They don't really allow parents to watch which is why I took off one star. I loved watching my daughter dancing. They don't have a lot of sitting inside but they have more sitting available outside. Everything looked clean which I liked. I might sign her up again once we are done with other activities we are doing at the moment.

Almost every class she has a new concept or dance choreography, makes it so much fun to learn. You can tell she puts her heart and soul in every class. She also teaches you details so you can get better! Her classes helped build up my confidence and dancing. The community of women who attend are the sweetest and supportive! I've made good friendships already! I've never danced heels/hip hop before and dance has been so new to me in general, but I've made so much progress by my 7th class! Highly recommend her classes!!!

Alex teaches those who want to compete in dance, and folks like me, who just like to dance, and no longer feel the need to compete. Check out his classes if you want to learn to dance, or dance better. If you decide to go to the studio, the entrance faces Bunsen Ave, so just take the second left on Olivas Park Drive going south from Victoria.

Even if I feel low energy before showing up, just being here I find myself laughing, having fun and feeling so freely joyful. I really appreciate how attuned the instructors are at not only teaching the generic dance steps, but also really seeing what will benefit each student, and teaching accordingly. I'm someone who cares most about the feeling and essence of the dance - I love feeling inspired while dancing, and I really feel this here. I've had the most experience dancing with instructors Ryan, Danielle and Josh and am smiling and laughing with every lesson and class. But all of the instructors seem wonderful.

Now she is in hip hop as well. The teachers are very patient and thorough with them which I appreciated. My daughter enjoys coming to dance twice a week. And Jill (the owner) is amazing to the kids, parents and her business! We can't wait to see what the future brings for our little girl in her life of dance! Update: 9/20/16 So we decided to take our daughter out of dance last month. Unfortunately everything above was dwindling during her second year of dance... Jill does not have the courtesy to remember her students name (mine since she's been going there for 2 years). I felt like it is not so welcoming for us or our daughter. At one point my daughter felt bullied and the dance teachers ignored it. They charge a $10 fee per student if a parent does not volunteer to help at recitals. You HAVE make cookies or some sort of dessert for the recitals so THEY CAN SELL THEM to make a profit for themselves. It's ridiculous. We paid last month's tuition in full and our daughter didn't even go once and we didn't see a penny of it back. When I emailed them saying we were taking our daughter out, they had no response. They don't care about anything or anyone. They Don't take credit card payments which is inconvenient for most people. They seem to be doing well with the way they do business. I'm just not going to be a part of it any longer.
