My classmates are my best friends and after a long day of work and responsibilities it's nice to take a break from life and be creative in dance. For people wanting to get back into dance after a long break or wanting to start something new then Encore! is the place. You will feel welcome and like you're part of the family. We all build each other up because at the end of the day we are a team of strong dancers developing lifelong connections.

Rize All: Where quiet kids dance!…read more We came in with our nervous, quiet kid who surprised us when he decided to join a hip hop class. Ms. Mona and Julia welcomed him with positivity and kindness, helping him feel comfortable in minutes. As soon as class started, he was grooving! As performance day arrived I feared he would lose confidence but he jumped on stage with a HUGE smile and pride! Rize All isn't just about dance--it's about confidence and pure joy. P.S. If you're on the fence--do it. What have you got to lose?

Our youngest daughter is four and absolutely loves to dance. She went with a friend to an…read moreintroductory class at another studio and loved it. Parking is typically pretty easy to find in the large shopping center they're in. We signed her up for their once a week introduction to dance class. She loved her classmates and instructor and wanted to do their recital in June. The class provided a lot of valuable life lessons. She learned and had several things reiterated: confidence, human kindness, paying attention, respect, responsibility, timeliness, and trying your hardest. Their waiting room is exceptionally small, and they prefer you drop off and pick up your child after class. Unfortunately, that's not realistic for her due to some separation anxiety issues, but we'll continue working on it. Starbucks and Walgreens are both within walking distance for those who are able to drop off their child or children. They sell a variety of ballet and dance apparel and shoes. The recital costumes were reasonably priced and absolutely gorgeous. Tickets were also reasonably priced, and the show was well planned and executed. Our daughter's dance partner bailed on her before the second show, and her instructor Mona helped instill the confidence in her to perform a solo rendition that she did a fantastic job with. She's excited to begin class again in August after soccer is over and to perform again in December's recital.

We are so happy with everything that KAST Academy has to offer! My daughter started taking…read morerecreational classes here at 6 years old, and she fell in love with the teachers and students so much that she went on to complete her first competitive dance season. I'm so happy with our decision to choose KAST Academy as her home away from home. From day one, Ms. Summer and Mr. Keith Turk have been professional, responsive, and have shown us what it's like to be a part of a true community. The other parents were so welcoming, and my daughter went from being shy to feeling so confident in any room she steps into! They offer a great variety of dance styles like hip hop, tap, tech, and contemporary, plus awesome classes like acro, turns & tech, and LA hip hop. Ive even had the pleasure of attending their adult dance classes, and they are planned with different levels in mind. It is so fun, a great way to connect with others, and a perfect way to get your body moving! I can't wait for our future with KAST, and I couldn't recommend this place more!!

Not even just about dance, but about polynesian culture in general. I've danced with other groups before and by far, Makamae has been the only halau I would really consider my second family. For the 3 years I danced there, I always looked forward to seeing my hula sisters every week. I especially like that even though there are different classes and class levels, we learn a lot of the same routines so that come performance time, we can dance together with no hesitation. I also appreciate that each teacher has their own style and are available for 1 on 1 sessions, which is really useful during competition season. They say that those who can't, teach. But I know first hand that Rhea is an amazingly talented dancer (YouTube it!) and we are lucky that she made a commitment to share that with the rest of us.

They teach Tahitian and Hawaiian dancing. Down to the attitude, the teachers and students are soooo relaxed and just want to have fun there. Their prices are amazingly affordable and they have multiple class times throughout the week. The younger classes are separate from the older girls and they have many performances throughout the year to show off their skills. The mirrored dance studio is older but fits the need and price point in order to teach Hula Dancing for any budget!

And the fact that everyone is super supportive and helpful it made stepping out of my comfort zone that much easier! I'd recommend them any day!!

This studio has genuinely become a special place for me…read more I've taken classes with most of the instructors here, and every single one has been welcoming, supportive, and truly focused on their clients. They motivate without pressure and always remind you to slow down, breathe, and surrender to the mat. In a joking way, I tell people that all of them have become my therapists, because somehow they always share the exact words I need at the right time. Over time, I've come to really see and hear the instructors and the heart they put into every class. I appreciate them more than they probably realize. Walking in feels less like going to a workout and more like showing up to see family. What stands out most to me is the awareness of mental health and emotional wellbeing. The way they combine movement, breath, and mindfulness makes each class feel like much more than just a workout. It truly feels like a space to heal. On a personal note, this studio has become an important part of my sobriety journey. The grounding, the sweat, the stillness, and the encouragement have helped me process, reset, and keep choosing healthier paths. I leave feeling clearer, calmer, and supported. If you're looking for a studio that challenges you physically while supporting you as a whole person, this is the place. I'm so grateful I found it. Thank you Carrie, Rodney, Mary, Amy, Lowella, Asnah, Vicky, Vanessa, Ron, Hallie, Lilian, Laura, Lydda, and the rest of the amazing Uplift team. From the bottom of my heart to yours, namaste.

The studio jacket cost didn't include the logo painting fee. I paid $15 for the recital pictures. I got the website link and a password. I need to print pictures by myself. Besides the group photo, my daughter was only in 3 photos (another girl was only in 1). I was told my daughter is not the main character in the recital. That's understandable. But for the same price, main character gets hundreds of photos while we get 3. Is that fair? Be careful of what you say and ask. Since my daughter just started her ballet class, I was considering whether should let her to join the recital. They emailed me that every student will participate (I know another student's parent didn't decide yet). I never had any complaints to the faculty in the studio or through the email. I just asked 2 questions about the recital to the faculty and shared my displeasure with another parent, who in turn complained to the ownership. The next day, my daughter was expelled from the school due to my "rude behavior questioning" and "spreading negative news". I have never had a horrible service like that. I would choose zero star for this studio.

Came here through a guest pass from a friend!…read more I came here to try out the classes and they are very high quality. The 7-day pass that I got from my friend allowed me access to 7 classes. At some point I did receive an email where they extended my pass by two days which was nice. This allowed me to try another 4 classes. Overall, I tried Ride (cycling), Reform, Hot Pilates, Yoga Flow, and their boxing class. The instructors do know how many times you've been to their class based on the roster and they either know or you can tell them it's your first class so they can make sure they watch out for you if you need help. Ride with Becca and Thuy was very fun! The lights and music are so fun. Becca was so kind as to advise us that the "side bars" (seating on the sides) was no fun, so she tried to seat me and my partner together in the main area for the bikes, which she ended up being able to accommodate. My partner and I did end up on the side bars for Thuy's hip hop x kpop ride and it was definitely not as cool, but still fun nontheless, because Thuy had such great energy and she brought these little light sticks for us to have fun with (to keep as a souvenir, as well!) Anyway, Becca was also such a fun instructor! I am impressed that the other gym goers are so good at remembering choreography and following along. I've done Isa's classes for Hot Pilates and Yoga Flow and her instruction is great. I feel very relaxed but also empowered doing her classes. They are done in the Sweat+ room, so it does get warm. A lot of people have yoga towels for their mats and I would say that's a great idea. The main downside of the Sweat+ room is that at the front of the class there are ants...not sure if they have noticed that, hence I knocked a star off. Reform was nice! I had one of the instructors twice and she knew it was my first time so she made sure to keep an eye out for me if I wasn't particularly sure about what to do. It's nice that the instructors walk around the room to help make adjustments. The instructors do vary on difficulty level, so I would say try out multiple instructors to find the one that suits your level. I appreciated that the reform instructors handed out sanitary wipes for us to wipe the equipment down after use. Their boxing class with Jacob was great. His energy is infectious and you can't NOT have fun in there! He was very welcoming and inclusive even though I had some struggles remembering the moves. I would say overall, you would very likely get used to the moves in each of these classes. The instructors are very enthusiastic and care about their members. I would say that the front desk staff have also been very friendly and helpful. Overall, facilities are fairly new and clean. I did also try out their recovery area with the leg compression only, which I believe all of the services in here is for a premium. The other trade off for this gym is that if you want to do the sled push, you would be in the center of the gym where everyone can essentially watch you. I haven't really tried out their equipment but it looks pretty good. Outside of the class rooms, there are areas where you can practice mat exercises. I think I would consider a membership here; the costs are worth it if you are thinking about doing their classes on a regular basis.

Went in there and got pressured to enroll, prices will go up, no free trial, yards, yada. The employees there don't look happy and the reviews about customer service is accurate.
