This is a premiere dance school run by a talented and inspired dancer. I have seen her work over…read morethe past 20 (30?) years. I know dancers who have learned from her and they all have been very happy and well-trained. Her performances that she creates have been nothing short of brilliant. Erin has a passion for her work. She is caring and involved with her school like no one else that I know. If you or your child is looking for a place to learn dance, I'd recommend this school. You will learn correctly - but on a good gradient - not too fast, not to slow - with the end being a wonderful dancer, to your best ability.

This review is based on our experience in Ms. Alexis' Primary A/B ballet class…read more Firstly, I want to give Ms. Alexis a 5 star rating on how well she works with young girls. She was able to magically sweep my 5-year-old daughter away into a fairytale land where she imagined all of her favorite things and learned proper ballet techniques, strengthened and stretched her body, and had fun dancing with her friends. She loved it so much, we wished it was more than once a week and didn't stop for summer break. Something I would like to see more of is the teaching of short dance routines after all of the typical exercises they do. One thing that many of the parents were dissatisfied with was how often there was a substitute teacher, and the general lack of communication there was regarding class schedules and offerings from the office. I hope this review will help you in deciding which program to put your child in, and will provide the school some insite into our experience. We're looking forward to returning for the upcoming fall session!

We had an amazing experience at Arthur Murray Dance Studio while preparing for our wedding. We came…read morein with no dance experience and learned a fully choreographed first dance that helped us build so much confidence. Our private instructor, Issac, was incredibly patient, encouraging, and fun, which made every lesson enjoyable and stress free. We also attended group classes led by Issac, Katie, Amaia, and Sophie, and those classes were very beginner friendly and really helped reinforce what we were learning in our private lessons. Dancing was something we both looked forward to! The environment and community was welcoming and supportive, even during their Friday dance parties, and we never felt judged. We're so grateful for the experience and would highly recommend Arthur Murray to any couple preparing who are preparing for their wedding.

I brought my daughter here and the vibe was pretty good. She took a liking to the other dancers and…read morethe teacher was really nice. Other places were way too expensive and it seemed like they just shoved a bunch of kids in a room and tried to teach them how to dance which made me feel like my daughter wouldn't get the attention she needed. This place actually worked with my daughter and placed her in a class based on her experience and age. I'm glad I found this place. Plus it's near a nice shopping and dining area so it keeps me busy while I wait.

Helen shared her goals for my daughter and her intention to bring out her confidence and it made me so happy. I absolutely love her vibe and everything she has to offer.

As a former professional dancer (and now recreational adult dancer and performer), I think Leigh's…read moreclasses are FABULOUS! When I moved to LA, her class was my favorite of all the ones that I tried. Her class offers all of these things that are nearly impossible to find in one teacher/class: 1. Class is technically challenging, but she offers a variety of levels, so there's a class for everyone. 2. Leigh truly cares about each of her students and is kind and patient, but she also knows exactly when to push. 3. Leigh is an experienced and knowledgable teacher who expertly crafts classes that make sense (i.e., the barre builds on itself and connects to the center). And if you take multiple classes from her, you'll see that her classes build on each other as well! This is an INVALUABLE skill and asset that not all teachers can provide. 4. Leigh's combos are the perfect mix of dancey, technically challenging, beautiful, and FUN. 5. Leigh puts a lot of time and effort into finding a variety of awesome music. She even features special music in her Halloween and holiday classes! 6. If you take Leigh's class on Zoom, it's truly one of the best around. She is INCREDIBLY accommodating when it comes to her Zoom students; she's always checking in to see if there are questions in the "home studios," and offers modifications for EVERY combo for those of us with less space. She also offers encouragement and corrections to her Zoom students (a rare find these days)! 7. Her website is also super clear and easy to navigate and class registration is very smooth! In summary, I HIGHLY recommend Leigh's class; she and her community are so welcoming, and I can't say enough good things about her skills as a teacher (and you will likely be distracted by her high developpes when she demonstrates - she is a wonderfully inspiring role model and dancer!). Bonus: if you are seeking performing opportunities, she has a company (Leigh Purtill Ballet Company) that dancers can join either in-person or remotely.

For a dance studio, they do have a good amount of positives…read more They offer an average price of $18 for a drop-in class (whether it's for adults or youth classes). The instructors try to be inclusive and are consistent (meaning they teach more than one class every week). They all have a wide range of dance experience and you will not be disappointed by their expertise. You will not find difficulty joining or building a community as there are a lot of regulars from the area that are nice. The building itself is spacious and rental prices seem to be good as well (minimum starting price is $20 an hour). The different spaces they have varies between 4 rooms (Warehouse and Studios A/B/C). There is a small lot and if that's full, there is a decent amount of street parking. It's close to the freeway entrance and plenty of food and other attractions around the area. However, with some positives also comes some areas to improve upon. With the limited parking and street parking, I would recommend coming at least 10-15min early to make sure you can arrive on time to class. Their system tends to be slow at times and you may miss the first 3-10 minutes of class trying to look for parking or wait due to slow check in times. The other focus is the variety of dance classes (in terms of competency levels and styles of dance). It seems that this studio focuses more on hip-hop, Salsa, and Contemporary classes being the most accessible (sprinkled with a couple of jazz, heels, and k-pop once a week). They have the same round of teachers and it would be nice to try different dance styles and genres. This studio definitely can continue to upgrade and grow more! Would try this place at least once and see if it's your vibe.

On July 25, 2025, I brought my 4-year-old daughter to her 4:00 PM gymnastics class. We arrived at…read more3:59 PM and, as directed by the front desk, walked through the ballet room to get there. The ballet class was already past its scheduled end time, so we waited until the students finished before passing through. Halfway across the room, the ballet teacher suddenly began yelling at us aggressively. My daughter was terrified. I calmly asked her to lower her voice, but she continued screaming--following us into the gymnastics room in front of dozens of children. I have a heart condition and began feeling unwell from the stress, yet she would not stop. No staff intervened. I assumed the school would handle it properly, but I was wrong. Later, the owner defended the teacher, accused me of being a "criminal," and took zero responsibility. The real victims were my daughter and the many children who witnessed this unprovoked outburst. Parents should be aware of three serious concerns: 1. Poor safety - No security, unattended front desk, and children can easily wander outside to the street. I personally saw a 6-year-old disappear for 20 minutes. 2. Emotionally unstable ballet teacher - Multiple online reviews mention her history of yelling at kids when parents aren't present. 3. Unprofessional management - Canceled classes without notice, no accountability, and intimidation tactics from the owner, Serge. I regret not calling the police that day. If I had, maybe fewer children would be subjected to this behavior. Parents, please protect your children. A school should be a safe, nurturing place--not one where kids are traumatized and parents are threatened.

The owner, Serge, is easily accessible and always willing to listen to any feedback or concerns I have.
