We were blessed to find Pacific Ballet and Suzanne welcomed us with open arms! Suzanne has such passion for dance and knows her stuff. She's trained many dancers who have gone on to professional careers and that's mostly what attracted us to this studio. What I love most about Suzanne is while she is very serious about ballet, she has a heart of gold and the best sense of humor! She makes dance fun for my daughter yet at the same time she knows when to tell my daughter to "suck it up" and keep her head held high. Suzanne has wiped tears from my daughter's face when she gets frustrated, she has wildly clapped and hugged my daughter when she perfects her technique...she has been nothing but encouraging, support and loving. If you have a dancer who is serious and passionate about dance technique, this is the place to be. And not just classical ballet but she also offers hip hop workshops, contemporary dance, barre and conditioning and strength classes. We are very happy here and I foresee a wonderful future for my daughter at this studio.

This is not a competition studio, it is focused on fundamentals and performing, which I like. I'm very happy with this studio and highly recommend it, but what's most important is that my daughter loves it here, which she absolutely does.

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience truly broke my heart…read more I enrolled my 3-year-old son in this gymnastics program hoping it would be a positive, welcoming space where he could learn, grow, and interact with other children. My son is autistic, and like any parent, I'm doing everything I can to help him feel included and comfortable in the world. Before starting, I made the staff aware of his needs. Instead of patience or understanding, what we experienced was the complete opposite. The instructors displayed unprofessional and hurtful behavior--making uncomfortable looks, using hand gestures to signal him to go away, and essentially excluding him rather than supporting him. No child should ever be made to feel like they don't belong--especially in a place that's supposed to encourage growth and confidence. Watching this happen to my son was devastating. I understand that not every instructor is trained to work with children who have different needs--but that is exactly why proper training and awareness are so important. If you're going to work with young children, compassion, patience, and inclusivity should be the baseline. I share this so other parents are aware. Every child deserves kindness, respect, and a chance to participate without judgment. I hope this business takes this seriously and invests in educating their staff so no other child or parent has to go through this.

Everything is great! Definitely recommend! Classes are amazing and definitely walk away learning a…read morelot

If you're getting married -- or just trying not to murder your partner in the kitchen while arguing…read moreover who left the cabinet open -- go see Heidi I came in wanting to learn a simple wedding dance. What I got was choreography, therapy, and a much-needed reminder that my partner and I actually like each other. From the moment we stepped into the studio, she made us feel like Fred and Ginger -- minus the pressure, plus a lot of laughter. They have this rare magic: patient enough to teach two left feet, sharp enough to know when to push, and funny enough to make even a stiff rehearsal feel like a date night. We walked out not just with a first dance we're proud of -- but with a little more rhythm between us too. Honestly, if you're looking for a wedding dance teacher, you just found the best. And if you're looking for a relationship tune-up disguised as a waltz? Even better. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone in love, on the rocks, or just trying to find their beat again.

I thought about giving two stars only because they didn't hassle me about giving me a refund for…read morethis month and the recital outfit I paid for, but no...they just don't deserve two stars. I signed my daughter up for the age 4-6 ballet class. This was our first time at dance class, for her and me, so let me preface this with that--I have no idea how a dance school should be run, but I'm pretty sure, this isn't it. There are about ten kids in this age group, but they run the class at the same time as the next age group up--that has another ten kids in it--so when you pay for that hour of class time what you're actually getting is half an hour because when they're working with the older group, your kid is sitting on the filthy floor getting her pretty pink(required uniform) ballet clothes absolutely dirty. That's twenty kids with the owner and an instructor "teaching them." I warned the owner that she is a pretty wild kid at the beginning of the first class--I mean let's be real, she's four--and it was obvious by the end of the class, she was annoyed with her. After the second class, she said that she was having trouble working with her, but that it usually takes 6 classes for them to get the hang of it. My daughter just finished her third class, and the owner kicked her out of the class saying she wasn't ready. Well...from what I can see no kid is going to be ready if it requires the owner to put forth any effort with them. She herself spends half the classes sitting down on her cell phone, but parents aren't supposed to see this because there's no watching your kids while they dance. There's no cameras or window into the room. There is a large window to the outside, but when I asked her if I could watch from there she said as long as she doesn't see me. I watched from my car for the three classes, and I saw enough. The owner put forth zero effort with trying to teach my kid anything. If you expect small children to behave like cattle, and just do as their supposed to, then this is the place for you. But if you expect more, like for your kid to have fun and to actually learn something--and to be able to JUST BE A KID--steer clear of this establishment. Needless to say, we will not be returning in August as she suggested. Complete waste of time. The only good thing I have to say is that the young instructor(can't recall her name)seemed very patient and kind with my daughter, regardless of how the owner treated her, she should be acknowledged for that. About the only good thing this place has going for them.

I've been looking for a dance studio for a while and was so grateful to find En Pointe. My 5yrs old…read moredaughter went to Summer dance camp and loved it there so much we enrolled her for Ballet, Jazz and Hula for the fall/winter. We also enrolled her 3yrs old sister for Ballet. What sold me on this studio was when I watched Hazel, the owner reminded the children to be respectful of their Team Leaders at Summer dance camp. Ms. Hazel's demeanor is kind, gentle yet firm. You can tell she truly cares about her students and also teaches them good character. The older dancers were also good role models and well mannered. I wanted my girls to be at a place where they can learn to dance in a positive environment and grow with as a family. I can say we've found it here at En Pointe. I also wanted to share my experience with my 3yrs old. For the first 3 or 4 classes, she would cry and would not stay or participate in class without me there. I was thinking about withdrawing her and Hazel understood. She didn't make me feel bad or tried to talk me out of it. Then that next class, my daughter didn't cry and I didn't need to be there. Apparently she found it comforting to dance side by side with Ms. Tiffany. Eventually, Ms. Tiffany would get her back in line with the other dancers but it worked. From then on she went to class and participated and they are practicing for the winter recital now. I love how the instructors connect with each child to build a trusting relationship. Now my daughter gets excited and goes to class even before I tell her to. In summary, I'm giving 5 stars because: 1. Great location 2. Kind, organized Owner always has a smile on her face and very prompt with any emails or texts. 3. Professional and Patient instructors 4. Well mannered older dancers which are good role models for my young children 5. Relax atmosphere for parents and non dancing children in the waiting room 6. Gorgeous studio. Love their glitter wall. 7. I don't know anything about dance or techniques but my girls are learning quick and I see their developments and excited to see their recital this December. 8. Love the big screen TV in the waiting room where we can watch our dancers from. 9. The Dance Recital Costumes are so cute!!! 10. I see my girls dancing here long term and growing up with their classmates. It's a family environment here. Many if not all of the kids gets along so well. I would definitely recommend En Pointe to my friends and family.
