My daughter has been dancing since she was 2. We moved to Huntington Beach when she was 9 and…read morechecked out several local dance options (there are a lot of great options in the area). We decided on HAD because it has all the things she wanted at the time.(lots of performance opportunities, kind experienced teachers, a friendly dance community, a focus on ballet and proudly stayed away from some of the dubious costume choices one sees at competition studios). I could go on and on about this place,but I will try to be concise. A few notes on why we love this studio still (7 years later and going strong) 1. Safety. They use a defined curriculum (The Cecchetti Method). It may seem slow, but no kid goes up on pointe until they are physically ready. This helps reduce and prevent injury and provides a clear path toward their goals. 2. Quality. As my kid and her friends transitioned into High School, they were all able to succeed at any high school program (academy for performing arts, dance team, ASB), whatever direction they went, the dance foundation they got at HAD paved the way. 3. Options. There are many levels and styles of dance that kids can focus on. They can spend 1 hour a week at HAD or 12. They can aspire to join the studio youth company or become a student demonstrator or just perform in the spring recital. 4. Opportunity. So many of the kids have gone on to prestigious collegiate dance programs, some have pursued successful dance careers at world class dance companies around the world. Some danced in a few shows,gained confidence, learned about taking corrections, hard work and collaboration and took that to the next thing. 5. Community. Most of my kids closest friendships were fostered here. She has some incredible mentors and role models in the teachers and girls who have gone through the program before her. I highly recommend you check Huntington Academy of dance for your child. I believe they offer a free class so check it out to see if it is what you are looking for. Go in and talk to some of the families at the studio or the people at the front desk, they are super helpful!

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.

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.

I have been dancing at Orange County Dance Center for 24 years (starting when I was 5). It was my…read moresecond home for most of my life, and still is. I took tap, jazz and ballet from wonderful teachers who are still my friends. My husband was a professional ballet dancer at the studio. At 29 years old, I'm still taking class in the advanced tap group, and my 12-year-old step-sister has started taking ballet. The ballet program is the best in Orange County, hands down. Terri and Anthony Sellars, the owners of the studio, are former professional dancers. They teach proper technique, which is evidenced by the studio's many awards and trophies from competitions, and have turned out many professional ballerinas over the years, including their son, Chris Sellars, who is a principal dancer at Ballet West. I don't know why anyone would choose any other studio besides OCDC, especially for ballet. When I have kids, they will grow up there just like my husband and I, and all of our siblings, did.

Orange County Song and Dance (OCSD) is an excellent place for your child to learn what it means to…read morebe a performer. A lot of places call themselves a performing arts studio, but few live up to that moniker as well as OCSD. The studio chooses to forgoe the competition circuit in favor of engaging the students in many performing opportunities thoroughout Orange County. The building and location are unassuming. Many may drive by and not give it a second thought. That would be a mistake. The facility consists of a large dance room with a floating wood floor to help reduce injury to the dancers. This large room is big enough to create wonderful production numbers the many students perform in. There is also a medium sized dance room, a small room dedicated to singing classes and a ballet room upstairs. There is a relatively large lobby for waiting, and there is also room for parents to watch classes and rehearsals inside of each room. There is even a small play area for younger children. Parking is sometimes an issue, but with a little patience most people find a way to make ti work. While the parking area is not large, it is private. The staff is top notch. Instructors have made performing arts a part of their life and many have extenstive professional backgrounds. Instruction follows a standard of teaching sound fundamentals in a constructive and nurturing manner. Students are encouraged to perform in front of an auidence as a part of the learning experience. While former students may become instructors at OCSD, this occurs only after graduating from High School and then only after working as an assistant. This ensures that the OCSD standards are upheld at every age level. Students who take classes at OCSD may be invited to become a part of the OCSD Company Kids or they may choose to remain a part of the OCSD Studio Kids family. Either way, students are given an opportunity to learn and grow. Those who become a Company Kid are expected to adhere to a specified set of guidlines that help them to learn what it means to make a committment to a team. It is truly a rewarding experience. Classes are avaialble for all ages and abilities, although it may require some flexibility to find the ideal class. The reason is that OCSD tries to ensure that the instruction matches the needs of the student. Many factors influence when a class can be offered. Those with a flexible schedule will find a class that meets their needs, whether it be in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop or signing. The kids at OCSD can be seen throughout the year performing in venues all over Orange County. When the students reach High School age they are often selected to be a part of some of the top High School performing programs throughout the county. The training they receive at OCSD helps them be successful as performers wherever they go. Whether you are looking for a place for your child to take a few classes just for fun, or looking for more, OCSD is the place to go. We are sure glad we did.
