We love Tutu School Elk Grove! It has been such a great way to introduce our little one to ballet…read more Each week they learn ballet moves in playful silly ways to keep it fun, read a part of the ballet story of the month and at the end they color. There are often toys or references to current holidays/seasons to keep the moves interesting and fun. If there is a Bravo Bash (performance) coming up they will add a small portion of the class practicing those moves. We participated in one Bravo Bash and it was so fun to see our girl on stage in a beautiful costume and then get a gorgeous photo and gift to commemorate it. It was very low pressure on the kids. I highly recommend Ms. Chaney's class. I believe she is there on Tues and Thursday mornings. She makes class so fun and goofy which is just what our 3 yr old needs. She is great with the kids and we love her. Not only is she so fun but very patient because anyone with a toddler knows that they can be on their own plan sometimes.

My daughter just started at Tutu School in Elk Grove and we've already had such a great experience…read more All of the ballet teachers are so sweet and patient with the kids. We wanted to get her into dance while she's little so she can grow up doing something she loves, and I can't wait to watch her learn and see where it takes her. The biggest thing for me was seeing how comfortable she was because my toddler usually doesn't go up to anyone, but she felt so comfortable with her teachers right away. Everyone has been so welcoming and professional, and I'm really happy we chose Tutu School.

Rize All: Where quiet kids dance!…read more We came in with our nervous, quiet kid who surprised us when he decided to join a hip hop class. Ms. Mona and Julia welcomed him with positivity and kindness, helping him feel comfortable in minutes. As soon as class started, he was grooving! As performance day arrived I feared he would lose confidence but he jumped on stage with a HUGE smile and pride! Rize All isn't just about dance--it's about confidence and pure joy. P.S. If you're on the fence--do it. What have you got to lose?

Our youngest daughter is four and absolutely loves to dance. She went with a friend to an…read moreintroductory class at another studio and loved it. Parking is typically pretty easy to find in the large shopping center they're in. We signed her up for their once a week introduction to dance class. She loved her classmates and instructor and wanted to do their recital in June. The class provided a lot of valuable life lessons. She learned and had several things reiterated: confidence, human kindness, paying attention, respect, responsibility, timeliness, and trying your hardest. Their waiting room is exceptionally small, and they prefer you drop off and pick up your child after class. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for her due to some separation anxiety issues, but we'll continue working on it. Starbucks and Walgreens are both within walking distance for those who are able to drop off their child or children. They sell a variety of ballet and dance apparel and shoes. The recital costumes were reasonably priced and absolutely gorgeous. Tickets were also reasonably priced, and the show was well planned and executed. Our daughter's dance partner bailed on her before the second show, and her instructor Mona helped instill the confidence in her to perform a solo rendition that she did a fantastic job with. She's excited to begin class again in August after soccer is over and to perform again in December's recital.

When I first moved to Sacramento, I didn't really know many people or anything to do really. Then I…read morefound Makamae and have had a great experience with them and learned more than I expected. Not even just about dance, but about polynesian culture in general. I've danced with other groups before and by far, Makamae has been the only halau I would really consider my second family. For the 3 years I danced there, I always looked forward to seeing my hula sisters every week. I especially like that even though there are different classes and class levels, we learn a lot of the same routines so that come performance time, we can dance together with no hesitation. I also appreciate that each teacher has their own style and are available for 1 on 1 sessions, which is really useful during competition season. They say that those who can't, teach. But I know first hand that Rhea is an amazingly talented dancer (YouTube it!) and we are lucky that she made a commitment to share that with the rest of us.

As we were wedding planning, one of the things on our to-do list was choosing our first dance song…read more To avoid looking like we were Napolean Dynamite and Deb at their high school dance on our wedding day, we contacted the studio and went in for a trial lesson. It was one of the best decisions we could have made. We got so much more than just a choreographed dance. They taught us a variety of basic dance styles; helped us choreograph a dance routine to two songs and even gave us the music to give to our DJ. On top of that, they helped us navigate the dance floor setup so that our wedding photographer would get the best photos of us. They are very thoughtful and detailed in their craft. All of the instructors and students are fun, patient and kind. They have a fun sense of community. We worked mostly with Devany and Tawni, and they really made our dance a successful one on our special day. We will definitely be returning for group classes.

We are so happy with everything that KAST Academy has to offer! My daughter started taking…read morerecreational classes here at 6 years old, and she fell in love with the teachers and students so much that she went on to complete her first competitive dance season. I'm so happy with our decision to choose KAST Academy as her home away from home. From day one, Ms. Summer and Mr. Keith Turk have been professional, responsive, and have shown us what it's like to be a part of a true community. The other parents were so welcoming, and my daughter went from being shy to feeling so confident in any room she steps into! They offer a great variety of dance styles like hip hop, tap, tech, and contemporary, plus awesome classes like acro, turns & tech, and LA hip hop. Ive even had the pleasure of attending their adult dance classes, and they are planned with different levels in mind. It is so fun, a great way to connect with others, and a perfect way to get your body moving! I can't wait for our future with KAST, and I couldn't recommend this place more!!

The Ohana Dance Group is great. We found them for our son (5 years old). One of the things we like…read moreabout the keiki (kids) class is that it's also educational. When class begins, they go through things in Hawaiian, like counting, colors, words, phrases. When they teach a new dance, they also explain the context, like Kilauea. The other big thing we like is how warm the teachers are; it's about calling them and treating them like "aunty" and "uncle." They are very engaged with the students, balancing group and individual instruction. We've been going for almost 2 months and we're discovering more about the Ohana Dance Group family and community. We're looking forward to the upcoming performances and activities (e.g. fundraisers, sewing classes).
