Jenna, the owner, is a graceful and enthusiastic instructor, and also an incredibly responsive and diligent administrator. She manages the studio with great care and professionalism, communicating quickly, paying attention to details, and always going above and beyond for her students and their families. Most importantly, my daughter loves dancing at Just Dance Academy. Her instructors have been outstanding, and the performances we've been a part of have been fun, innovative, and inspiring. The classes bring her immense joy, confidence, and excitement. We are so grateful to be part of such a nurturing, well-run, and inspiring dance community.

My daughter started in 5th grade when we moved to Marin, with only one year of dance under her belt. Today as a 7th grader, she does Jazz, Ballet, HipHop, Contemporary, and Competition Team. She is learning creativity, resilience, artistry, and commitment -- dance has boosted her body confidence and helped her make a bunch of new friends in our new community. And then there's the shows (oh, the SHOWS!)...the winter show and spring shows are incredible! High production value and absolutely incredible choreography. Jenna and all of the teachers create a warm, welcoming, encouraging, and inclusive environment for all abilities and interest areas. Highly recommend!!

They are both awesome instructors with a lot of energy and positivity, and they come up with new routines regularly. It doesn't even feel like exercise- way better than running on a treadmill! They also have TRX and circuit conditioning classes on the schedule, which I've been taking to tone up my arms and abs. I've taken other HIIT classes elsewhere but feel the most comfortable here, with supportive and encouraging instructors!

I've been training with Paola for years and give her the highest ratings. Her workouts - both…read moreprivate lessons and group classes - are fun, full of energy, and effective. Paola loves what she does and it shows in all aspects of her business. She is constantly improving herself by getting new certifications or new training. She greets each person who walks through her door and makes them feel welcome from the first class. And she keeps her studio clean, bright, and cheery. She really knows her stuff and is great at tailoring moves to work with limitations and injuries. She incorporates new routines and new ideas in her class all the time. And she just loves to help clients reach their physical fitness goals. Like I said, I cannot recommend her enough! Try one of her classes and see for yourself!

Suzie is a gem. I am a 57-year old guy from Kentfield and finally took it upon myself to learn how…read moreto dance. Wanted to do it to be closer to my girlfriend who loves dancing. Suzie was so welcoming and supportive. I now call her my "dance therapist." She had me dancing in 1 session and really feeling comfortable in 2 lessons. Not kidding here folks. I was a VERY reluctant dancer. I actually had tons of fun dancing at a friend's 60th birthday party and then a couple weeks later at a wedding. Mission Accomplished and much future joy to be had. Suzie - you are truly a special person and instructor. Thanks for your support and talents in getting this guy up on the dance floor. And I'm not done. I plan to keep taking lessons with Suzie on an ongoing basis about 2 times per month. Why stop now?!

Suzie is absolutely incredible! My partner and I were looking for someone to choreograph and teach…read moreus our wedding dance to a specific song. We are not doing any other dancing the day of our wedding except for our first dance, so we really were looking for something that could be specific to the song, and a routine that we'd remember for years to come. We've been dancing country line for years, but haven't really done a whole lot of couple's dancing or modern dance, so I have been mostly used to choreographed dances where I knew what to expect, needed some lessons in following, and my partner needed some instruction in leading. We did the 6-lesson package with Suzie and are incredible glad we did. She spent the first lesson-and-a-half getting us comfortable with ourselves, each other, and different beginner positions, and she worked with us to improve and add onto our choreography with each and every lesson. She never was a stickler for time and made sure we were at a comfortable stopping point before ending each class, and was incredibly patient with us throughout the learning process. Her sense of humor and easy-goingness made it very comfortable to ask questions, practice on video, and work with her as a whole. Because of COVID-19, we never actually got to go into the studio and all our classes were done via Zoom, but honestly, that just goes to show what an absolutely incredible instructor Suzie is. If you're looking for wedding choreography or lessons, talk to Suzie!!

The people in charge of this establishment should be ashamed of themselves…read more My son is a 13 years old professional recording artist who lives and goes to school in Marin County. Our school's music director reached out to me asking if my son could help the Stapleton School. Apparently, they were in need of a pianist who could provide musical accompaniment for a ballet recital. I was put in touch with Isabella Qureshi who is the Director of Stapleton's Theatre Division. Isabella began an email thread communicating with us daily to ensure that my son would be able to fulfill their request. I explained to Isabella that despite being only 13 years old, that my son is an advanced pianist who has both competed as a state finalist in the MTAC program and was also the recipient of the Marin Music Chest Scholarship (he won in his first year of eligibility.) After receiving the sheet music, my son set out to learn the pieces. We were sent 4 individual piano pieces. I should mention that my son is actively involved in numerous recording engagements and live performances throughout the U.S. While my son was willing to take on this request for help on behalf of the Stapleton School, by no means was it convenient to do so. My son dedicated time every evening to learning these pieces in order to get them performance ready. This was after completing all his school work and other responsibilities. By no means was this effortless, he spent about 2 weeks overall in preparation for the event. A couple days before the performance date, I receive an email from someone named, Janell McFarland stating how "small changes can really confuse the kids" and "thank you for your offer." First of all, we didn't offer, we were specifically asked to help the Stapleton School in their "time of need." Second, is this how you conduct business on a regular basis? What a shame! You could have used this as an opportunity to build relations within your community. Instead, your flippant disregard for a young man's commitment and dedication has left us disenchanted. I'd like the Stapleton School to know that I share this experience with everyone who mentions your name.

As a teacher, Sarah's cues were very easy to follow which made it so easy to access the inspiring elements of dance and music. Of course there is a learning curve in any new exercise, and I hardly felt it. If you haven't tried Nia, it's such a refreshing form of exercise- creative and therapeutic. The other class members were very warm and inviting. The other businesses in the downtown setting are charming and you get that neighborhood feel. I had a smoothie at Cafe Del Soul after my class and felt like a blessed chica. I'm very excited to try all the other classes and so happy to be a part of this positive community.
