Poser-city, terrible floors, no barres, no A/C, sardine can parking lot. Aside from the fancy decorations covering a run-down cramped studio, this is not the place for any legit serious dancer. The staff aren't very friendly at all, superficial and shallow. read more

Not rating the classes, just the new location of the studio... If you can manage to find a parking spot that does not include valet, a parking ticket, or a paid meter, congrats! And if you can manage to cross the street to get to Millennium without getting pummeled by the insane Ventura Blvd. drivers, then you're really winning! Gorgeous new space, lots of grande studios. But parking and accessibility alone deters me from coming back. read more

I loved this place! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because I took a beginner hip hop dance class and didn't feel that it was really set up for beginners. The dance instructor was great, but just felt the choreography he taught was WAY to fast for beginners who are wanting to get in to it! The location is great, the style of the building is great, but beware because this place is so famous and popular it gets crowed! I will keep attending to see if it's for me and my new healthy way of living! I does make you feel better about yourself when class is over! read more

Kids on kids on kids on parents on kids on kids on kids on kids on kids..... ‍ the amount of kids in classes here is beyond creepy. The lack of spacial awareness and class etiquette seems to be rewarded. Anyone above the age of 20 knows. It's like being at a convention... but thinking you left that world a decade ago...nightmare. It feels super creepy trying to take yourself seriously as a professional dancer with all these children surrounding you. With their parents glued to the window literally hovering over you, it's the creepiest vibe for a studio of such a high caliber. Also, the kids parents are always double parked like asswholes taking up 2 spots with one car just waiting for their kids, even though their children taking classes don't have to fight for parking and they could actually illegally park and wait in the car... You also feel like you have to filter your language and sexuality in the adult professional classes because they are bombarded with children. Can we talk about how awkward it is when kids are just rolling up in heels classes now too? Like are your growth plates even finished growing or are you just ruining the children's bodies for the dope Instagram and YouTube views. Most of the teachers above 30 are awesome teachers, and I will not take that away from them. But they rarely teach here or probably don't have enough of a following to be anything besides a sub. Then there's this whole generation of YouTube / Instagram dancers that have like 100k - 5 million followers who are really good dancers and age 18-20. Good dancers don't equate to good educators. Another rant for another time, but they shouldn't be teaching yet. I took this master class once for $20 from an influencer who's younger than me, and I loved his musicality, but it was the worst taught class I've ever taken. It is shocking how bad at teaching the majority of their teachers are. I paid $20 too. So many regrets and frustrations. Also, let's say you're class starts at 9 pm. What that means is roll up groove and take Instagram stories until 9:30 pm. Class starts at 9:35 pm. This isn't like a we start 5 minutes late because everyone is living their life like at Edge, this is... we're so fashionably late we actually started half an hour late.... deal with it. This is supposed to be a professional studio; not like a Tiffany's tutus beginner ballet for tiny tots at your neighborly small town children's studio... this is supposed to be where REAL WORKING PROFESSIONAL DANCERS can train. Prices have increased. We know the money's not going to staff, teachers, or cleaning crew, so I can imagine it's only going towards their instafamous cinematographers. I believe it's $17 / class without the SAG discount. Which I'm sorry, but this isn't BDC in New York... those teachers actually teach you how to dance. I honestly don't mind paying $16 at edge because their teachers are phenomenal and educate. I don't mind paying $16 at playground bc it's so chill and fun. Millennium is just stress ball Change. Bathrooms are up to par with Santa Monica's public restrooms. Smells are woof. Floors are new, yet never cleaned, so feels like they were waxed with sweat and oils... you know somewhat like a slip and slide ice skate rink in all of the classrooms. Obviously a safe environment in your stiletto heels. All classes are hot / overcrowded. Many people are not clean with their own sanitation so you can imagine how those smells contribute. You feel as if you're in line for the bougiest vegas club just to get into class because they forgot to make a lobby. You know how all some auditions just bring dancers in they don't need to see so they can get some free footage of "look at all the dancers that came to audition for me ".... welll those same cattle call lines at auditions are not different than waiting to get into class here. Studio rentals: you'd be better off saving some money & hiring an entire production crew over getting permission to film at millenium. $$$$$$$$$$$$ ( it's not a real sound stage or anything, but they think it is) why so many $$$$$$ signs. In conclusion: Unless you are an international tourist that doesn't know any better / only knows what you see on Instagram, stay away. Coming to Millenium is just like going to Hollywood Blvd. You have to do it to say you've done it, but once you've been dragged in a few times, it's a place I try to avoid at all costs. read more

I came all the way from Russia to do the certificate program and I'm very disappointed. Not only me but all of certificate program students I've talked to. I paid $1900 for the certificate, when I could just buy "dance pass" that would be 3 times cheaper and anyway there is no difference between just taking the classes or being in certificate program. In the Certificate Program you are randomly taking classes like everybody else from outside, all by yourself, we are not receiving guidance as expected. There is no help in auditions as well. Also they say on the website that you will have a core teacher that will guide your progress throughout the program - is a lie too. There are no core teachers and guidance at all. even for the privates you should stay in huge line so probably by the end of the program you still won't have an opportunity to have a private with this teacher. Half of the Teachers don't care about you and your progress. They just care about show themselves off and make u feel ashamed on the class, some teachers like Amy Morgan (Heels techniques) laughs at you when you make questions. And some like michelle Jersey (Hottie heels) makes you do difficult and dangerous posses like staying on your head etc without even asking you if it's your first time and whether you have some problems with the back. Popular teacher's classes are over crowded, I think MDC should have some limit for number of people attending the class, but of course they won't because they just care about getting more money! Sometimes you don't even see the teacher and cannot catch the choreo, and you dont see yourself in the mirror. they don't even know if you're inside a program or not, you attend classes with everybody else and there is no separation between the levels. there are very few beginners classes and only for hiphop, the rest of the styles are intermediate/advanced level. So you don't really learn how to dance people come there just to show off and be on the videos and also I noted that teachers used to put their own friends in the videos but not people in the class. Dancing space is dirty even when we're taking classes in the morning the floor is all dirty and there's a lot of dust and hair on the floor. the other day the dust was everywhere we couldn't even breathe normally and I had irritation on my eyes. The air conditioning frequently breaks. So we dance like in sauna. Its impossible to dance and learn in this sauna during the whole class so several times I had to leave the class to avoid fainting. I think that if we pay thousands of dollars for these classes at list we deserve a clean classroom and an air conditioning. MDC Dormitory: It's different from the way it was advertised on the website. There is a pic of the living room on the website, but in the reality there is no living room, because the room with the kitchen that was supposed to be living room - has 6 beds in it. So you pay 900$ per month to live in the kitchen. And have no privacy. There are total 16 girls in the dorm!! And only 2 WC and 3 showers. Sometimes we have problem with water supply, like we had once the entire morning without water. Cleaning lady comes once a week and everybody is obliged to stay outside of house from 10.30 to 15.00 - that's ridiculous! Why I have to go find a place to stay outside if I want to stay at home that I paid for! And the day she comes we only have classes at night, but you still have to wake up early to go somewhere to kill your time and by the evening you get so tired that don't want to go to classes anymore. Rafaela (responsible manager for the dorm) is very nice and understanding. Millenium staff: Some are nice, some of them work like they're doing you a favor. GinLi (one of the managers) is quite helpful though. Melanie (Certificate Program manager) seems nice but she is always so busy and late, so she doesn't have time for students, and Certificate Program student are kind of left all alone. Some of the student just talked to her once during all the Certificate Program. And this is NOT the kind of guidance MDC advertises on their website. AnnMarie - CEO of the MDC, the b*chiest person I've ever met. She doesn't even want to talk and listen to you. She was very rude with me when I was trying to get her help in a situation where MdC charged me money without my permission, and other situations I faced which she totally could solve, she wouldn't even want to start to understand and try to help. So she not only didn't help me in problems I had, but also she treated me very disrespectfully and ignored my emails and me when I tried to talk personally. As a result I lost a lot of money with this school but the worst is that feeling you have while you're here - feeling of being used, fooled and disrespected. read more

First time here, bad experience! Came to to take a dance class with Nika Klijun when she didn't show. I asked for a refund and was refused. I was told they didn't know who the instructor would be until the day off. I asked why didn't I get an email of the change, wasting my time and money, there was no response. THIS STUDIO USES BIG NAMES TO ATTRACT DANCERS AND MAKE THEM FEEL FORCED TO TAKE THE CLASS WITH THEIR SUBS!! NICK LANZISERA WAS ALSO A NO SHOW FOR THE NEXT DAY. Coincidence? read more

Ok guys, let me preface this by saying that I'm by no means a professional industry dancer, but I have professional dance experience. Millennium is a perfect platform for dancers to come and get exposed and be scene. It's for seasoned dancers trying to get scouted for gigs. they offer incredible dance classes from well connected creative industry professionals. However this isn't somewhere to come and learn the one two steps of dance. For me who doesn't want to gain industry experience, but want to explore dance for myself, this place has just become a place for me to make connections with dance teachers who offer private lessons, such as Brinn (owner of pumpfidence). Unfortunately it's easy to get lost in a crowd and fall through the cracks when regular dancers come to class, so I have to come take privates, which is fine. I also rent space here a lot too for my private classes. Parking sucks at night, and it's a rough area. The front staff isn't too friendly, kind of snooty because millennium is a cult that you are either IN or OUT of. Don't come here expecting to train, come here for exposure. DO YOUR RESEARCH ON TEACHERS BEFORE YOU PAY FOR THEIR CLASS SO YOU WONT BE DISAPPOINTED. 45 minutes is learning choreo, 30 mins is filming usually. So don't expect to be corrected. There are specific gem teachers who care about growth, so do your research. Lots of international people, very diverse, very creative. read more

Ok....one more for the night before I'm sleep deprived.... Heres my last review of the four major dance studios in LA. Ah Millenium...pretty much one of the oldest hip hop focused studios in LA...other granddaddy being Debbie Reynolds. This place was really popular in the 90s and 2000s. Part of the Nsync and Britney era. Which you can clearly see when you goto this place. All the walls with signed posters of Britney, Usher, Nsync etc. And since been around awhile the place while clean its seen better younger days. Really need a remodel. Getting old to the point of looking like a hole in the wall dump. In terms of type of Hip Hop its more in the bubble gum commericial type of hip hop...ie..the mentioned Britneys, JLos etc. Which if you like that type of style Millenium is perfect for you. Its their niche. Unlike the other 3 major studios like: Edge-Jazz/Ballet, Debbie Reynolds-Street hip hop, and Movement Lifestyle-Urban hip hop. Teachers are pretty much some of the dancers currently working as backup dancers for Beyonce, Justin Timberlake etc....ie...the mentioned commericial hip hop. Classes are offered throughout the day from 11am to 10pmish. And the only studio thats opened pretty much 365 days a year. Even xmas eve they open. I guess good for you guys who can't go without dance for even a day! Parking is on the streets or some few spots in the back. And another big negative for me is the price. Its the most expensive of the studios. Per class is $15 compared to the other studios who charge $13-$11. I guess since they think they are famous you have to pay premium price? You do get discount if you buy in bulk but I don't like how its pretty much forced on you to do that if want to dance there on a consistent affordable basis. Millenium is a decent place for hip hop. You can experience what that commericial type of hip hop is about. Its just that Debbie Reynolds or Movement Lifestyle seems to be where that hardcore from the street hip hop is these days. And these two studios I would go if really want to train in hip hop. Anyway, take a chance and go check out any of the studios and go dance! Will change your life! read more

I'm done coming here. It's like someone holding up a gun to my head to take class here. So much bullying here, classes doesn't feel like class. It feels like we're just dancing for the views. There's no guidance anymore. Dance class is supposed to be about learning and focusing on new things, but it's not. It's all about YouTube & views and doing cool things. It's not training anymore. Then the staff doesn't tell you fine prints. I had to cancel my reservation because of traffic and they never said that I couldn't get my money back. I called again and said you have to cancel two days in advance to get it back. Well shit next time tell the person that when they do a reservation. This place is a JOKE. It's just for the professionals and no one else. read more

I've got my groove back. Took a beginning hip hop class and learned a sweet pop and lock routine and now all I want to do is dance everyday. Expect to walk into the class and learn at a pretty fast pace, faster than you would expect for a "beginner" Yeah the studios are small and hot and the classes can tend to get overcrowded but I love learning this style of pop/hip hop. For me it's worth it to work up a sweat and bump to the latest songs. Yes it would be good to mix a traditional class into it every now and then but admit it, dontcha wanna dance just like Justin (actually, can I dance with him?!?) This is the place to go to learn this style. The classes are cheap too, you can get a "book" for 100.00 and for a girl whose mom used to pay over two hundred dollars a month for 8-12 classes, this is a deal. Now...a few more classes and you will see me in Britney's comeback video (or.....not....) read more

This studio is AWESOME! The energy is amazing and the classes are EVERYTHING! Doesn't matter what your skill level, there's a class for you. It's the new home for DRENCHED and you are guaranteed to live out the name, and have a great time. Want to learn new dance moves, advance your dance skills, or just get a good workout? THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! Give it a try...you'll thank me later read more

I LOVE Millennium. First you walk in and see the walls lined with pictures of dance legends and celebrities that have all passed through this studio. Invigorating energy and inspiration fills the studio with students of all ages leaving it all on the floor. Every day there is a variety of classes taught by amazing, successful, and caring instructors. I'm awed by every class I take here. It can be a challenge to keep up with the choreography, especially if it's crowded,but the teachers are really helpful if you need them to go over something and they have you do it in groups throughout the class too. From my experience the most crowded classes tend to be hip hop; I took a contemporary class and it wasn't too bad. At the end of class you'll perform the combination in groups and you'll have the opportunity to take videos. And if you get a little starstrucked by the instructors like I do, they'll let you take pictures with them as well. Really talented people go to Millennium, even professionals, so it's always fun to go and get inspired by those you're taking class with. Also the price is amazing if you get the class packs! You can pay as low as $5.25 per class, so if you're looking for intensive, eclectic training this is the place to go...they even offer yoga. read more

this place is amazing! We have been coming to MDC for about 5 years on and off (I moved to the westside & didn't come for about a year). They have great staff that are balancing a wild and crazy weekend crowd and they do it with professionalism. LOVE THEM! My two daughters participate in the Jr. Program and have been attending for the past five years. The voice coach, Justin - inspiring & out of this world supportive of all VOICES! He coaches all ages on Saturday. He makes it fun & has the wonderful knack, of all great teachers, to bring out the best in his students. I cannot stress the importance of what he does. My youngest daughter "Found her voice" thanks to Justin. She had a little tinny voice and would NOT sing. After her second lesson with Justin SHE LITERALLY BELTS out songs and loves to sing. My oldest is a natural singer and he has trained her to stand, breathe, walk, talk and sing stronger and has also helped her self esteem tremendously. My daughters also take jazz & hip-hop. We've tried other dance studios and THERE IS NO COMPARISON!!!! This IS THE PLACE! Jabari is the bomb(adorable, too)! He is playful with the kids, but demanding of them in a fun way, he is a great dancer and all the kids love him. His moves are always age appropriate and it is a great work out for both of my girls (one is 8 the other 11). He finds the balance of challenging and fun and he always has the best music. Every Saturday my daughters are downloading the tunes they heard with Jabari. They have only experienced the best while here. Even the subs are energetic, fun & so creative! Plus SWEET! No DIVAS allowed on the teaching staff apparently. (I LOVE that!) The front desk staff have been nothing but friendly. Personnally, I don't know how they handle the crazy stuff that goes on with the crowds, but they do and they try desperately to make each experience a good one. What I really LOVE about this place? It's magical... really for the kids, it is a magical place... We drive from Agoura Hills past tens if not hundreds of other dance studios and my girls BOUNCE out of bed each Saturday to go to Millennium. I have seen such a difference in my daughters self confidence and it truly is inspriring to find this gem and to be able to go each week and have such a great time. I've been coming to Millennium for about 5 years and I will be coming until my daughters can drive themselves! read more

Great teachers, great choreography, staff is a little stuck up, and pretty much that and ventilation are the only downsides :) Easy things to improve!! I give Millennium a 3 out of 5 stars :) read more

If you are a beginner I do not recommend going to this studio at all. This is a professional level studio where the words BEGINNER and BASIC are completely misused. I am a beginner who has never taken a dance class. I called and told them that and they said to take beginner hip hop class. I was at a level 1 in skill and that class to me was at a level 78. professional level with amazing dancers moving at blazing speed. I don't know what was going on but to the world the word "beginner" means BEGINNER. I talked to the teacher after as to what class he recommends and he said "basic" as he had seen my struggles. So I went to basic and that class was ten times hard then beginner!!! I learn skills VERY quickly.. I'm an ex professional athlete in addition to another sport where I qualified to represent my country in the Olympics. I have also taught gymnastics level 1 thru 3 and have ran schools in my other sport. This was a complete disappointment. The teacher kept showing off by doing insane moves that half of the class couldn't do. On top of that he would go off every once in a while and people would just stand there and clap. Never would any schools or gymnastics etc label a class basic or beginner and then have you throw a triple back tuck or do advanced moves before you learn the basics. The teacher also would never make you stand there multiple times and have you watch them so their ego could be filled. The teacher TEACHES the student learns. Well I have ranted enough. Maybe when I achieve a professional level at dancing will I be ready for the beginner level at Millennium...... So on a positive note if you are professional or VERY talented with dance and you want a place to train then try Millennium. read more

I've been here quite a few times. Location is the NoHo arts district on Lakershim... good luck hunting for a parking spot. Taken the HipJazz class and the Basic, Beginner and Intermediate Hip Hop classes. Those labels aren't really that accurate as it starts out at those levels but after 15 minutes it exponentially gets harder. Classes ALWAYS start 10-20 minutes late and as a result end 10-20 minutes late, which isn't cool but whatever. All-in-all lot's of Celebs and Hollywood hopefuls come here so you're kind've paying a premium on the celebrity'ness of it. Anywho... it's good to learn some basic moves and learn / craft on your own. We did the CUPID HUSTLE last week and now I'm YOUTUBE'ing the steps and working at it at home. read more

At first the receptionist was a bit snooty. She definitely rubbed me the wrong way. But after talking to her for a while, she seemed to warm up to us and stopped seeming like such a beezy. So my friend and I decided to come to the Hip Hop class on Thursdays at 9pm. We got there early so watched the class before ours started for a while. And literally, I WAS INSPIRED!!! I was soooo excited! I haven't taken a dance class in sooooo long! I couldn't wait for that class to end so I could get my ass in there and learn something. Then... the time came... we walked in... we stretched... the instructor started teaching... AND I WAS COMPLETELY LOST!!!!! OMG!!! I felt like such a retard in the back of the room not knowing what to do. The instructor taught a very intricate routine and went through it quickly. and I mean QUICKLY!!!!!!! I couldn't keep up so we left. But no worries, we'll be back next week for the beginners class. All the dancers work their asses off. Everyone is dripping sweat! But they are all sooooo good! The studio is a little stuffy, smelly and hot. But its worth it :D read more

I love the new Facility! my daughter takes Voice with Justin Koplin who is the most amazing angel voice and trainer anyone will train with. My daughter also takes Hip-Hop with Jabari who is super cool and amazing choreographer. I highly recommend this fcility. My daughter started with other teachers there and one amazing coach for the younger age is Coach Sophia she is unique and you better have a strong shell as a child and parent to work with her which I LOVE!!! The Tucker Family read more

While this studio is known as the studio to take hip hop class in LA, they are not the top studio anymore. Many of the other studios in the area have upgraded and their facilities out do Millenium ten-fold. The studios are old and always smell of sweat. Classes are also the most expensive in the area at $15 a class. Another downside is that half the time, most of the teachers they have, don't really teach. Overall though, it's a nice studio to come take hip hop in every once in a while. But in my opinion, there are other studios that offer you more for a better price! read more

Customer service sucks. I had a problem with the studio/membership. I was given the name of the manager. I wrote to her. No response. I emailed her the same letter. No response. Remailed the email. No response. What do u think? read more

You don't go to Millennium to have your hand held. Customer service by the receptionists sucks ass. Basically, if they don't know you, prepare to be ignored. The teachers can't really adapt the class to each student since there's so many people. People come to Millennium to be inspired. The amazing students and teachers are very passionate. It's not about individual attention, so don't expect it. You don't have to be advanced, as long as you check your ego at the door. This is a great place because the dancers that kick ass make you want to kick your ass into shape and be the better dancer. read more

First of all, I cannot overstate how much I appreciate that classes here are an hour-and-a-half long. Where other studios with one hour classes are rushed to pound out some choreography, the longer class time at Millenium allows students to warm up and fine tune, both of which are especially important if you are a beginner to a particular style and your body does not (yet) move a certain way! I took the beginning Hip Hop class with Nicky T, and he was really great in this regard. He may be one of only a handful of instructors to actually drill the vocabulary that will be in choreography into the warm-up. This really helps later when you want to concentrate on the routine instead of getting lost in unfamiliar technique. Ventilation seemed pretty decent, though the sound quality was variable and maybe affected me a bit, since I depend a lot upon musicality to remember a combination :D You should also check ahead of time on who is teaching, as subbing appears rather common. Although there is a distinct culture in each studio, I'm finding that signing up with an instructor who responds to the different levels of their students and appeals to your personal style will be better determinants of your class experience. I look forward to updating as I try more at Millenium. read more

For someone that drives an hour to get to and from class, trust me, you'll love Millennium. They offer a great variety of classes and class times, that you are sure to find something to fit your needs and schedule. Prepare to be inspired by the international talent and choreographers here! read more

Millennium Dance Complex - Ballet with Kana - Dance Studios Near Me - Studio City, California

All they care about is filming each other at the end of class now. The same select dancers are chosen every time to get filmed while everyone else stands around. This makes the class run late almost all of the time. They are more concerned with "going viral" rather than including all people who pay for the class. If you go there to take a class be prepared to be standing back and Watching for the last 10 minutes of class. The dancers are great, but everyone is paying to be there. I remember when nobody was allowed to film classes. Those were the days read more

I agree very overrated and now to see MTV is shooting a lot of footage there for "Dance Life" it's probably going to get even crazier and harder to take classes there. I'm big on being able to just stop in and take classes, not make "reservations"...although their faculty is well-known and talented. read more

So Its been a little over one Year of Hard Work Dancing and Learning New Moves and Styles Stuck it out and continue to push myself all the time and now it just flows like water.. Millennium Dance Complex place has changed my life in such a Big Big Way... So Blessed !!! A great place to work on my self as a Dancer and Performance Artist What a Amazing Dance Studio and a Great group of the Best Teachers all under one Roof Its Hard work but with dedication it is Very rewarding and Fun to let go and flow with Dance It will change your Life and in Turn your dancing will change other peoples life's So lets Go come on down and Get down and Dance !!! read more

This place is the coolest! This is where I go every Monday as my therapy. Hahaha well to make it simple just to lose all the stress in my body. I love dancing, i have been dancing since grade school till college. after college i just stopped and now finally i found a place where i can do again what i love to do. I tried the normal hiphop class but since I haven't danced for a while I kinda had a hard time following so I just decided to join the beginners group and it's fun. although right now im switching to hiphop since the steps in beginning is kinda getting old. hehehe i also try to come as often as i can now. I gave 4 stars coz it could be better if their dance studios are well ventilated and the teacher teaches different step every week. But over all I love MDC! See you on Monday! read more

My first visit to this studio. Great class with Nick Lanzisera! My only issue is that at least a few of the staff lead with rudeness instead of a welcoming smile. read more

Neat seeming school. The front desk staff seems hit or miss. I spoke with a couple of very nice women and an immature-seeming titchy man :b The class and teachers were nice but definitely crowded :( P.S. I just changed my stars from a 4 to a 3 :b. Like the other commenters have said, it seems whoever does the hiring isn't really interested about customer service (even though they have very egalitarian slogans on their walls, some staff ironically treat ppl pretty badly :b). read more

This place has really gone downhill. It used to be the best place to see truly professional and experienced dancers teach as well as get down, with genuinely original choreography. Now it's a bit played out, the teachers are not as good (although there are still some very original originals that are amazing that still teach) and may not be the best place to grow as a dancer considering that most of the talent is only mediocre. Good space for rehearsals, not too pricey, but know to use your time wisely because as soon as your time is up, they kick you out for the next space reservation, which is great if it's you! read more

I love Kana's ballet class and it is awesome. The level is beginning to intermediate, and she takes time to help beginners. I have also taken Laura's and Tasha's classes, and they are great too. They have great hip hop and jazz classes too. I have heard great things about Shotyme's basic hip hop class. read more

I love this place. I wish there was one closer to me... but the drive is worth it. Everything is organized and the staff is great! The Bathrooms and the studios are clean. My daughter LOVES it here. We drive almost an hour once a week just so she can dance with the best of the best! I definitely recommend this studio! It's awesome! read more

Some of the instructors are amazing but when I addressed one of my concerns with one of the instructor who spent 1/2 her time talking rather than teaching my son dance, two of the front office staff shared they would have the manager contact me. We drove over an hour to attend the class and just wanted to share our feedback. Unfortunately no one called and this demonstrates their lack of professionalism on valuing each client concern and helping their instructors improve and adjust their teaching styles for kids who are 8-10 years of age. Very disappointed. read more

Disappointing. Took my toddler for a dance class supposedly with PAOLA ACEVEDO but some other instructor showed up. Not only was he frustrated, impatient and bad with kids,but his instructions were too complicated for them. I don't expect the dance instructor to have a child development degree but it should atleast be a requirement for them to enjoy kids and their little free spirited minds. A dance class is somewhere they can go and express themselves and enjoy dance. Some kids will be more talented than others and follow along and some won't. Little kids are free spirits, even though teaching discipline is valuable, they should also foster that childhood experimental wonder. Let the ones that zone out just be in their own world. The instructor who was there was terrible with my child and borderline rude and irritable. Keep long story short, Never again! No wonder the class was pretty empty. Waste of time and money. read more

Security guard is completely rude and not helpful, parking is terrible, and the girls at the front dont seem like they want to be there.

Easy and helpful and affordable rehearsal space to rent!

I've always liked dancing at Millennium. Its a different atmosphere than Debbie Reynolds or IDA but I like that they're all a little different. If you're taking a hip hop class, get there at least 15 minutes early. They fill up fast and sometimes you'll wait in line and be late for the warm up. They're popular, so of course they're gonna be packed. It would be nice if they had cubbies or lockers for you to stow your stuff during class. Especially for those of us who don't drive cars to class. The studios get HOOOOOOOOT during popular classes. Its like dancing in a sauna. But you go to dance class to sweat, so just bring A LOT of water. Kana's Ballet class is my favorite. She goes fast because its not meant as a progressive learning class as much as its a way for trained dancers to keep up, but any time you need explaining, she will gladly slow down and show you. All their technique classes have excellent and thorough warmups. but they're not for the faint of heart or the beginner. If you're looking for a true beginning dance class, Millennium is not for you. Its a place where professional dancers go to keep up their style and technique. read more

THE CUSTOMER SERVICE IS HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do not pay for classes ahead of time because you WILL NOT get a refund regardless of if your flight got moved. And you have 30 days to use this credit, thanks let me fly back out here just to use up my class credit. No. This place is all about the hype and videos, not connections and working WITH the dancers that are fueling the entire business..... read more

I can't speak for their dance classes but if you want to rent a studio space, look elsewhere, this place is a nightmare. I reserved a piano and arrived to find out the only piano they had was double booked. Seriously? No refund. Offered 20% off. Thanks a lot. There is no sound proofing so you have to hear blaring hip-hop music. I asked three people to turn down their music. Two were nice enough. The third, not so much. Front desk asked them to turn down (so they said) and they turned it up even more. Parking is terrible. Never again would I spend my money on a studio space here. Just terrible. read more

I took a class with Niki T. It just said hip-hop, it did not specify the level. His choreography is cool, however, it is the same choreography and music that he has been using for years, "Love Stoned". I thought he tried to cram too much choreography into an hour and only one girl seemed to really be getting it. He did pause and ask us questions a few times which was helpful. Also helpful was the verbal cues/punctuations that he made to help us remember the moves, and when he would go over a section over and over. I would just like to see some new material. For someone just dropping in, it is kind of fast-paced. Parking is another story. Dance class prices have gone up to $16 per, at this location, whereas it was only $12 at the historical Lankershim location. read more
