The class is fast paced and fun, Erika does an amazing job connecting with all the kids. My daughter took classes at the YMCA and she didn't want to dance, but here she loves it. Erika makes dance feel like play, and they end up learning moves and all following along. The best part about the classes is parents can sit in and watch and it's both hilarious and adorable at the same time. I highly recommend SD Dance with me if you are thinking about enrolling your kid in a dance class!

It was our first time taking dance lessons together, and she made the whole experience so much fun. We got to learn some of the basics while also working on a fun choreographed dance. Within just three lessons, we had a dance down that felt like the perfect expression of our relationship and who we are as a couple. Liza also joined us at our wedding reception to lead line dancing, which was such a fun addition to the night! She led our guests in dances to songs like "No Rompas Más Mi Pobre Corazón," along with some Bollywood classics. It was a huge hit and such a great icebreaker for getting everyone out on the dance floor. We're so glad we worked with Liza and would absolutely recommend her!

We were stressed because we only had a few weeks left before our wedding, but they were able to make it work. Liza and mark are amazing choreographers that taught us our full 2 minute dance in 4 sessions. They listened to our song the first day we went in and were able to choreograph 45 seconds on our first lesson off the top of their heads. It's nice having both Liza and Mark there to show us how to do the coupley moves and bounce ideas off each other. They were great at breaking down the dance into easy to digest steps. We are so happy with how our dance turned out. I like that they come up with the entire dance for you but that they are also very open to your ideas too, for example we saw some cute moves on tiktok that they were able to incorporate into our dance. Highly recommend.

The town itself is a nice area, you're not too far from Liberty Station and other pleasant views. As for the studio, the space is reasonable for maybe 20-30 people. I dig the arts on the wall and the general eclecticness. The dance floor was nice and the acoustics were good. It looks crowded but they make it work. Parking - limited parking and then there's street parking. Customer Service - Angel was a good host. Friendly dude! TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Gotta love the arts. Reasonable prices for classes, friendly people, and a great dance floor! Regardless of what your dance level or if you're looking for a dance spot for your group, check out The Dancehouse.

(The music selected was not country-but my perspective is limited because I went to the one class.) I felt the $10 or $12 fee for a trial probably should have been waived. But if your looking for community and to move your body a bit and it is convenient, you might try it out.

Kerri choreographed our first dance and she's amazing! We started with a slow song "can't help fall…read morein love" and transitioned to faster song "sugar" by Maroon 5. My husband and I rarely dance in public. We had 6 lessons with Kerri and she was able to make it super fun and enjoyable. She video taped our lessons and it was very helpful for us to remember the moves when practicing. Since we did 2 songs, Kerri was instrumental in communicating our ideas to the DJ and helped us mix the two songs and precut the music. Kerri is very encouraging and patient. I would absolutely recommend her if you want to make your first dance memorable!

No worries, we said we were flexible and could reschedule. She gave us another date and time. Booked it. That very night of the 2nd appointment, she cancelled again. Double booked, she said. Okay, fine, we gave her the benefit of the doubt, even if she didn't even bother apologizing. We said we can reschedule again. She gave us another Monday night. Booked it. That very night of the THIRD appointment, she cancelled again! No explanation this time. It was a very cold "I know I will lose you as a client but I need to cancel again". No apology again. We were done with her after that. Apparently we had given her 3 too many chances. I understand if emergencies happen such as an ankle sprain, but 3 times in a row? Come on. And normally I wouldn't even bother with a Yelp review, but she always cancelled right on the day of the appointment, she made mistakes that could have been avoided (double booking), and worst of all, she never even apologized!! How unprofessional can you get?? And now we're a little over a month away from our wedding with no dance teacher. Thanks for nothing.

I bought a pack of classes during one of their sales as I was very interested in trying it. First off it's always a little intimidating going to a new work out class but everyone here was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. It is a safe space to express yourself and dance your heart out! All of the instructors I've had so far had amazing energy and shared some great moves that were also easy to follow. I suggest letting the check in person know it's your first class so they can guide you (like borrowing knee pads or grabbing a chair for certain classes). Other than my slight difficulty in finding it and somewhat limited parking (there's a small lot and street parking), I love this place and would highly recommend trying it!

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!

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!
