My son has only been here a week and yet I have to post a review…read more This environment was so immediately supportive and welcoming, and you can tell from the moment you arrive that all the dancers are so thrilled to be here. I took dance for 15 years (many years ago and at another studio) and I was sort of reticent about allowing my son to take dance, even though it's his passion, because I had a very hit or miss experience with dance teachers, many of whom were exceptionally critical. Excelaration is nothing like my own experience, and nothing like you may have seen on certain "reality shows." The teachers here are warm, kind and passionate. The students seem almost hand-picked to be supportive of each other rather than competitive with one another. The facilities are amazing, and the leadership goes out of their way to make the studios inviting (balloon arch and sparkle wall to greet the dancers back after summer? amazing!) But lest you think this studio is all sparkle and no substance, don't be fooled. In just the first week of classes my son has learned two different combos, as well as key components of stretching and technique. Already he's learned more than in an entire year of another dance program. If you're looking for a supportive place where your kid will be accepted for who they are, and will also be challenged to be the best dancer they can be, this is the place for you!

My daughter started dancing at BDA three years ago. It has been transformational for her as a…read moredancer and as a person. She has received outstanding training from incredibly skilled and passionate teachers in an extremely positive, supportive, and professional environment. The artistry and education provided by BDA under the direction of Jason Coosner are exceptional. I can't recommend this studio enough for all dancers - from first-time dancers to those looking for a pre-professional training program!

This is the best dance studio in Los Angeles. Whether your child has serious aspirations or simply…read morejust loves to dance this is by far the best place. The teaching staff brings a wealth of experience to these young dancers and they do so with such a loving way. The foundation of BDA is ballet with which these kids build from in jazz, lyrical, technique, tap, hip hop and acro. If you want to be a ballerina this is the place. If you want to tap or do lyrical this is the place. If you want to dance for fun. This is the place! The focus is on building a well rounded dancer that can take their experience to college or to a professional ballet company or to just have fun! Jason Coosner, the studio Director and main choreographer, has his MFA and has created this academy for all of the right reasons. He is the president of Dance Masters Pacific Coast and also teaches at the Relativity School. His choreography is absolutely beautiful, age appropriate and truly shows off the strengths of each dancer. I can't imagine anyone else choreographing my daughters contemporary solos. His work is award winning. For those that have kids with serious dance aspirations, my 11 year old got accepted to the School of American Ballet CA intensive on full scholarship this summer. It's a pretty big deal. With all of her BDA training, she was able to walk into her classes completely confident, independent and take on the new Balanchine style easily. Many think they have to go to a ballet only school to compete at YAGP or get into a company. Nope! Elyse placed 2nd in contemporary and top 10 in classical and was invited to the NY YAGP Finals this past year at age 10. The beauty of this academy is that she can strive to be a professional ballerina doing ballet along with all of the other dance forms. Dance is joy! I believe if you entrust your kids dance education and experience to Burbank Dance Academy your kids will find that joy and have a love of dance. Oh! And wait until you see the beautiful studio!

Miss Natasha and her instructors are warm, caring and extremely professional. We also had our daughter's 5th birthday party that Miss Natasha so kindly helped us arrange in the main studio. About 20 of our daughter's friends attended. Miss Natasha brought in one of her senior ballerinas to hold a class for the girls. The ballerina also performed a piece from the Nutcracker. Parents and kids were equally thrilled! (see some of the photos we posted) I would highly recommend Media City Dance to any parent considering ballet classes for their kids.

Shortly after, I got another email saying the class was canceled and that I would not be charged. As a new client, I was surprised that no one reached out to explain the situation. When I called to get clarification, the experience was disappointing. The person I spoke with was rude and questioned my availability instead of addressing my concerns. I was also told there are no refunds, only class credit, something that was never clearly explained in the email or communicated proactively. A simple phone call and a more professional, customer-friendly approach would have made a big difference. Unfortunately, this experience left a poor first impression.

Kpop groups have come to surprise dance classes as well. Although many other big-name studios are closer to where I live, this dance studio actually has a parking lot.

I still remember her recital wearing a robot shirt and sunglasses. It was the cutest thing I had ever seen. Over the years, I've taken adult classes and added a few more children into the mix.

The staff and teachers are patient, kind, very loving, and knowledgeable. I love the progress all my kids have made. My 2nd daughter even applied her dance lessons towards a dance project that won 2nd place in a contest. Burbank First Academy has been a memorable experience so far.
