After a year of dance lessons for my youngest daughter I finally have a good understanding of what…read moreGeorgia's school of Dance is all about. Hopefully after reading my review you can make an informed decision to sign up or not. In the end we moved on to a new studio (cheaper price and better communication). But Georgia's still might the right choice for you. One of my biggest fears with any dance studio is when they force girls to dress and dance provocatively like they were in a hip hop music video. I'd say Georgia's is more on the conservative side which was a big plus. If you're new here it can be tough getting pertinent dance studio information. Sue (owner) has no concept of technology and often posts official announcements via poster board on the windows of the studio. Good luck getting info for picture day or info buying the recital video. That's probably one of the main factors for leaving here. The classes are fine and so was the instruction. Tho keep in mind instructors struggle with receiving information from the owner too. The big recital in June. After a year of classes you'll be expecting a proper recital and Georgia's doesn't disappoint. They rent out the Center Stage theater ( California Center of the Arts) for three nights of recitals. A total of 40 different classes put on a performance before a packed house each night. If you're into a big production, Georgia's is the place to go. Notes: - Cash only!?! This is not a liquor store! - Instructors can be let go on a whim.. - No parents allowed. They have a waiting room up front, or chairs in the back alley area but no cameras of the classes like other studios. - While there are some very competitive dancers (and parents) that's not the norm. - The receptionist/ cash collector is just there to collect payment. No vested interest in being enthusiastic about the studio or the customers. - There are additional fees for the recital and a whopping $26 per ticket to watch each night. I'm not suggesting Sue (owner) is making a profit and I suspect she's losing money on the recital. I'm pointing out additional fees you may or may not be made aware of. This also goes back to the lack of communication. So is Georgia's worth it? Look, there's a great recital and most people like this studio. Just know it's far from perfect and the owner refuses to modernize.. So yeah, give it a try for a year..

What can we say other than we love SoCal Dance! Our daughter has been searching for a dance studio…read moreever since her studio closed. It can be challenging to find a dance studio where there's no to minimal favoritism and where it's run professionally. We finally found the perfect studio for our daughter and she is attending her 2nd year now. SoCal is run by a studio owner who really cares about the team culture of the students. She makes the dancers feel like one big family. Pros- 1- Option for Convention and Competition Team. 2- Large new facility. 3- Organized and professional. 4- A wide range of dance classes such as: ballet, pointe, hip hop, jazz, tap, and more. 5- Fair pricing. 6- The studio owner is very involved and is a great support to the dancers. Cons- 1- No novice adult dance classes for moms that are wannabe dancers (like me) :(

They also offer recreational level classes as well as competitive classes. We have been to a few different studios in the area and have really found that North County Academy of Dance has been the perfect fit for them. The instructors are very motivating and friendly. My dancers have really improved in the last year that we have been here. The atmosphere is very positive and the families that hang out in the lobby are very welcoming. We recommend this studio to anyone that is interested in taking their dancing to the next level!

Staff seems stretched too thin and instructors don't seem to always know what's going on have been quick to anger (scold entire classes, shame individuals in front of the class, or send mixed messages) which has been discouraging and stressful to many of the girls even if they aren't the one directly in the firing line. While class prices are reasonable, recital and costume fees are astronomical compared to other studios (especially considering some outfits are sourced through SHEIN are very low cost) and you are still required to purchase specific earrings and makeup- so plan on $300+ per recital... you will also be required to shell out more for tickets to actually see your child perform which could be multiple times over 2-3 days. Also be aware that some of the classes for older girls have had routines and costumes that are not always quite appropriate for someone under 18 and are borderline objectionable- not only uncomfortable for the dancer but also many times for the audience. If you're looking for anything above a basic class for a young beginner, I'd suggest checking out other studios that might be a better fit.

Victoria has been dancing here for 5 years, and Isabel just completed her first year--and both have grown in ways that words can barely capture. The studio has nurtured not only their passion for dance but also instilled in them a deep sense of determination, discipline, and work ethic--all while keeping the experience fun, exciting, and full of joy. The coaching staff is nothing short of amazing: creative, highly educated, and truly invested in each dancer's growth, both as performers and as people. What makes this place even more special is the strong, welcoming community of families. The support, friendships, and shared love for the art of dance create an environment that feels like a second home. We are so thankful to be part of this dance family and can't wait to see where the journey continues to take Victoria and Isabel!

It's a semi-strict environment (in a good way as the children need that) and a true commitment when signing up. But that's due to the company needing to plan for adequate staffing etc) Thanks SDDA

Beware of deceptive business practices. I enrolled my daughter in Rockstar Gymnastics for a couple…read moreof years. While the instructors seemed competent, they were clearly overwhelmed--far too many students per coach, which severely limited individual support unless you paid for private sessions. However, the most troubling experience was financial. I was assured by the owner that the charges for three months (over $300) would be refunded once the Regional Center--whom I was working with--paid for my daughter's sessions. I agreed to pay upfront in good faith, fully expecting the refund once the third party handled the cost. After the Regional Center completed payment, the refund never came. I reached out multiple times over the course of a year, only to receive vague excuses about "budget issues." Eventually, it became clear that the owner had no intention of returning the money. This wasn't a delay--it was a blatant refusal. Holding onto funds that were supposed to be reimbursed feels unethical at best, fraudulent at worst. I cannot in good conscience recommend this gym to any family.
