    With owner and director, Izzy, at her birthday heels class
    Pam L.

    This is my one year review on VIBE since I take forever to write down my thoughts. I had been itching to take a dance class but also too timid to check any out on my own. About one year ago in July 2023, a mom posted in a local Facebook group about taking dance class as a moms night out event. I used to take dance classes a very long time ago so that intrigued me and prompted me to respond. It was about time that I started being active again after becoming a mom. I was honestly intimidated by the other students, but I stayed out of my comfort zone long enough to make friends with a group of inspiring women that are decades younger than me. This hobby has been the healing constant in my life that I needed to reclaim my identity. The owner, Izzy, is amazingly sweet and such a great instructor! She teaches heels & grooves, jazz technique, and kids jazz classes as well. The moment she learned my name, I became a permanent student. She encourages us to cheer each other on and to look at others for inspiration but not to compare because each body is unique and moves differently. I honestly feel as though Izzy and the ladies in heels class are my third family. She keeps in touch with students each week via personal text...it's not an automated system message! A previous instructor named Feliciano was excellent at teaching body isolations and twirk classes. I learned so much from him, and he helped me rekindle my passion for dance. His collaboration pieces with Izzy were advanced level but broken down so that even beginners could do the moves. I am sad that he moved away but can look forward to special workshops whenever he visits us at VIBE. A new instructor named Isabel started teaching Kpop dance classes twice a week. I have always wanted to take Kpop dance classes, but most studios that teach Kpop are too far from home. I cannot learn dances on my own from just watching music videos (over and over again, mirrored and at slow speed... I've tried). Isabel has a fun and upbeat teaching style that melts away learning frustrations. This is such a treat! Throughout the year, Izzy holds special events, such as a heels performance and party for Valentine's Day, a mommy & me jazz class for Mother's Day, drinks and snacks for each student's birthday class, and a holiday market supporting local businesses. Between heels and Kpop dance classes and the studio being so conveniently located (5 min drive for me) with ample free parking, I have no excuse but to get my dance workout on! I love the sanctuary that is VIBE.

    This review is for the Grand Opening of VIBE Dance Studio. They pride themselves on being an all-inclusive venue that welcomes people of all color, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age or religious belief. This could not have been any more evident. Parking: Ample and plentiful Studio: I love the ambience. The space is clean, bright, wide and open. Instructors: We were treated to some incredible performances from the following - Izzy: This was my first time watching a contemporary dance performance in person. I was in complete awe. Boy, oh boy is she AMAZING! Think ballerina meets JLo. Simply incredible. - Walter and Monica: I was already familiar Walter as he was the talented professional dance partner for a "So you think you can dance" charity event years ago. His ballroom dance with Monica was beautiful to watch and....inspiring for any couple. They also did a fun group class with the attendees that included people of all ages. The little kiddies seemed to enjoy that most. I would highly recommend Vibe Dance Studio for anyone looking to take a leisurely class OR looking to tap into their inner JLo.

    Another great space where you could express your creativity through dance. When you first walk in you can definitely feel the "VIBE"! Can't wait for some classes for kids so I can sign my kid up.

    Super awesome wall!!

First time, she…read moreloved, however her experience with the new audition process this time was very disappointing and traumatizing. Because of this, we will not be coming back, and my daughter has decided to drop out. The program now uses a new "audition without auditioning" model. But from a child's point of view, this was not clearly explained at all. My daughter thought she was coming to her first class to get to know the teacher and other kids, not hidden audition that would decide casting. It was also her first class, which is already stressful for a child, especially who needs a bit of time to get familiar with new situation. After I raised my concerns with the management, they told me that this was my fault because I was "notified" by email about their new system. But notified of what, exactly? A 10-year-old does not read emails. My daughter was never told directly that she was being auditioned for casting. When she later found out that those activities were actually her audition, she was very upset! This was not about the role she got. She has auditioned before and understands disappointment. What hurt her was feeling unprepared and misled and cheated. It felt like sending a child to their first day of school and then telling them afterward that they just took an important test that will decide their grade for the whole semester. That kind of surprise is unfair and very stressful for a child. We are not comfortable continuing in a program where expectations are not explained directly to the children and are instead pushed onto parents to manage. Our money and time was wasted, and even a partial refund was DENIED. I am glad that I got to enrol my child at great Berkeley Playhouse for the spring and her schedule is not completely waisted.

After a pause during COVID, she returned to participate in a couple of shows with the Kids program, then successfully auditioned for the Junior Competitive theater program in 4th grade. Now entering 7th grade, the growth we've seen in her has been nothing short of remarkable. Her singing, acting, and dancing have all improved exponentially--but even more importantly, the program has helped transform her natural confidence into real poise and presence. She's also built lasting friendships along the way. As part of the competitive theater program, she not only performs with a team but has also chosen to do solo competitions, which have helped her grow as an individual artist. These experiences have pushed her in the best way and have taught her discipline, collaboration, and how to shine on stage. I'm so grateful for the leadership of Chelsea and the entire team. The amount of care and effort they pour into the students and the productions is truly impressive. From "SpongeBob the Musical" to "Alice in Wonderland," the quality of these youth performances is extraordinary--complete with fantastic costumes, imaginative sets, and professional-caliber direction. The instructors are passionate, talented, and committed, and it's inspiring to see former students--many of whom have gone on to study theater in college--return to help with current productions. If she ever tires of theater, they have a solid dance program that offers competition opportunities as well! I'm so glad my daughter has the opportunity to grow within such a creative, supportive, and high-quality program for years to come.

There's zero accountability in apologizing and then saying something to the effect of, "what a rough year it was and our side of the story..." I know the story. I saw and heard kids get crushed. I can't rewrite history, but I wish I had said things in the moment rather than play nice and just listen. Many of us do this all to often (stay quiet). Speak up when we hear something not right. I wish I had. There was no rhyme or reason to the way they placed kids in different levels. For multiple reasons, one of my kids who loved danced and was only encouraged and pushed at the previous studio, was knocked down repeatedly. By the time we left, the confidence they had once had in dance was gone. With ACE not allowing child 3 to be challenged, their technique suffered. I saw their skills slowly decline until I pulled them from ACE and put them in a studio that once again believed in my kid. My youngest kid, whom I thought was in dance just for fun, left the studio and holy bananas. I had no idea my kid was capable of doing the stuff that kid did. Technique improved exponentially within months of leaving ACE. My youngest thankfully was never crushed by their words or glares. But they did feel proud of their accomplishments after leaving, often saying, "I'd never be able to do that at ACE!" I pulled my kids 2.5 years ago but seeing as they lost a ton more kids this year, I'm guessing they haven't changed. They've lost countless "ensemble" - their version of team members over the past few years. Their pay structure for ensemble is a joke. If you're considering this studio for a team, compare it to others (and other pay structures). That's it for now. I may revise it, but it won't be for the better.
