During the month of October, this studio offered a free class almost everyday. My friend told me…read moreabout it and we checked out a few classes. Please keep in mind that this review will be about these classes. I think it's incredibly generous to offer this trial as it allows you to check out several types of dance styles and instructors. They have an app, which I found to be really easy to use. They clearly label which classes are part of the trial and provide confirmation and reminders. The schedule accommodated work schedules and if weekdays were too tight, they had classes on weekends as well. They have 3 studio rooms and they had a person checking people in which could let you know where the class you were taking would be. One studio was large and the other two were about half the size. Each has its own bathroom which was nice. I tried a few Bollywood classes, Latin dance, a barre class and a Tahitian class. While the Bollywood cardio and Latin classes were the most popular, the instructors were all very patient and energetic. The Bollywood cardio class wasn't geared to really teach moves but more for you to follow along as best as you can and hope you get it before the next move. My personal goal is to stay on beat and try to get 60-80% of any class I take which I was easily able to for the classes. There is plenty of parking and the rooms are clean. When I have some discretionary income I'll definitely come back to buy a package so I can keep shaking my groove thang.

This review is long overdue, but honestly, I've been coming to Studio K for years and it's not an…read moreexaggeration to say it's completely changed my life. When I first walked in, I had basically zero dance experience and no idea what to expect. Fast forward to today, and I've not only developed real dance skills, but also a level of confidence I never thought I'd have, and built some amazing friendships along the way. What truly sets Studio K apart is the instructors. Every single one of them is insanely talented, highly trained, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The class variety is another huge highlight. There's always something new to try, and I constantly find myself learning different styles and technique. I'm always leaving class feeling better than when I came. If you're even thinking about trying dance. whether you're a complete beginner like I was or more experienced, Studio K is the place to be!! I can't recommend it enough!!

I trained in a dance academy ballet, jazz, tap, (you name it!) from age 6-18 and after many years have reignited my love for it through MADHOUSE!!!!!!

I am currently streaming the video content which is A++ quality and I hope to make it in to some in-person classes soon!! To say the least, I am a huge fan and forever loyal to their vision. TRY IT, YOU WON"T REGRET IT!

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!

Noe has been an incredible dance instructor from day 1. I walked into the world of dance without…read moreany experience or knowledge, just knowing I wanted to pick up an activity that would be great for both my mental and physical wellbeing. Due to Noe's vast dance knowledge and gift as a fantastic teacher, what started with salsa evolved in learning other latin and ballroom dances as well as bachata and Argentine tango. It has been so much fun to experience different music styles and how they translate to dance, all while learning at a pace I felt comfortable at. He was also able to switch my learning plan when I decided I wanted to take things to the next level and compete in multiple dance styles, which he helped me accomplish and continue to this day. Having a very busy and stressful day job, my lessons and dance in general allow me to escape the everyday, relax my mind and get exercise all in one and has definitely brought out a healthier version of myself. I would highly recommend Noe as your dance instructor, whether you are looking for beginner classes just for fun, are interested in competing or just want to explore other dance styles from what you may already know. 5 stars all around!

You will not be disappointed!

My husband found Creative Dance Theatre 3 years ago when we were looking to move to another studio…read moreafter aging out of the current school. I messaged with the owner and office manager and my child was able to attend a class to see if it was good fit. It was. First year they took tap/ballet and a yoga class. Year 2 was tap/ballet and cheer/pop, year 3 is ballet/contemporary and Acro. They have a wide variety of classes, with varying age groups, offered daily at various times, making it easy to find a class to fit your child's age and schedule. Because it is a small studio, it is a more personalized experience. Class sizes are a reasonable amount, the same teachers teach year to year, the owner and office manager are very responsive to emails (my primary way of communication). The school dance "year" follows SDUSD schedule. Starting in August and finishing in May. The yearly recital is held in May and is optional. If your dancer wants to participate they can, but if they prefer not to do they do not have to and their dance "year" ends at the end of the current payment cycle (end of February). In addition to dance classes during the year, they have added dance camps. They host birthday parties and have a summer session if kids want to dance during the summer. Since the summer classes are a shorter length of time it is a great time to try a type of dance that your dancer may not be as sure of. With that said if your child is at an age where they can do 2 different classes with an age range for example ballet/tap 4-6 years old or ballet/tap 6-9 years old if you start in one class and feel like your child would be a better fit in another you can swap. I think it is dependent upon the teacher agreeing. I feel like when we switched to this studio my child did the younger and older class and the teacher is like "they would be fine in either" so we selected the older aged class. The teachers do a great job of teaching a group of kids with varying experiences. They are patient and explain the dance steps and make recommendations or modifications based on the child. The classes are a stretch, warm up, dance and then dismissal. Since this is a non competitive school each child is met where they are and allowed to learn and grow at their own pace. The other thing, I have enjoyed as well as my child is that while there is an "adult" teacher there is also a "student" teacher. These are usually students who are in high school who also dance at the studio. Many of these student teachers have been dancing at CDT since they were the age of my child! Billing switched last year from monthly to 3 payments spread out at enrollment, November and February. If doing the block payments is an issue if you reach out to the owner and office manager they are very reasonable with finding payment terms that work with your family and budget. If you take multiple classes there is a 10% discount. The dress code is dance wear but they are very flexible in what the kids can wear. No pressure to buy from them or a certain studio. For ballet ( my child is not en pointe) I have ordered leotards and ballet shoes on Amazon. I also ordered tap shoes on Amazon, as at this age the size changes quickly. The studio even keeps a supply of shoes at the studio (usually previous dancers shoes in good condition) so if your child forgets them or maybe in between sizes you can "try before you buy." All of the information about the studio, pricing, classes, attire is found on their website. It is easy to communicate with the owner and office manager. If there was a downside I would say that it is not being able to communicate directly with your child's teacher if they might be absent (due to illness). I typically just email the office manager and owner and ask them to pass along the message but there have been some hiccups this year with some information being communicated and needing a response in one class but nothing was communicated in the other class. It was easily resolved by an email to the owner and office manager, and I understand they are busy managing a lot of teachers, kids, parents etc but it is truly the only compliant I can think of. If you live in the area, have a child in the area I highly recommend checking them out!

The studio has such a positive atmosphere and it's been amazing to watch my dancer grow in both confidence and technique. Miss Shelbi is always so motivating and makes every class exciting. Miss Gabby takes the time to help each dancer improve and always makes them feel supported. Miss Emily brings so much positivity andcreates a fun environment where the kids love to learn. What really stands out is how much the teachers care about their students. They celebrate every accomplishment, big or small and make each dancer feel valued. We are so thankful to be part of the West Coast Dance Complex family and would recommend this studio to anyone looking for great instruction and an encouraging environment!

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.

My friends and I bought tickets to attend a New Year's Eve celebration at this dance studio. The…read moretickets were $99 each that advertised an evening of music, dancing, food, and raffle prizes. What was actually included was dancing, live performances, live singers, buffet, champagne, and a second round of Filipino snacks at midnight. Raffle tickets were sold separately, so it was a bit misleading. This was an older crowd than what we're usually accustomed to, but we made the most out of the evening and ended up having a really great time. I don't know how to ballroom dance, but several of the dance instructors approached me and led me to the dance floor. I think I did a pretty job for a newbie. At the stroke of midnight, we all toasted champagne and danced the night away! I think we ended up leaving around 1am. This was a fun celebration and a great way to ring in the New Year! I may have to come back and sign up for some ballroom lessons!

We bought a Groupon for a wedding first dance lesson and I'm so happy we did, we went with the Groupon as we just weren't exactly sure what we were getting into.

I also didn't know at first they would help us choreograph and teach us how to do the dance to our song!!! we ended up buying a package of 8 classes. Tonight is class 7 and I am sure we will buy a couple more just to be sure we feel comfortable for the big day. I recommend starting early! Also Alvaro is so great with communication and tells us to reach out if we have any questions between the scheduled classes. You don't have to have any experience. All the other instructors seem amazing and friendly as well. You can't go wrong. They also have other classes for specific dance styles as well as social classes. If you haven't sold you yet on getting your first dance lessons here... idk what to tell you! :)
