I am leaving this studio 5 stars although an accurate review would be 4.5. Will leave a pro and con…read morelist. My daughter danced here a few years ago and review is late but I'm reviewing all of her dance studies she attended as accurately as I can. Pros - Best training in the area Most classes available ( unlimited worth it) Original choreography at competitions. (Studio owner and teachers pride themselves on it) Training will provide a base and start for anyone wanting to dance professionally. Clean facility with food for purchase available as well as hand sanitizing stations. Kept floors and studio immaculate which we all know helps protect kids in cold and flu season. Cons Can feel impersonal due to the large number of students Some of the teachers can improve delivery of critique. At the time levels were discussed in front of students in some classes which I don't feel professional. Maybe that has changed. Daughter was happy taking technique there after years competing and leaving another studio because bad experience she was done with competition world. I think she would have got more attention/respect from teachers if she was on the team. She left for 2 months to film two movies and was dropped a while level that she was in because she wasn't there and it was done in front of class. I don't see how she could have drastically lost a whole level in that time and daughter didn't feel comfortable dancing with girls 3 years younger so we left studio. The same teachers had taught her for two years, in same level. The Studio owner was very professional and training was amazing, Daughters technique drastically improved while dancing at that studio. Daughter also bought original choreography from Nick to take to Cabaret for a cause in New York. She was featured in broadway world for this dance. I have all faith that Nick will not give this song, Choreo and costume to another dancer throughout his career and if you read my other reviews you will know that is important to us.

The costumes are always tasteful, the choreography is consistently age-appropriate in a world that tends to push kids to grow up too quickly, and--most importantly--our girls look forward to dance every single week. On a more personal note, our oldest daughter went through a difficult medical journey where she experienced severe frontal lobe volume loss and significant memory challenges. During her recovery, her neurology team encouraged us to find an activity that could help rebuild memory and strengthen new neural pathways. We decided to try Step x Step, and it has been one of the biggest blessings for her healing. The team met her exactly where she was, encouraged her with patience and compassion, and helped her rediscover confidence in herself. She has grown so much--not only as a dancer but as a person. We will forever be grateful for this studio and the love they pour into every student.

It had been about 25 years since I last touched a ballet barre. After three adult beginner classes…read moreso far, I want to yelp my awesome experience with Southern California Ballet. I'm not a dance mom (yet). Just an older gal dancing in her socks at this conveniently located studio. Our class is a wonderful range of ages and women. I love that. We may giggle as we fumble the steps and lose our balance... but the class offers exactly what it needs to offer. Fun and movement. Me and about 14 others signed up via the Poway Adult School... but the studio offers drop in classes directly as well. I really hope to try them - they just don't jive with my mommy and work schedule like the Thursday am class has. But I'm hopeful they add more classes or I can somehow make it work. This class has been such a reawakening. When you dance as a child and young adult... and quit... you don't have many outlets for enjoying it after the classes and recitals stop. You don't round up the friends like you do for a game of golf or basketball. Enter... the adult dance class. Boom. Toby, our teacher, is wonderful. He is easy-going and clearly talented. I liked the neat little background he gave us on ballet too. The music is a fun mix of contemporary songs disguised in ballet music. Fun. So much better than I remember as a kid. While I do have some lingering memories of dance... my joints and muscles are in a complete state of disrepair. Frankly, it makes me extra happy to be in the beginner's class. At times it is a bit of a whirlwind, but with continued repetition it sinks in. "Osmosis" as Toby says. So I try not to worry about the terms. I just enjoy each class, the break in my chaotic day... and dance (in between the hip cramps and forgotten steps).

My daughter began on camera acting classes with BBAS 2 years ago, and I finally decided to write a…read morereview. Clearly we both love them, they work! My little one began modeling 3 years ago, and looking back now, I wish I started her classes at this point, as BBAS gives the skill to audition for modeling, and it turns out there is a lot of acting within modeling. Two years ago my child set a goal with her theatrical agent, LATalent, as she wanted to expand her performing to the moving screen. At that time her agent directed us to Brooke Byler's on camera acting classes. Previously my child had stage experience through ballet and musical theatre, but on camera in LA is a whole different ball game. We began using their online classes for both acting and improv. Right away I saw her improvement in the audition room, and within the first month with classes she booked her first commercial! What I didn't expect was the changes in other areas of her life. She gained confidence socializing with friends. Empathy, understanding different people, backgrounds, and values. And her stage presence in ballet and musical theatre improved immensely. She soon qualified for the advanced classes, and after a year on zoom we moved to the in person classes. At this point we've worked with every coach, at every location, and you can't go wrong. They teach scene study, memorization, improv, warm ups, and audition technique in a fun, encouraging environment giving my actor the confidence of knowing what to expect at auditions and on set, and instilling a growing love for acting. She chose to challenge herself with a summer of privates biweekly, and her skills soared. She learned how to show genuine feelings, and how to hide her obvious joy when she was enjoying what she was doing (acting mad, but feeling happy, she'd be smiling sunshine while saying angry lines). She learned to cry on cue. Her range could be Disney, could be drama. For our first year auditioning theatrically, we called on BBAS to coach or film every time. BUT then this crazy thing happened: my child was able to film her own auditions!! And really well!! She gained confidence in her choices. She knows how to warm herself up. She can film the whole thing herself. But she still chooses, for some auditions, to call in her coaches. She's now 10, has been on sets with acting and directing LEGENDS, and her entire acting schooling is thanks to Brooke Byler Acting Studio. Even though she's been successful, continuing to train keeps her competitive and she leaves every class like her first: bubbling over with joyous energy.
