*Rediscovering Myself Through Dance: A Journey for New Moms*…read more As a child, I found joy in Bharatnatyam and Hindustani classical vocals, with performance feeling like second nature. But as a new mother, I realized how much I missed that creative outlet--something just for me. Stepping into Dance Identity in Sunnyvale reignited that passion. It's not just about learning new dance styles; it's about reconnecting with myself, embracing movement as an expression of joy, and finding a supportive community along the way. Some of my fellow dancers have become dear friends, making this journey even more rewarding. To all the new moms (and anyone else seeking to be part of a community while learning to dance) out there looking for an energizing escape, a space to move, express, and connect--come dance with us. You deserve this!

I am a regular at this studio for years now. I am not sure how I missed leaving a review for you…read moreYelpers! I can promise you there is something for everyone - from non dancers to professional dancers. I personally have grown so much here and I love all my instructors. They offer dance classes in many styles. I've tried a bunch of their classes like hip-hop, bolly-hop, Jazz, salsa and contemporary. Oh! they offer fitness classes as well, you won't regret it. Check out their Instagram for videos! :) @danceid, @difitwithshaira

We started at a small dance studio for 7 years then the pandemic hit. After that we found Dance…read moreAcademy USA. My daughter has been dancing for DAU for 5 years now. This studio has challenged her and she has grown so much to be a better dancer and person. I wish I had moved her to this studio sooner. The teachers and staff are all wonderful. If there is any concerns addressed they do their best to resolve it. When greeting on phone, I believe they should say their name first so It sounds more welcoming. And not so stiff sounding. Especially, since the person on the other end of phone probably doesn't know how sweet the office Staff are.

I have never more happy about a decision I've made. Not only has she drastically improved in just two years, getting a title, scholarships and awards to boot. But, more importantly we've found a new incredible family. These kids and parents all truly care about each other and it's so beautiful. No drama just unbelievable support and great vibes. The teachers are the most amazing humans who truly care about your kid and have a great balance of cheering them on and guiding them to their best potential. I adore every single one of them. They have given my daughter (and I) so much love and support that I'm forever grateful for. I also take their adult classes which has been the most amazing experience for me as well. Yes, it's great fitness and fun. But it has also honestly been such a light in my life on my darkest days and been so great for my mental health. You get the same incredible teachers and amazing supportive community. Who knew one trial class could change our lives so much for the better? Forever grateful for our new family!

It's incredible spacious and the lighting and overall design is great. Their production quality is amazing, you will get the nicest videos after every class. They set it up so it's incredible easy for you to download. They also plenty of cubby space for your to store your personal items while dancing. Instructors I can't say much here since I took only one class but they seem all really friendly and passionate. Booking/Signup You can book online, it's pretty straightforward. You can look at the calendar and sign up. I love that they put previews of what you would be doing if possible so you know what you're signing up for. You can buy one class or multiples in packs. I definitely think it's well worth the price they charge. Classes THEY OFFER SO MANY CLASSES, I was honestly surprised at the breadth of class types they offer. Definitely makes me want to explore more but check them out if you're looking for something new or familiar.

Pros: - Class filming is professional and very quickly published - AMAZING sales on class point bundles! I snagged one during their Black Friday sale and a single class came out to ~$16. Beats any other studio in the area. - Incredible pop-up/master classes. I don't know how they have the connections they do but they get some really big names (Sean Lew, Bada Lee, Kiel Tutin) Cons: - Some weekly teachers do not have the training to be teaching (esp jazz funk). Feels more like they are dancing for themselves to get a good video on their social media. See below for instructors I LOVE and would recommend. - Website can be buggy; I've had friends who were charged for points that did not show up in their account. Thankfully, the studio is decently responsive over Instagram but definitely keep an eye on your account/credit card when purchasing points. Instructors I highly recommend: Brittany (Beg Plus Jazz Funk) - soo much experience as a former NBA/IFL professional dancer! Brittany always brings great energy and really gets to know the dancers in her class. Her choreography is more on the beg/int side, so a good challenge for anyone new to dance. Musicality is always on point! Nate S. (Beginner Choreography/Foundations Camp) - THE best intro class for those just starting out! Nate is highly encouraging and his class is definitely a judgement-free zone. I've been dancing for nearly a decade and I still attend his foundation classes because he breaks things down so well. Also love that he teaches hip hop terminology!

We are not long with the dance center but after watching the recital, I am really happy with them…read more We discovered this dance center during COVID pandemic where the kid has more time after school and it's nearby where we live. We joined midway of the school year around March. Being a total newbie, I emailed the dance center and got a really detailed explanation and some videos for me to decide what level I should sign my kid up for. They had classes outdoor in person as well as online. During the program, Leann, the center manager is always helpful to my questions. Turns out she's one of the great dance teacher too! The dance recital was in June and it was held in the park nearby. I like this setting for kids because the kids can watch all other dance performance and be exposed to a various kinds of dances. The teachers are very accommodating for the little ones. There's a little one crying before getting on the stage and the teacher picked her up and danced the whole song on stage with the kiddo in her arms! They have performance teams going for competitions and you can see the skills are a bit better than the regular classes. I would say the focus of this center is not to get winning is so many competitions, but more on getting the kids to enjoy dancing and get them moving. My kid joined a hip hop class with Veksler when she was 5 and she wasn't into it as it was much more focused on the performance. Now that she's older and we let her try Jazz and she likes it much better, so I'm happy of the result.

He teaches salsa on2 and the classes usually look like this: -Stretching and warm up -Footwork -practice with music -Partner work -Practice with music At the end of every class he demonstrates everything again slowly with counts and lets you record so you can practice on your own! Hector really encourages all the students to practice outside of class as he is very mindful of his students learning time. I've met so many new people through Mambonova and through latin dance!

I started learning dance with Ceech with very little dance experience. I've taken a few dance…read moreclasses elsewhere but with Ceech, the learning experience has been more rewarding. He focuses on making your foundational skills more solid. For a beginner, it's easy to rush to look cool but with Ceech, a lot of patience is involved from him into making a move really solid. This is exactly what I'm looking for from my dance coach -grounding the basic moves really well. In helping his students get to a move, I appreciate the progressive approach he takes into getting to the final move. Not only does Ceech break it down into smaller and easier steps, he also improvises progressive steps that starts from the easier moves that leads to the more complicated moves and eventually to the move we're trying to nail down. He does this based on what he observes real time about your situation and your current dance skills so I actually end up learning the move faster than if I were to just practice the harder move 10,000 times. I also appreciate Ceech's knowledge in dance in general. I also share my experience from my other dance classes with him and sometimes we talk about moves from my other classes as well. You can also learn a lot about the history of hip hop from him, for those who are interested. So far, I've had about 6-7 lessons with Ceech but I do see myself learning from him long term. Highly recommend Ceech to anyone who's looking to get serious about hip hop.
