I'm a teacher myself and know a good one when I experience one. Mario put my wife and me at ease…read moreimmediately. He was able to discern our level of experience right away and gave us "deliverables" that we could enjoy and practice after our very first lesson. He then had us record our own tutorials so we could practice when we got home. As mentioned in most of his other reviews, his positive spirit and love of dance are contagious! When my wife and I started "floating" across the floor, Mario let out a "Whooo!!" that really made us feel good! We recommend him highly!

She also learned a lot of wonderful, diverse dance moves. The instructors (probably late teens/college students) and are very sweet and outgoing. The camp offered healthy snacks and crafts related to the theme/or era of the dance. My daughter now wants to take regular classes here, so we'll be signing up. We live in the mountains, so it's a bit of a drive, but it's worth it.

Our two daughters just took several dance classes at this small-but-bustling studio and were so…read morehappy there. The teachers are nurturing and supportive and the whole environment is really fun. This studio has been around forever....long enough to be considered a Santa Cruz County institution. They moved about a year ago from their longtime location on 41st Avenue and now are in (IMO) a MUCH easier and better location on Bay Ave across the street from Nob Hill. (They are in the same center with Dairy Queen.) My girls are preschool and elementary age but if you look at their website you'll see that this studio offers many classes for all ages including adults. We live out of town (were in town for summer classes) otherwise I would definitely take yoga and bellydance at Dancenter. I believe this studio offers the widest variety of bellydance classes in a single location in the county. I also really appreciate that the studio does a lot of community-involved work such as supporting National Dance Week, performing at local events like the Art & Wine Festival, and classes for kids & adults with special needs. Prices are comparable to other area studios.

I felt so welcome as a newbie even though I was nervous to come to class. Luckily, everyone wants to see each other succeed and that makes for a great community. Papiba returns often to his home in Brazil where Capoeira is from then teaches us what he's learned about the culture and history there. Root's of Brazil is such a great place to train. Every time I'm there I feel so lucky to have found this great community who trains hard and has a lot of heart. If you've ever thought about trying Capoeira, this is a great place to do it. Raizes do Brazil! Capoeira!

On the last day when I was in trouble they forced me to do manual labor and made me serve food to the rest of the campers including my cabinmates and it was humiliating. Luke a common staff member caused me and two other campers to hall heavy suitcases in the heat and dirt out of a truck and onto dirt, they even told me and my friend when we where holding hands crying after getting told we have to leave they told us to stop holding hands so disrescpectful and uncommpassionate. They were rude and didn't treat us like teenagers/campers after we got in trouble in fact they treated us like animals with no emotion. Me and my friend who both got in trouble together still consider this day the worse day of our lives, it was terrible and degrading to two teenagers who are kind and good people yet that day they treated us as if wed killed someone and that was not the case. Overall terrible experience dont send your kids here if you want them to have a good experience.
