The…read moretoddlers always have big smiles, stay engaged throughout class and genuinely seem to enjoy themselves. Toddler Class: 45-minute class includes music, ballet, bubbles, parachute play, story time, and coloring, which keeps the little ones entertained and (mostly) engaged from start to finish. Instructors: We've had both Olivia N. and Olivia P. and they're both fantastic. They're patient, encouraging and great with the toddlers. It's not uncommon to see a little one wanting to stay close to one of the instructors, which says a lot about how comfortable and safe they make the children feel. Cost: Pricing is comparable to other toddler ballet programs in the area. They also have some great promos, including unlimited classes through August, a free tutu with first-month enrollment and military discounts. Scheduling & Logistics: Scheduling online is easy, make-up classes are available and there are no annual registration or hidden fees. Parking: Free & convenient parking is available right in front of the studio. Overall, we've had a great experience and would definitely recommend TTS-RB to families looking for a fun, welcoming introduction to dance for their toddler.

I enrolled my daughter in a "Baby Ballet" class at Tutu Ballet in Rancho Bernardo based on her age…read moregroup. She is on the younger side, so I understood going in that she might not be able to fully participate in every activity. My goal was not only to help her develop motor skills, but also to give her a chance to socialize and for me to meet other moms, as we are new to the area. Unfortunately, from the moment we arrived, the experience felt very unwelcoming. We showed up to class and no one greeted us. I introduced myself to the instructor and the group and was met with blank stares. I even asked if I could enter the gated area to participate at the start of class, and again received no response. Trying to break the ice, I made a light comment about noticing everyone had their shoes off and asked where I should place my belongings. The instructor, Clarissa, responded coldly with "no shoes allowed," without any further guidance or welcome. Once we got settled, the class itself actually had a nice structure. I appreciated the variety of activities and how it helps introduce young children to a ballet studio environment. Even though my daughter was a bit too young for some parts, I could see the potential value of the program. However, the lack of warmth and basic courtesy completely overshadowed that. I felt uncomfortable the entire time. At the end of class, I left right away because I didn't feel welcomed enough to stay and socialize with the other moms. As I was gathering my things, Clarissa approached me only to hand me a "first class" promotional flyer without any conversation, feedback, or acknowledgment. I had really hoped this would be a place where both my daughter and I could feel comfortable, build connections, and return regularly. Instead, I left feeling disappointed and unwelcome. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

And tonight, instructor was playing some good old school hip hop (Tribe Called Quest probably from my high school days 30+ years ago) and I definitely got into a groove and was very excited about learning the dance steps and got the most of it!

The women in the back with me, cause I refuse to be in front, were all fun and supportive! However, my running man at the end was walking! LOL! My only complaint is that the AC cannot keep up with the heat that's generated! Yes, this class is fire! Definitely worth checking out classes here! It is a little far for me, but I will definitely be back!

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).

It can be challenging to find a dance studio where there's no to minimal favoritism and where it's run professionally. We finally found the perfect studio for our daughter and she is attending her 2nd year now. SoCal is run by a studio owner who really cares about the team culture of the students. She makes the dancers feel like one big family. Pros- 1- Option for Convention and Competition Team. 2- Large new facility. 3- Organized and professional. 4- A wide range of dance classes such as: ballet, pointe, hip hop, jazz, tap, and more. 5- Fair pricing. 6- The studio owner is very involved and is a great support to the dancers. Cons- 1- No novice adult dance classes for moms that are wannabe dancers (like me) :(

After a year of dance lessons for my youngest daughter I finally have a good understanding of what…read moreGeorgia's school of Dance is all about. Hopefully after reading my review you can make an informed decision to sign up or not. In the end we moved on to a new studio (cheaper price and better communication). But Georgia's still might the right choice for you. One of my biggest fears with any dance studio is when they force girls to dress and dance provocatively like they were in a hip hop music video. I'd say Georgia's is more on the conservative side which was a big plus. If you're new here it can be tough getting pertinent dance studio information. Sue (owner) has no concept of technology and often posts official announcements via poster board on the windows of the studio. Good luck getting info for picture day or info buying the recital video. That's probably one of the main factors for leaving here. The classes are fine and so was the instruction. Tho keep in mind instructors struggle with receiving information from the owner too. The big recital in June. After a year of classes you'll be expecting a proper recital and Georgia's doesn't disappoint. They rent out the Center Stage theater ( California Center of the Arts) for three nights of recitals. A total of 40 different classes put on a performance before a packed house each night. If you're into a big production, Georgia's is the place to go. Notes: - Cash only!?! This is not a liquor store! - Instructors can be let go on a whim.. - No parents allowed. They have a waiting room up front, or chairs in the back alley area but no cameras of the classes like other studios. - While there are some very competitive dancers (and parents) that's not the norm. - The receptionist/ cash collector is just there to collect payment. No vested interest in being enthusiastic about the studio or the customers. - There are additional fees for the recital and a whopping $26 per ticket to watch each night. I'm not suggesting Sue (owner) is making a profit and I suspect she's losing money on the recital. I'm pointing out additional fees you may or may not be made aware of. This also goes back to the lack of communication. So is Georgia's worth it? Look, there's a great recital and most people like this studio. Just know it's far from perfect and the owner refuses to modernize.. So yeah, give it a try for a year..

My daughter loves her teachers and dancing here, and as a mom (and someone whose own experience in dance was the old school approach where you were pushed beyond what was actually appropriate for your young body/mind) I appreciate that proper form and alignment are taught, even from a very early age, in a way that is recognizes her as an individual and builds her self esteem. And although the owners and instructors here are former professional dancers and each accomplished in their own rights, I love that the message at this studio is "LDI for all", whether your goal is for a future in the dance world, or just a nurturing environment for your child to learn discipline and movement. 5 stars!!!
