A true second home for my daughter!…read more This is my daughter's fifth year dancing at West Coast Dance, and I couldn't be more grateful for this studio. She spends over 15 hours a week here and still looks forward to every class! The friendships she's made and the bond she has with her teacher are so special they've helped her grow not just as a dancer, but as a person. She's now in her third year on the dance team, and what really stands out about West Coast Dance is how supportive and down-to-earth the environment is. It's not the ultra-competitive vibe you sometimes find elsewhere, the dancers genuinely cheer each other on, celebrate each other's wins, and lift each other up. If you're looking for a studio where your child can learn excellent technique, feel encouraged, and truly belong, West Coast Dance is it.

AMAZING STUDIO, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!…read more We cannot say enough good things about this studio! West Coast Dance Complex has been the perfect place for our son to nurture his love for dance. A huge shout-out to the incredible instructors! Miss Emily, Miss Dalia and Miss Shelbi have all been amazing with our son. He looks forward to every class and has grown so much under their guidance. Each teacher brings something special to the table and you can see they genuinely care about their students growth, not only in dance but also as individuals. We truly cannot recommend West Coast Dance Complex enough for any child or family looking for a warm, professional and inspiring environment! Thank you WCDC, for making dance such a positive and enriching experience for our son!

He had a cardio hip hop class and it was really crowded! What I like is that Anthony breaks everything down for people of all skill levels. Lots of great energy!

My only complaint is that the AC cannot keep up with the heat that's generated! Yes, this class is fire! Definitely worth checking out classes here! It is a little far for me, but I will definitely be back!

Now we joined our friends at "love to dance". we just started mid year after they hosted one of our girl scout troop meetings (what a great idea for a meeting!) almost like a yelp event =) my daughter resisted strongly when i enrolled her ...but she is loving it!!! the staff and Mindy (owner) are super friendly and helpful...they remember each and every person they meet. That shows me how much they care about the students here. I hope that my daughter continues to take classes here and be comfortable in multiple forms of dance. While my goal is not for my daughter to be a pro dancer...they definitely are pumping some of those out of here too!

My daughters have been taking lessons here for over a year now and I don't know who loves it more:…read morethem or me. The relative new-comer in Carmel Valley dance, Love To Dance has proven that it was able to take all the complaints and kudos from the other studies and make a better product. Mindy, the studio's owner & artistic director is a fantastic teacher and mentor. Craig, the owner & administrator is a breath of fresh air in dealing with business matters. They know what works and are a pleasure to deal with. There is no snottiness and no drama like at other studios. There are no sticks jammed up anyone's butts and the kids aren't treated like dancing cattle in pink tights and toe shoes. It's like a family, but the dancing is taken seriously. It's a comfortable dance studio in a convenient location (right by the Vons shopping center, it's easy to zip in and out for errands during classes). The classes aren't over-filled and the types of classes offered are varied (hip-hop to lyrical to tap to jazz to adult classes, etc). The Annual Dance Concert is by far the most professional I've attended. I guess the most important thing I can say in this review is that all the kids love their classes and their teachers.

While Oh La La appears to have great reviews for group classes, I would NOT recommend them for 1st…read moredance lessons for a wedding. First, I did not find the scheduling/payment process to be professional. We negotiated for a package of 10 lessons for $700.00 (1 per month up until our wedding). Suzie, the owner, asked us to pay this entire amount upfront via Venmo. I informed her that having never met her or the instructor or even set foot in the studio, I did not feel comfortable paying up front via Venmo b/c if they were running some sort of scam, they could run off w/ my money, & I would be SOOL. I said that I would gladly pay up front via credit card b/c if they ran off w/ my money that way, at least I could dispute the charge. To Suzie's credit, she was understanding of this concern, & she allowed me to pay for each lesson, one at a time, 48 hours in advance via Venmo. Thank GOD, I had the foresight to be concerned about this b/c as you will read below, our instructor abandoned us after lesson 4, without ever completing our dance, so if we had paid the $700.00 up front via Venmo, he could have run off w/ our money. My 2nd issue was the lack of organization & professionalism in scheduling. Because we wanted to do 1 lesson per month up until our wedding, we asked our instructor, Mehmet, several times if we could book all of our lessons in advance on the same day of the week each month (e.g., every 2nd Wednesday of every month). Every time we asked this, he just brushed us off & told us to text him whenever we wanted to schedule, which just made a lot of extra work for us to have to text him the week b4 every time we wanted a lesson rather than already having it planned. Next, on our 1st lesson, Mehmet spent several minutes trying to talk us out of the song we picked for our first dance, which frankly, I very much did NOT appreciate as I put great thought into selecting it. Thankfully, I stuck to my guns & did not change the song, & eventually, it won Mehmet over, & even he liked it. Given we purchased 10 lessons, I expected we would spend more than 1 lesson on the basics, but by lesson 2, Mehmet informed us he had decided to be a flight attended again but assured us (1) it would not impact our dance, & (2) we would leave that day w/ the 1st minute of our dance complete (which seemed rushed for lesson 2 of 10). He even offered to fly back for our lessons, but we told him that was NOT necessary, & if he needed to, he could pass us off to another instructor. Lessons 2-4 seemed pretty rushed, & frankly, seemed like we were going to finish our dance way too quickly, with way too many lessons left, but we figured it would be good to have lots to polish the dance. We had lesson 1 in Oct, 2 in Nov, 3 in Dec, & 4 in Jan, but we never ended up having lesson 5 in Feb b/c Mehmet was not responsive to our texts. This could have been resolved had he agreed to see us on a consistent night each month like we originally requested. He finally responded after I followed up 3x & asked if we could do Wed, 3/2. Even though it was a bad night for us (we had my mom's birthday dinner), we said yes b/c it had been so hard to schedule w/ him. It was also a little disappointing that he asked us to send him the video he took of our dance b/c he apparently, forgot the choreography. 1.5 hours before our lesson, he texted us that he was sick & had to cancel. While are 100% glad he would cancel if sick, he said nothing about re-scheduling & merely asked us to call the owner, Suzie. My fiancé called her, & she said Mehmet had told her the choreography for our dance was done! We still have over a minute of our dance left that has not been choreographed!!! My fiancé asked if she could complete the dance, & she said she had too much on her plate to fulfill Mehmet's obligations. While she did offer to try & find someone else to finish the dance, we informed her that we have been so disappointed w/ the whole experience that we would rather go somewhere more professional. Now, we are behind on our scheduled lessons & having to find a new studio. We have a 1st lesson w/ another studio this week, where the lessons will be $15.00 more per lessons, but we are fine w/ paying more for a studio that is more reliable & trustworthy. Long story short, Oh La La seems to have great reviews for group clases for children, but planning a wedding is stressful enough. We thought our dance lessons would be something fun to do together, but thanks to Oh La La, it's turned out to be one of the more stressful parts of wedding planning. For anyone looking for private lessons for a wedding 1st dance, please heed our cautionary tale & go elsewhere! I'm giving 2 stars b/c we mostly like the 2 minutes of choreography we do have but are very disappointed that Mehmet not only lied to us when he promised to complete our dance but then also lied to the owner, Suzie, by telling her he completed our dance when he never did!

My 5 year old Just started going to Ooh La La. She loves dance and had begged me to be a ballerina!…read moreWe did their summer camp and are now taking classes on Mondays and Wednesdays and a part of their competition team, Mini Mob. I was looking for a studio that was welcoming to a child with little dance experience, but still willing to give them a chance and work with them to perform on stage for competition. A competing dance studio said their try outs were demanding and wasn't sure my kid would cut it. They also played music that wasn't very age appropriate. At Ooh La La, the owner's biggest belief is to provide a welcoming place for all. She made all the parents sign a commitment form stating there is no drama at this academy. She said we applaud every dancer's successes and help those who need some extra TLC. It is exactly the right philosophy for how I wanted to introduce my daughter to her first sport. And a couple of weeks in, I already see. The teachers are working with me to help get my daughter her extra TLC and my daughter is learning from older teenage dancers that she thinks are just the most beautiful ballerinas. Thank you for having a great studio!
