I honestly can't say enough good things about Kate. She is possibly one of the kindest, most loving…read morepeople I have ever met. She choreographed my husband and my first dance for our wedding, and it was awesome. She was so patient and calm, even when I wasn't. I was constantly reassured, and it made the experience so much fun. She taught us the steps, which was great, but even more importantly she gave us confidence in our abilities. On the day of our wedding, my bustle was having all sorts of problems, so we had to cut a big move out of our dance. I thought about what she would tell me to do, and it went off without a hitch! I'm so grateful to Kate not only for making our dance special, but also for allowing us to goof off and have a great time during rehearsals!

This review is looong over due. My husband and I were looking for a choreographer after we…read more"practiced" our first dance and realized the only moves we had were from middle school. I remembered a brochure given to me from a bridal show, and went digging for it. After contacting Kate, I somewhat nervous about our first lesson, but Kate made it so fun and easy to learn the steps, and I was very shocked that she choreographed our dance, both partners' steps, before each class and could remember and teach them back so effortlessly. She has a warm up before each lesson, then breaks down each and every step. Plus, she posts your dance lesson for you to watch again and practice on your own. The dance steps went with our music went perfectly, and I couldn't imagine not having had a choreographed dance for our first dance as husband and wife. To top it off, my father and I went to see Kate too, to practice a father-daughter dance since my dad had multiple knee surgeries and trouble moving quick-steps to music. Kate is the whole package- along with her brother, they slowed down Temptation's "My Girl", quite a bit, but you would NEVER notice. Oh, and did I mention Kate is like, the WHOLE package?? She worked with my wedding planner, DJ, and venue coordinator to practice in our venue before the wedding. She was there on our wedding day! She taped up the front of my dress so I wouldn't step on it, and ran through our dance before we took the floor. I did not expect all of Kate's services with her price. I can't thank you enough, Kate, you made our first dance absolutely PERFECT.

The day we went to pick up the Christmas dress, I was informed my daughter's dress was missing even though we were charged for it and were informed we have one day to exchange it. Finally the owner said she left it at her home and brought it after the class--apparently she babysits her own children, SMH! On that same day, I was informed all of the tickets were sold out for the show and they had only been on sale for 4 days. The owner did not set a limit on how many tickets each customer could purchase tickets. One person informed me they purchased 20 tickets--we only needed 4 tickets! We had attempted several times to purchase tickets online on my phone and laptop and the website was non functioning. I informed the owner of this and was not given any understanding about my situation and was informed I should have come in and purchased them in person--what is the point if you have a website!?! My father had passed away prior to this and was not given any sympathy for my loss and rather was informed, "If you didn't buy tickets in time, there is nothing I can do about it!" The tickets could have been added to the purchase of the dress or on our monthly bill which they charged us religiously, however they said they don't do business that way and all tickets are open to public! The lack of professionalism, respect for their customers, and chauvinist attitude is no good and we would never recommend this dance studio to anyone!

They closed the water area every 30 min to allow the next group of people in line in. But before they did that the lifeguards wiped down all areas of the play structures. It was a process but nonetheless the kiddos had a great time. Luckily, I had extra clothes for the grandkids to change out of, otherwise we would have to play in the dry playground while hearing and seeing the kids enjoy the Splash Pad. The playground has their rules and regulation posted on the gates. The restrooms are just outside of the play area, so very convenient. There is nice green grass in some areas and some picnic tables and stationary benches. I believe on of the rules is that you cannot set up canopy's, but I did see people set up a couple. I don't know if they have someone police the area if people are abiding by the rules. It wasn't a bother to anyone but I'm sure there is a reason for having that rule. The play area is nicely padded. The play equipment is nicely spread out where you could really view your littles as they run free with your close eye on them. There are different areas with equipment that is age appropriate. For sure I would return. Plenty of parking, it is clean and the grandkids and I love it here!

My son and daughter both attend Temecula Dance Company off of Temecula Parkway. We are currently taking hip hop and the tap, jazz, ballet combo. We drive all the way from Fallbrook because we love this dance company so much. I have taken dance growing up for 13 years and feel confident in my judgement of a great dance company when I see one. I like how they make the classes fun for the kids, while teaching them proper dance technique. I have been to other dance companies where freeze tag and freeze style where 1/2 of the program. This is not the case here at all! Both my children love attending each week and keep asking to go back. read more

Temecula dance company is an outstanding company. They take amazing care of all of their dancers and families. For an example we do fundraisers during Christmas for children in need and always make sure your children stay active and healthy, and they always make sure your children are safe. The front desk ladies are amazing! If you're having a bad day they will always be sure to cheer you up! If you're worried about your child not liking dance and you don't want to pay for shoes yet they have extra shoes behind the front desk for you to borrow. They're like a second family and always will put the families here first. read more

From the very first lesson, Paul created such a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere that my son felt comfortable right away. He's not just a talented drummer, but also a great teacher who knows how to break things down so kids can actually understand and enjoy learning. Paul mixes in songs that my son already likes along with the fundamentals, so practicing at home feels less like homework and more like something he actually wants to do. As a parent, it's been amazing to watch him sit down at the drum set with excitement instead of resistance. The progress we've seen has been incredible. His rhythm, timing, and coordination have improved so much, but what stands out to me the most is his confidence. My son used to hesitate when trying something new, but with Paul's encouragement, he's learned to just go for it and keep pushing himself. Paul has this great balance of being encouraging and patient while also holding his students accountable so they don't just mess around. It's exactly what kids need, someone who believes in them but also challenges them to do better each week. My son now practices on his own, shows off the new beats he learns, and even talks about wanting to play in a band someday, which is something he never would have imagined before starting lessons. The academy itself has been wonderful too. Everyone at the front desk is organized and helpful, scheduling is simple, and the whole place has a positive, family-friendly vibe. They also offer opportunities for students to perform, which I think is such a great way to give kids experience and confidence in front of an audience. Paul really prepares his students for these moments in a way that feels fun and not intimidating, so instead of being nervous, my son actually gets excited to play in front of people. Overall, I couldn't be happier with Mr. Paul and the experience we've had with the drum program. It's not just about learning music, it's about building confidence, discipline, and a genuine love for playing. My son is growing both as a musician and as a person because of these lessons. If you're considering drum lessons, I highly recommend Mr. Paul. He has made such a positive impact on my son, and we're so grateful to have found him through Murrieta Academy of Music.
