When she started during the…read morelockdown, it was one of the few activities available that gave young people a positive outlet, helping them stay focused, build skills, and feel a sense of accomplishment. The studio truly went above and beyond, even creating an outdoor stage approved by the city so classes could continue safely. We are so grateful for that commitment. Since 2020, we've experienced a genuine sense of camaraderie and family every step of the way. The owners are incredibly dedicated, always ensuring that each child's experience is purposeful, supportive, and focused on growth. We also love the variety of dance styles offered and the quality of the instructors. They are truly exceptional. Their programs are of award-winning caliber, and the musical theater program is easily one of the best in the city.

My daughter joined and danced for a year with Center Stage. While the instructor was lovely, was…read moredisappointed with the overall management and parent engagement. Rarely was someone at the front desk and when there was, she was usually rather cold and aloof. I sent 5-6 emails over the course of our time, even offering to help out with the recital and never received a response. When I finally emailed to pause our membership for the Summer, it was just cancelled - no questions, no acknowledgement, just stopped charging.

I surprised my boyfriend with salsa dancing lessons for our 3 year anniversary and I couldn't be happier with the entire learning experience.

My husband and I reached out to Soho Dance to get dance lessons for our first dance at our wedding…read more We got assigned Lucia, and it truly was the best thing that could have happened to us. I think we had a total of 6-7 classes, but after the second class, we had the entire routine down - it was all just about perfecting it. Lucia came up with the entire dance, after we expressed our song and vision to her. She even edited the music. She was so friendly, her schedule was so flexible, and she took advantage of each minute of every class. We really lucked out with her. She is so incredibly talented, and it shows. Our wedding was about a month ago and people don't stop talking about our first dance. The choreography was so amazing. It should also be noted that neither myself not my husband are dancers in any way! Thank you Lucia! Do not think twice about using her for your first dance choreography. Our friends are going to use her too!

The thing I love most about there is that they have is tic toes that will teach you the skills and the foundations do dance while still making it fun. I need a balance of technique and fun and they deliver! I have had the esteemed pleasure of working with and competing with many of the instructors, I've learned a multitude of dances, had incredible support and the most fun I've had pretty much anywhere. Dance itself can be almost addictive once you jump in and boy what better place to get those endorphins in while learning than at a place like this? I went from knowing virtually nothing and feeling very overwhelmed (in a good way) about any partner style dance, (I also didn't have a background in other forms of dance) and threw myself in entirely to then be at my first salsa competition a year later. I'm so glad I made that investment. I've warned lifelong friends and memories. They have knowledgeable teachers, kind staff, a wonderful space and always something fun going on. I have worked with the owner, Raul, the amazing Artem, the show stopping Yesenia, the bubbly Deana, the sassy Jackie and many others during my time there. The knowledge and experience I now possess makes me feel comfortable in most dance settings, socially or otherwise. If you're looking for a place to learn and have fun...this is it!

If I could give 10 stars here I would! Our daughter participated in this year's Winter Recital, and…read morethe level of care and kindness of the teachers, staff, and even parent volunteers is something I will forever be so grateful for!! Our daughter is almost 2.5 years old and was very nervous about her very first recital which led to many tears, panicking, and a few other hiccups. Not once did an instructor or staff member leave her side, from standing right next to her on stage and dancing through the whole performance with her, to hugging and caring for her backstage and patiently waiting till I could come get her. The amount of care and encouragement across everyone was incredible and something as a parent you would hope to see happen in these stressful moments. I am so so grateful!! Beyond the recital, the front desk lady (I never remember her name, so sorry!) is always so kind and welcoming, and even more specifically Miss Leila is an outstanding dance teacher, and always kind and welcoming to the girls! We love this place and we're so excited to continue our dance journey!!

Overall, our experience with Blue Starz was just okay 2.5/3 at most…read more The staff is lovely--very kind, professional, and welcoming--but the value didn't feel aligned with the cost. My daughter attended the acting classes for a while, and ultimately it left something to be desired. Pros: * Friendly, professional staff. * Productions are nicely done * Makeup classes allowed * Clean facility * Convenient parking Cons: * Pricey for what's offered * No proper script book--only printed pages (my daughter now does theater elsewhere and receives full script books) * We never received any instructor feedback about our child's progress * Productions are extremely short--some felt only 15-20 minutes long. Family and friends would comment on why so short. * The fees to participate in the shows and ticket prices for the productions are high considering how brief the shows are I wasn't expecting Broadway level acting classes but did expect a bit more. In the end, it felt more like a money grab than a meaningful learning experience, so we decided to stop attending.

I was terrified to even try to develop my voice, and she helped me with skills like proper technique and range exercises.

I'm a better, happier, more content person when I'm taking these lessons. I would recommend Sing For Your Spirit Studio to anyone interested in developing their voice.

After taking lessons from Michelle for almost 7 years, now I can finally sing my favorite songs with confidence, freedom, and artistic expression. Michelle's lesson always centers around the student. She will start with some warmup exercises then guide you through any materials you'd like to sing. She has taught me how to switch between different genres (pop, musical theater, classical), how to properly expand my range, and how to creatively explore styles with my voice. I'm very grateful for having Michelle as my teacher. I'd highly recommend her if you are looking for a voice teacher.

I have read her thesis and also have participated in diverse instances where she taught some Iranian dances. She explains with so much care inviting you to join in an organic way. For me, having a completely different dance background, I felt I could learn and follow under her instruction.
