My very shy daughter LOVES this place. Ms. Kat is super sweet and patient with the girls. The recitals are super fun, short and organized. Overall great experience.

2's Ballet/Dance
Eve F.

My daughter has been coming to Creation Station for about a month now and we both LOVE IT! It is seriously one of the cutest things I have seen my daughter do. If you have a girly girly she will love this. Prancing around with other 2 year old dressed similarly in tutus and ballet shoes? So adorable! I wanted to find a studio that would approach teaching dance at an age appropriate level and once we did the free trial lesson here, I knew it was the right fit for us. Child development is taken into account at this studio. Being a dance school, they obviously work on the physical toddler milestones--i.e. standing on one foot, walking backwards, jumping, etc. But in addition to this I've seen them work on social development skills like sharing or turn taking and on language skills by having them stand up and introduce themselves to the group and show off a favorite dance move. Each class follows a pattern so my daughter know what to expect and what is expected of her and she never seems to get bored as they are often changing up the props, themes, music. For example, one week they may be doing a dance with a magic wand in their hand and then another week it's with ribbons tied to their wrists. My daughter has already learned a good amount since starting here. She prances about our home and says terms like "sashay" and talks about the heel and/or ball of her foot when tap dancing on our kitchen floor. Additionally, the staff has been great. Our teacher has been Lisa and she has been very patient even when faced with a large number of rambunctious toddlers in a confined space. Beyond the style of teaching that goes on at the school, I also appreciate the generous make up lesson policy they have here. If you miss a class, you have up to a year or something like that to make it up. The only downside to this studio is that they are located a bit further from my home than I prefer, but we like this place so we're making the drive up.

Toddler & TuTus class

How could you not love a toddler moving around the dance floor saying "Taa Daa!" Ms. Kat is wonderful with the kids and the staff is so nice. They offer a free trial class which is great because it helped determine e if we should commit to signing our daughter for dance class. She was scared and observant during the trial class. We had our second class today and she participated! Come check them out!

Tap train!

As an ex-pro dancer returning recreationally at 52 with an unpredictable schedule, I needed…read moreflexibility. I signed up in April 2025 after being told one enrolled class would allow unlimited drop-ins, with 30-day makeup windows. The teachers, class variety, and student culture are genuinely excellent. The management and policies, however, are another story. Policies grew increasingly restrictive over time -- drop-ins shifted to a text-based reservation system with advance scheduling requirements, an extra $7 fee for makeups, frequent confusion, and eventual pushback. I was repeatedly pressured to enroll in more classes despite being clear about my limitations, and denied access to advanced classes without enrolling in their ballet class, even though I was enrolled in ballet elsewhere. The studio hosts bi-annual showcase performances that some of the classes participate in and the 6-8 weeks prior include rehearsals. Before this month's showcase, I requested makeups for the two prior weeks knowing they'd be rehearsal-focused rather than full instruction. I scheduled 1 makeup and for the 2nd makeup was told other classes I requested were closed -- including a class with only 1-2 students -- and asked to stay after class for a conversation. The pattern made clear this was less about following policy and more about something that was never transparently communicated. Deciding this no longer aligned, I submitted 30 days' notice to unenroll per policy. The owner immediately refunded me and told me not to return -- then in the next message said I was valued and welcome to reenroll anytime. When I received the refund, I noticed my monthly rate had increased without disclosure or receipt. You have to catch it on your credit card statement. Best for students who commit to enrollments, skip makeups, and embrace the showcase model with costume costs -- no flexibility expected. One studio has an uneven, sometimes slippery floor that raises safety concerns.

After seeing an ad in FB I reached out to take a trial class. I spoke with Janell who was very…read morepushy. I was hesitant about giving my money at that time because I was going out of town and wasn't sure when I would be able to take the intro class. Upon returning from my trip I got Covid. I received an email from Janell that my trial week had ended. Of course I was upset because I hadn't taken a class yet. She said: "SDC trials are non-transferrable and non-refundable. Your original trial was scheduled for 3/29. While we typically don't offer transfers, we made a one-time accommodation to shift your start date to 4/15, per your request. We reserved your spaces in classes throughout these two weeks, which closed the spots to other interested dancers. It sounds like our program may not be a great fit for what you're looking for in dance. We wish you all the best in your journey and if in the future you're interested in committing to 12 month program, please reach back out!" This place is a scam.

This review is solely based on my and my daughters experience with Ms. Estee and Fringe Dance…read moreStudio (I'm not one to go on lengthy rants about not having read the waivers and policies). My 9yr old daughter had been asking to join dance for what seems like forever, and I had decided to check out this studio in early 2020. Then COVID hit and we placed all our children's sports on hold. Fast forward to 2021, we couldn't be happier with our choice to join and be a part of the Fringe Studio family. I'm a new dance mom but I did do my research and because my daughter started dancing at an older age - I wanted her to feel comfortable easing into a new sport. Many dance studios were requiring years of experience in ballet before being able to explore other dance styles. Ms. Estee evaluates each student and gives you her honest and professional opinion on your child's abilities. I truly believe she holds each one of her students best interest and gives each student the attention they need to become better! My daughter and our family couldn't be happier! Thank you for all you do, Ms. Estee!

We ultimately selected the studio solely for this seasonal production of "The Nutcracker" However,…read moreour relationship with the studio has come to an end due to various disappointments, and I feel compelled to share my thoughts. In short, my dissatisfaction with Laguna Dance Theatre stems from the owner's unprofessional behavior, profit-driven focus, and focus on presenting a facade of prestige over the welfare and growth of dancers. Recently, my daughter had the unfortunate experience of being taught by Ms. Sherry, the owner, who not only lacks teaching skills but also had a negative impact on my daughter's love for dance. Moreover, the studio's limited class schedule, unreasonable makeup policy, and threats to take on more classes than families can accommodate showcase their lack of concern for their students.The instructors' communication skills were not only inadequate, but also noticeably lacking in professionalism. In addition, it was apparent that their overall teaching competency and abilities were lacking, except for that of Ms. Ellen. Overall, my experience was far from satisfactory and I cannot recommend this studio to anyone looking for a high-quality, professional dance studio that prioritizes their students' development and happiness. There are many exceptional and reputable dance studios in Orange County that prioritize their students' well-being, nurture a passion for dance, and strive to improve their technique, ultimately making Laguna Dance Theatre a regrettable choice. Save yourself the trouble and look for a studio that genuinely values its dancers.

The only reason I took one star off is for their admin side of things (which is important, yes, but…read morethe actual dance side is more important in my opinion.) I enrolled my 5 year old daughter at a very highly rated on Yelp studio called Underground Dance Studio (in Laguna Hills) in June 2020 (during the pandemic) and although the admin side was buttoned up there, I felt the actual dance portion was lacking. The owner is very fun and friendly, and the teacher was very sweet, but when they did their tap "performance", even the teacher wasn't on the beat, which was a bit concerning to me since I'm a music teacher. I also switched for geographical reasons. I'm impressed with Miss Ellen, who teaches the beginner tap/ballet combo classes. She used to be a Rockette and on Broadway and is great with little kids, plus she teaches technique well. We did pay quite bit (over $150) for the Spring Recital held at Servite High in Anaheim (I wished it was closer, but it was the only place they could get) but it was beautifully put together, and I would say worth it in the end.
