!WARNING! If you have a daughter with hearing loss please pay attention. I signed up my daughter…read morelast week on Monday 6th, 2023 because I was told she'd be in a 5:45 class for 4-5 by the owner Mr. Edgar Villegas. Sure the class doesn't let you see your kid while they dance (there is a curtain blocking the windows and one mom told they only open it some days which is lowkey kind of creepy) but I gave it the benefit of the doubt because Edgar appeared warm and welcoming that first day even offering my daughter a lollipop. My daughter has prior experience dancing in LA and just recently did wonderful at a recital. I explained all this to Edgar and even showed him a picture of her recieving a medal. My daughter is deaf from one ear but in her class in LA she never had to wear her hearing aide because it was never a problem. The teacher in LA had her in the front row in a small class of six. Unfortunately I wasn't able to go today Monday, 13, 2023 as I was caught up at work and had my mom take her instead. Sadly the nice experience I had BEFORE I paid last Monday was apparently nonexistent today. My mother claimed she witnessed Edgar being rude to my daughter through a crack in the curtain as he measured her with a measuring tape from the middle of her private parts to the top of her shoulder (which I guess is normal for fitting l even though the other teacher in LA knew their size just by eyeing them) and also overhead him talk negatively of my daughter to other parents after the class stating quote "she said she had experience and had danced in another class before but I don't think so she's not ready for a recital...." I wasn't present so I called Edgar and told him what my mom said and he denied it was about my daughter stating he spoke directly to the parent about their kid. I almost believed him but then right after he said he actually wanted to talk to me because he felt my four year old daughter needed to be moved to a class for two year olds because she "doesn't listen" and kept "jumping around." I told Edgar before I paid to sign her up that she's deaf and needed to be in the front of the class to be able hear properly to which he agreed. But today it was a class of thirteen or more kids so my daughter ended up all the way in the back. It's just strange that all of a sudden I confront him about possibly being unprofessional and he suggests this now. I even told Edgar I can just put her hearing aide on for the next class but he still dismissed her saying she'll be better in the other class for two year olds because it is a small class of six but yet again...why didn't he suggest that in the first place until now ? The first day I signed up he told me the class she's currently in would be perfect for her because she's four and because she has prior experience but all of a sudden "she doesn't listen." I finally told him I won't be able to make that class as I get off later than the time it starts but he just suggested MY MOM take her. So I'm just going to try to talk to him or the other owner Alyssa in person tomorrow to make sure they permanently remove my card from the file as I won't be able to attend another class after today. I rather continue to pay more for her classes in LA than have my daughter be treated like a piece of dirt here for her disability.

The staff here are genuinely nice. I am new to the 'dance population'. My daughter has wanted to…read morejoin dance forever, and I suck as a mom, so I barely signed her up this past September. I'm so bummed I didn't start her sooner! She LOVES the class! Now, let me explain my little one. She is really active, loves all sports, hates all dresses. I don't think "girly" has ever been a word to describe my 9 year old daughter. Feisty? Yeah, that one I've heard a few times to describe her... ;) So, when she joined the hip hop class, on the first day I was a bit intimidated by the bling, mini shorts, and hot pink shirts the other girls were wearing, but the instructors do an amazing job of making the girls feel comfortable and have fun. The facility is organized, clean, and inexpensive! ($50 a month for one class) However, I understand dance 'can' get pretty expensive (just like any extracurricular activity), so, I can't speak in terms of the prices for the competition dance classes or costumes.

It's awesome to see an adult dance studio in town. They have a variety of instructors teaching different dance styles of all experience levels. I personally attend their Hip-Hop classes the most. Each time it's a fun experience, the instructors are patient, and it's always a productive learning session. I've had the pleasure of getting to know Alice and the other instructors like Viktor, Vincent, Gimena, and many more. Each are welcoming and always willing to teach when you ask for more help. Book a session and come meet everyone in the ever-growing dance community! I'd love to meet other beginners like myself.
