The so called mandatory workbook is not instructive nor is it professional. I also expected it to be part of the lesson. Unable to pick it beforehand after numerous attempts it was finally given to us at the end of class! Not a satisfactory experience.

Very easy to get there from Vancouver by public transit, bright clean studio space, and warm welcoming smiles. I was impressed with the overall choreography and how the warm-ups and exercises connected to the routines. Jen's passion to her craft, enthusiasm and dedication to her students was inspiring. While I did have challenges learning the choreography by the end I felt confident, coordinated (haha) and proud of my accomplishments. Bring on some more!

I found a little blurb about the "singagrams" starting at a decent price so I called for more info. Cassandra picked up and was very happy and perky when she answered - my whole background is customer service and too many places don't get how important that is and what an impression that makes. I liked her right away. While the phone rang I was thinking I wanted a clown or gorilla, something funny and ridiculous and wasn't sure what I could use from these guys. Right when we started talking I realized a random Batman appearance would be hilarious - especially when she said he was a professional actor AND singer and would do the voice. OMG...THIS GUY. Let me tell you, he is a STAR and should be friggin' famous. He NAILED IT. You know someone has a natural talent when they put their all into what they do and has a natural charm. He did a phenomenal job mortifying her with his over-the-top entrance just as I'd hoped, gave her the balloon, card and rose, sang Happy Birthday and danced/sang to what I said was her "theme song" Milkshake . She almost couldn't breathe she was laughing so much. He took pictures and when they found out we both had kids, he did baby shark and a special video for our sons. They even did videos for us, including the Batman theme song LOL! I'm telling you, their singing telegram section should be more featured. This was shockingly way above and beyond what I expected, thoughtful, professional, friendly and fun and considering the manager called a meeting so everyone would be there to enjoy the spectacle, I HIGHLY recommend hiring Out of the Rain and embarrassing your family or friends at work (with company permission of course) giving them a great, special surprise they won't forget. I can't thank your company enough, our faces still hurt from smiling.

You can sign up for a 3 hour Lino printing workshop and I think it's a great solo or group event. Lino printing is an excellent craft experience and very beginner friendly. Bijal is a wonderful art teacher and I really enjoyed learning the basics of Lino printing from her. A cool place at Granville Island to explore your creativity and share a little craft time with friends. Do remember to scan and pay for parking - the days with free parking spots available on Granville Island after 6pm seems to be over.

The studio is bright and new with large viewing windows and quality sprung floors. The common area is welcoming, bright and often filled with dancers working on homework, sharing meals and non booked studio space is open for dancers to practice. We have had several new families join the studio recently, who have shared how unique our studio environment is and are so impressed by the community of dancers and families and often stay to socialize. I have no hesitation in recommending Boogaloo.

There's also hygiene issues as there's a dog that urinates throughout the studio although the admin was the worst part of it all - bad attitude, know-it-all.....worst customer service experience ever. There are certainly other quality dance companies within/near Van! They don't know how to run a business and need to learn from other companies that have mastered their customer service skills.
