My daughter (6) is currently in Ballet/HipHop with Ariel. We have loved her teaching so much we've followed her from previous dance studios. My brother (12) is currently in Ballet/Tap/Jazz class, he absolutely loves it! Ariel is an absolute rockstar. She's kind and patient. Her love of dance is shown throughout each one of her students. My daughter has grown such a passion for dance, we plan to be here for a while! There are specials needs and adult classes too, so it's fun for all ages. 100% recommend bringing your little one here!

My little dancers

Ariel is a ray of sunshine! Her studio environment is nothing short of warming and welcoming. She has been wonderful to both of my girls and they've learned and gained so much confidence within themselves! She is amazing at her craft and I'd highly recommend bringing your children here.

Me when I was 10

Ariel was my dance teacher from age 3- 13 and I loved her then! Now she teaches my 4 year old daughter and she is simply the sweetest, most talented dance teacher. She has so much experience teaching kids. She is so patient with all ages and knows how to teach in a way that my 4 year old is actually improving and becoming a great little dancer. I highly recommend this studio!!

Considerable difficulty getting in touch with anyone through both email and phone (MANY unreturned…read moremessages). Staff seems stretched too thin and instructors don't seem to always know what's going on have been quick to anger (scold entire classes, shame individuals in front of the class, or send mixed messages) which has been discouraging and stressful to many of the girls even if they aren't the one directly in the firing line. While class prices are reasonable, recital and costume fees are astronomical compared to other studios (especially considering some outfits are sourced through SHEIN are very low cost) and you are still required to purchase specific earrings and makeup- so plan on $300+ per recital... you will also be required to shell out more for tickets to actually see your child perform which could be multiple times over 2-3 days. Also be aware that some of the classes for older girls have had routines and costumes that are not always quite appropriate for someone under 18 and are borderline objectionable- not only uncomfortable for the dancer but also many times for the audience. If you're looking for anything above a basic class for a young beginner, I'd suggest checking out other studios that might be a better fit.

Another local studio said my five year old wasn't good enough for beginner hip hop. So glad she was…read morewilling to try again at cadence. The teacher welcomed her and she loves her weekly class! Plus Cadence prices are so reasonable and you are able to watch the class (the other studio had blinds lowered all of class so parents couldn't watch). Thank you Cadence for bringing my daughter so much joy. Couldn't be more grateful for your welcoming environment for beginners!

And when you've done things over the years that you regretted signing your kids up for -- and have the kind of wonderful experience you've had here -- it makes you just wish every business was run this way. Everyone, from the front desk to the dance instructors, are nice and do their jobs well.

My introverted five year daughter who had never taken a dance class decided she wanted to take a…read morehip hop class. After getting off the waitlist she was eager to begin. We arrive and instructor was rude saying you aren't scheduled for a trial today. I told him I could get out my email confirming our trial. I showed him the email confirming her trial. While we were sorting this out the kids in the class were chatting. He then yells at them "do you want to start class with a strike. Legs crossed, arms in lap, don't talk". I wanted to walk out at this point but my daughter would be so disappointed. He agreed reluctantly she could join the class. I ask if I could watch class he said "no, but since she is new today I'll open the blinds the last two minutes of class". Then after class he says in front of my daughter "as you can see when we went fast she just stood there. When we went slower she did follow along. I don't think she is a good fit for this class but if you want to come back for a second trial we can see how she does after that." I was shocked. I had already decided we weren't coming back based on how he treated the students but he literally decided my five year old wasn't good enough to do beginners 5-7 year old hip hop. And he said all this in front of her. Talk about soul crushing. Needless to say, she was dejected. I put her on a waitlist for another dance studio and a few months later despite the previous rejection I was proud of her for joining another beginner hip hop class. I was able to watch the entire first class and the teacher kindly welcomed her. She has been loving hip hop class at this other studio ever since! Needless to say, I cannot recommend this studio for 5-7 year old beginner hip hip despite the studio's popularity.

The studios themselves are quite nice and spacious. They play good music at a nicely moderate…read morevolume, and often allow you to use your own. I have only taken open pole so far, though I've been doing so pretty regularly, and there have been a couple of instances of start time being later than scheduled, but not by much... and they always let you stay a little later when that happens. It's not usually a problem for me, since I tend to get there a few minutes late sometimes anyway. So just be aware that if you're a stickler for things starting on time, that may not always happen here. There have been a couple of instances of last-minute canceling of class, which was disappointing for me. They are good about texting you and letting you know, though I do wish they wouldn't cancel so close to the class starting time. If they absolutely have to cancel class, I would appreciate a few hours notice at least. For some reason, for the last two days I've had trouble navigating the website and the app... neither would allow me to sign in to a class. I've never had this problem before, so I'm not quite sure what's wrong yet. Both Oceanside and Encinitas are nice beach towns, too. So that's definitely a plus.

What an amazing experience! I had all the feelings my first time (anxiety, self doubt,…read moreexcitement). I am a 48 yr old big girl and felt super welcomed and never did I feel like I did not belong there. So far I have had 2 instructors Heather & Rebecca. Both were amazing instructors. So far I have only taken the first timers intro course and I can't wait to take more!!

Fortunately, the musicians were all top notch professional musicians with peak level musicality other wise I would have walked out... MUSICIANS: Professional and their playing was very soothing.

I couldn't even have the screen on. Too strict for a small theatre... AMBIANCE: 7/10 you could hear fire trucks passing by in the background. Do they plan to leave the theater doors open throughout the entire performance? This is definitely very different from Carnegie Hall... I should have known better. Joe Hisaishi would not be performing at a little theatre like this one... I would steer clear!!!

They are very organized as far as getting the attendees to their seats. They are also very friendly. We found the place to be very clean and the chairs pretty comfortable. Our tickets were for the C section which was seated further and higher. I thought this was perfect for the performance we were seeing. I will have to keep this place in mind for future shows. I would recommend the theater. Street parking is available and not too far away is a parking garage. Be aware of where you park, watch for timed parking signs.
