Love this place. We're in tap dancing, tumbling, and ballet. Super friendly and supportive…read moreteachers. Very caring, patient, kind, but yet expecting discipline from the students. They work with kids as young as 3, I think and all with the patience of a saint - they can put up with crying, stubborn behavior, fear, hesitation, with a smile on their face and a heart of gold! And Ms Shinogu brings great discipline into the class and doesn't put up with nonsense but she does it in a way that is extremely nurturing and caring. She really wants to support all of the students to be the best of themselves. The Tumbling classes can be hard to get into so if you're interested in tumbling, sign up as soon as class registration opens. Ms Gina was very understanding when we were first starting and helped us navigate our way through the classes and now we're there 3 times a week. One tough thing is that participating in the summer performance is very expensive and somewhat cost prohibitive between the participation fee, costume fees, volunteer requirement, and ticket prices. However, dance students are not required to participate in the performance and can still completely participate in the regular classes! The one awful thing about this place is the parking. 1) there is a free lot (register for 1 hour free, after that it's paid) across the small street but it's so hard to find a stall because it's shared with a lot of other places, the stalls are small, and so many cars can't park within the lines, 2) they can ticket you, even if you have paid - they did rescind it but only after I took the time to figure out how to dispute it, 3) there are a few street parking spaces up the hill but hard to get, 4) you can park at the municipal lot but have to allocate enough time to walk across the street, and sometimes that lot is full.

Easy parking, clean rest rooms, no frills concession, and cute merch. I got the reusable cup too. People were so nice and friendly. We sat at the very back of the theater and enjoyed it. The actors were so talented and so glad we were able to see it. My teen also got autographs and the actors were so happy and willing to sign her playbill. A couple were surprised that they were being asked for an autograph. When in Hawaii, after enjoying the beach and watching the sunset, why not catch a musical produced well run by the local community and supported and loved by the community.

Recently, I've noticed that on my account activity, I've been attending a ballet class. I don't attend those classes, and I've been very careful of not entering a class that wasn't my respective class. I asked someone about this and they told me there was a girl in the ballet class that had the same name as me and they would fix it. Fine. Next day, I see it again, I'm being charged for a ballet class. I'm fuming at this point. I call, they say again, it'll be fixed. It doesn't. Nothing I do is getting this issue fixed and I'm sick of having to call everyday because they're not checking the email of who is checking in. I doubt she has the same email as me, and if I have to keep going through this then I don't think I'll be staying at the studio.

My favorite studio on island…read more - there's actual parking stalls. YES. Inner city studios are known for having zero parking, but there are actually a few stalls in their lot + street parking + parking @ a nearby shopping center (shh.) - so many different classes for the keiki AND adults. That's right. I know some of y'all secretly want to appear on world of dance and you can fulfill those dreams here. Classes change around every season for the adult classes, but hip hop 1 and street femme on Tuesday nights + hip hop 2 and intro to hip hop on Wednesday nights are here to stay! - all of the instructors are personable! New studios can be intimidating; here's how to navigate this one: 1. The building is a two-story blue building next to Still and Moving Center. Enter through the right door that has a small Honolulu Dance Studio sign on it. 2. You'll see a narrow stairwell on your left. Walk up the stairwell, put your outside shoes on the shoe rack on the top, and slip your dance shoes on (yes, you need indoor shoes specifically for dance, whether that's ballet slippers, jazz shoes, indoor hip hop shoes). 3. Walk over to the registration table on the left and fill out a clipboard to get yourself/your child registered + pay. 4. Wait until the dance instructor calls you in, put your water + belongings on the inner racks, and have FUN! Hope to see you in class!

Excellent classical ballet training, with emphasis on proper technique. Attended classes offered at…read morea handful of ballet schools on Oahu, and the instruction at HCB is by far the most sound and foundational. Other schools may be larger/fancier or offer more grand performance opportunities, but the personalized training at HCB is easily superior and their teachers unmatched. That's not to say that there aren't also amazing opportunities for HCB students to perform for the community, get exposure to guest instructors, or experience various dance styles. These things are definitely available under the umbrella of serious ballet training, personal growth, and a deep respect and appreciation for the artistry of ballet. The teachers at HCB are incredibly astute in what they're doing, while also being very nurturing, compassionate and caring. The intimate school environment is family friendly and highly supportive of each dancer. During the four years my daughter has been a student here, she has made wonderful friends and is much improved, in many ways, because of Honolulu Classical Ballet.

I brought my son here because he loves to dance. And they have a free trial class, so why not right?! He was a little shy his first time, but the environment was welcoming and relaxed, which really helped. The space has a fun, positive, and pleasant atmosphere. Miranda, the teacher, was especially wonderful--very kind, patient, and great with kids. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does and knows how to make children feel comfortable. Overall, this place seems great, and I really believe my son is going to love it here. Looking forward to many more classes!

AMBIANCE: Surroundings - It's not the most vibrant place, just a place by a lot of businesses and studios. You're not in the most lit up area of the town so be sure to be aware of your surroundings. The actual building is pretty neat as though it may be deceiving there are a lot of musicians practicing in their respective studios. It may be difficult to find but it's on the 2nd floor. Parking - If available you can park at the warehouse or if it's packed, check the 2nd floor. Customer Service - Lyanne is awesome! Creative, approachable, and patient. Great qualities of an instructor. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. Though it was brief, it was a really fun session - the music was on point, the classmates were engaged, and Lyanne had great energy. House can be difficult to learn but with personal commitment and a good learning environment, it's good fun. Advice: * Tuesday - Beginners, Thursday - Intermediate * $15 per class * Bring water

Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a fun, creative style of dance that isn't straight hip hop or jazz. House music=love.
