher - Multiple online reviews mention her history of yelling at kids when parents aren't present. 3. Unprofessional management - Canceled classes without notice, no accountability, and intimidation tactics from the owner, Serge. I regret not calling the police that day. If I had, maybe fewer children would be subjected to this behavior. Parents, please protect your children. A school should be a safe, nurturing place--not one where kids are traumatized and parents are threatened.

The owner, Serge, is easily accessible and always willing to listen to any feedback or concerns I have.

Even though our dance was simple, it looked smooth and polished thanks to Bailey's tips and tricks. She made sure we were able to do all the moves perfectly, and we even got to do a cute dip at the end. The first dance was exactly what we were looking for. We did 3 classes which was the perfect amount for us. In less than one week, we had already learned the entire dance. She even filmed us so we could practice more at home. Bailey was so responsive and helpful, and the best teacher. Highly recommended!

She started as a pretty shy beginner at age 6 in the ballet program and has grown so much in confidence and technique. The instructors are patient but very knowledgeable, and I really appreciate that they follow the Royal Academy of Dance curriculum so there is a clear structure and progression. I can see that they provide real training rather than just a casual dance class. We also tried their jazz and hip hop classes and loved how organized and age-appropriate everything is. The environment is fun, but you can still tell the students are actually learning proper technique. I also like that the studio is clean and welcoming, and they have clear communication about schedules and progression. The performances are amazing as well. We're very happy to have found a studio in San Gabriel Valley that balances discipline with encouragement.

Here's your translation:…read more My son has decent athletic ability. At four, he could climb a pole at the park, and by five, he was riding a bike without training wheels. So, I enrolled him in this street dance class. After a year, he still can't do anything. The teacher probably doesn't even know the basics, like the Thomas spin, yet started teaching others. We've decided to stop wasting time with this useless street dance class. If you want your child to actually learn something, don't come here. If you just want to waste your own and your child's time, feel free to sign up. --------------------------------- Reply to this owner: Obviously, my son has been attending classes with you. You're trying to dodge responsibility by claiming he hasn't. I'll be coming tomorrow to cancel your terrible and useless course. Also, your response will be shared with everyone. Not only do you fail at teaching dance, but your attitude is poor, and you have a habit of shifting blame.
