I debated for a long time whether I was going to post a review for this studio as I'm hoping what…read morehappened to me was an isolated incident and hopefully doesn't represent the studio in its entirety. But I think if potential customers have a choice to pick a teacher then it's in their best interest to know what happened with my daughters former teacher. I am copying and pasting some from my original email to the owner as it's a real time (back then) depiction of what happened. "This message is for the owner. This is ashley and my daughter hazel is enrolled in the cotton candy 2-5year old Saturday class. During today's class, midway through, miss Jennifer picked up my daughter and brought her to the lobby where she ushered her to me exclaiming "I can't do this anymore." I have many thoughts I want to express and I'll do my best to do so in an efficient but clear manner. Of course, her being two years old, she doesn't listen too well just yet but she certainly has a great time at these classes regardless. She doesn't hit any one, bite any one, scream or kick but she does play well with others and especially likes [Another students] company. Her and [student] had a great time today playing in class and I do acknowledge that hazel can be a distraction at times but again she is only 2 and at this age I imagine the classes essential purpose is for fun right now. I felt miss Jennifer kicking hazel out of class was unwarranted. There are more constructive ways of handling these type of things and getting flustered and making one girl leave in this manner (although both girls were having fun) felt targeted. Besides [student] and hazel, the other two girls were still dancing and participating so I'm not sure why it got blown out of proportion like this. I feel disappointed in how the situation was handled entirely. Hazel taking direction is a work in progress and sometimes she has good days and not so good days; but again she is just 2 years old. If the expectation is that the children must follow direction at all times then 2 year olds probably shouldn't be invited to dance. We have come pretty steady to all classes since enrolling, dressed up for the Halloween party, brought snacks and drinks; brought a friend to bring-a-friend to dance week (who ended up enrolling); pretty much we have tried our best to participate And i feel we were treated unfairly and swiftly. At this time do please cancel my daughters enrollment and discontinue further payment. I'm happy to speak with you further if you'd like to call me." The owner seemed sincere in her apology and suggested hazel take a class with a different teacher but I didn't feel comfortable bringing her back there. In fact I found out later from my friend whose girl danced in that class, the teacher Jennifer made it a point to praise the remaining students for listening at the end of class and it was extremely obnoxious.

Did you know that California has an official state dance? Well, we do and it is called West Coast Swing. Once a month there is a West Coast Sing Dance held here at this studio which has a fabulous dance floor. Ask about weekly lessons as I saw signs that indicated they had them. The dance floor here is beautiful and dances well. There were couches and chairs enough for most people to sit when they were't dancing. The restroom was tiny and reached through a narrow twisting hallway all the way in the back but was immaculately clean. The entire front wall of the space is floor to ceiling windows giving people on the street a great view of what is going on inside. I know from the name that there are yoga classes here. There was also a sign on the back wall that indicated that classes were held in a room upstairs by Pole~licious, a Platinum Stages sponsored pole fitness studio. For those who don't know - Platinum Stages are one of the top quality manufacturers of pole dancing poles and supplies in the world. My pole dancing studio back in Bakersfield, Polga Fitness, uses 15 foot spinning poles manufactured by Platinum Stages. We're talking the best, folks! There's a little something for everyone here at Peoples Yoga, Health & Dance whether you're trying to keep your mind, body, or spirit in the best shape. Come on down and check it out!

Also, as a side bonus, they have other events besides fitness such as chess tournaments and poker tournaments where they give the community to hang out and get to know each other.

The dance team and studio director Jami Gobee puts an enormous amount of stress on these dancers and then criticizes them when they can't handle the stress. She refused to allow any medical accommodations that were provided, and repeatedly told us that she knows more as a dancer than our surgical doctor and therefore wouldn't accept the notes!! Instead of allowing accommodations, she made punishing threats and forced my child to take all of her classes when she was injured and sick. With every request, I received a cold and rigid response like the one copied from the other reviewer. Jami and her dance teachers regularly humiliated and ridiculed my child for her anxiety when they were the root cause of that anxiety, and told her that her dancing was getting worse (I wonder why....). Anxiety increased exponentially during her time at Fusion, and dropped almost instantly once we left. Jami told the entire dance team not to talk to us when we left, which speaks volumes to her character. They are all afraid of this woman. I would love to say that this is a good studio, but Jami creates an unhealthy environment for youth that I would not recommend to anyone. So unfortunate and so misguided.
