Dancers, parents, and office staff are great. Dance instruction is good, although if you care about…read moreyour dancer's mental health and self-esteem, stay away. The dance team and studio director Jami Gobee puts an enormous amount of stress on these dancers and then criticizes them when they can't handle the stress. She refused to allow any medical accommodations that were provided, and repeatedly told us that she knows more as a dancer than our surgical doctor and therefore wouldn't accept the notes!! Instead of allowing accommodations, she made punishing threats and forced my child to take all of her classes when she was injured and sick. With every request, I received a cold and rigid response like the one copied from the other reviewer. Jami and her dance teachers regularly humiliated and ridiculed my child for her anxiety when they were the root cause of that anxiety, and told her that her dancing was getting worse (I wonder why....). Anxiety increased exponentially during her time at Fusion, and dropped almost instantly once we left. Jami told the entire dance team not to talk to us when we left, which speaks volumes to her character. They are all afraid of this woman. I would love to say that this is a good studio, but Jami creates an unhealthy environment for youth that I would not recommend to anyone. So unfortunate and so misguided.

I took a technique class with Chelsea Wednesday and I LOVED it. She has high expectations and…read morepushes you to achieve your best. At the end of class, after I am spent, she has us do like a million Sautés then Relevé in first and hold it. She says something to the effect of..... take all that energy and quiet it. That's what makes a dancer, being able to create all that energy and harness it. That resonates with me and I appreciate it. Granted I am bay FAR the oldest in the class, but personally I don't mind it. I find it both nostalgic and inspiring. Overall great studio, and I can see in the girls the fabulous technique they have. Beautiful dancers, and Chelsea is a great teacher!

THE OWNER (FRANCESCA) PUSHED ME…read more I read a negative comment about the lady at the front desk who always seems bothered by questions. That was 11 years ago. I cannot agree more to this day. Every interaction with Rose has been completely off putting and unwelcoming. At Thursdays recital, pick up was a complete disaster. I was pushed by multiple parents and then THE OWNER looked me dead in the eyes and pushed me. The barrier the older students originally had up was no longer there and parents all had their kids. When I saw another mom I know with my daughter, I walked towards them. THE OWNER PUSHED ME AND SAID NO when other students were with their families. My daughter is 3 years old and short like me, so once I finally found her I wanted to get to her so she felt safe. I wasn't pushing anyone, running around, or acting aggressively in any way. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT WOMAN LAID A HAND ON ME. The teachers are nice, but almost all staff who work the front desk have been too bothered for questions or any interaction. I grew up in a studio that felt like a community, this is NOT one of those places.

I have been attending classes for over 9 months now and I've learned so much about the culture and story of hulu dancing. I'm glad I decided to try something new and I am confident in the knowledge and expertise of this halau.

I have been at this Hālau for over a year now and I can easily say coming here was the best…read moredecision I ever made. Our teacher (or Kumu) is supportive and does an impeccable job of teaching hula even if you are an absolute beginner like I was, you have nothing to fear because this is a place where all will feel welcome and supported. And if you're also a slow learner like me, do not worry, our classes are live streamed and recorded so that we can go home and practice without feeling completely lost. This is a feature that I have never seen in any other class which makes this Hālau stand out from the rest. I love being able to hone my skill even if I'm not able to make it to the physical class. Not only do we learn Hula dances, I appreciate the fact that we are able to learn Hawaiian because Kumu does a great job of showing the cultural aspect behind hula as well. I can confidently say that joining this Hālau would leave you with no regrets whatsoever. If you are ready to embark on the beauty that is the hula journey, "ʻAʻa i ka hula, waiho ka hilahila ma ka hale". As we learned means, "Dare to dance, leave your shyness at home!"

Kristina was so accommodating, letting our team set up before the wedding party even arrived. You could tell she truly cared about making the space look beautiful, and she went out of her way to make sure every detail was great. We even had a small mishap with one of the items we brought, but Kristina didn't hesitate--she quickly found a replacement before the event even started. Her kindness and willingness to help really made a difference. Before the reception, Kristina took the time to chat with our team about the details and logistics, which made setting up smooth and totally stress-free. The kitchen was clean, organized, and stocked with everything we needed, and the bathrooms were spotless--which our whole team appreciated. I'm so glad the wedding party chose this venue for their reception. Kristina's hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care made it such a beautiful and memorable celebration. I'd highly recommend this venue to anyone.
