    I give Move Dance 5 stars because for 4 years they have given my daughter a safe, fun, and clean place to dance and grow. This studio provides a family environment while challenging children to progress at their own pace and ability. My daughter has become a confident, independent, hard working young lady due to the work ethics her dance instructors have instilled in her. I truly understand the term "Dance sister". The girls all become super close just like family! We love our MDA family! It's a great atmosphere and I highly recommend this dance studio!

    Move Dance Academy is a great studio filled with caring, knowledgeable and friendly instructors. My daughter is starting her 4th season with this studio and I can say she has both grown as a dancer and become more confident in herself. The smile on my daughters face is evidence enough of how much fun she has each week in dance class. The owner, Natalie, is fully invested in the well being of all her dancers! I truly feel my daughter is in great hands.

    My son has been going to Valverde for 2 years. He started taking musical theater 1. He decided he…read morewanted to take more classes and improve his skills. He's now taking 6 classes!! (Musical Theater 1, Musical Theater 2, tap 1, tap/ballet , jazz and HipHop)He went from a boy with anxiety to this confident performer. He was in his second musical Mary Poppins this past weekend. To see him perform with the biggest smile made me cry. He was confident and was so excited about the show. The show was AMAZING!!!!!!!!It's been great watching not just my son but many of the cast members just grow in theater. Thank You Mr.Frank and Mrs.Yesenia for bringing out the best in my son. He himself thanked them after the show for teaching him the songs and the choreography. All his teachers are all wonderful , Mrs.Megan , Miss. Larissa, Miss. Jenna, Miss. Jack , thank you ALL for not giving up on my son. A special shout out to Miss. Jack. Andrew wanted to try tap. Since the class has been practicing for a few months Andrew felt discouraged since they were already learning the song that they will be performing on the summer showcase. After trying the class he didn't want to continue since he was just starting and felt lost. Miss Jack told him she sees his talent and he can do it. She told him to come back the next week and try again. He tried again and he felt that he couldn't do it. Miss.Jack told him to think about it , she believes in him, if he still don't feel comfortable he can enroll after the summer showcase and start from the beginning. She was very sweet to him. On our way home he decided he wanted to continue!!! His words " mom , Miss.Jack believes in me. I want to take her class , I can do it " He's doing amazing. She knew how much he did want to take her class and encouraged him. I can't wait to see him on stage in June for the summer showcase. I also want to give a shout out to the parent volunteers.They're very helpful, it was so nice to hear from them how Andrew has grown so much in theater. Another shout out to Kyle , the front receptionist for being helpful and answering my million questions haha. Us parents don't just cheer for our kids we cheer for all the kids. I am thankful I found Valverde. They have help mold my son in this confident , happy , positive young performer. Can't wait to see him continue growing in theater !! If you are considering this studio , give them a call. Your child can try a class for free. Everyone there is wonderful!

    Instructor very inconsiderate. I drove 50 minutes in traffic to arrive on time. i get a call 24…read moreminutes later that class was cancelled

    Such a beautiful establishment!!! Before we even brought our 2 & a half year old for a princess…read moreballet trial we called multiple times to verify that we would be able to make our non traditional schedule work ( due to an unfortunate incident with another dance studio we were worried about finding someone to accommodate us.) and Paul was more than happy to assist and answer all our questions. We can automatically tell the difference in passion and customer care he genuinely sounded caring and professional!! On the day of our trail our daughter was super excited and eager to dance just walking in we felt welcomed!! The receptionist on duty when we walked in ( I'm so sorry I forgot her name) was super sweet and informative she again helped with any concerns or questions we had. She also invited us in to see a class that was already in session to give us a preview of what we could expect. Our daughter's class that day consisted of only two other dancers which in all honesty was perfect for a trial, her instructor was able to really work with her and get to know her personally. She was so sweet and caring to our daughter. We could not be happier!!! After class we went in and introduced ourselves to her and asked her opinion on how the trial went she had all positive comments and invited us to trial her Saturday class because she felt it would be a better fit for our daughter. That to me was everything!!! She showed genuine interest in our daughter's success with the studio!!! We never felt pressured to sign a contract or pay to save a spot and that is what makes this place a true Gem!! They are very true to there advertised "family environment" all staff was beyond kind and sweet to my Mimi dancer and my little 7 month cheering on his sister. We are blessed to have found such an amazing studio and will definitely be joining this beautiful family!!!

    This studio is truly a hidden gem in Rancho Cucamonga. This was my daughter's first year at ZM on…read morethe competitive team and the amount of growth we have seen in just that time is incredible. She has not only grown as a dancer but as a confident young lady. The training the dancers receive is far above anywhere else we have been. The teachers have a passion for dance and really see every dancer for their strengths, always pushing them and encouraging them to be their best selves. I'm so glad we as a family found a place where our daughter feels welcomed, challenged and loved for who she is.

They even offer rental shoes if you forget. It's just nice to see my daughter having fun in a clean and safe environment. Only setback is their limited seating for parents so get their early if you want to sit down. Another setback is parents bring more kids (siblings) and they climb over you while you are waiting.

    I would not recommend this studio for children ages 2-5, especially for first-time dance parents…read more We registered through the city, and from the beginning, communication was lacking. We never received a welcome call or much guidance on what to expect. Thankfully, our daughter was assigned to Ms. Kaylynn, who was wonderful. She was attentive, patient, and clearly cared about her students. We were enrolled in tap and ballet, and the regular classes went smoothly. Unfortunately, once recital time approached, our experience changed. Communication dropped significantly, and there was no rehearsals for the entire showcase. As first-time dance parents, we would have appreciated an in-person or virtual parent meeting explaining what to expect. During the recital, our daughter's class froze on stage. We understand these are very young children and nerves happen, but we expected the teacher to step in, encourage them, and give them another opportunity to perform. Instead, the show simply moved on. It was heartbreaking to watch after seeing how hard the children worked. We also felt the communication became focused primarily on money. When registration renewal came around, we received calls just two days before the recital stating that our child could not participate if we didn't pay. Paying was never the issue--we had already paid for her costume, pictures, and recital tickets. It was the timing and approach that was disappointing. We rarely heard from the studio about anything else, but suddenly received multiple calls when payment was due. It left us feeling like our experience as toddler parents wasn't valued and that the focus was more on collecting money than supporting families. Picture day was also very hectic and rushed. The photographer seemed overwhelmed, and with such a tight space, I think separate picture days for younger and older dancers would have been much better. Overall, we truly enjoyed Ms. Kaylynn and the regular classes, but the recital experience, lack of communication, payment approach, and organization were disappointing. We hope the studio takes this feedback seriously and creates a more supportive experience for its youngest dancers and their families.
