It's been a year since I started dancing at Arthur Murray, and I wanted to share an update. What…read morebegan as something fun and new has grown into a really rewarding hobby that I look forward to every week. Over the past year, I've expanded into new dance styles and started focusing on the finer details--like arm styling and hip movement, not just footwork. I've joined the dance team, performed in group showcases, and taken part in coaching lessons with incredible visiting instructors who've given me professional feedback to grow from. When my first instructor, Valerie, moved and transferred to another Arthur Murray studio, I wasn't sure what to expect--but I was left in great hands. Angela, my new main instructor, has been amazing at challenging me and helping me push my limits. I've also taken lessons with Alexia and Nathan, and all three have supported my growth with their unique styles and encouragement. One big milestone this year has been dancing in front of others through demos. It's helped me shake off nerves, have fun with mistakes, and just keep dancing. My confidence has grown immensely--I now step onto the dance floor excited, not anxious. I've even started receiving compliments on my leading and technique, which feels incredibly rewarding. If you're thinking about trying dance, I can't recommend Arthur Murray enough. But here's the key: don't just take a lesson or two--immerse yourself in the full experience. Take lessons weekly, go to group classes, attend the parties. You'll get so much more out of it if you fully embrace the experience.

My youngest who's also in the dance competition team has grown so much, not just as a dancer but the studio has taught her discipline, teamwork and self-confidence. The teachers are amazing and you can tell they love teaching their passion in dancing. Miss. Sabrina, the Jazz teacher is the best, she's always encouraging, supporting and very patient with new dance moves. She pushes her dance team to their fullest potential. We also love Miss. Tajah, Hip Hop teacher, she has the dance energy the dancers feed off of. Everyone in her class always have so much fun. Miss Juju and Teacher AJay- challenges the dancers with fun and unique dance techniques/choreographies. Come check out some the teachers' choreography awards at the studio! And last but not least, Mrs. Margie, the director - throughout the years since we've been there, we've experienced her dedication and commitment to her dancers and the studio. You truly see a dance family growing at JOSDS. Mrs. Margie build special bonds and relationships with her dancers from the start. There are dancers who's been dancing with the studio since they were young dancers and are now older doing dance competitions and are in advance classes. I love seeing my two dancers enjoying and looking forward to their dance classes every week. I definitely see their growth throughout the dance session. So no doubt, I would recommend JuJu OnStage Dance Studio! Go JOSDS!!!

I've been to twenty classes and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon! Elvia is great at not…read moreonly creating classes that are suitable and challenging for all ages, but also mixes regular songs with new ones in order to keep things fresh while you learn routines. Each day of the week challenges you in different ways and Thursdays are for toning! I haven't reached the level where I feel comfortable with the extra toning weights, but as I become more comfortable with the routines I find I'm able to jump and step high, squat lower and add those extra steps to make the dances more challenging. One of the great parts of these classes is that it's a judgment free zone where everyone is ready to have fun and get their sweat on. I have definitely missed a few steps and never feel out of place or discouraged, just pick back up on the next beat and keep going! Elvia also has Herbalife at her location and mixes up a great pre-workout drink as well as some post-workout drinks. Everything I've had has been $6 and they're really filling. A great post work-out meal replacement when you don't want to deal with dinner after class. She offers 9:00am and 6:30pm options and your first class is free! If you're up for something new give it a try and I may see you there!

I rarely leave reviews, but this experience truly broke my heart…read more I enrolled my 3-year-old son in this gymnastics program hoping it would be a positive, welcoming space where he could learn, grow, and interact with other children. My son is autistic, and like any parent, I'm doing everything I can to help him feel included and comfortable in the world. Before starting, I made the staff aware of his needs. Instead of patience or understanding, what we experienced was the complete opposite. The instructors displayed unprofessional and hurtful behavior--making uncomfortable looks, using hand gestures to signal him to go away, and essentially excluding him rather than supporting him. No child should ever be made to feel like they don't belong--especially in a place that's supposed to encourage growth and confidence. Watching this happen to my son was devastating. I understand that not every instructor is trained to work with children who have different needs--but that is exactly why proper training and awareness are so important. If you're going to work with young children, compassion, patience, and inclusivity should be the baseline. I share this so other parents are aware. Every child deserves kindness, respect, and a chance to participate without judgment. I hope this business takes this seriously and invests in educating their staff so no other child or parent has to go through this.

Once payment is made, the level of care and communication drops noticeably. There's little genuine interest in helping students learn or improve--only in upselling services and collecting fees.

I've been looking for a dance studio for a while and was so grateful to find En Pointe. My 5yrs old…read moredaughter went to Summer dance camp and loved it there so much we enrolled her for Ballet, Jazz and Hula for the fall/winter. We also enrolled her 3yrs old sister for Ballet. What sold me on this studio was when I watched Hazel, the owner reminded the children to be respectful of their Team Leaders at Summer dance camp. Ms. Hazel's demeanor is kind, gentle yet firm. You can tell she truly cares about her students and also teaches them good character. The older dancers were also good role models and well mannered. I wanted my girls to be at a place where they can learn to dance in a positive environment and grow with as a family. I can say we've found it here at En Pointe. I also wanted to share my experience with my 3yrs old. For the first 3 or 4 classes, she would cry and would not stay or participate in class without me there. I was thinking about withdrawing her and Hazel understood. She didn't make me feel bad or tried to talk me out of it. Then that next class, my daughter didn't cry and I didn't need to be there. Apparently she found it comforting to dance side by side with Ms. Tiffany. Eventually, Ms. Tiffany would get her back in line with the other dancers but it worked. From then on she went to class and participated and they are practicing for the winter recital now. I love how the instructors connect with each child to build a trusting relationship. Now my daughter gets excited and goes to class even before I tell her to. In summary, I'm giving 5 stars because: 1. Great location 2. Kind, organized Owner always has a smile on her face and very prompt with any emails or texts. 3. Professional and Patient instructors 4. Well mannered older dancers which are good role models for my young children 5. Relax atmosphere for parents and non dancing children in the waiting room 6. Gorgeous studio. Love their glitter wall. 7. I don't know anything about dance or techniques but my girls are learning quick and I see their developments and excited to see their recital this December. 8. Love the big screen TV in the waiting room where we can watch our dancers from. 9. The Dance Recital Costumes are so cute!!! 10. I see my girls dancing here long term and growing up with their classmates. It's a family environment here. Many if not all of the kids gets along so well. I would definitely recommend En Pointe to my friends and family.

We were blessed to find Pacific Ballet and Suzanne welcomed us with open arms! Suzanne has such passion for dance and knows her stuff. She's trained many dancers who have gone on to professional careers and that's mostly what attracted us to this studio. What I love most about Suzanne is while she is very serious about ballet, she has a heart of gold and the best sense of humor! She makes dance fun for my daughter yet at the same time she knows when to tell my daughter to "suck it up" and keep her head held high. Suzanne has wiped tears from my daughter's face when she gets frustrated, she has wildly clapped and hugged my daughter when she perfects her technique...she has been nothing but encouraging, support and loving. If you have a dancer who is serious and passionate about dance technique, this is the place to be. And not just classical ballet but she also offers hip hop workshops, contemporary dance, barre and conditioning and strength classes. We are very happy here and I foresee a wonderful future for my daughter at this studio.

Today was our very first day. We did a trial class in the Creative Movement class, which is for…read more2.5-4yrs old. It was adorable and focused on fun. They stretched, did a few ballet moves (1st, 2nd, 3rd positions and Demi-pliés) and then danced in semi-silly, and semi ballet-like ways. It was adorable! The only thing that surprised me was that the dancers are separated from the parents during class. There is a large window where you can watch, but my child is a little clingy so it was an issue. Luckily, they allowed me to remain in the dance area for her comfort, which I appreciated. Then about halfway through, she needed to go potty. Afterwards, I was able to send her in with the other dancers alone. The parent area is HUGE! There are toys to play with, lots of (comfortable) places to sit, and even cold water and soda on sale ($1.00 each). Also, there are Ballet shoes available to borrow for free if you aren't ready to buy your own, or if your dancer forgot yours. The building doesn't look like much from the outside, but I was super happy with what I found inside. Oh! My $10 trial class fee? It was applied 100% to her first month tuition. ($50) Also, my daughter has a physical disability, and wears a brace on one leg. They didn't even bat an eye. Just asked me about what her limitations were. Highly, highly recommend!

Being on the competitive team was amazing and the best experience as it's super challenging and all the girls really help each other. You have to get selected to be on the team, so if you try your hardest, anyone has a chance. The owners, Janie and Elizabeth, are total sweethearts! The teachers, though I think they've changed a bit in the past couple years, are great! The dances are all creative and have fun music. Recitals are great and all the time that the teachers spend prepping your kids for it is really special. Overall it's a very challenging and positive atmosphere as all the teachers push you to do your best and to give your all. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new studio in the area.
