    This review is a long time coming, and it's coming from a place of frustration and loss…read more We started out at the Pleasanton studio in August of 2017. My daughter performed with the company from 2018-2021 at the Fremont and Livermore studios. The issues and problems that we ran into are still spilling over to my daughter's dancing. The teacher turnover is RIDICULOUS. Teachers come and go so often there, and it throws the dancers off. During the 2020-2021 competition season, in one month, we went through 3, yes THREE teachers. There is absolutely no consistency. There is absolutely no technique taught there. TDA spits our choreography and does not teach terminology, proper turnout, etc, etc, ETC!!!!! It's all recycled routines year, after year, after year. There is no originality whatsoever. My daughter went to dance competitions and conventions and she was lost when it came to basic terminology, and basic steps. We spent thousands of dollars with them, and looking back; what a waste! Miss Tiffany does not care at all. We mostly danced at Fremont, and I never, ever once saw her visit the studio. We danced at one competition and when Fremont studio was up, she walked out. Yes, she walked out and didn't watch our girls dance. We danced with her for years, and she wouldn't be able to pick my kid out of a lineup. Ms. Robbie who is the TDA Company director is great. I actually really, really like her and think she is fabulous. She was always really kind, fair, and accommodating for me and my daughter. Looking back, on our experiences there, we are blessed that we met such amazing girls. My daughter calls most of them her bff's and I'm so grateful for that. Even better, they still dance together at another studio. If you are looking for a recreational dance only place for your kids to have fun, go for it. If you are looking for a studio that will teach your kid PROPERLY, I suggest going somewhere else.

In order to perform at the recital we had to pay for the costume ( no complaints) and then pay $100 for the dancer and her family to watch the performance. The recital was outdoors in Livermore in June at 3p with no seats set up. They would not let her perform in the recital unless the $100 tickets were bought. Her performance was less than 2 min. Also, the classes are in Fremont but we had to drive ALL THE WAY to Livermore for the performance. Inconsiderate, cheap and I wouldn't recommend to parents looking for a fun dance class. Look elsewhere! I'm sure your city leisure services has great classes for a fraction of the price and headache.

She's been in the Nutcracker every year and looks forward to it every holiday season. My only set back is with younger classes, if there's a time where a child or a group of children are acting out/not participating it's really hard on a solo teacher. So proper discipline and redirection can be hard... but overall we are still very pleased with this company and will continue to return.

"The Nutcracker" is a memorable story that children 2-92 years can enjoy year after year. The Livermore production is made up of a group of talented performers from our community who take their efforts very seriously. You can tell from the production value that they have spent many hours honing their craft and it shows in every performance. This is not a casual display but a full two hours of ballet, humorous asides, dazzling costumes and of course - the wonderful music. I'm probably posting this too late for you to enjoy this year's production ... but if the economic downturn continues another year ... consider "The Nutcracker" for a grand family outing in 2010.

We originally signed up for ballet and tap lessons for my daughter, but we've since expanded to competition jazz--and we're hoping to add hip hop next year. The studio has such an amazing sense of community. From the other parents to the teachers, everyone is incredibly supportive and welcoming, especially for new parents like me. Miss Samantha, the owner and teacher, is truly wonderful. She's so patient and kind with all the kids, including my daughter, and you can tell she really cares about their growth and happiness. If you're even a little curious, there's a free dance day/class on February 1, 2025 where your child can try it out. It's a great chance to see how fun and inclusive this studio is.

Being new in the dance world, I liked that she had exposure to both types of dance (ballet and tap). It really helped us figure out which type of dance she wanted to stick with in the future. My girl was also able to participate in her first ever recital this past summer. She was nervous but the studio is such a warm & kind environment that everything went perfectly. She also had so much fun dancing on stage! The teachers, older dancers and parent volunteers are all so caring and amazing with the kids. Overall, a great experience.

The owner Ashley has a chip up her shoulder & clearly oblivious of her knowledge gaps. She will inundate you with messy ill organized emails & text messages, and yell at you for not checking them properly.

Fast forward 7 years and now my other two daughters are enrolled as well. I have never seen someone do as much work as the owner Ashley. She is dedicated, and shows up for every dancer. We see the long hours, the care, and the patience. And we want her to know it never goes unnoticed. The teachers create a positive, welcoming environment where the girls feel supported and motivated. My daughters have not only improved on their techniques but have also built meaningful friendships and become much more confident. This studio goes above and beyond, and we're so grateful to be part of it.

This is why many who attend trainings here, struggle to find support. They also lack total empathy for their community partners. They use the story of Eileen to portray that they do care, but this story is totally played out. To top it off, this place lacks professionalism and is a very hostile environment. If you're foreseen as a threat, or if they do not like you, document! Office manager is very unskilled for her position and tends to micromanage and treat everyone as they are entry level just as she. Let's not forget the bullies in this office. Be aware, don't apply here if you have great interests towards helping others. They only care about their apprenticeship programs, because that is how they profit and continue their lavish styles.

    So where do I begin after reading the only other review of this organization? I actually learned…read moreabout ABC through my brother (who learned it through a few other people after graduating school). Me and my brother grew up in the construction trade and were the main maintenance workers for our family business out in Hayward. Our family used to own a nursing home, so at an early age, my father taught me and my brother not only how to use our hands but also how to have a strong work ethic. Before I even start with my experience in ABC I do want to note that the previous review, him listing his many delinquencies, ANY employer with a worker that had so many problems would not keep him employed for long. Anyways I was referred to ABC through my brother and his friend John. Both of them graduated from the carpentry program with flying colors. Like brother like son, I wasnt interested in college much at the time so I decided to give ABC a chance. Even with the economy and the expected long wait list, they were very respectable in keeping me posted when new work was available and I never felt as if I was left in the dark. When I was dispatched they also helped advise me in situations that were very new to me. I worked in Pittsburg for the new courthouse, (VERY BIG PROJECT!) and needless to say I was a little scared. They really helped calm my nerves and helped me push forward. Due to my own personal life (college and career choices) I am no longer working in the construction field. Even still I couldn't thank them more. Also on a funny side note, all the time I was there I assumed they were only an apprenticeship program. Turns out they also have Seminars and Business Growth classes. They even have a Political Affairs group that help with public works and defending community rights. If you do watch local politics, you will see them there trying to do whats best for us.
