Both kids love this place and look forward to attending their class. The staff are nice, helpful, and the property is beautiful. There is a small area near the acting room so that my little one can play while her brother takes his class. There's a table and chairs for family to sit. I highly recommend this place and hope to stay here for many years.

Our…read moredaughter recently graduated after spending several years in both the ballet and contemporary dance programs. The teachers are excellent and go out of their way to get to know the students and work with them as individuals. For kids more serious about dance or musical theatre, the troupes and companies enable them to get more specialized instruction, as well as several performance opportunities during the year. On a couple of occasions we traveled and performed in the Choreographers festival in Palm Desert, California, where many of the top programs are invited each year. Highly recommend.

If you're interested in joining, and don't know anyone that is currently enrolled, just ask any…read moreparent and both of you get a credit to your account. They offer several classes based on age. One of the limitations they have is gymnastics. Boys can join gymnastics if they are under four (? Or 5?) years old, but when they get older, they cannot move to a higher level because it is for girls only. Otherwise, they have dance, swimming and Tag. We currently have our daughter enrolled in tag, and most of the teachers are pretty good. It gets a bit tricky when you have other kids in the same class who are disruptive and the teacher doesn't do much to navigate to the class back. If! You are a parent that likes to come early before the class, it might be a bit tricky getting in since the other classes are just getting out. With that, the best area to park is in the back. There's even a back door there you can enter through. If you miss a class or are planning to miss a class, you just have to make sure to notify them via website two hours prior to the class so that you can get a make up for the class for next time, so make sure you grab all of the class schedules located in the check-in desk on the wall because you can choose any make up class to try! Overall, it's a good all in one place to try.

My wife and I started taking dance lessons with Dior, and we honestly could not be happier. From…read morethe very first lesson, he made us feel completely welcome and comfortable, regardless of our experience level. His teaching style is clear, encouraging, and engaging -- we truly feel like we're learning and improving every time we step on the floor. What really sets Dior apart is how fun he is to be around. He brings great energy, patience, and humor to each lesson, which makes the experience something we genuinely look forward to. Dancing never feels intimidating with him as an instructor. We've also had the opportunity to work with his partner, Jordan, and together they are an incredible team. Their chemistry, professionalism, and shared passion for teaching make the lessons even better. The two of them create an environment that is supportive, motivating, and genuinely enjoyable. We cannot say enough good things about Dior and Jordan. If you're looking for instructors who are talented, welcoming, and truly invested in their students, we highly recommend them!

Rip off. Train the teacher program while the teacher tries to pretend to teach you dance for…read morethousands of dollars. Owners grew up in the exact same environment and are never around to actually teach. They will show up when they are selling outrageously priced events to put you in FOMO mode. The model is new students all the time so the inexperienced teachers can fake their way thru lessons and charge a fortune. Go ANYWHERE else. Check out any of their annual holiday videos on YouTube and see for yourself. Not one good performance and lazy inexperienced teachers full of crap to pump you up and out of your money. The reason there are so many five star reviews is because they make it a requirement to go online and give them a review as part of a system to qualify for freebies. So again using their model to sell sell sell, you have to give them a good review so you can get a free lesson or a small party at the end of the month in which they ask you to bring your own food and supply all of the drink drinks for them and in my opinion is never a good deal.

My daughters were so excited to get to go to dance for bring a friend day. When I went to pick them up, they were so upset that they were made to sit to the side and watch girls rehearse. Not sure what the point of bring a friend day was. Seems like a major missed opportunity to get more girls interested in attending dance classes there. Had the opposite effect for us.

My daughter, along with the other queens, never received a dime. She changed the pageant date a total of 4 times( Oct 15, Nov 12, Dec 3, and now its TBD) She promised a family a refund via email after the date was changed on them and now she is refusing to refund them. She lied about my daughters sponsor. She told one of her current queens via text message that an event was cancelled(too wet to attend) in order to exclude her from attending. The event was in fact not cancelled and Cynthia and 5 of her other queens were there. The way she purposely excluded a girl was awful.

We highly recommend El Dorado Dance Academy to anyone looking for a place where dancers can thrive, build confidence, and be part of an incredible community.

Amy at EDDA North is incredible!! I have done a lot of children's activities over the years and no…read moreinstructor has ever compared to Amy. If you have the opportunity to sign your child up for a class with Amy, do it! She is by far the most patient instructor I have ever seen and she goes out of her way to know every child's name. Which is impressive because the class sizes are large and the roster changes from week-to-week. Remembering you child's name might not be a big deal to you but it means the world to the dancers and it also reflects her passion and attention to detail. She makes every class fun, interactive, and knows how to pivot when children are feeling a bit squirrelly. Amy is a true asset to EDDA North and I hope she is valued as such! I have twin girls and we have taken 6-7 months of ballet with her and I can't rave about her enough

Where do we even begin...Starting off, Sarah was very much approachable from the conversations we…read morehad on here just to get an inquire to the start of us meeting with her so she knew what couple she was going to work with. Scheduling with her was so easy and straight forward. She listened to what we wanted for our first dance. We had a mashup of songs & each song that she listened to, she had a dance in mind. She also asked for our input which she added onto the dance. She definitely makes you feel welcomed at her dance space. She's funny when critiquing you. She'll tell you what you're doing wrong and how to fix it. We're so extremely happy that we chose Sarah to help choreograph our first dance. I will say (me the bride) had a bit of a hiccup due to my dress being longer than I had anticipated & a bit of my nerves getting to me, but for the majority of it, our dance turned out great & the crowd was impressed with our dance, especially bc my husband and I don't dance ourselves. Overall, we strongly recommend booking with Sarah!

At the time of…read moremy class I had a couple knee issues but I didn't want that to stop me from trying new things (without pushing myself) and spin/bikes are pretty safe for me to use. I let the instructor know about my injury so if she seen me take it easy or go slow, she knew what was up. She was so supportive and understanding! The other members of the class were friendly, chatting to one another before the class and saying hi to the newbie, me. One of them helped me get my shoes attached to the bike since I didn't know how and another helped me with the bars. It was a collaborative environment of strong women which was amazing to be in. I am a plus size lady and while I dont let that stop me from being active, sometimes I feel like an outlier size-wise. But in this class there were women of all sizes and shapes and everyone was getting their workout on and having a blast! I love how we all sang at the end of the session- this class was the definition of a fun group class environment. Great value for the class and everyone should try it.

I watched the Swan Lake ballet performed by World Ballet Company at the Harris Center. I felt it…read morewas an overpriced, mediocre performance. I got bored by the sets and dancing quickly. My ticket cost $100 plus a $7 service fee. If you want professional ballet, you have to head to SF Ballet in San Francisco. Harris Center is part of Folsom Lake College, a community college. It's a school auditorium. Rows are narrow. Seats are not that comfy or spacious. It does not compare to the beautiful performing arts theaters in downtown Sacramento or San Francisco. There were two sets of restrooms on the main floor. Not very many stalls in one women's restroom, maybe like 6. I thought this wording on the ticket and parking permit printout was confusing: "Ample parking is located adjacent to the Harris Center facility in Lot D." I guess the Harris Center is located in Lot D because there is definitely not enough parking in Lot D alone. We and many others ended up parking in the much larger nearby Lot C. Passes purchased through campus kiosks are $2. On the map, I saw three Daily Parking Permit kiosks located on College Parkway, the loop around campus. Passes purchased online or through the box office are $3, incurring a $1 administrative fee. If you order online, remember print your parking permit to display on your dashboard. It's good that parking is easy and inexpensive.
