She's grown so much as a dancer and a person, taking multiple styles of dance along with Baton and being part of the Teen Competition Team. The instructors are amazing -- supportive, talented, and truly care about every student's progress. The studio feels like a second home, and the environment is positive, encouraging, and family-oriented. We highly recommend El Dorado Dance Academy to anyone looking for a place where dancers can thrive, build confidence, and be part of an incredible community.

Amy at EDDA North is incredible!! I have done a lot of children's activities over the years and no…read moreinstructor has ever compared to Amy. If you have the opportunity to sign your child up for a class with Amy, do it! She is by far the most patient instructor I have ever seen and she goes out of her way to know every child's name. Which is impressive because the class sizes are large and the roster changes from week-to-week. Remembering you child's name might not be a big deal to you but it means the world to the dancers and it also reflects her passion and attention to detail. She makes every class fun, interactive, and knows how to pivot when children are feeling a bit squirrelly. Amy is a true asset to EDDA North and I hope she is valued as such! I have twin girls and we have taken 6-7 months of ballet with her and I can't rave about her enough

All the things you would want from someone spending time with your child and teaching them a skill!

She doesn't have the same level of fun at a normal dance studio because she is more reserved and she doesn't know the people there. That's been a big plus for us. Does she learn anything cool? Don't know. My daughter shows us very little of what she learns. The dance performance she dis at school was kinda weak; teacher said they only learned the dance that morning. My question was why they only prepared in the morning instead of 2 weeks ago. In any case, the key thing for us is the fun factor. And my daughter has a lot of fun. That's why the 4 stars. Otherwise I might give them a 3 based on the performance I saw.

The classes for the young students begin at an early hour in order to allow the young ones to be home for dinner. They even have a Saturday morning class for 3-6 year olds! Pam and Zara are both seasoned instructors who deeply care about helping students who wish to focus on classical ballet, so this is a studio that accomodates the growing needs of a ballet student. Training begins gently and the next thing you know, your child will be dancing beautifully. They are always mindful to teach and explain the proper way to execute the exercises rather than simply running class as many studios do. My daughter has danced here and grown in technique for many years. We are satisfied with this studio and would recommend it.

UPDATE: I was emailed December 2nd and told that I would receive a refund via Venmo. It is now…read moreJanuary and I still have not received a refund despite sending a follow up inquiry via email. I am really saddened to post a negative review about a local business. My daughter started ballet at the conservatory about seven months ago when she was still four. In the beginning she loved going and would twirl around the house and dream of being a ballerina. A little after five she moved up to the next class level. The new class was a bit more challenging, and went from 45 minutes to an hour, but she was still enjoying it and learning a lot. Everything went downhill when tryouts for the Nutcracker began. Firstly, we needed to pay $20 for tryouts, which did not seem right to me since tryouts were held during her regular class time that we were paying for. After she was given a role, the classes switched to 1.5 hours. That is a VERY long time for a 5 year old, and they are given only one or two very brief breaks for water during this time. The lighthearted feel of the class disappeared and most of the young girls are visibly exhausted at the end. My daughter started to dread going and admitted to me that it is no longer fun for her. She said she is dreading Christmas because she knows she has to keep practicing for the Nutracker, and she hates the long classes and that she isn't allowed more water breaks. When I emailed the conservatory to tell them we wanted to cancel, I asked about getting a refund for the $100 Nutracker fee. Originally I was told it was for the cost of the costume, which she has not yet been fitted for, so I did not think it would be an issue. However, I was told this cost will not be refunded because it is for "production fee costs." The only thing she has received is grueling 1.5 hour classes that we did not want in the first place. I was also told that I will not receive even a partial fee for the monthly tuition costs despite the fact that she will not be attending any classes this month. I was also informed that they will be making adjustments to classes, and if she comes and finishes out the month they may consider a nutcracker fee refund. At this point my daughter has had ballet ruined for her so it is a bit late for that. Overall I feel the young students are being pushed beyond what is appropriate so that the studio can have their Nutcracker performance. Again, I don't love leaving a negative review for a local business but I think other's need to consider this when enrolling a young child at this studio.

She did such a great job teaching us that we hired her to teach my husband and his mom for their Mother & Son dance which was a night club two step (her amazing suggestion) and for my Father Daughter dance which was a waltz (again her suggestion). We had 4 lessons with Adriana per dance and I can't reccomend her enough. She is an amazing teacher who is passionate about helping others learn to dance.
