Lina's playful approach helped me to come out of my shell and feel safe enough to sing with all I had. Eventually, after nearly two years of lessons with her, I joined a band as their female vocalist, and Lina continued to work with me- through confidence, tonality, placement, and even helped me perfect the songs I was to sing on stage so I felt comfortable and ready. From all of the different levels of help she gave me, I feel the cost of the lessons was an amazing value. Aside from being an incredible teacher, she's an amazing human being and a true pleasure to see every week. Thank you, Lina!

It's clear that creativity and play-based discovery are at the heart of everything they do. The space is bright, clean, and thoughtfully set up with lots of inviting learning areas.

We've toured several programs, and this one stood out immediately for its warmth, professionalism, and philosophy. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a place that feels like an extension of home -- but with even more opportunities to learn, play, and grow!

I'm her only living child, I recently got married and am in the process of moving out of state all in the midst of my mom's health issues. Stressful is an understatement. We needed a Power of Atty notarized and I knew I wouldn't be able to get my mom to an office and so the search began for a Mobile Notary. I came across Alexandra's website and made an appt. with my packing I believe one of the documents needed was packed away. I began to worry but was assured there was another way to verify this info and the whole process went smoothly.

It wasn't listed on their website but they immediately got back to me and worked with me to make this happen. I got connected to hip hop teacher, Lacy, who let the bride pick the song. Having the bride pick the song to learn a minute or so of fun choreography was the perfect format. I liked how the choreography was both manageable for the beginners and fun for the more advanced dancers. We had such a good time and the bachelorette attendees told me after the weekend ended that the dance class was a bachelorette highlight. It certainly was mine! I also loved seeing the bride sport the biggest smile on her face the entire time. Thanks to SB Dance Arts team for making this happen and to Lacy for being such a fun and good teacher! HIGHLY recommend!

Our youngest daughter has danced at this studio for years. Recently, I witnessed her father…read morebringing recording equipment to rehearsals and filming full performances of other dancers from behind. I documented this and reported it to the studio. Their response? It was "just a parent" filming, and they saw no need to take further action--even refusing to ask parents to only record their own children. In today's world, where recordings of young girls can end up misused online, I expected more awareness and safeguards from the management. A simple policy or announcement would go a long way, but instead, they offered a vague, dismissive response. I find this lack of action concerning and irresponsible. If your priority is your child's safety, I recommend finding a studio that takes it seriously and sets clear boundaries around filming.

From The Independent we learned of the SB Dance Center's $7 dance lesson and practice party afterward and decided to give it a shot. The Center is spacious with a nice-sized lobby for chit-chat, and two generous ballrooms with good fans and nice art. Class was surprisingly well-attended for a rainy Saturday night and we were treated to a Charleston/Lindy Hop lesson. I've been Lindy Hopping since '98 (damn I'm old!) but I appreciated the refresher. Our fellow dancers were from a variety of backgrounds and ages, and all were kind and friendly, exactly the wholesome type you encounter at a swing dance. The instructors did a nice job incorporating the basics for all the beginners and even tossed in a couple of more advanced moves for those of us long-time lindy hoppers. We stayed after for the practice dance, and although it was initially weird getting asked to dance (and asking guys to dance again!) it was super fun and I know Chun P. wouldn't mind. Every Saturday night the Center offers a different type of dance lesson, and I'm looking forward to dropping by for a dance and seeing my new friends on my next trip!
