I have 2 left feet... and so does my fiance. We've been dreading what this means for our 1st dance…read morewhen we get married in a few months. One of my bridesmaids and I started yelping some dance studios and making phone calls. The cheapest we found was $80/1 hour session. Yikes! So I turned to Craigslist and found Monica. She charges SIGNIFICANTLY less. I was of course skeptical, but I thought we can try her for one lesson. If we like her, awesome! We save a ton of money. If we're not learning from her, we'll go ahead and call one of the other studios. So far we've had 2 lessons with Monica, and we're blown away!! She's SO talented as a dance instructor. She somehow got 2 awkward human beings such as my fiance and myself to dance AND ENJOY IT! =O ! As you'll soon learn if you come out to Monica's place, she has a heart of gold. Her little studio is filled with art pieces. It turns out, she runs a non-profit organization that promotes fine art among the underserved youth of Los Angeles. In summary, if you're looking for a crash course on dancing, like to save money, and promote the arts for underserved kids, give Monica a call.

Alexis is such an amazing teacher for both new and experienced dancers!…read more Coming from a dance background, I appreciate her taking the team to actually teach you the technique, instead of just choreography (although we have plenty of that too!) Also, everyone in class is super welcoming and friendly. It's been awesome growing and learning with everyone the past year. Came for the dance, and got community too! Erik is the assistant teacher, and he gives great advice for leading. Followers will also learn what proper leading should feel like.

I didn't know what to expect, but what I have found so far is exuberance, joy, and passion. Alexis is a masterful teacher and she breaks down the technical components into manageable parts for a beginner, while keeping the classes fresh with various "shines" to incorporate. The studio is warm and welcoming, as are all the other students. And there is street parking!

Diaz Studio of Dance is truly something special. Our daughter has been dancing at Diaz since she…read morewas 4, and watching her grow within this community has been a gift. The Diaz sisters are an incredible team. They are professional, warm, and deeply committed. They manage to know every child's name almost immediately and have such a natural ability to make kids feel comfortable, safe and welcomed from the moment they walk through the door. You can feel how much they care about their dancers. Our daughter has thrived under their direction. She has developed so much as a dancer, but more importantly, she has developed a genuine love for dance and a confidence that extends far beyond the studio. I highly recommend Diaz Studio of Dance. Whether you or your child are brand new to dance or have been dancing for years, this is a wonderful community to be part of.

I don't recommend this place to any parent that has multiple children!!! I have enroll my daughter…read moreto Diaz studio of dance, for the Ballet/Tap class 4 to 5 years old. As any parent knows, sometime things happen, and my daughter got a cold, so off course I didn't took her to attend her class. However, when I email to try to schedule a MAKE UP CLASS, they said it the only availability was the Saturday class at 9am and parent participation on that class was mandatory!! I didn't understand why I had to participate on that class since I don't have to participate on the classes that she actually takes it, Also I tried to explain that I have a 14 month old boy and would be impossible for me to do any participation at that class since I have to watch my son as well!! Later I found it, that the makeup class they were offering was a toddler class, Ballet/Tap 2 to 3 years old. WHAT A JOKE!!! My daughter is 5 going on almost 6 years old, and they want her to dance with 2 years old???? Also they want to obligate me to participate in the class? they want to make me pay for my 14 month old BOY, to do ballet-Tap dance on that day so my daughter could do the class which was not at all the class that I have paid the tuition for!!! Let me give you an example, if you miss a math class on 6 grade but the school offer you a make up class math from third grade??? Is that make sense??? Get my point ? Well they didn't !!!! when I called and tried to explain this, the UNPROFESSIONAL EMPLOYEE from this facility was extremely rude, didn't even let me talk, and hang up the phone on my face!!!! FOR WHAT??? So I kept calling, and they completely tried to reverse the whole situation, saying that I was the rude one and that the made a decision to cancel my daughter our contract ( which I'm glad!!!! ) but it wasn't fair, first because how I CAN BE RUDE, IF YOUR EMPLOYEE DIDNT EVEN LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT I WAS TRYING TO SAY!???? instead she just kept yelling on the phone, shutting me off and just repeating THIS IS THE "POLICY" !!! Literally not letting me talk at all, and like a child having a tantrum she choose to hang up the phone on my face!!!! I was chocked!!!! An hour later they wrote that I "violate their POLICY," and I was treating their employee what A LIE!!!! The Main reason why I'm writing this review is to ALLERT any person that is thinking of signing up they children to this facility, they wrote on they their email the stand up for their employees . Well I STAND UP FOR PARENTS, like me that don't deserve to be treated this way and don't want my child to be surround of this kind of people that works on your studio!!! ATTENTION PARENTS: BE CAUTIOUS BEFORE SIGNING YOUR CHILD HERE FOR CLASSES, keep in mind , if your kid gets a cold and you keep your child home to prevent others from getting sick, when you tried to get the make up class they will offer you a "BABY CLASS" regardless your child age and if you complain they will treat you like trash!!! LOS ANGELES IS FULL OF GREAT DANCE STUDIOS with nice, kind people !! Some things happens for a reason and the only positive out of all of this is that my FAMILY WONT BE NEAR THIS PLACE EVER again!!! Do yourself a favor and research their POLICY THAT ONLY BENEFIT THEMSELVES BEFORE WAISTING YOUR TIME AND MONEY!!!!

I've joined other academies in the past but the way Alexis breaks things down is special. She's pure talent. You can feel that dance is an extension of her and not just something she does for work. I don't know how to explain it but I guess if you know you know. I danced with a bigger school way back and all I remember is feeling pressured to improve. The director was so obsessed with pushing us to do performance teams when I couldn't even use their moves in socials! It's all fun until they keep pushing you to spend more on their irrelevant programs. Anyway.... With Alexis, while she also challenges me, I don't feel forced at all. She's just incredible. I also love that I'm less conscious about myself now. Even my friends tell me I talk with confidence too. I move on a whole different level, on and off the dance floor. Seriously, you wouldn't recognize me at all. I call that the LASBDA effect Hope to be back soon after my knee heals!

A Heartfelt Thank You to Miss Alice and Her Incredible Team…read moreMy daughter, now 11 years old, has been taking weekly classes with Miss Alice and her amazing instructors since she was just four. When she first began, she was incredibly shy--so much so that she wouldn't even go up on stage with the other children. In those early months, I found myself dancing alongside her, offering reassurance, and to my surprise, the teachers welcomed it with open arms. Looking back, I am beyond grateful for the community that Miss Alice has built, the friendships my daughter has made, and most of all, the confidence and love for dance that have blossomed within her. This program has not only taught her dance but has instilled in her a sense of camaraderie, resilience, and self-assurance that extends far beyond the studio. Each year, Miss Alice organizes an end-of-year performance, which used to take place at the Topanga Community Center, where the space would overflow with excited families and supportive friends. Seeing children as young as two years old all the way to teenagers performing with such joy and confidence in front of an audience is a true testament to the nurturing and encouraging environment Alice and her instructors create. When the pandemic struck, Alice didn't miss a beat--quickly transitioning classes to Zoom and later holding them in a park. Her dedication to these children and her unwavering passion for dance never wavered, and for that, I have the utmost respect for her and her company, Dance with Miss Alice. For the past three years, my daughter has also had the incredible opportunity to participate in Miss Alice's "Dance the Dream" classes, which prepare students to dance in the Disneyland parade. Words cannot fully express the pride and joy she feels at the end of that magical day--and as parents, we feel it just as deeply. I look forward to watching my daughter continue dancing with Miss Alice for many years to come. And when the day comes that she "ages out" of these classes, I know she will carry with her so much more than just dance skills--she will take with her: A lifelong love for dance and music The confidence to perform in front of large crowds The ability to speak, move, and express herself with grace And the camaraderie that comes from working together toward something beautiful From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Alice. You have given my daughter--and so many others--a gift that will last a lifetime.

It was sort of a world I left behind and was always nervous about getting back into it since I've definitely lost some of my flexibility and technique. After 6 years without a proper class, something compelled me to check out this studio and take their disco class yesterday and, boy, am I glad I did. The teacher, Rose, was so welcoming and her energy was infectious. There was no fear of judgement, just good vibes. Her goal was for everyone to just have fun and get moving, which was exactly the energy I was looking for after such a long hiatus. She made sure to answer everyone's questions and was so encouraging to every single person that showed up. I cannot recommend this studio enough if you are looking for a judgement free dance class and to break a bit of a sweat. Will absolutely be going back. Thanks for helping me break my dry spell :)
