My husband and I reached out to Soho Dance to get dance lessons for our first dance at our wedding…read more We got assigned Lucia, and it truly was the best thing that could have happened to us. I think we had a total of 6-7 classes, but after the second class, we had the entire routine down - it was all just about perfecting it. Lucia came up with the entire dance, after we expressed our song and vision to her. She even edited the music. She was so friendly, her schedule was so flexible, and she took advantage of each minute of every class. We really lucked out with her. She is so incredibly talented, and it shows. Our wedding was about a month ago and people don't stop talking about our first dance. The choreography was so amazing. It should also be noted that neither myself not my husband are dancers in any way! Thank you Lucia! Do not think twice about using her for your first dance choreography. Our friends are going to use her too!

The thing I love most about there is that they have is tic toes that will teach you the skills and the foundations do dance while still making it fun. I need a balance of technique and fun and they deliver! I have had the esteemed pleasure of working with and competing with many of the instructors, I've learned a multitude of dances, had incredible support and the most fun I've had pretty much anywhere. Dance itself can be almost addictive once you jump in and boy what better place to get those endorphins in while learning than at a place like this? I went from knowing virtually nothing and feeling very overwhelmed (in a good way) about any partner style dance, (I also didn't have a background in other forms of dance) and threw myself in entirely to then be at my first salsa competition a year later. I'm so glad I made that investment. I've warned lifelong friends and memories. They have knowledgeable teachers, kind staff, a wonderful space and always something fun going on. I have worked with the owner, Raul, the amazing Artem, the show stopping Yesenia, the bubbly Deana, the sassy Jackie and many others during my time there. The knowledge and experience I now possess makes me feel comfortable in most dance settings, socially or otherwise. If you're looking for a place to learn and have fun...this is it!

Overall, our experience with Blue Starz was just okay 2.5/3 at most…read more The staff is lovely--very kind, professional, and welcoming--but the value didn't feel aligned with the cost. My daughter attended the acting classes for a while, and ultimately it left something to be desired. Pros: * Friendly, professional staff. * Productions are nicely done * Makeup classes allowed * Clean facility * Convenient parking Cons: * Pricey for what's offered * No proper script book--only printed pages (my daughter now does theater elsewhere and receives full script books) * We never received any instructor feedback about our child's progress * Productions are extremely short--some felt only 15-20 minutes long. Family and friends would comment on why so short. * The fees to participate in the shows and ticket prices for the productions are high considering how brief the shows are I wasn't expecting Broadway level acting classes but did expect a bit more. In the end, it felt more like a money grab than a meaningful learning experience, so we decided to stop attending.

The studio truly went above and beyond, even creating an outdoor stage approved by the city so classes could continue safely. We are so grateful for that commitment. Since 2020, we've experienced a genuine sense of camaraderie and family every step of the way. The owners are incredibly dedicated, always ensuring that each child's experience is purposeful, supportive, and focused on growth. We also love the variety of dance styles offered and the quality of the instructors. They are truly exceptional. Their programs are of award-winning caliber, and the musical theater program is easily one of the best in the city.

My daughter's teacher, Gabby, is very passionate and seems to tailor her instruction based on the child's strengths. My daughter is taking private lessons, so maybe it's not like that in groups, but she seems to be teaching my girl very ambitious and energetic routines right out of the gate, as opposed to my daughter's last teacher who seemed to spend two years on fundamentals and never taught her an actual routine that puts the moves together. This is the thing that finally got my daughter to appreciate all those earlier years. I highly recommend this teacher and studio to anyone with a little one who loves to dance.

We had to switch classes for scheduling reasons and are currently with Miss Emily. She's very engaging with both the students and the parents. She makes sure to keep us all informed about what our little ones are learning, even giving feedback and updates on progress. The customer service has been very top notch too. Most inquiries or requests for rescheduling has been handled quite promptly and without issue. The most recent one being helping a fellow mom take advantage of the "bring a friend to class" promotion the studio was running last month. The studio admin, Sydney, was great and handled everything! We've participated in one recital so far. Sign ups for recitals are optional, so I did not know what to expect, but I certainly didn't think that my daughter was the only one from her class that signed up. My other guess is that not many other girls from that age group signed up either, as she had to perform with just one other student who she didn't know. It was not a long performance, which was to be expected. We're unsure as to why the littlest ones went first, as they set the tone for the rest of their peers, giving the impression that going up on stage has to be a daunting and traumatizing experience. It was my daughter's first time on stage, so I can't say it went fantastically, but I also can't put too much blame on anyone else for that. If anything, it just means she needs to have more classes so she can get better! I can't seem to find out if there are any offers to provide discounts for sibling sign ups, so I hope you guys consider doing something like that in the future!
