You start at exactly the time you are suppose to be there at and you end at that exact time, not a second earlier. The service and lessons feel very impersonal and it was not a good vibe to start lessons. Also, you cannot reschedule your appointment if your child is sick or you cannot attend for a reason. You get a online lesson sent to you, not the one on one you paid for. WAA does explain this to us in the beginning, but at the end, this was one of the many reasons we didn't move forward. If you are looking for violin lessons, look for someone that specializes in only that instrument. We did not get that here.

As a mom, I appreciate this studio because the studio follows the Cechetti method and focuses on performances instead of competitions. The end of the year performances, as well as the performing group shows, are very high quality. As with all things though, the studio, the kids and the parents are not perfect. Each situation is so different. However, as you can see by Miss Kimberly's responses to the reviews, she is very professional and cares deeply about the studio and especially the kids. I feel very very fortunate to have found HAD.

This review is long overdue but ha left a lasting impression…read more Enrolled our son through hb sands for dance at Murdy park (age group 3-5) it was our child's first time. He wasn't never left alone (especially with new people : strangers before but we left him there as we were told to wait outside) minutes later, we were told to come in and received a big hug. When he recognized a song, he went back to the dance floor and danced around the kids. The instructor didn't like that and at one point even said he was distracting the other kids (as he wasn't on his colored marked circle space) For a child in the spectrum, this is hard to do. They proceeded with the program NOT including him. I felt so bad for our son that i had tears in my eyes even now as Im typing this. Every child deserves to be seen heard and they WANT to be included. They just beed more TIME AND PATIENCE than neurotypical kids.

4.8 / 5 We…read moreabsolutely love this ballet school and could not have asked for a better first dance experience for our daughter. From the teachers to the overall structure, everything feels thoughtful, supportive, and family-friendly. The Huntington Beach location is fantastic... beautiful, safe, clean, and in a great area. Our daughter attends one of the school's evening ballet classes, which can sometimes be a busy window for family schedules, but it allows both of us to be present and support her. One of the standout aspects is the communication. Being able to easily text and communicate directly with the director has been amazing. Any time we've had a question, comment, or concern, responses have been quick, kind, and helpful. That level of accessibility and care really sets this school apart and gives parents a lot of peace of mind. Miss Nix is truly wonderful. She is patient, kind, direct and fantastic with the girls. Our daughter absolutely adores her, and that relationship alone means everything to us. Another huge plus is the flexibility with makeup classes. Because weekday evenings can be challenging for us, she often attends a morning makeup class later in the week with Miss Rebekah, who is also wonderful. She now happily believes she has "two ballet teachers," which really speaks to how welcoming and consistent the environment is. This December, our daughter participated in her first-ever recital, the Starry Bravo Bash, which she worked so hard toward. The recital participation was optional and very reasonably priced for what was included. A beautiful tutu, leotard, crown, a star plush toy, and a performance video. Monthly tuition and registration fees also feel very fair. I also really appreciated how each week the same choreography was practiced and built upon in preparation for the recital, as well as the online practice video provided on the school's website. Being able to practice at home helped her feel confident and excited. That was such an incredible additional tool. The Bravo Bash event as a whole felt a bit logistically hectic. While we were asked to arrive around 9:50 AM for a 10:00 performance, her class did not perform until close to 11:00. The venue was very tight and crowded, and because all classes performed the same song and choreography, it became a long wait for young children and families. As families left after their child's performance, the audience gradually became smaller, which felt a bit sad for the later-performing students. One thing we especially wish had been possible was a brief moment with her teacher after her very first recital. We brought flowers for Miss Nix and had hoped to take a photo or share a quick moment, but the teachers were continuously rotating between classes for hours. While we fully understand the scale of the event, the personal connection felt a bit lost in the shuffle. In the future, it might be nice if performances could be spread out in a way that allows teachers and students that special moment together.That said, I did love that when it was our class's turn, the first two rows were reserved so families could sit close and watch their children perform, such a thoughtful touch! My only other small, personal preference I would mention is around dress code and overall visual structure. I truly appreciate how relaxed and welcoming the environment is for young children (especially at this age) but at times I found myself wishing for a slightly more consistent, polished appearance. I grew up in a more traditional ballet environment, so this is simply a stylistic preference. When we attended the recital and saw all of the teachers in their matching outfits, it looked so beautiful, professional, and cohesive. That level of presentation really elevated the experience, and it would be lovely to see that same sense of visual structure carried into regular classes as students move up in levels. Our daughter is already excited for the spring recital and asking what comes next. She's even been encouraged to move into a higher-level class, which makes us so proud! Overall, we truly love and adore this school and most definitely recommend them. The teachers are caring, communication is excellent, class times and locations are plentiful, and the pricing feels fair. Our experience with the school itself has been overwhelmingly positive and recommend them to anyone beginning their ballet journey. We're grateful to be part of this dance community and look forward to continuing. We love you Tutu School HB!

Returning to dance as an adult after growing up in the competitive dance world can be extremely intimidating. The studio culture at KRD is incredibly welcoming, and I have made lifelong friends while attending classes. The instruction at KRD can only be described as caring and artistic. The instructors have a deep respect for individual expression and growth. Encouragement is constant, and every class feels intentionally structured to challenge you while still being enjoyable. I always feel supported while taking class. Kelela Rose Dance has truly become a creative home for me, and I am so appreciative of the work done by Kelela and her staff to foster a warm and welcoming environment for dancers returning to the art as adults!

I do not recommend this academy. In February we signed up for our daughter. By then we were a bit…read morelate for the sign up for summer recital so we couldn't. So whenever they practice for the recital my daughter was made to feel very left out. The instructor told my daughter that she can do stretches or do whatever she wanted or join the dance. Fact that the instructor pointed that out made my daughter felt like she didn't belong. Paying for the recital or not, every tuition paying dancer should be part of the routine. They have my credit card in their system and charge automatically every month which in the beginning we appreciated because we didn't have to remember to pay or wait for a bill and all that hassle. However, this academy not once sent out updates or announcements of any kind. I checked my spam/junk mail as well as regular mail. They say they do send email but we never got it. Suddenly tuition increased by $30 this month. Also we just found out there is an annual registration fee although there was no additional need for any type of "re-registration." They just simply charge it every July. The reason it's not a 1 star is because after the issue arises they refunded this month tuition smoothly as we decided to pull my daughter from this academy. And while there my daughter didn't mention other issues aside from feeling excluded from the Moana dance. We got quoted with another academy close by for our daughter where tuition is a lot more reasonable and she will be starting there soon.
