    As a parent, finding a single studio that can deeply nurture entirely different facets of your…read morechild's passion is rare. At Westlake School for the Performing Arts (WSPA), my child has trained in ballet, hip hop, and Polynesian dance, and the experience across all three disciplines has been nothing short of transformative. WSPA doesn't just teach steps; they instill an authentic appreciation for the history, discipline, and soul of each distinct dance form. The Foundation of Classical Ballet The ballet program at WSPA is exceptional. The instructors approach the Vaganova method with a level of rigor you'd expect from a professional academy, focusing intently on posture, core strength, and precision. As a mother, what I appreciate most is how they balance high technical expectations with incredible emotional support. My child didn't just learn how to execute a clean turn; they developed the resilience and poise that come from master-level classical training. The Rhythm and Energy of Hip Hop Switching gears from the structure of ballet to the raw energy of hip hop could have been jarring, but WSPA's faculty makes the transition seamless. The hip hop classes are high-octane, culturally grounded, and beautifully current. The choreography is complex and pushes my child's musicality, helping them find their own performance style and groove. It has given them immense confidence, a sharp sense of rhythm, and an outlet for pure, uninhibited self-expression. The Soul and Heritage of Polynesian Dance What truly sets WSPA apart for our family is its stunning Polynesian dance program. It is handled with deep cultural reverence and authenticity, teaching the rich storytelling traditions of the islands alongside the physical technique. Watching my child learn the language of the movements--the grace of the hands, the stamina required for the drumming, and the joy of the community--has been deeply moving. It added a layer of storytelling and soulful connection to their dancing that technique alone could never provide. Why WSPA is a Second Home WSPA manages to be a powerhouse studio without losing its heart. By exposing my child to classical European tradition, modern street dance, and rich cultural heritage all under one roof, they have shaped a versatile, open-minded dancer. The time commitment is intense, and the expectations are high, but the payoff is a child who walks out of the studio with their chin up, completely proud of what their mind and body can achieve.

    My son has been a part of WSPA for three years and started when he turned three. During his time…read morewith Te'Orama, he has learned respect, discipline and the meaning of Ohana. Te'Orama taught him something I couldn't. He enjoys attending class with his boys and asks to extend their time together. The older girls always greeted him even if he was having a bad day. They kept him company when I wasn't around and would update me when they saw me. Thank you, Kumu Uncle Anthony, Auntie Jessica, Auntie Morgan, Auntie Reina, and most of all, his male role models, Uncle Joey and Kuya Ant. No matter how chaotic or stressful things can get, you encourage our children to enjoy the moment. That is something only you can offer and I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You've been the most influential and most valuable part of our lives. Happy 20th anniversary with WPSA, Kumu Uncle Anthony & Te'Orama! My daughter was in the hip hop program and loved her instructors. She had Ms. Nikiya and Mr. Jessie as her instructors for a few years and loved them. She always told me how great they were. My son took Ms. Mel's hip hop when he was four and she is just amazing!

I appreciated that she adjusted her approach based on our timeline. We started with just a few classes, so she focused more on just creating and teaching the choreography. But when we realized we could devote more time, she shifted to working with us on our fundamentals to make the entire thing look much more polished. Highly recommend!

We took a total of 5 dance lessons and we are so happy with the results. Our successful first dance would not have been possible without Genevieve's guidance, patience, and incredible choreography. She started by teaching us the basic fundamental dance steps (ie. rumba, foxtrot, single time swing) and then pieced the steps into a choreographed dance to the song we chose (Harvest Moon by Neil Young). She taught us how to transition from one step to another and provided us with tips on how to be more aligned with each other. This was the first time we've taken dance lessons since we were kids, but Genevieve made us feel comfortable and put us at ease! After every session, she would email us notes so we could review each lesson and practice at home. I highly recommend taking dance lessons with Genevieve, whether it's for your wedding or just for fun! My partner and I really enjoyed our time with Genevieve and are so thankful for her support and guidance. We look forward to further lessons with her in the future! Tips for new clients: I recommend starting your lessons at least a month and a half before your wedding. It would be helpful if you had your first dance song or a few song options chosen before reaching out to Genevieve.

    This is a long overdue review for San Francisco Dance Space. My daughter has been a student there…read morefor 10 years now. We first joined SFDS when my daughter was two years old because we lived in the neighborhood and she wanted to wear a tutu. Fast forward and she is a dedicated dancer with SFDS. Her love of dance and dedication to ballet is due to the dedication, passion and skill of the business owner, Laura and her team. My daughter has landed roles in city-wide dance performances with the education she has had at SFDS. At the end of every year, like most practices, SFDS puts on a performance. This performance is above and beyond anything you wold imagine. I am talking the real deal - the costumes, the props, the whole performance is next level. I also want to add that Ms. Laura (the business owner) is a gem. She is a true teacher in the sense that she is vested in all of the children who attend her program. Recently, SFDS was forced to pivot their approach from in-person sessions to telepractice (due to COVID-19). Almost immediately, classes continued online - they have been excellent and during this crazy time its been something stable in my daughter's life. Thank you SFDS for providing a caring, challenging and fun space for the dancers!

I cannot recommend this studio enough.

After work I would go to ODC on certain days. I've been taking hip hop classes since 2007 at ODC. Almost 100% of the hip hop classes I enrolled are taught my Micaya. What I love about ODC is the studios aren't dark inside. Also the studios are spacious enough where you don't feel cramped. Even though I've taken hip hop classes for almost 20 years at ODC it doesn't feel dated. The one complaint I would make is regards to Studio B, which is where I take hip hop classes. Most of the studios downstairs have wooden floors however upstairs inside Studio B the Marley floor has too much grip or can be sticky. I'm surprised that throughout the years I haven't twisted my ankle or knee. Despite the Marley floor I enjoy taking hip hop classes at ODC.

I was told first that a spot would be offered as an exception but then (and after telling my daughter who was so happy) this offer was rescinded by a different staff member. What is more I was made to feel it was my fault when I was doing nothing wrong. Heartbreaking.

The kids feel proud of their accomplishment. For me, however, this is overshadowed by the very strict policies. You pay for the entire year up front, so you want to make sure your kid will want to do the entire year. The first year we went here, this worked out OK. However, the second year my 7 yr old was not enjoying the class at all--to the point she would leave the class early crying. We were a couple months in at this point (but before winter break or the beginning of performance dance practices). We were told that we could leave the class but would not be entitled to any refund of the tuition (more than half the year at that point). We were also not allowed to try out another class to see if we could find one my child would like better. I felt this was extraordinarily rigid for a 7 year old. To not even work with a family to try and find a better fit in dance class says to me they are not concerned with the dancer's experience. Our only options were to eat the half year tuition, or force our child to continue a class she really did not like. Perhaps this policy is OK for older kids who know what activities they like, but for younger children I find it inappropriate. Parents should also be aware that the kids are required to wear specific clothing to all practices, so there is an additional cost as you need to order specific dance leotards, tights, shoes, etc.

She is absolutely incredible with the little ones. Toddlers aren't always the best at following directions, but Brianna's patience is unmatched. She has a natural way of keeping the class engaged and making sure every child feels included and encouraged. The classes are pure fun--filled with imaginative play and movement that perfectly captures a toddler's attention span. If you are looking for a warm, whimsical, and low-stress introduction to dance, I cannot recommend this location (and Brianna!) highly enough.

For her age group, she's not exactly learning ballet, but it's more of a developmental learning for her age group, and fun activities. They do different things each class, but usually there's a round of bubbles, wands, ribbons, circle time, coloring, story time, stomping, tip toeing, and lots of twirling. The teachers are great (Crystal and Marissa are the ones I've met so far), accepting of kids being kids, especially when they're not having it. I really appreciate their incredible patience! I love the policy for their ballet classes too. You buy monthly subscription, and for every class you can't attend, they will just add it to your makeup session, and you can come attend (choose online) a make up class with your child's age group. So easy! Unlimited classes the first month, which was great. The school itself is pretty clean, and cute. They have a cute store which the occasionally offer discounts for their nicely curated leotards with tutus, and ballet shoes. I ended up just buying some here because they were so much cuter than ones I could find at Target or Amazon. They also have cute little chairs here for the little girls to sit on to help them put on their ballet shoes! Adorable.
