At pickup, my daughter is joking and laughing with friends not wanting to leave. Nadeen and all the teachers inspire and invigorate their students--highlighting the importance of confidence and believing in themselves--all the while motivating them to do their best and achieve excellence. The choreography and range of technique is amazing. More importantly, the social emotional learning is very special - especially in dance. The recitals are so so well put together, with professional sound, lighting, costume, and choreography, which is surreal considering that it organizes hundreds of kids into so many back-to-back ~3 minute dances. Luna also feels like a space for inclusion whether the kids are rapidly advancing in skills and there to be with friends and have fun. My daughter has done 4 recitals, and I've done 8 (in the adult hip hop class). We've loved every minute and can't recommend it enough!

Okay, as far as I know, it's the only place that offers adult contemporary. Luckily, it's a great class. Adrienne Foley is a beautiful, relevant, and attentive instructor. I am thrilled to have found her class at Zohar. Kristine Elliott's ballet class was challenging and fun. Unfortunately, I'm usually unavailable during her classes. After Adrienne's class on Mondays, a group of flamencos wait to start their class. It's so great to have a studio nearby with several options of dance styles. The studio is down the long drive off of Middlefield and left, once you get to the parking lot. Parking can get hairy at 6pm (parents picking up their kiddos), but if the large lot fills up, there's plenty of street parking.

I jumped at this chance, and am not regretting it. The classes are definitely a bit challenging for someone without any dance background, but the atmosphere is very welcoming: When I was struggling with the choreo, my fellow classmates were very quick to help out and answer questions. The choreos tend to carry over multiple classes, so going consistently is definitely ideal if you're a slower learner. Classes start with a nice warmup, guaranteed to get your blood pumping! There's some emphasis on technique but nothing too crazy or intimidating. I'd strongly recommend these classes as a way to get in shape, whether you're easing back into dance or just beginning. From what I've seen in the daytime classes, the students do tend to be somewhat older (no teens or young adults for the most part, as it's during school/work hours), but there's zero judgment or pressure--I saw a wide range of dance ability in every class and everyone seems to enjoy themselves.

Highly recommend taking any of the classes at Artista. Annaliza is an amazing teacher and will help you to look beautiful and have fun on the dance floor every step on the way.

It's exciting to find a bachata class since my partner is Dominican and I wanted to learn more so I can join him and his family when they dance! :) I think it's a good idea to get Latin dance heels but not necessary at all!

The ballet program is very organized and their art program provides such a creative and unique activities (Especially, their summer camp program is worth the money) as well. I've been keeping all of my daughter's art works since each of them is just absolutely precious. I drive from San Jose just so she can get the highest quality training and experience. I drop off my daughter at the art studio and pick her up at the ballet studio in 2 hours. My daughter was always excited to go there and came back with full of joy. I can tell the teachers there are true educators and wonderful artists. My daughter respects them and I can see how they care about their students and help them to foster love of art. Strongly recommend!

I love the fact that she deeply cares about her students, kids or adults, and she wants to let everyone truly understand and appreciate the beauty of ballet. Her classes focus a lot on the fundamentals which I think is absolutely critical for kids at younger age. Thank you Victoria!

She typically LOVES taking classes (she still does tumbling and art/song classes and looks forward to them). Our ballet/tap classes were held in the studios across El Camino on Oak Grove. This facility is tired and not well maintained. The entire three months we attended class there, the one drinking fountain was broken. I got two different excuses when I told employees. Why not install a free standing water cooler? Each class of 10+ kids and their siblings and parents in the waiting room = a lot of thirsty people. Curiously the viewing window was just big enough for a few of us to compete for space to watch or take pictures. That makes no sense for a children's class- parents are ALWAYS going to want to watch and this set up is not conducive to that at all. There isn't adequate seating and many parents had to sit on the floor or stand for the entire class (that we cannot see). Ridiculous. The school's communication is lacking as well. During the second class they measured her for a costume for recital coming up in May, but didn't say a word to me. A parent that watched them measure and knew about the recital told me afterwards. I asked one of the employees that was there the following week and she said we needed to pay $50 for the costume they were going to get for her and that I should email her for details. Ummm...who are you? What is your email? Why didn't you email US about all of this as we enrolled online? Very sloppy.

Everyone who we interacted with there was so friendly and warm (and knowledgeable). She is had a very positive and encouraging attitude with her students and she makes you feel totally comfortable and excited to be there in the dance studio with her.

First of all, we weren't told the regular teacher would be replaced by a substitute. The substitute was inexperienced and didn't engage my child, who was attending for the first time.

Yet, the teacher ignored my child the entire time, even when it was clear that my child was struggling to understand what was going on.
