My daughter was only 2 years old and still wearing diapers. I was afraid my daughter would cling to my leg and cry. Just the opposite Ms Heather took my daughters hand and showed her the dance room where they would practice and my daughter did not look back. My daughter has made some wonderful friends and I have also! I can call Ms Heathers dance studio our second home and family. All the Dance instructors are absolutely wonderful! Ms Olivia and I have something in common and it is such a small world! I can't express how much my daughter and I love this dance studio. We are proud to say we dance at Ms Heathers Dance Life!

I regret waiting so long because I am having so much fun. The beginner classes are for anyone who wants to learn. Zero experience required. Rodrigo breaks down the moves so it's not intimidating and it's actually really easy to learn. Classes are affordable and I have made some good friends since being there. Private classes are great excelling quickly and correcting bad habits. They always have fun parties and are very warm and welcoming. Parking has never been an issue. I come from Echo Park every Monday and Wednesday to Santa Monica and the commute is not bad at all 35-40 minutes max. I have been recommending it to everyone!

I'm so glad I found this website, because this business needs an honest review:…read more First the good -- it is family owned and their kids are part of the dance classes, so there is a certain safety and quaintness about it. You won't get lost like in some of the bigger studios. The wife is also a beyond amazing choreographer so their recitals are so beautiful to watch and super organized. I absolutely love how the show turns out. Unfortunately it's not all about the end result with business that deal with kids, the "how" is just as important as the final product. Now the room for improvement -- 1) CLEAN UP YOUR BATHROOMS. This is a cheap service. I hire someone at my offices to come twice a week just for bathrooms. You can afford it, and it needs it. It's no wonder everyone here gets sick at the same time; kids are using the bathroom barefoot, and then walking back in to the studios and touching the floors with their hands and bodies dragging up whatever is in those nasty bathrooms. I have forbidden my kid from using them, it is so gross (picture of a corner in their bathrooms; if they told me it never has been deep cleaned since they opened I would believe it. Yuck!) 2). Part of the job of the reception is customer service. I understand she is family, but being good at answering emails or tracking payments is not enough. If you are the face of the business for parents you have to be nice too. I was so embarrassed when I told one of the other parents at my kid's school where they took dance, and right away they told me they pulled their kid out after less than a month for how rude the front desk lady was and she yelled over at their mother in law to tell her where we went, and she right away went on and on about the front desk (the entire family was horrified by the treatment), and I thought yea we all know that, but why do we put up with it?? Fear of retaliation for our kid I guess? because every parent knows and talks about it, but no one will speak up about how absolutely horrible this woman treats everyone (including the kids!). At first I gave her grace, thinking it's probably just cultural -- American's are notoriously over-friendly; but after hearing from everyone, including people who didn't go back after their first year (or one who didn't return after the trial) just because of the front desk attitude. There needs to be a heart to heart in that family. Let her do what she's great at, but your business will never truly thrive without some positivity out front. Parents are nice to her out of politeness or fear but trust me, fear is no way to build loyalty. If it's a cultural thing, remember your business is in the U.S., so adapting is necessary. It's not ok to treat people and kids that way, whether it's email responses or in person responses: be nice. I recognize the parents of a few 5 star reviews, and I can tell you they are bull and only written to suck up because the front desk is horrible, and they know it. You would be better off with a sign that says "just email since we're in class!" and not have anyone there at all. 3) They treat parents like poop. I get they would rather not deal with parents and only work with the kids, but we're a package. As much as you hate the parent side of the business (it's obvious), at the end we are part of it, and we pay for it... have some respect. This past year they pulled the seats out from the parent area where the baby classes were held. I felt so bad for those parents having to stand, because you can't just leave the babies there. Then they closed the curtains during recital season so you can't watch. I get you want it to be a surprise, but anyway we recorded the hip hop dance so they could practice so it's not truly the "surprise" bit - you all want us out. It would be your dream to have all kids dropped off for class and not to deal with any parents (I know for sure it would be the front desk lady's dream), but too bad we're part of the deal and we like to watch our kids -- don't be so cruel about it. Also, remember they are kids and don't remember half of what you tell them, so normalize emailing parents with important info. Don't be so harsh to the parents, that's another sure fire way to limit growth. No one wants to refer their friends if they are going to be treated that way. It might be too late for us because our kids like it, but we don't have to tell others. 4) Be a role model for these kids! My kid came home saying that Mr. Travis said cheerleaders were dum-dums and my mother in law almost had a heart attack. She wanted me to cancel right away. In our house we don't put other sports/people down. Thank goodness I didn't mention what my kid had previously said Ms. Kelly told them about gymnasts. There is no reason to put other disciplines down. You can think dance is the best without knocking down others. The kids learn to be mean this way. This place has soo much potential! Please take the feedback seriously. I would like you to succeed.

We are now heading…read moreinto our 4th season in a few more month and 3 recitals later we couldn't be more happy with this studio. The atmosphere is so positive and inclusive. This studio takes pride in their students' dance education and well being. Recently we had a mom who would come into the studio throw shoes at her child insult her, use profanity and behaved absolutely DISGUSTING towards her child. It got to the point where my child and others were SCARED of this other mom. The studio was BEYOND accommodating to the point I got irritated, but they wanted to help her daughter grow and develop with her love for dance. After many chances and adjusted protocols for this mom, in efforts to keep her daughter at the studio, because her daughter was a sweet little girl. The mom was RELENTLESS and her ABUSE continued!!!!! Everything came to a blow on March 23rd when a group of moms including myself witnessed this mom smacking her kid around in her car of the studio parking lot. After a year of this mom's psychosis she was FINALLY DISMISSED from the studio a few days before our annual recital, because some moms reported her behavior to the police, we were THAT concerned and STILL IS for her child! She has called multiple teachers and made numerous threats and is on a rampage because she was dismissed. She even showed up for classes after making threats. Does that sound like someone sane? This is AN amazing studio with AMAZING teacher with the best atmosphere. We are seriously a little dance family and we love it here.
