Ms Geraldine is truly the best and my very first ballet teacher. I started ballet at 41 years old…read moreand was honestly nervous and intimidated to try. But deep down, I still remembered the little 8 year old girl who dreamed of becoming a ballerina, yet never had the chance or confidence to begin. Thirty three years later, I finally walked into an absolute beginner ballet class, and it became one of the best decisions of my life. Now I take both Absolute Beginner and Beginner classes, and I cannot recommend Geraldine enough. She teaches with so much grace, kindness, and care. Her strong classical RAD foundation, attention to proper technique, and focus on injury prevention made me feel safe and supported as an adult beginner. She beautifully teaches all ages, from young children to seniors. Going to her studio is now one of my favorite parts of the week. It feels like meditation, a brain exercise, muscle building, and posture training all at once. A beautiful teacher and human being who helped me rediscover a dream I thought had passed me by

My almost 3 year old daughter and I regularly attended the Mommy & Me ballet class on Saturday…read moremornings with Ms. Emily and it was one of the highlights of our week. Ms. Emily has the biggest heart and is a complete natural at interacting with children so young. At the beginning of the session, when my daughter had just turned 2, she had a lot of trouble focusing on her teacher and following instructions - which I learned is completely okay. Over time, her ability to focus improved and she would look forward to her ballet and tap class every weekend. Her favorite part was when Ms. Emily would give a sticker or glitter at the end of class. I loved watching how happy she was in class and how much she talked about it afterwards. Sadly, due to the COVID situation, the studio has been closed for the last two months and our routine has been disrupted. We're really hopeful that the situation improves in Los Angeles and we can find a way to have the class back in a safe way. We can't wait to be back! P.S. Funny story.. I was SO excited to put my (then) 2 year old in a mommy & me ballet class that I read the class instructions very carefully... the dress code was fairly specific (a certain color leotard, tights, ballet slippers etc). So I thought the moms were supposed to dress up just like their daughters. First class ever, I showed up in full leotard and tights to dance with my girl! After that, I realized the moms come in regular clothes so I was careful to dress appropriately from then on. Just a tip for other moms enrolling in the mommy & me class!

Artistico School of Dance is the newest business to flourish in the Westchester community that has…read moresomething for everyone young and young at heart! My girls have been enrolled in Artistico for a few months now mostly doing ballet and tap...the sort of dance they primarily enjoy doing. Now they're showing interest in Hip Hop, Contemporary AND Salsa! The fact that they are willing to even try these new things tells me that it must be coming from their teachers. I think it's brilliant that kids especially can be motivated to get out of their comfort zone and try new dance moves. Heck, learning a variety of dance styles has to be better than staying glued to a devices during their down time yeah!? At any rate...I completely and wholeheartedly recommend that put on your dancing shoes (some classes ya dont even need any) and stop by Artistico School of Dance. You and or your child will learn some new things and possibly gain a friend or two to boot!

Words cannot express my love for DC Dance, Ms. Diane and all her wonderful teachers. We have been…read moreat DC Dance for about 8 years and love it! My daughter started by taking a couple of classes and is now a company member. The love and appreciation of dance is at the heart of every class and in every instructor. A wonderful supportive staff and the girls who attend couldn't be lovelier. Along with the discipline of dance the girls are taught a focus that applies to all areas of their life. Dc Dance is my daughters safe haven when other areas of life get hectic. Everyone at DC makes her feel less bed, accepted and welcome at all times. If you are trying to choose a dance studio look no further than DC Dance and Diane Collins.

The small class sizes are great because I feel like each student gets more attention in class. The reason I've progressed so much is because of these amazing teachers.

Both studios are fantastic - they foster a love of dance for the students and have a way with being both firm but fun in all classes. The instructors are extremely talented, kind, and do a great job managing both the young dancers and the parents. There are so many places you can enroll young girls for dance in West LA, but I think CCAB is a true ballet school; focusing on fundamentals and helping students who are really passionate about dance to grow! Michelle especially is an incredible business owner - she knows all of the students, all of the parents, manages two studios with two recitals twice a year and is extremely organized for all paperwork, billing, schedules, which we know isn't always the case for kid's activities.

This dance studio is a true gem of Santa Monica!!! My now-husband and I came here about one month…read morebefore our wedding in need of dance lessons. Realistically, we had about 2.5 weeks to learn a routine given our travel plans. At no point during our first (or subsequent) visits were we made to feel stressed or ill-prepared given our truncated timeline, which I greatly appreciated. We were assured that 4 lessons would be plenty to get us first dance ready and these promises were fulfilled! Di was our instructor and we absolutely adored working with her - she is very in tune with people and knows how to explain things in multiple ways for different types of learners. We felt so comfortable and confident by our wedding day and our first dance went extremely smoothly! We cannot thank Di and Arthur Murray enough for giving us such a wonderful experience!! In fact, we had so much fun working with Di that we decided to purchase additional lessons for country swing - we can't wait to be back for these lessons! If you're looking to get into dancing for any reason, including your first dance, look no further!

The owner is horrible and she did some psychological damages to my daughter…read more She made my daughter feel unwanted and she couldn't stop crying. I had to comfort her because she was really down, sad, and crying. The owner Stephanie literally blocked my daughter with her arm and told her that she cannot play anymore and that she had to leave. My daughter really loves Jaime's camp and Jamie the instructor. But the owner did not let my daughter play with her anymore. She said it's time for you to go! You need to leave now! Do you know what psychological damages that does to a child. And Her reasoning was: 1. because she has been in here too long and she is too young. (Yet my child is 2 years and 9 months and was approved to be there for the 3 - 6 year old camp by Jamie) the instructor) 2. Because she was too much and there are so many kids to take care of that she can't pay attention to one. If she complains about too many kids to take care of, then why even accept too many kids in the first place. The place is indoors and so small and Stephanie cannot handle stress. She literally breaks down like almost crying. I even was startled by her behavior I couldn't believe it. I was just stunned. If you are planning to leave your kid here just remember that they probably won't be watched.
