I was thrilled to attend the very first Nutcracker production and have watched in amazement at the annual SCBA ballet productions, as students were given the opportunity to dance with professional artists. Those experiences fueled their dreams and aspirations. My daughter trained at SCBA and went on to perform professionally for 8 years. Now, I experience that wondrous joy again as I watch my grandchildren train and perform. Santa Clarita Ballet Academy's commitment to the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus and annual exams prepare the young dancer to progress in technique, musicality, and creativity through to the professional level. Thank you, Corinne Glover and Carol Guidry for all you have given to the city of Santa Clarita.

The teachers are incredibly sweet, patient, and welcoming, and they've made her feel so comfortable. The other parents have also been kind and friendly, creating a warm and supportive environment.

They have all genres of dance, but it always felt they prioritized the competition dance team, which isn't our thing. As a result, when we moved to the San Fernando Valley, we decided to stick with a more traditional Ballet school academy environment. No competition team type places. We ended up in downtown LA. But during covid, we really had some challenges and my son wasn't able to get back in a studio for many many months. I found California Dance Academy on social media and saw that they were doing Nutcracker outside. I emailed them and ask if my son could take class with them for a while until our school opens again. They were dancing outside and following all covid precautions until case numbers came down and county restrictions allowed indoor classes again. They followed everything to a T and kept dancers safe. No cases were spread within the studio. Everyone we met here was fantastic. No drama. And truly solid classical ballet instruction. I'd have previously written this place off because we were looking to get away from competition environment, but California Dance Academy treats both classical ballet and competition as equally valuable. They develop strong dancers and train kids up in the area the kid wants to go. Their focus is art and solid instruction. My son's school downtown reopened and he was genuinely sad to leave California Dance Academy. But I have to write this review and just say that whether it is classic ballet or more commercial style dance you are looking for, this is a great school with great people. They are helpful, transparent, kind, and honest people.

Unfortunately COVID came into our world just 6 months later. But the studio kept my daughter interested via Zoom classes. In or out of the studio, the loving staff kept her heart interested in dance a wanting more. Months later when she was finally back in the studio she wanted to learn more genres. By the summer of 2021 she wanted to try out for their Competition Team and made it. She has always been treated with love, support and grace by the staff and other dancers. It didn't matter if she was a recreation dancer or on team. They all support each other and cheer each other on. On another note, my daughter's dad is a quadriplegic and utilizes a wheelchair. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure everything is accessible in the studio and on location. My daughter has never been bullied or teased. Being the new girl with absolutely no experience when she started and a disabled parent, you might as well put a bullseye on her; but she's always experienced love and acceptance from everyone in the studio and has made the best friends over the past few years. If your child is interested in dance, this is a great place to grow.

So we decided to see if we liked the personnel and the atmosphere. We loved the personnel and the dance instructors. They were warm, friendly and fun. Because of their enthusiasm and friendliness we signed up for 15 lessons. They offer a variety of dances, they are patient, and enjoy teaching and they have lots of events and classes throughout the week. We highly recommend the Arthur Murray dance studio in Valencia on Newhall Road! Dancing at this studio with the instructors and owners feels like family!

My girls have been at this studio for 4 years, and have loved every minute of it. They have both grown as dancers, to the point of going beyond anything I had ever hopped for fir them when I first signed them up. But aside from all of that, my love for this studio goes above dance alone. Body positivity, empowering girls to grow to be strong women, and KINDNESS are all taught here. The owners (Gina and Madeline), as well as all of the teacher (especially Aliyah and Aubrey) are a huge forces in my girls lives, (as well as my own) and I can't imagine them studying dance (or loving it as much) anywhere else. They're part of our family now. We're keeping them.

Update on 04/26/21 -…read more I'm not a parent that would waste time on nonsense but if you read your response to me, you could notice the unprofessionalism in you. You are accusing me of being a "liar". First of all, I have never demanded anything, that's your approach for not knowing how to listen. I approached you after class to ask a question. Due to work, I am not able to take my daughter to every class, therefore, I make adjustments to have family members take her to class. My best friend took her on one of those days and mentioned to me that one of the instructors made a comment about my daughter possibly being ready to move up to the next class. I was only following up, I don't see how that was "demanding" but you took it out of context and answered me in a rude defensive way. You accused my friend of lying by saying "No!! Nobody said anything?! I have to look at the videos and see who said that!!!" Which was completely unnecessary. It was a simple question/follow-up as a parent by communicating with staff about my daughter. I'm professional and educated on the well-being of my daughter's physical and mental health. As you know, I am a health professional, so please don't insult my intelligence. In reference to your 24 hour surveillance videos, please use it so you can discover who is "lying". I am in no need to expose my daughter to someone who is not accountable for their own mistakes. I understand you are trying to salvage your business by accusing me of being a "liar" and "a bully" in public but I will leave that to your conscious. In reference to me "ranting" about one child not wearing a mask for a few seconds, is not true, I waited to speak with you in private in order to be considerate and respectful to you and your business. I asked you if you were still going to enforce masks in class because this was not the first time I saw children coming into class without masks for the entire class! To be specific, it was three children on 04/24/21 at the 11:15 am class, which were right in front of you, but yet you had the audacity to lie in my face my saying you didn't see it and accused me of not being "a fit" for your business. By responding that you "did not see it", truly shows how much attention you put in. Maybe you should put your videos to use and back track. After my review, you sent a conflicting text message in private completely contradicting your public message, therefore it is hard for me to trust you. I want to Thank Ms. Bella and Ms. Anne Marie for their dedication to their students. My daughter really enjoyed their classes. My intention by writing this isn't to sabotage this business, but rather to inform members what they are getting into based on my experience. ----------------------------------------------------- Unprofessional, disrespectful, and condescending. I've taken my daughter here for quite a while now. I referred my family as well. Everything is great except Ms. Anna. She doesn't allow you to ask questions or she'll be defensive and think your accusing her of things. My bestfriend took my daughter to one class and was told that my daughter needed to be in another class (or something to that effect). So I asked the instructor, she referred me to Ms. Anna. I then asked Ms. Anna, and she became upset, defensive and stated "Who told you that?! I have to look at the video and see who said that!" She questioned my parenting and asked me "why are you so unhappy? is this how you are at work?" As a nurse during this pandemic, this ballet academy does not follow covid protocols. She had 3 students without masks complete the 1 hour class, and when I simply asked her "are we still enforcing masks? (a simple question), she states "are you not happy here?" My daughter loved it there, but Ms. Anna just took it out of proportion and even threatened me that I do not need to give her a 30 day notice. Obviously she doesn't care about your child's wellbeing. If your not one to ask questions, this might be for you. Otherwise, do not take your kids here!
