A true second home for my daughter!…read more This is my daughter's fifth year dancing at West Coast Dance, and I couldn't be more grateful for this studio. She spends over 15 hours a week here and still looks forward to every class! The friendships she's made and the bond she has with her teacher are so special they've helped her grow not just as a dancer, but as a person. She's now in her third year on the dance team, and what really stands out about West Coast Dance is how supportive and down-to-earth the environment is. It's not the ultra-competitive vibe you sometimes find elsewhere, the dancers genuinely cheer each other on, celebrate each other's wins, and lift each other up. If you're looking for a studio where your child can learn excellent technique, feel encouraged, and truly belong, West Coast Dance is it.

AMAZING STUDIO, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!…read more We cannot say enough good things about this studio! West Coast Dance Complex has been the perfect place for our son to nurture his love for dance. A huge shout-out to the incredible instructors! Miss Emily, Miss Dalia and Miss Shelbi have all been amazing with our son. He looks forward to every class and has grown so much under their guidance. Each teacher brings something special to the table and you can see they genuinely care about their students growth, not only in dance but also as individuals. We truly cannot recommend West Coast Dance Complex enough for any child or family looking for a warm, professional and inspiring environment! Thank you WCDC, for making dance such a positive and enriching experience for our son!

My daughters (ages 5 & 9) have attended The Dance Academy with Ms. Francine for the past 3 years…read moreand counting. You can tell that Ms. Francine, Ms. Marisa, Mr. Igor, Ms. Caitlyn, Ms. Victoria, Ms. Clara, Ms. Maddy, Ms. Kaylar, and really ALL the teachers truly care about the well-being of all their students, and the studio feels like family to us. My older daughter has enjoyed the Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) track, while my little one loves the hip hop (thanks Mr. Ethan!) and ballet/jazz classes. I personally love the adult ballet classes (Ms. Caitlyn!) There are a lot of choices for after school activities, but the integrity and professionalism of this studio makes dance my girls' favorite activity. Lastly, The Nutcracker, Spring Performance, and June Show are INCREDIBLE productions, and they really show off each dancer's technique and love of dance!

Our daughters (ages 10 and 7) have been dancing at The Dance Academy Del Mar for several years, and…read moreit's been an incredible experience. The RAD ballet program provides the perfect blend of structure and joy, with Francine masterfully balancing discipline and merit-based achievement while keeping classes fun and engaging. Beyond dance technique, our girls are building genuine confidence and valuable life skills. We've noticed how the grace and poise they're developing at TDA naturally carries over into their academic work and athletic activities. It's a truly motivating environment where both of our daughters are thriving. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend The Dance Academy Del Mar to other families.

I was really happy to find out one of my favorite dance instructors holds classes at Studio FX…read more Anthony has been one of the leading instructors in San Diego for such a long time! He had a cardio hip hop class and it was really crowded! What I like is that Anthony breaks everything down for people of all skill levels. Lots of great energy! The women in the back with me, cause I refuse to be in front, were all fun and supportive! However, my running man at the end was walking! LOL! My only complaint is that the AC cannot keep up with the heat that's generated! Yes, this class is fire! Definitely worth checking out classes here! It is a little far for me, but I will definitely be back!

If I did not check my charges, this would have been monthly ongoing basis. I have called my credit card company to block this merchant and dispute this charge; as the studio does NOT reply back to their emails unless you are a new student or enrolling. Not a happy camper!

They are able to teach the many kids they deal with every day with humor and respect and enable their talent to blossom. Yes, my kids take classes here, and have for years, but it really is a great place. Couldn't believe it wasn't on here yet. NCDA also piloted a program where the families of the studio adopted families from nearby Camp Pendleton for Christmas (Bells of Freedom) several years ago. Last year, two huge UPS trucks and the guys in brown alongside a caravan of families made many underserved servicemen's families holiday a lovely surprise. What NCDA started benefits not only the military families but also the kids from the studio who do all the prep work and hopefully, learn a little about giving back to others. As a note, the studio also offers adult classes, both during the weekday and on evenings, for beginners and beyond. There are families that have both moms and kid(s) dancing at the yearly recital. Cuteness ensues. (Note: I'm not one of those moms).

My daughters have been taking lessons here for over a year now and I don't know who loves it more:…read morethem or me. The relative new-comer in Carmel Valley dance, Love To Dance has proven that it was able to take all the complaints and kudos from the other studies and make a better product. Mindy, the studio's owner & artistic director is a fantastic teacher and mentor. Craig, the owner & administrator is a breath of fresh air in dealing with business matters. They know what works and are a pleasure to deal with. There is no snottiness and no drama like at other studios. There are no sticks jammed up anyone's butts and the kids aren't treated like dancing cattle in pink tights and toe shoes. It's like a family, but the dancing is taken seriously. It's a comfortable dance studio in a convenient location (right by the Vons shopping center, it's easy to zip in and out for errands during classes). The classes aren't over-filled and the types of classes offered are varied (hip-hop to lyrical to tap to jazz to adult classes, etc). The Annual Dance Concert is by far the most professional I've attended. I guess the most important thing I can say in this review is that all the kids love their classes and their teachers.
