Well, I'm still dancing at the adult classes at Montage and getting into prime fitness despite my physical challenges from injuries. I'm the oldest student in the studio and had not exercised in well over a decade prior to starting classes here a few years ago. The teachers are highly technical and they will always suggest an easier move modification to fit your abilities. As usual, the people here are very inclusive, encouraging and never judge--and believe me I started as a newb and never danced in my youth and mess up all the time. Grateful for a studio where getting fit, flexible and more balanced is fun! read more

I started coming to Montage about a year ago and could not have found a more welcoming place to get back into dancing. Everyone is supportive no matter where you're at with your dance goals. The studio offers a variety of dance styles and opportunities to showcase your efforts. I'd encourage anyone with an interest in dance to come try out a class. read more

This studio just has a really welcoming atmosphere- instructors, fellow students, and the studio owner are respectful, kind, and accepting towards each other. People of all ages visit and are welcomed at this studio, from little kids to older adults, and I love the environment that the studio facilitates for learning. I've grown so much here, and I'm proud to see the people around me grow together with me as well. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night for a drop in hip hop class! We learned an Afro hip hop piece and it was actually quite a fun time! The space was nice and there was more than enough space for us to dance. The mirrors there were generally good enough for us to see ourselves but it was difficult to see ourselves through the small divides between mirrors. Overall, a really fun time and a great place to just stop by! read more

Montage Dance Studio is an amazing place, great for kids. My daughter have been going to the studio for 5 years now and she absolutely loves it. Everyone is amazing, patient and flexible, always making sure the kids are happy and feel comfortable. Every change or event is communicated on time and in details. They have a big variety of classes (hip hop classes, jazz/lyrical/classical ballet, choreography, tap, etc.). They also have Teams, my daughter is in the Jazz Team. The Teams go to shows, have competitions, gift exchanges and so many other fun things. Great, great , great place to be and to have fun! read more

Great selection of adult classes. I hadn't danced in years and wanted to get back into it for some fun/exercise and the creative outlet. I'm able to find what I'm looking for at Montage. The guy who is at the desk most nights (I think his name is Matt) is super friendly and nice. Arielle is a total sweetheart -- she will make you feel so welcome. I've taken her jazz and contemporary and enjoyed both. I have also taken contemporary with Janis and liked it too, she has a great improv vibe going. Looking fwd to more classes, I will eventually try ballet and maybe even hip hop. read more

Montage is a great place for kids! My son took a few classes there this summer and loved it! The instructors are patient, encouraging, and accommodating. My son's balance and coordination have improved so much and quite fast and they were immediately noticed and mentioned to me by his tennis coach. The studio is quite large, with mirrors and all equipment needed for children to thrive. Signing up for classes is easily done online and I absolutely love the variety (they offer hip hop classes, jazz/lyrical/classical ballet, choreography, tap, etc.) They also have a great indoor mask policy in place that they enforce every class. I would highly recommend this dance studio to other parents. read more

I just tried out Bernice's Fitness 30/Dance Conditioning class and absolutely fell in LOVE! The instructor is very knowledgeable, welcoming, encouraging and more importantly was able to give me specific modifications for expectant mothers, since I'm 20 weeks pregnant! My favorite thing about the class was the structure - a little dancing/warm-up in the beginning, a series of weight lifting/ strength building exercises with 1-5lbs free weights for my arms and yoga (with prenatal yoga modifications for expectant mothers). I felt FANTASTIC after class because my shoulders and neck (where I carry my stress) was relieved by the combination of free weights and yoga. The stress was GONE and I can't wait to come back! I love that this is a normal fitness class that my non-preggo friends and preggo friends can take TOGETHER without feeling like we are "holding back the class" or "inconveniencing the group." I'm looking forward to continuing this class throughout pregnancy to help me build strength in my wimpy arms so I can lift the baby AND post-pregnancy so I can tone and shed baby weight. read more

Just finished my first beginner/intermediate Hip Hop class. I had zero dance experience so I had a harder time catching up and memorizing the choreography than others but Lauren (the instructor) was incredibly patient and encouraging. She also has an interesting way of explaining movements so it's easier to understand. We managed to get through about a minute of the song CRZY in one class. Near the end of the class, whatever we covered was recorded and shared with the students so we can practice more outside of the class (which I'll need). Overall, the instructor and staff were super friendly plus the facility is spacious and bright. I'll definitely come back for more classes! read more

This studio has a great variety of dance classes for adults. That's harder to find than you think. I can't tell you how many times my friends and I have taken teen/adult classes where the majority of the students were teenyboppers. Rightfully so but awkward for us, even when we were in college haha. It's fairly affordable to take class here compared to other studios in the South Bay. $17 for first-time drop-ins and moving forward if you choose to pay a one-time $25 registration fee. They offer class passes but you have to use them up within a month or so. I wish they were more flexible with that. I love that the teachers are mindful of the students' skill levels. The choreography is great and doable and they go at a decent pace so dancers can pick up what they're putting down. I also like that in the adult classes, the focus isn't on technique. Yes suggestions are given to make moves cleaner and correct but no need to worry about across-the-floor. The only slight bummer, through no one's fault, is that at the end of class, I don't leave with a dance high. I'm always glad I went but it's not like the can't-fall-asleep-cos-I'm-so-happy/excited-replaying-the-night feeling. It is what it is and I'll continue to go whenever I can :) read more

Unprofessional personal. December was charged for 4 or 5 classes but they closed school for 3 weeks ( holiday break and didn't provide customer service for any info) and performed only 3 classes. Don't go there, you can find better dance school, as we found! read more

Great place to learn how to dance in a nice, pleasant and caring environment . Not too competitive but very professional. My daughter loves it ! read more

My 8­ year old son has been taking Lauren's class for 5 years. (Lauren is the director of Montage Dance Productions). My son was very shy when he was little, and I hoped dance would help increase his self confidence and improve his social skills. In his first class, he was very nervous and just wanted to sit in the corner of the classroom. However, Lauren had a magical way of getting his attention. She smiled at him, held his hand, and danced silly with him. My son just fell in love with dance after that. Lauren is knowledgeable, patient, enthusiastic and kind. She makes all her dance lessons super interesting. She has a dynamic way of encouraging all kids' participation. My son always has positive things to say about her. I'm very pleased that my son is learning so much and is becoming a confident person and dancer. I, a mother of 3 kids, also have been taking Lauren's adult hip­hop classes for the past few years. I really wanted to learn how to dance, as it was my childhood dream, but I was very nervous. I felt very intimidated about looking awkward and I was afraid I wouldn't have a sense of timing. Lauren has an exceptional way of interacting with adult students. She made my first dance lesson very fun. Her sense of humor helped me forget my fear and anxiety. Throughout these years of dancing, she always encourages me to focus on my own personal growth. She always inspires me and my dance friends to become better dancers. I am grateful I've been taught by such an outstanding teacher and admirable person. The current studio is in a convenient location. My kids and I like to walk around downtown after dance classes. The classroom is bright and nicely decorated. Their family program is great for me and my kids to keep enjoying dance at a reasonable price. Highly recommended!!! read more

I signed up my daughter here for Hip Hop Camp for summer activities. She enjoyed and had so much fun dancing! The instructor (Lauren) was very professional and works really well with kids! My daughter can't wait to join the Music Video Camp and regular Hip Hop classes! Highly recommend dance studio in the bay! read more

Both our kids (son 13 and daughter 10) take several classes at Montage. Both kids love attending Montage Dance classes! I love the nurturing and supportive environment they provide for the kids. If you're looking for an activity to boost your child's self-esteem, while having fun then Montage Dance is the place for you. Also, Lauren the director, is an amazing photographer. She took family portraits for us that we will cherish forever. read more

I take a variety of adult dance classes here! The staff is super awesome and friendly. The studios are a good size and the entire facility is always clean. I would highly recommend anyone interested in continuing dance or starting for the first time to come! Drop in classes are always welcomed for al levels! They even have amazing kids classes. I love it here because everyone feels like family. Also the owner/ director Lauren is super great and is the go to for everything! At this studio you don't have to worry or be embarrassed about being an adult wanting to learn dance! Dance is for everyone and is so much fun! read more

My daughter has been taking multiple classes at Montage Dance Productions for the past three years. She is learning different type of dance styles which include ballet, jazz, lyrical and hip hop. We have seen so much skill improvement and confidence on stage in my daughter over the past few years. Lauren also the owner of the studio, is a talented dancer, performer and choreographer herself and we love her choreography! Our teachers Lauren, Sarah and Kelley are all very skillful, friendly, patient and truly care about the Children. We highly recommend Montage Dance Productions to dancers of all ages! read more

Very friendly staff with a great variety of classes and an accommodating schedule for everyone. Highly recommend!

Great studio and friendly staff! 10-class beginner special was great to sample Frankie, LQ, Lauren and Jaylen's classes.

I was looking for a new place to attend dance and fitness classes and this was near my new place. So I tried their drop in option for a hip hop class. I literally spent 40-45 minutes of this class bobbing my head up or down and side to side. We seriously did not move a foot from our original spot for that long. So you can imagine how much fun that class was, and how much I learned. Worst class ever. Complete waste of money. Very disappointed. read more

I attended a beginner/intermediate hip-hop class. Unfortunately, I joined in the middle of learning the second half of choreography so I had to play catch-up. The owner is also the dance instructor and she was really nice to us new peeps jumping in the class. The choreography felt different from the type of hip-hop I'm used to but it was a fun piece nonetheless and I'm looking forward to getting back into dancing! read more

This studio is new but the teachers are very experienced. My daughter had been in dance for several years at a studio in the east bay where great technic and teaching credentials were mixed with kindness and mentorship. When we moved to the south bay, we couldn't find a single studio like that, until we Lauren and Montage. Lauren is skilled as a dancer, teacher, and mentor. We are so happy to have found her! read more

Very fun and welcoming environment to dance in. I take the hip hop classes and am learning a variety of styles. Would recommend to others.

I had my daughter in a dance class at a different school, after one class my daughter only wanted to go to the "nice dance class" I believe Lauren, the teacher and her class is unparalleled. We are currently in ballet and creative movement (obsessed with this class. Not a lot of structure but the kids dance around, dress-up and learn different types of movement). Charlee has become more confident, expressive and her fine motor skills have greatly improved. Looking forward to watching her first recital and all of them to follow. read more
