My daughter started as a recreational student, and from day one, every teacher was so welcoming, supportive, and encouraging. After her first year, she decided to join the competition team -- and we never looked back! From Hip Hop to Jazz to Ballet, TruDance always stayed true to what dance is really about - strong technique, passion, creativity, community, and FUN. This studio helped my daughter learn the techniques to dance with all her feelings and heart, which became such an amazing outlet for her. It helped build her confidence, self-esteem, and allowed her to truly express herself through movement. Sarita and Alicia have created such a special environment where dancers are encouraged to grow as individuals and embrace their own unique style and flair. Every teacher brings incredible energy, passion, and their own unique groove to the studio. The master classes with guest instructors are top-notch and always have the students moving, growing, and inspired. And of course, you can't forget sweet Miss Barbara -- the first smiling face you see when you walk into the lobby! Beyond dance, my daughter and I have made everlasting friendships that truly feel like family. If you're looking for a studio that has technique, down-to-earth, is award winning, and like family, TruDance is absolutely the place to be. We are beyond grateful for everything TruDance has given our daughter and our family. TRU, what?!?!? TRUDANCE read more

We are proud, loyal fans of TruDance. Here, my daughter and son have grown and flourished into confident, talented, and truly impressive dancers. From our experience, TruDance has not only honed their skills and technique, but also nurtured their individuality, helping them develop their own unique dance style. TruDance is built on the powerful value of showing up for one another. Whether it's cheering on a soloist or a group performance, the entire studio stands behind every dancer with unwavering support. Students are taught to encourage, motivate, and inspire each other, creating a positive and uplifting environment. It is more than just a dance studio--it's a close-knit community, an extended family, that's there for you not only in moments of celebration, but also during life's tougher times. TruDance is a studio I wholeheartedly recommend--whether you are pursuing dance competitively or simply dancing for the love of it, TruDance is truly a solid, dependable place to grow. Thank you to the owners, instructors, families, and dancers--for everything, in every possible way. We are deeply grateful for the time we've spent here and will carry it with us always. I mos def recommend this establishment through and through. read more

A dream come true... My daughter has been dancing competitively since she was 4. We were at another local studio for about 6 1/2 years until Tru Dance opened it's doors. The atmosphere here is a dream. My daughter has excelled in her dance training and now has such a beautiful confidence on and off the dance floor. She is now becoming a well rounded dancer and has picked up a few new styles of dance she was never exposed to. Sarita and Alicia are the complete package. They are professional, compassionate, and knowledgable. As well as Barbara who is a welcoming smile at the door and always willing to help! This studio welcomes every dancer of all different abilities. We love this place!!! We LOVE the new location. Super nice and clean. The two rooms are HUGE and there is ample space in the waiting area. There is a kids play area, couches, and tables. I am so happy for Sarita and Alicia. It shows how amazing they are by how fast this studio has grown in the few years it's been open. read more

My daughter has been dancing at Trudance for 7 years. She has found tremendous support with her dance teachers and her dance team. This place is her happy place because she has met a lot of amazing people at this studio. She enjoys learning different styles of dance while being in a positive environment. Her teachers uplift and challenge her. Prior to Trudance, my daughter belonged to another dance studio that was too expensive and did not challenge their dancers. Here at Trudance, I pay less and she is getting amazing training. I am so grateful to have found this studio for my daughter. read more

My daughter is on her fifth year at trudance and I couldn't be happier. She's grown so much as a dancer. Teachers are amazing and so are the parents and families. Great studio for recreational or competitive dance. read more

We have been with TruDance since January 2012. In this time, my 3 daughters have grown by leaps and bounds as dancers. The eldest of my girls is now starting her second competition season with TruDance Company (TDC). She has always been incredibly shy... but put her on stage, and she shines! The inspiration, motivation, love and support that she receives from our dance family is something that we are truly thankful for. She spends 7 hours a week in dance classes and she loves every moment. Not only is she learning technique and doing physical conditioning (the Strength & Stretch class that the comp kids are in is intense!), she is receiving dance education in the process. We are so fortunate to have such well-rounded Studio to call our second home. The staff at TruDance has grown significantly since the studio opened! Every teacher is incredibly gifted, dedicated, and professional. Their love for dance, and for our kids, is evident. Alicia, Sarita, Allan, Heathyr, Michelle, Michael, Miranda, Norlyn, Anna & Love are absolutely amazing! My 3 daughters are at all different levels (my 5yo is a mini taking Combo & Mini-Hop, my 10yo is junior taking Tap, Jazz & Hip Hop Jr, and my 11.5yo is competitive taking 2 Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, Strength & Stretch, and Company) and take lessons from (or have taken lessons from) every single teacher on staff so I can attest to the quality of their dance education. The new studio is gorgeous! There are two large rooms now. The marley floors are awesome. The lobby area has two large CCTVs for parents to watch their children on. It also has plenty of seating, a terrific homework area for the dancers who are there for extended periods, and a play area for the little ones. Barbara is in the office to answer any questions you may have or to help you to get registered. The class sizes are perfect! (The Intro and Combo classes have a teacher and an aide to ensure the children are learning and getting the support they need while still having fun.) For the older kids, there are lots of levels of classes to ensure they are with the appropriate group and are comfortable in dancing with kids that are their peers. If you are looking for a Studio where your children will become well-rounded dancers in a loving, supportive, and incredibly fun atmosphere, definitely give TruDance a try! read more

Great dance studio. Often times parents are made to feel like they are intruding when watching their kids dance. Here, they have comfortable leather couches for parents and TV monitors so you can see what's going on in the room. Great quality teachers and the owner is really down to earth. read more

My daughter is been WITH TRUDANCE since August and I don't see any improvements. The teacher has their favorite ones and she only focus on them. I'm talking about her Ballet teacher her hip-hop is good. And plus she always put her favorite ones in front line of guess to keep a close eye on them and the rest of the girls on the back. read more

I have taken my daughter to multiple places to dance. She loves interacting with other children and she loves to dance. It took us a while to find the right home and TruDance is wonderful so far. Staff and Teachers are very helpful and the parents are great. Not your typical "dance mom" vibe from here. Everyone is truly nice and pleasant to be around and most of all my daughter enjoys it. read more

Allan frias is da bomb! This is the best place to take his class because it is not packed! read more

As a parent of two girls, my husband and I are very happy with our girls being apart of TruDance. It is definitely a family atmosphere. Love to see the big girls mentoring and encouraging our little ones to do their best. That is what the Trujillo Family has taught all their dancers. TruDance is fantastic in all genres of dance whether you want to compete, recreational (little ones) or whether you want to learn the techniques of dance. All the dance teachers here have had extensive dance training. You can not go wrong here!!! You register online yourself. You always have access to your account and know what you owe in detail. The one thing that this dance studio does that others do not is giving back to the community. A lesson that has showed my girls that giving back is very important. read more

My daughter (9) and I love this dance studio! She looks forward to going every time she has class and has never complained! She's always excited to learn new choreography and has made many friends here. The teachers are great. My daughters review "I love it there because the teachers are really nice and I love learning new dance moves" read more

Both of my children have been with Trudance from the day they opened their doors. I can not express how grateful I am to this studio. They have nurtured my children and taught them so much. The growth not only in their dancing abilities, but their self confidence is unbelievable. The atmosphere is awesome. They treat EVERY student equally. It does not matter your size or dancing ability, they encourage every child to be the best they can be. I have been at other studios where it is super competitive and "looks" matter. Here, everyone that wants to dance, can dance! If you are looking for a place to send your child(ren) to dance in a positive environment, this is the place you want to send them. Not only will they learn excellent technique, they will do it in a place where they will feel comfortable. read more

This is our first year taking classes with TruDance. Overall, I am not satisfied and not sure if I will enroll again. It does not seem like my child has learned much over the year. She has been dancing since she was four and has the aptitude for dance. She also takes other dance classes besides TruDance. Aside from the learning aspect, I have had to email a few times to correct billing issues. If you are not paying attention, you could easily be overcharged if taking multiple classes. read more

Trudance is a dream dance studio. The Co-owners Alicia and Sarita are amazing dancers in their own right, but if it is possible they are even better teachers. We left a large, more established "elite" studio and have never looked back. The registration is all online and the fees are transparent! The teachers are teaching the girls how to dance as well as well as giving them strong technique. The choreography is fun, age appropriate and unique, no "cookie cutter" dancers here. Alicia and Sarita have such contagious enthusiasm that they make everyone feel welcome and part of the TruDance Family! read more

We have been with Trudance since they opened:). It is a dream studio:). The teachers are all incredible. It is a very positive and loving environment in which the dancers are thriving and learning in. The owners and the office manager are the best! read more
