Also solid dancing...even as an intermediate dancer, I find myself wanting to dance with everyone because the skill level here is just that good. Plus Larisa Tingle, Anastasia, and Michael are all friendly and kind people who actually care and do their best to make any moment at starlight enjoyable! From hiring some of the best instructors and djs to just having snacks and good vibes in general, Starlight is one of the best dance studios in SD and I honestly can't recommend them enough. 10/10 definitely recommend coming out here to learn and dance west coast swing.

After just one month and multiple classes, I was able to quickly grasp the fundamentals and feel confident on the dance floor. The instructors--David, Jennifer, Alek, and Mary--along with Majesty's team of TAs, are incredibly experienced, patient, and supportive. Most importantly, they make the experience fun. Something I initially thought would be daunting has now become a new part of who I am. They create a welcoming environment for dancers at all levels and genuinely care about helping students improve. I highly recommend Majesty to anyone looking to learn Salsa or Bachata, whether you're brand new or looking to refine your skills.

We absolutely love The Element Dance Studio in La Mesa! Mrs. Sydney has played such a special role…read morein helping my daughter fall in love with dance. When we first tried parent-and-tot classes elsewhere, my daughter felt overwhelmed by all the adults and people in the room. The Element was the only studio we found that offered a class for two-year-olds without parents in the room, so we decided to give it a try--and I'm so glad we did! Mrs. Sydney was incredibly patient as my daughter took her time warming up and becoming comfortable. Even when she was hesitant in class, it was clear that she loved it because she would come home and excitedly show us everything she had learned. These classes aren't just waving ribbons and doing free dance--the children are learning real dance skills and building confidence from a very young age. Mrs. Kai has also been wonderful with my daughter in acro. We are so excited to continue growing with this studio for years to come. As an added bonus, I have even made some wonderful new mom friends! The Element is such a welcoming, positive place, and we feel very lucky to have found it.

Highly recommend starting your kids dance journey here and sticking with it throughout their dance…read moreyears! They sure know what they are doing- turning tiny humans into the most amazing dancers and performers! The kids learn to love dance but actually learn quality technique along the way. My kids completely excelled in dance as soon as we started here. It's amazing to see the growth in their ability and confidence on stage. Not to mention, attending the end of year recital and seeing the bond between teachers and the students who started dancing there as tots and were now graduating as seniors -- it brought tears to everyone's eyes as you could see they had become a true family and they were now on to their next journey! AND the dancers were absolutely incredible! Growing up in dance that is what is most important- an environment where you can build long lasting relationships, feel supported, build confidence and character while perfecting your skill along the way. Element is the place for that!

The studio is spotless and the the owners Nicole and Lauri are outstanding; they know your name, they acknowledge that you are there, they make you feel valued and they start and end the class on time. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY THE OWNERS ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT TEACHING CLASSES AND MAKING EVERYONE FEEL THEY ARE PART OF A HEALTH AND FITNESS COMMUNITY AND ZUMBA IS THEIR PASSION AND THEY ARE NOT DISTRACTED BY WORKING IN OTHER FIELDS. Nicole and Lauri teach many of the classes and they are fresh and ready to teach unlike some of the part-time instructors who work for other fitness and dance centers who drag themselves into the studio after performing work for another company . Nicole and Lauri are not like the part-time or burned out instructors who arrive late, end the session early and often don't seem to want to teach the class, rather they want to be home - and/or any place but teaching Zumba. The Move Fitness and Dance instructors never embarrass the students and, unlike some fitness and dance centers they never yell out corrections to students in front of the class. There are not enough words to express how great the Move Fitness & Dance studio is and if you haven't tried a class - I recommend you do. Excellent job - Nicole and Lauri.

During the month of October, this studio offered a free class almost everyday. My friend told me…read moreabout it and we checked out a few classes. Please keep in mind that this review will be about these classes. I think it's incredibly generous to offer this trial as it allows you to check out several types of dance styles and instructors. They have an app, which I found to be really easy to use. They clearly label which classes are part of the trial and provide confirmation and reminders. The schedule accommodated work schedules and if weekdays were too tight, they had classes on weekends as well. They have 3 studio rooms and they had a person checking people in which could let you know where the class you were taking would be. One studio was large and the other two were about half the size. Each has its own bathroom which was nice. I tried a few Bollywood classes, Latin dance, a barre class and a Tahitian class. While the Bollywood cardio and Latin classes were the most popular, the instructors were all very patient and energetic. The Bollywood cardio class wasn't geared to really teach moves but more for you to follow along as best as you can and hope you get it before the next move. My personal goal is to stay on beat and try to get 60-80% of any class I take which I was easily able to for the classes. There is plenty of parking and the rooms are clean. When I have some discretionary income I'll definitely come back to buy a package so I can keep shaking my groove thang.

This review is long overdue, but honestly, I've been coming to Studio K for years and it's not an…read moreexaggeration to say it's completely changed my life. When I first walked in, I had basically zero dance experience and no idea what to expect. Fast forward to today, and I've not only developed real dance skills, but also a level of confidence I never thought I'd have, and built some amazing friendships along the way. What truly sets Studio K apart is the instructors. Every single one of them is insanely talented, highly trained, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The class variety is another huge highlight. There's always something new to try, and I constantly find myself learning different styles and technique. I'm always leaving class feeling better than when I came. If you're even thinking about trying dance. whether you're a complete beginner like I was or more experienced, Studio K is the place to be!! I can't recommend it enough!!

When contacted requesting the money back since THEY canceled the class, they cited their "no refund" statement not considering this should only be applied in case the client changes their mind. They offered a different date and credit only, I have no interest in nor I can attend and said they're voiding my payment (not refunding and keeping it) as I have no interest in doing business with this type of professional anymore. Just be aware if the class is canceled by them, you are not hearing from them, much less ever seeing your money. It's not the amount: it's the principle. Unprofessional, inappropriate and simply wrong.

The instructor cancelled the class via an Instagram story, but he never notified us directly. I do not use social media, and the if I did, i would not glued to it every day looking for an update on his story. When I requested a refund, his response was incredibly rude. He insisted on giving us credit for a future class that is not even scheduled yet. I said no thank you and explained that I preferred a refund since we were left waiting at the studio with zero notice. When I insisted on my money back, he told me he would just take me off his interest list. The lack of communication was bad enough, but his response to a completely reasonable refund request was entirely unacceptable. I definitely would not recommend. Also, still have not received a refund.

I love that my brain still thinks I can whip out fouettes, when in reality, I'm far from even 50% as flexible as I once was. But finding the right studio is about getting to have fun and dance. I attended a Jazz Funk class at Play Studio and it was so fun! I appreciated that the class was a challenge. This studio is suited for people with dance experience. While there are likely people here training to dance professionally, there are also people who are just here for fun. But, I like that the classes are at a level that create a challenge and keep your brain moving as you move through the choreo. I hate a boring class and this wasn't the least bit boring at all. The class moved quickly! The vibe was good and it feels like there's a nice community here. I love the variety of options they have and I'm excited to try a pom class next. The studio is located on the second floor of the building. Parking in the area is tough. Although the studio has a parking lot, there are very few spots.

I loved all five of my instructors. They balance professionalism, discipline, and an easygoing energy that makes you want to keep coming back. I also made a handful of friends there, which doesn't happen often. My classes in La Mesa were the perfect size, around 5-6 people, so there was plenty of attention and a personalized feel.

They highlight all their dancers and not just keep a spotlight on one. The owners are also very involved and want the best for their dancers, not only performance wise, but also in school and psychosocially. The high-quality training makes this studio a standout for anyone looking to excel in dance while also feeling at home and most importantly, be themselves. Very family oriented and highly recommended!

We were warmly greeted at the door, bought two small glasses of wine for a donation and mingled in the foyer with Zaquia, who also doubles as a yoga teacher at Sculpt Fusion Yoga where I teach. We chatted up some new friends and met some friendly Visionary staff. The performance space is intimate - with chairs set out no larger than six across and only a few rows deep, with the back rows on risers. Performers entered through a curtain at the rear and well-timed lighting in a variety of colors illuminated the performance. The show itself was a modern dance exploration of identity, relationships, connections and misconnections with music that echoed a past Americana that perhaps only existed in our imaginations. I found it visceral, poignant and heartfelt. Chun P. is not really the modern dance type - but he enjoyed it and we're both planning on coming back to Visionary for another show!
