I've been looking for a dance studio for a while and was so grateful to find En Pointe. My 5yrs old…read moredaughter went to Summer dance camp and loved it there so much we enrolled her for Ballet, Jazz and Hula for the fall/winter. We also enrolled her 3yrs old sister for Ballet. What sold me on this studio was when I watched Hazel, the owner reminded the children to be respectful of their Team Leaders at Summer dance camp. Ms. Hazel's demeanor is kind, gentle yet firm. You can tell she truly cares about her students and also teaches them good character. The older dancers were also good role models and well mannered. I wanted my girls to be at a place where they can learn to dance in a positive environment and grow with as a family. I can say we've found it here at En Pointe. I also wanted to share my experience with my 3yrs old. For the first 3 or 4 classes, she would cry and would not stay or participate in class without me there. I was thinking about withdrawing her and Hazel understood. She didn't make me feel bad or tried to talk me out of it. Then that next class, my daughter didn't cry and I didn't need to be there. Apparently she found it comforting to dance side by side with Ms. Tiffany. Eventually, Ms. Tiffany would get her back in line with the other dancers but it worked. From then on she went to class and participated and they are practicing for the winter recital now. I love how the instructors connect with each child to build a trusting relationship. Now my daughter gets excited and goes to class even before I tell her to. In summary, I'm giving 5 stars because: 1. Great location 2. Kind, organized Owner always has a smile on her face and very prompt with any emails or texts. 3. Professional and Patient instructors 4. Well mannered older dancers which are good role models for my young children 5. Relax atmosphere for parents and non dancing children in the waiting room 6. Gorgeous studio. Love their glitter wall. 7. I don't know anything about dance or techniques but my girls are learning quick and I see their developments and excited to see their recital this December. 8. Love the big screen TV in the waiting room where we can watch our dancers from. 9. The Dance Recital Costumes are so cute!!! 10. I see my girls dancing here long term and growing up with their classmates. It's a family environment here. Many if not all of the kids gets along so well. I would definitely recommend En Pointe to my friends and family.

I didn't just want the regular workout at a gym so, I decided I wanted to get back into dancing like I did almost 20 years ago. I went on to Yelp to lookup any local halau's near me and I ran across Hula Ikaika Ohana O Kaawai-E Honu Iti E in Tracy. I spoke with Kumu Renee and she made me feel right at home from the minute I met her. It's been since July 18' that I decided to join this halau and it was the best decision I made. All my hula sisters have been welcoming and encouraging. Kumu Renee is so kind, caring and passionate about her halau and students. I'm so happy I joined!!!!

I have been bringing my daughter here for 12 years. That says a lot about a place. The atmosphere…read moreis warm and inviting, with that I'm talking about the people. Would we have continued coming here for 12 years if it wasn't so? During that time I've started dancing too. My sons even dance once in a while. This halau is like family and you are treated that way the moment you walk through the door. It has been great seeing my kids grow up with all their halau sisters and brothers. The wonderful ladies I dance with have all become my sisters as well. Kumu Renee is a more than qualified Kumu Hula (hula instructor). Certified at that! Not many Kumu out there are. She was taught by one of the best and it shows in her dedication to her dancers. She does not teach you simply how to dance, but you are taught the history, the culture and the language so you can dance educated. There are a lot of people out there who are taught how to dance but not taught the meaning. Hula and Tahitian dancing tells a story with every step, every sway or hand movement and she teaches us that. It's more important than learning the dance itself. Kumu Renee is very proud of her students and she encourages them through every stage of developing into the best dancer they can be. This halau is a performing halau. They do shows all of the time, for many occasions. But they also dance competitively. If you find yourself stopping by the halau you can see the many awards won in previous years. There are separate classes for the little kids, I believe the youngest dancer is 3! Then there are beginner classes, intermediate and advanced classes too. So it doesn't matter what skill level you are at, you can join. When my daughter first started here she had zero experience. After a while of course she improved and never looked back. It was one of the best decisions I've made to bring her here all those years ago. I'd do it again in a heart beat.

(Ages…read more1-11) Pros: -They helped set up/clean up -Coaches were friendly -Up to however many kids you wanted -Reasonable price for party Cons: -No real communication between owner Jenny and coaches (coach was unaware of size of party) -Lots of waiting around for instruction -no water break -kids were told to not go in foam pit -not organized The kids were kind of kept away from the foam pit. Almost like the foam pit was sacred space. There were 3 coaches but only 1 really giving instruction. So instead of 3 groups of kids it was just 1 big group. Lots of waiting around for instruction. They played hide and seek for most of the time. I had a few kids come tell me they wanted to play in the foam pit and use the foam pads but were denied. Also, no water breaks. The older kids told me after that they were denied water and told to wait until it was time to eat which was another 30 min later. I had great communication with Jenny up until after the party when I went to give her feedback. This is the text I sent her," Good morning Jenny, thank you for letting us have my kids birthday party at your gym. Just a few things before I forget. There was a lot of waiting around and definitely not enough free play. I understand it was a large group but this should have been thought through and organized to accommodate our group size. My deciding factor to come to this gym was the gym itself and half of the time the kids were waiting around for instruction and playing hide and seek. Also, there were no water breaks. We had a few kids who asked for a water and they were told to wait until it was time to eat, which didn't happen for another 30 min. All and in all most kids had a great time. Just wanted to give you feedback for future parties. Thanks again! " This place wasn't terrible but it wasn't great either. I probably won't book a birthday here again. I wasn't going to make this review but it seems I'm not the only person who didn't have the best experience here. Still haven't received not one peep from this place.

I am grateful for Jolynda taking in my son and having him join the cherubs this year.

Every time I put on his dance shoes, he knows he is going to his little dance class. It's amazing how much he has opened up from being a shy boy to an outgoing prince! Thank you to all the teachers and of course Jolynda.

We tried out Sondance last spring for my 6 year old daughter. Everything seemed fine at first, but…read moreI started seeing red flags as soon as I started filling out the paper work. On multiple pages, they kept saying things like, "if you are offended, take it to God in prayer first before coming to management." Okaaaaay... Clearly they've had issues with parents in the past. My daughter's teacher was really sweet, and she enjoyed going to practice each week. About 8 weeks before the recital, I realized that we were going to be out of town for the dress rehearsal for the recital (which are mandatory), but we would be back for the recital itself. It was definitely a mistake on my part, but I thought we had enough advanced notice to inform them, and I knew that my daughter we be able to attend all other rehearsals. I had already purchased a $50 costume, and we had been present and on time to all previous practices, so I took my concerns to the staff. The secretary empathized with me and felt like the issue could be resolved, and suggested I talk to the owner, Jolynda. Once I explained the situation to her, she coldly dismissed me and bluntly said that my 6 year old could not participate in the recital (because she would miss ONE dress rehearsal). Not only was she curt in her response, she then proceeded to express her dissatisfaction in my mistake, and how it was going to mess up the whole dance, now that my daughter wouldn't be performing. "You really should've told us sooner" (at this point, we were 6 weeks away from the recital....). For claiming to be a "christian" dance company, they certainly don't show it. My 6 year old couldn't be in the recital from one missed rehearsal? Unreasonable, but fine. I get it. Rules are rules. Her delivery was just plain awful though. The most un-Christlike I have been treated in a long time. Oh, and the cherry on top? She has a "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" posted on her door.... Sounds Christlike, doesn't it? I should've trusted my instincts from the get-go when filling out the paper work that was PLASTERED in policies about praying before being offended.
