This studio has been my happy place, my safe haven, and my sanctuary ever since purchasing my…read moreunlimited 1-year membership. I come from a 13+ year dance background and had tried pole dance classes a handful of times before deciding to purchase my membership. That said, you do not need to have an athletic/dance background or be any specific age to try pole dance or aerial arts, since pole is for EVERY body and every level of athletic ability. After going through a rough end to 2019, I was looking for a new hobby to occupy my time. I wanted something that would challenge me both physically and mentally. While pole dance is difficult can be painful at first, through excellent coaching and mental perseverance, I have transformed my body, gained strength, self-love, and have met incredible humans from all walks of life. I came for the workout and stayed for the vibes. This studio offers all kinds of unique classes with new classes constantly being added to the schedule. Pole choreography, tricks, spins, conditioning/fitness, technique, burlesque, belly dance, aerial silks, lyra hoop, flexibility, flow props, and so much more. There are classes offered at all times of the day to accommodate any schedule (including evenings and weekends for my fellow m-f 9-5 working folks). There are also so many options for purchasing classes. Just go to the website and you'll see that you can pay for an individual class, package of classes, or monthly, 6-month, or 1-year unlimited membership. Registration is through the MINDBODY app/website which is super easy to use. First timers, get there early so you have time to street park. There are specific shoes made just for pole dancing so don't bring any street heels. If you want to try dancing in pole heels (which you totally should even if it seems intimidating), there are plenty of all sizes and styles to try! I recommend boots over sandals for extra ankle support and stability. The instructors here are so kind and encouraging. I've tried to take classes with almost every instructor and have found that I've learned something new and different from everyone. Try taking classes with different instructors and you will surely find ones that you connect with! The studio hosts showcase performances a few times a year where students and instructors can invite family and friends to see their art. This is a really fun time to bond with other folks at the studio and perform! The environment is so welcoming, you feel like you're part of the seventh dimension family the second you walk in the door. The studio owners Harmony and Jezaira have done everything to make this space feel like home. If you're thinking about trying pole dance, this is your sign! You have no idea what you're capable of until you try.

Our youngest daughter has danced at this studio for years. Recently, I witnessed her father…read morebringing recording equipment to rehearsals and filming full performances of other dancers from behind. I documented this and reported it to the studio. Their response? It was "just a parent" filming, and they saw no need to take further action--even refusing to ask parents to only record their own children. In today's world, where recordings of young girls can end up misused online, I expected more awareness and safeguards from the management. A simple policy or announcement would go a long way, but instead, they offered a vague, dismissive response. I find this lack of action concerning and irresponsible. If your priority is your child's safety, I recommend finding a studio that takes it seriously and sets clear boundaries around filming.

I love that when I call the studio there is always a staff person I can talk to and they are so helpful.

My daughter dances here 5 days a week and is in company and she's loves it so much!

So when I was looking for a dance studio for my daughter, I wanted the same quality instruction, small classes and creative dance recitals with lots of fun and support. Dance Unlimited fits my requirements perfectly! Lisa, and the other instructors my daughter has taken lessons from, have been just wonderful. I think it especially hard to find someone who really understands tap -- and tap is Lisa's special background. The girls in my daughter's combo ballet/tap class were able to vote if they wanted to do a ballet or tap routine in the holiday recital and they all chose tap! Please come and watch this creative show and support Dance Unlimited! Dos Pueblos High School, Saturday, December 16, 2017 at 6pm-8pm Lisa also does a lot of community outreach and has performed at the farmer's market, Lemon Festival and other events. The prices for classes are very reasonable. This is a great local studio with high quality instruction and lots of heart!

During the trial class, my daughter (2.5 years) was participating and connecting with the teacher within the first few minutes. By contrast, she didn't participate much at the other studio even after multiple classes. And it's because the teachers at the dance network are so compassionate and engaging. We have since told friends and family to join us at the dance network! When you walk into the studio it has such a calm, home-like vibe and it's just completely unpretentious, which is hard to find around here. So glad we found this place!
