This local dance studio is a hidden gem in the perfect location for budding Monterey Park dancers…read moreof all ages! It's so close, convenient and located in a plaza with over a dozen nail salons and a sprinkling of food/drink places. A perfect plaza to kill time for a parent who is waiting for their child that is taking dance classes in these studios. For those who would like to be present as their kid takes class, these studios also have a great seating area to observe the lessons. They have just recently expanded classes for older kids and adults. A great way for the adults to move their bodies, get their groove back on, and burn some calories. To top it off, DanceLA just opened up another studio two doors down to accommodate more classes. The recent open house showcased this beautiful space. This place has friendly, encouraging, and supportive dance teachers who are skilled in teaching students of all ages. There is also ample parking in the adjacent structure. Local, reasonably priced, with friendly, kind, staff members, is a winner in my book. Check this place out! Whether you're a youngster just starting out, a former dancer looking to move again, or an older newbie that wants to move their body for fun, DanceLA is the place for you. Check them out and support local businesses.

I had a very disappointing experience with this dance studio. My daughter attended for about two…read moreweeks, and it quickly became clear that it was not the right fit for her. The commute alone was extremely difficult--about an hour during rush hour traffic--which made getting to class very stressful. When my daughter told me she no longer wanted to continue, I contacted the studio hoping we could come to some kind of reasonable agreement since she had only been enrolled for two weeks. Instead, I was told I was required to give 30 days notice. What was frustrating is that I do not recall signing or even receiving the studio's policies beforehand. In fact, the policies were not sent to me until February 6th, after I had already emailed them on February 2nd about canceling. The most upsetting part of the experience happened during my daughter's last class. She asked what time the class was going to end, and the instructor/director sarcastically told her "bye." My daughter is seven years old, and she came out of the class crying because she felt embarrassed and hurt. No child should be spoken to that way by an adult, especially in a children's activity where kids are supposed to feel supported and encouraged. I understand that studios have policies, but there should also be transparency and some level of understanding when a child has only attended for a short time. Between the lack of clear communication about policies and the way my daughter was treated, this experience was extremely disappointing.

Work with this studio at your own risk. The studio itself is nice but the owner is extremely…read moredifficult to work with. I left some items while practicing at the studio, and reached out to the owner, Laura, to see if anyone found it. They responded immediately and told me they would let me know if anyone saw anything. After this, I reached out for an update each day for 7 days and they effectively ghosted me. I was extremely worried and attempted to contact them over text, email, and DM, seeing as they would not respond to me anywhere and confirm that they had found my items. Because this was an extremely frustrating situation with no resolution from the owner, I left a Google review at the time that this happened, at which point the owner contacted not me, but my coach, and made it extremely clear that they would neither return my items, nor confirm that they even found them, unless I took down my review. Despite making it very clear that these items were important to me and I simply wanted confirmation that they were safe, the owner instead withheld that information and withheld my things from me until I took down an honest review of her business. The studio is not a bad location to dance, but do so at your own risk as the owner does not care about the people who come to their studio, does not communicate, and will go to any length (except being a better business owner) to keep her image.

I discovered Amma Dance just this past January for my 6 year old daughter who loves to dance to…read morebollywood music. My only complaint is that I wish I had discovered it much earlier. Ms Amma and Ms Shayna were incredible teachers. They were nurturing yet firm and they broke the dance moves down to ones that all the kids could follow. I liked their approach. First teach them the dance steps, then focus on perfecting them and teaching them expressions. Then practice....practice...practice.... Also love that they do a big production every year so the kids get the feel of how a show runs....and it ran seamlessly as many people around me in the audience commented. I highly recommend them.

I have wanted my daughter to begin at a very early age where she can enjoy the music and choreography and have no stress about competing with her peers. Ms Shikha has a good heart and she ensures that all of the kids that she teaches feels confident, beautiful and have the skills and potential to dance. Shikha's studio is non competitive but she does have big performances. Yes with the cute costumes, accessories, hair done and glitter. It's very organized and the kids work very hard to prepare themselves for it. It's a very good place to go if you're child is very young or you're just starting out and do not want to feel intimidated or less of a dancer. There's no ballet here but hip hop, so if you want to get your child motivated and to just let loose, be themselves and have fun, this a great place. Most kids (and mine) don't like ballet so we did have to find another place to take lessons. I really hope that Shikha does eventually branch out and can provide more classrooms and styles of dance.

However, I think this year they have changed ownership and unfortunately the quality of the class seems to have gone down.

We actually ended up pulling our daughter from the class. Hopefully they're doing something to improve the situation.

It's hard to rate this place like any other music school or business in the area. Its function (not…read moreits "mission") is to teach arts and music to the community at a very reasonable rate (the community is rather underprivileged and this place is a real gem). So what is it that they offer? It seems like everything under the sun. They have a choir, a folklorico group (I think), and some other public/non-enrolled groups. Quality teachers instruct in instrumental education at a reduced rate for kids, including but not limited to strings, woodwinds (though I see less of them and haven't seen any brass players, but you probably should call to find out), piano and percussion. They are also respected for their voice instruction, as Alison Iraheta from American Idol some seasons ago was instructed here. However, it's not just instrumentation and music that they teach, they also have a drama class and several other seasonal rotating classes. Additionally, one of the most spectacular things about this school is their summer camp program (camp MusArt). The program has some great staff and instructors, and they usually have two months (1 section per month) and a production for each section (a fully staged musical) by the kids. Howe we, last summer they were only able to manage one section because LAUSD has screwed up their schedules with their budget issues forcing kids to go back to school at different times. The last show was the Wizard of Oz, prior to that they've done Mary Poppins, the Lion King, Mulan, West Side Story, etc. every year it's a treat for the kids to participate. Nothing can replace the quality they provide on such a reasonable level. Arts need more support, check out what you can do to help at http://www.lamusart.org
