I have tried the Thursday Beginner Ballet and Strength and Stretch classes here. Both are taught by…read moreMacKenzie and she is incredibly patient, kind, and sweet! I do think the Beginner Ballet sessions are on the short side (they are only 45 mins) and as a result are better suited for people looking to refine their technique than complete beginners who need to build foundations. Strength and Stretch is also probably best suited to experienced dancers, as the class has students doing crunches for consecutive minutes with no breaks and going into straddles, side splits, and advanced yoga poses with very little preparation and no modifications (this class is also only 45 mins, so warm up and cool down are quite brief). I would rate my experience as a novice to dance as 3 stars, but more experienced dancers may get more benefit from these particular classes, and it seems the ballroom classes are much more popular and well reviewed. This is a convenient location right off Foothill Expressway with ample parking in the back. There are classes in other dance styles (especially ballroom) almost every day of the week, so I may try those another time.

Not only are the teachers very good, but they also create a very welcoming environment. Most of the group classes are small enough that students can get some individual attention. At the outset, I had no intention of taking private lessons, but one thing led to another and now I'm also taking a weekly private lesson.

They do pack their sold out classes like sardines so I wish they would lower the cap. I'd also say their jazz funk classes tend to be more commercial style. Pricing is a bit higher than other studios in the area. FYI: start with foundation/starter classes if you are completely new to dance!! Their beginner classes are quite fast-paced, even for me as a trained dancer.

Only challenge currently is parking spaces were taken up in the lot by others who rent the building - hence why WB is fundraising to buy their own.

I can only speak to the adult Beginner 1 class and can't comment on the youth program, which seems…read moreto have mixed reviews, but I enjoyed the adult class a lot, as a complete newcomer to ballet. I'll warn that the class is very large (about 30 students) so you should arrive 10-15 mins early if you want to snag a spot near the mirror. The class teaches a lot, but if you are familiar with the 5 positions and basic movements, you will pick it up quickly. Lesson is well structured, with floor sequences built directly on barre exercises. Alexi explains movements well and makes sure to give new students corrections even though the class is large. There is a teaching assistant there who demonstrates movements for those who can't see Alexi (Shannon Hearn; note that Mindbody has the instructor as Alexi Hearn but Alexi Zubiria and Shannon Hearn are the two teachers).

I love how they have so much structure in terms of dress code and hair requirements for class.

Under the expert guidance of Ms. Marina, Ms. Tatiana and the entire dedicated staff, she has progressed tremendously--not just in her technical abilities, but also in her discipline, confidence, and love for ballet. The instruction is rigorous, supportive, and rooted in deep knowledge of classical Vaganova technique. Every teacher truly cares about the students and brings out the best in them. The academy fosters a warm and inspiring environment where dancers are encouraged to work hard and take pride in their progress. If you're looking for a place where your child will be challenged, supported, and trained with excellence, Osipova Ballet Academy is truly one of the best.

They give classes at various locations in Fremont, Cupertino, and Los Altos, so the address above is just one of them. BollyZone gives two type of classes. The BollyCardio classes are a workout / aerobics class on a mix of about 10 different songs, with mat exercises to work your abs as well. In the BollyDance class you will learn more complicated dance moves on a mix of 2-3 songs, with sometimes a small, informal performance for spouses and kids at the end of the quarter. Both classes are given several times a week, and last an hour. I have been going here for several years, and it is great. The teachers are all fabulous, I have learned some great Indian dance songs and moves, and it is OK to make mistakes. This is a fun, informal class for both men and women of all backgrounds.

Mr Garret according to my daughter she really enjoys his classes and his teaching is awesome from these 2 classes, my daughter really enjoys going to Purdance I really recommend it to anyone that is wanting to learn to dance.

I cannot recommend this dance studio for parents looking to lift up young girls…read more My daughter was interested in Kpop dancing, and is in an awkward bubble age of being too old (~10) for the "mini" class and at the cusp of too young for the"Junior" pre-teen class. She definitely isn't a great dancer, but she practices and tries her hardest. This is just a fun class for girls, not elite or comp. Things started off well but then she started leaving with tears in her eyes. She says that the teacher was leaving her out of the routine and so she was sitting around most of the time, not understanding why. No explanation. I urgently asked for a callback to understand the situation. No callback. I asked the teacher, Mr Garret, next week in person. He says she wasn't getting it but he would include her more. I asked him to speak to her about her so she could feel supported and understand and how she can improve. He says he didn't have time to talk to her and said he would next week. He never did. Not excusable. My daughter continued to come back with tears in her eyes. She says that 2 other girls were giggling and laughing when she made a mistake. She didn't want to make a fuss or quit before the performance. The performance came, and she fell behind in the rehearsal. She told me a few days later that everyone laughed at her. She just did box breathing to focus and did great in the performance. It was a proud moment for our family. *I then receive an email saying that she needs to go to the class where she is overaged OR just take the SAME class but on a different day to free up space for a better dance*. Reason: she wasn't dancing well enough; wasn't fitting in socially; the class was "full" and she's kicked out. Wait, she's still being invited to the same skill but on a different day despite being a bad dancer? I was shocked and disappointed. Instead of optimizing for the culture of the class, they instead optimize against the student for not fitting in. She's not a great dancer, but she's young, tried hard, and was trying to fit in even with tears in her eyes every day. We have dropped Purdance with no hesitation and she now uses her experience as her way of being able to hold her breath to perform amidst an unsupportive environment.
