My daughter had never done anything requiring synchronization/timing prior to starting in October. The studio and teachers are kind and very helpful. My daughter is new and not competing - but I don't feel that she is treated any differently. The owner is professional, kind, fair and cares about her dancers, teachers and studio. If you're looking for a place to bring your dancer - look no further!

RACIST!! This past Saturday was the Halloween event at Santee lakes and this center had a vendor…read morethere, during the trunk or treat there were about 3 little girls giving out flyers and handing out candy to EVERY CHILD, smiling, laughing, talking, being friendly. As soon my son went up to them and said trick or treat they immediately ignored him, gave him and myself the dirtiest look & acted as if he was nonexistent!! Even myself included!! And I noticed it's because he wasn't white like all the others that were interacting with those girls handing out flyers. Before we went up to them it was white parents/kids & the energy was there, soon as myself & my son went up to them it was completely different, after we walked away I turned around & they went back to acting friendly to of course other white kids/parents. I was so upset and couldn't believe young girls at that age could be so rude to another child that is a different color than them. I wanted to confront the parents of those girls but it was so hectic and crowded. Very upsetting and shame on those children & parents as well!!

Sharing our experience for other parents of young children…read more My 3-year-old attended her first class, and at the end, every child received a sticker except her. While it may seem small, at this age that kind of exclusion carries meaning, especially on a first day of her very first structured ballet class. I reached out to for clarification, and while I understand standing behind their staff, the owner's response felt more focused on defending the approach than acknowledging my concerns as a parent of a 3-year-old. She also didn't seem to understand that a sticker to a 3 year old signifies belonging/a sense of doing well, and can shape how a child views themselves in a new environment. I understand having structure, but this did not feel developmentally appropriate for such a young age or for my daughters first ever dance experience. A refund was offered, which I appreciate, but overall this was not the right fit for our family. I would strongly encourage other parents to clearly understand expectations and teaching approach beforehand. During our trial class, my daughter participated less and was still encouraged with a sticker, so the inconsistency here is both confusing and concerning. For a program working with very young children, that level of inconsistency and lack of professionalism in both practice and communication is disappointing.

The 3 year old class takes itself so seriously that they will ostracize a child for not…read moreparticipating or listening 100% during their dance class. My child was not given the reward everyone else was given (a sticker) for not fully participating in the beginning of class. She is 3 and this was her first class and the teacher acknowledged that my child listened most of the time. The sticker is not the problem, but when brought up to the director that this odd-man out behavior is not appropriate at this age, she was not empathetic and doubled-down that these are the expectations of this studio. This is not the black swan studio, it's an after school program for 3-year olds. I have pulled my child.

Leila was very supportive and helped my daughter catch up with the rest of the class.

Not worth the time or money. The older woman/owner doesn't know how to deal/teach/interact with young children. She's impatient and demanding. The girls are often confused and distracted (as any toddler in a group of ten normally is) but Layla doesn't seem to understand why they act like their age. It's very disorganized and a lot of the children become distracted due to the uneven flow the "lesson" takes... They're given ribbons for a couple minutes, then taken away, given a ball, then taken away, etc... The lil girls want to be girls and have fun. This is not a "school" for anyone under the age of 20.
