My little girl started with Signature Dance Academy at three years old! She is five now and dancing on the competition team! I cant imagine our life with out Mrs. Jenny!!! She is amazing with kids and a great role model for ours. We love the families there, everyone is super nice! I do feel like this dance studio is our home away from home! Thank You Mrs Jenny for being so amazing with our kids!!!!! read more

We love Signature Dance Academy! My daughter has been dancing here for the past 8 years. It's become her second home. Ms. Jenny and the amazing group of dance teachers here are wonderful! Very supportive and passionate about teaching! My daughter has learned so much from them, the growth in her dancing has been amazing to see! read more

This is a really great dance studio! The classes here are top quality with really great instructors. My daughter loves the contemporary classes, the technique classes, and the turns class to name a few. The kids are welcoming and the owner is super sweet. If you haven't checked it out, you must! read more

It's been how many years since my daughter started dancing at SDA? She was 2 when starting out. She's 10 now and has been treating SDA as her second home. She feels loved, protected, and definitely growing there as a dancer and, which is more important to me, a person. I expect a lot from the studio my child attends and I have not been disappointed in professionalism, commitment from the teachers, and open door policy. read more

Highly recommended! The owner and staff are top notch!! I've seen tremendous growth in my dancers! Best part...the family feel at the studio! My kids have made forever friends and found great mentors! read more

We just attended their Princess Dance Academy. It was absolutely adorable and fun! We are excited to have them come to my daughter birthday party read more

Signature Dance Academy - Princess Dance Academy - Dance Studios Near Me - Poway, California

SDA has been a second home for both of my Daughter's. As a protective parent, I choose environments for my kids where they can respectfully be themselves without judgment. With that said, I have been an SDA dance mom for 5 years and counting... At SDA, my girl's (15 y/o & 11 y/o) have had and continue to have the opportunity to learn many style's of dance, technique, tricks, as well as conditioning. SDA also teaches the students the importance of consistency, commitment, independence, team bonding, respect and how to advocate for themselves when necessary. That's a plus ! As of today, I have not had any of my questions unanswered! There's no hidden fee's and any important new information is communicated immediately. I recommend Signature Dance Academy to anyone who's child loves to explore in the art's as well as to kids who are thinking of persuading an artistic related career in the future. The support, guidance, love and mentoring both my daughters have obtained from their instructors at SDA is priceless. read more

Signature Dance Academy - Dancers/Sisters Anny and Eneri - Dance Studios Near Me - Poway, California

My daughter has been taking classes and has been on the competition team at SDA for 4 years now. Her growth as a dancer has been truly remarkable. When she came to SDA at the age of 11, she was dancing in the secondary level, and now she is dancing in the advanced level. The teachers at the studio truly care about the students. They are great at teaching technique, movement, and performance for all age levels and for all different dance styles. My daughter takes Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Acro, and Tap, along with technique, stretch, and conditioning classes. We chose SDA because when we went to competitions, I was so impressed with the dancers technique and their camaraderie. The dancers at the studio are not competitive towards each other like you see at other studios. They are each others biggest fans and are always cheering for each other and want the best for each other. It is so refreshing to have a dance environment like this. My daughter danced at 2 other studios in the San Diego area before SDA, and this studio is by far our favorite. She has found a second home at SDA and plans to stay until she graduates from high school (3 more years!). read more

We love our experience at SDA. We started as rec dancers before joining the competition team with just one ballet/tap combo class. The teachers foster the growth of their students while growing their love for dance. Jenny and her staff are awesome with the dancers, especially the little ones! read more

When our daughter was three... We signed her up for the ballet and tap combo class. It has been so fun. She loves to run around and dance with Miss Jen and the other dancers. She really really loved the recital and has asked to always perform on stage lol. She is now 4 and still enjoys it. She has times of feeling a bit self conscious or shy - but once she is there in class she is all smiles. Miss Jen keeps it fun and interesting... With ribbons, parachutes, and stamps. Can't wait for the next recital. Just hope my nugget will wear the costume if it isn't pink or blue... She is in a mega princess phase - which has affected her leotard choices and thankfully Miss Jen has been very cool with us showing up in all sorts of get-ups. Signature Dance Academy has been so great - I look forward to my daughter continuing on with it if she wants and gaining a bit more confidence. So glad we followed the reviews and signed up here. This place has a really nice vibe and the teacher/owner is great with her students. read more

Signature Dance Academy - Combo Class Fun - Dance Studios Near Me - Poway, California

An amazing dance studio. Ms. Jenny is a wonderful teacher and my (sometimes shy) 4-year old daughter really loves and looks forward to her dance classes. She is taking a Ballet-Tap Combo and a Hip Hop class. I grew up in dance studios and have seen the best and worst of them out there. I can assure you that this place is a phenomenal place that foster and encourages positivity, growth and a love for movement. Highly recommend! read more

only good for tiny kids and their own competition team, if you are neither one of them will likely be mistreated, better look elsewhere. Unfortunately, my daughter got very upset at the end. read more

I brought my daughter for ballet classes. We met Kristie, ballet teacher. We never met owner. No one introduced us to the studio or teacher. No one showed us around. Teacher did not introduced herself. Teacher was very unprofessional, I can say angry and argumentative. She had argument with me in regards of child level placement and later displaced her anger on my daughter during the class. My daughter, 12 years old, was so unhappy that refused to come back to this studio. This teacher cares only about her ego and that is all. She does not care about child or what parent think ( her own words-"she doesnot care").She speaks about her health and fears during the class as well as her teeth braces while parents pay for classes. I was denied in refund of the remaining classes. My daughter and I competitive ballroom dancers as well my daughter is competitive rhythmic gymnast since very young age. I am Russian with Russian teaching experience in baller and I never ever met such unprofessional teacher and such unfriendly studio. read more

We did our homework when choosing a dance school for our 4 year old daughter and heard nothing but rave reviews about Signature Dance and Ms. Jenny. Our sources were right on as we have been extremely pleased. Nearly a year in, our daughter is still very excited when Saturday rolls around and she gets to see Ms. Jenny and her friends. Classes are structured so the kids have fun while learning good technique. Friends of ours have attended adult tap and yoga classes at Signature as well and really enjoyed them. read more

SDA is awesome. I have two girls, ages 3 and 5 who dance here. They've only ever had Jenny (the owner) as their teacher and they ADORE her. Jenny is a natural with kids, she is patient and nurturing and you can see that she truely cares about the welfare of her dancers. The studio has expanded and there are class options for all ages at varying times. I need classes that offer flexibilty; SDA offers this! Come check it out, the first class is free! read more

Signature dance Academy is amazing! Not only are the teachers fantastic, but the environment is so welcoming! Ms. Jenny (owner/teacher) is so amazing with every kid, and they all love her! The communication is outstanding, and the classes are perfect for whichever level the kids are in! My daughter has been there a year and a half, and is about to do her 3rd recital! She especially lives hip hop with Ms. keikei! Highly recommend! read more

My daughter is in her 4th season at SDA, 2nd season as a competitive dancer. She started "late" at 10 years old and was immediately engaged as all of her instructors took the time to teach and foster her interest. These years later SDA is her second home and one we are truly grateful for. The staff truly loves and respects the art of dance and it shows in the students, both competitive and recreational. The studio director, Jenny, knows all of the students and her commitment to them is incredible. read more

My 4 year old daughter just completed her tap recital through SDA and WOW!!! What a fun experience!! This is a legit dance studio! Ms Jenny (the owner) is such an awesome and patient teacher! My daughter has really enjoyed this experience! read more

It's been a year since both my daughters joined this amazing studio. I cannot be more happy with the quality of dance knowledge and experience all the instructors have. From the way they explain, the guidance, and their friendly professionalism, to the way they communicate with every single dancer individually to feed them confidence. I highly recommend this studio if you're looking into a serious dance home for your kid. My daughters do competitive dancing and one of the things I admire management for, is that I get competition planner with specific dates ahead of time. It helps me plan without compromising work, school & or family events. They also have none competitive classes for kids to learn different styles of techniques. Check it out for yourself!!! read more

My daughter have been dancing at Signature for two years now, since shortly before turning 5. She absolutely loves it and looks forward to dance more than anything. Ever teacher there is wonderful and they all take the time to get to know their students. So glad we walked into this studio when we were looking for a place for my daughter to dance. read more

My child started dancing here about 2 months ago and has pretty much hated it since day one. From the start the staff was not very welcoming, my child is a beginning dancer and is not familiar with any technique. When my child asked about certain technique in class to clarify proper instruction, the teacher was short with her responses and not very helpful. We came to find out that the teacher is actually the owner of the studio!! In general the teacher did not seem to happy to be working with kids, which I find odd and unprofessional for a Dance teacher. We are no longer attending this studio. read more

I have 2 daughters, a 4 year old and a 6 year old, and we have be dancing at SDA with Miss Jenny since my eldest daughter turned 3. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this dance studio and the instructors! SDA has become kind of a home away from home, as my 6 year old has started the competition team. She is truly blossoming into such a beautiful dancer, all thanks to the excellent instruction and patience of Miss Jenny and the teaching staff at the studio. The self confidence, team work, and grace I see developing in both my girls is amazing, and I credit a lot of this to Miss Jenny. My girls absolutely adore her! She is such a fantastic role model, and I am so happy that they have her in their lives to help them grow into beautiful young ladies, and dancers!!! Thanks SDA, and Miss Jenny! read more

My two granddaughters, ages 3 and 4 at the time, started with Miss Jenny and SDA in January of 2013. They have LOVED ballet, and their teacher, from the very first day! They participated in the spring recital, which was the highlight of their year! The following year they participated in the 2014 winter production of The Nutcracker! What a thrill for the whole family to watch them in this delightful performance! Now, at ages 5 and 6, they are still loving ballet, and are anxiously awaiting this winter's Nutcracker. We think Miss Jenny is amazing. She loves our kids, and it shows! read more

The teachers are so sweet and have taught me so much over the years. I have danced here so long but I've never gotten tired of going to dance here. Because they make it so fun and I go there over 20 hrs a week. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Jenny and the SDA staff. I was in dance and show choir throughout my childhood an I knew I wanted my kids to be involved in dance too. It just so happend that my daughter was going to the preschool across the shopping center so I called one day and Jenny answered the phone. I knew right away by talking to her, that I had found the right place for my little dancer. My daughter started July 2010 at 2 1/2 years old. My daughter has always been spunky and a strong willed child. Ms. Jenny took time out of her day once a week to work with my daughter and after a few months, my daughter was more focused and a special bond was formed between my daughter and Jenny. I could not be more proud of Jenny. I was so blessed to have been apart of the beginning of SDA and my daughter is growing up in the SDA family. 2 Recitals and 3 Nutcrackers later, SDA is nothing but top notch!! I would never go anywhere else. My husband has participated in the Father/Daughter dances too and he has nothing but respect for Jenny and the staff. We are huge SDA promoters. I look forward to my daughter's dance future there. I am expecting another girl in May and she will be a future SDA dancer too!!! I think of Jenny as family and trust her whole heartedly with my daughter. read more

This dance studio is seriously as good as it get's! I have a 13 year old and a 7 year old that have been dancing at Signature Dance Academy for two years and absolutely love it!! My family has been truly blessed to be a part of Signature. All of the teachers are very professional and encouraging. Mrs. Jenny the owner of Signature is patient, loving, humble, professional, and fun!!! The family atmosphere, diversity and the knowledgable staff who are able to cater to all students at different levels and learning styles were all very important aspects for me as a parent in picking a studio for my girls to attend. If your looking for a fun, loving, family oriented dance studio, Signature Dance Academy should be top on your list of studios to try out! I am sure that you won't want to go anywhere else after your experience at SDA!!!! read more

Miss Jenny is so kind and patient and she is a great teacher. My daughter is 2 and she listens so well in miss Jenny's class.the kids are so adorable to watch. I'm so happy I found this place. read more

SDA is great. My oldest daughter has been dancing there for almost 2 years and she loves it. She has really grown with the studio, and is encouraged by the teachers to grow her love of dancing. Being part of the studio is like having another family. We have made so many friends and enjoy the other dancers and their families. I would definately recommend SDA to anyone who is interested in dancing. They have so many different class options and times that it makes it easy to find something. The business continues to grow which is great to watch. The owner, Jenny, is always friendly and really cares about her students. I think she thinks of us as her family too! Jenny and all the teachers at SDA really make every child feel welcome, and go above and beyond when they need to. I look forward to the 4 days a week we get to spend there. :) read more

Poor customer service. I enrolled my daughter last year in Signature Dance Academy. My first impression of Jenny, the owner, was not great. I left her two messages asking if there was room for my daughter in one of her classes. She did not return either of my calls. After two weeks, I walked into her studio to speak to her in person. She was friendly, but short. Not welcoming like you might expect an instructor of small children to be. I went ahead and enrolled my daughter and she really enjoyed her classes. After a few months, my daughter decided she did not want to come anymore. I then called Jenny to ask about canceling the automatic payments that were deducted from my checking account. Again, no return phone call. So, I called again, everyday, until she answered the phone. When I asked her if she received my messages, she said yes she had and she would stop deducting the tuition the following month. So, we had paid for three more classes that my daughter did not attend. Just recently, my daughter has asked to return to ballet class with Miss Jenny. With a little reluctance, I again phoned Jenny and left a message, explaining that I would like to enroll my daughter in her school. Guess what? One week later and still no return phone call! Basic customer service is the foundation of any business. I am sorry to say that Jenny at Signature Dance lacks this very simple skill. We will not be returning and are seeking out another class for my daughter. read more

SDA is FABULOUS!!!! The owner, Jennifer Glenn, runs a business is a homey, comfortable setting and genuinely takes an interest in the welfare of EVERY student at the studio. The dancers are treated with the utmost respect as are the paying parents, and there is always a positive, feel-good vibe permeating through the studio. Jenny is extremely talented, creative, organized, communicative, kind, and gregarious--she epitomizes customer service and only hires instructors who do the same! I feel fortunate that Jenny and her staff at SDA are strong role models for my young dancer. read more

Not really happy with the experience there. It was ok till June. In June I got charged regular tuition, but I didn't sign my daughter up for the recital.On top of the regular charge there was 125$ fee for the recital. 195$ a month for 45min once a week is seemed too much. Since she was only taking one class on Saturday she wasn't ready to perform on stage. So she got a "special" treatment. They put her aside and let watch other kids practicing. And I still did pay 70$ for 1 class a week. And in June she got 2 sloppy classes when she was just watching and then they had recital on Saturday so no class again. Then a summer break. When I came to ask if she could take a make up class the receptionist was quite rude to me. She said that I pay for whole month and not for each class. They were open, so it's not their fault that I choose not to participate in recital. I'm not a big value for them since my daughter only taking one class. read more

This review is long over due....My daughter joined Signature Dance Academy when it first opened. She gained her foundation and found herself as a dancer through Jenny and her staffs nurturing culture. When I went back to school I desperately needed a carpool, so we had no choice but to attend another studio where all of her schoolmates attended. While my carpool & logistical needs were met, my daughter continued to attend signature dance academy's master classes and workshops. While competing under another studio, Jenny and her staff still acknowledged my daughter, hugged and congratulated her after her performances. (In case you were wondering, that is not very common in the dance industry). Now that my daughter is a high school dancer and she drives, she has the freedom to choose between several studios for technique classes. My daughter chooses to attend Signature because their technique classes are fun but challenging. The culture is diverse with girls from different competing high schools and yet it's still very welcoming. Jenny has always kept her door open to us as our family's needs has changed and I'm so grateful for that. She's a great dance teacher, she makes dance as affordable as possible, she's adored by her students and as a mom I've always been able to talk to her. read more

Signature Dance is a studio I was beyond proud and happy to claim as my second home for the past three years. The owner,Jenny Glenn, is phenomenal instructor who takes each dancer's desire and need to heart. She takes the time to know all of her students on a individual level and see how they learn best. I've never experienced a teacher who is more encouraging, genuine and supportive of her dancers. Students are encouraged to support one another, learn from each other and work together as a team. Every little improvement is recognized and all growth is celebrated. The entire staff demonstrates admirable values, and are such positive role models. These teachers have helped build my morals, values and beliefs and I have a great deal of respect for each one of them and I know the other dancers do as well. I looked forward to seeing them every day I was there and my appetite to improve grew stronger from every class I took. I have up and gone away to college and still remember life advice and lessons I gained from all of my teachers. Ms. Jenny has created the studio to be nothing short of a safe,healthy and a positive environment for every student that walks through the door. I always referred to the studio as my safe haven where I was always welcomed with open arms, love, and encouragement. I not only grew as a dancer but as a person from dancing at this amazing studio and would recommend it to anyone and everyone. read more

my old studio recently closed and i was there since i was 3. signature was ultimately my first choice. when i came on the first day i was very nervous because i only knew the few people that came with me from the old studio. the dancers and teachers welcomed me with open arms and i felt very welcomed. i came late in the year which means i had to learn the dances that most of them have already learned. the teachers were very sweet and considerate to help me learn what i hadn't. i am now in 4 group dances and i have a solo with the owner. i love it here! read more

Ms Jenny is the owner of the studio and one of the kindest,sweetest people I have met. She especially loves the little ones and works with them so well. She has brought in some very high level instructors and for anyone serious about dancing they have the skill set here to take your dancer to the highest level. They have a great competitive team but she also creates a safe environment, provides a quiet area for homework if needed, a beautiful studio and great environment for kids. My child has attended here for 2 years. I saw a negative comment below and was shocked. If Jenny wasn't responsive quickly enough it is because she was working with the kids. She is very kind and patient. If you have an issue just go talk to her in person. She is there all the time and very approachable. We have never had an issue. She also volunteers her time and for two years has helped with the Garden Road Variety show choreographing the final dance routine free of charge. Awesome acrobatic, hip hop,ballet,jazz,lyrical,contemporary,cheer and dance theatre. Many of her instructors still tour. You should read their resumes...amazing. That is my take on it. Quite a find!!! Kim N read more
