It can be challenging to find a dance studio where there's no to minimal favoritism and where it's run professionally. We finally found the perfect studio for our daughter and she is attending her 2nd year now. SoCal is run by a studio owner who really cares about the team culture of the students. She makes the dancers feel like one big family. Pros- 1- Option for Convention and Competition Team. 2- Large new facility. 3- Organized and professional. 4- A wide range of dance classes such as: ballet, pointe, hip hop, jazz, tap, and more. 5- Fair pricing. 6- The studio owner is very involved and is a great support to the dancers. Cons- 1- No novice adult dance classes for moms that are wannabe dancers (like me) :(

I grew up dancing at San Elijo Dance and Music Academy (SEDMA) and now am back with my own daughter…read more15 years later! I have fantastic memories from dancing ballet, jazz, and lyrical at SEDMA. Some of my fondness memories were from the friendships, sleep overs, rehearsal, and performances. We would take class from 4-6PM on Friday, pick someone's house to sleep over, be back Saturday morning at the studio by 10AM and dance till 2PM and do it all over again. It was so fun. I still dance today as an adult and I feel that ballet especially taught me posture, stage presence, and confidence that helps me in my career any time I public speak or create content . My daughter is still new to dance but loves her classes and is so excited to be back in class this new school year. I hope she has as wonderful of an experience as I did. I recommend you try a class, build community, and watch your child develop confidence, coordinate, and poise!

My daughter has been learning Persian dancing from Ila's Dance Academy for the past 4 months and we…read morehave been impressed by our experience. In researching a dance academy that would be a good fit, we paid Ila's studio a visit and were very impressed with her techniques and approach to teaching. Since starting the class a few months ago, my little one has developed a real love for this style of dance. My kiddo is taking quite a few other extracurriculars (ballet, tap, soccer, etc) but this is clearly her favorite class. Ila is clearly very technically skilled and highly trained, while being engaging with the kids and ensuring the class is fun.

Ila is an amazing dance instructor! Teaching me how to dance isn't easy. I didn't have the…read moreslightest experience in dancing nor were I even flexible. However, she managed to teach me how to dance in less than a year. Her patience with her students is unparalleled which makes her a great teacher. She pays great attention to every single one of her students in each class and provides extremely useful feedback. She continuously strives to help her students improve session by session and is always responsive via text. She offers many classes in San Diego and offers a couple sessions Wednesdays in Orange County. She's also available for private sessions too. I'll continue taking classes with for as long as I possibly can. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn how to dance (any style). P.S. She's not only an amazing dance instructor, but she's also extremely kind and caring as well as very honest (which is really rare these days).

THIS IS BY NO MEANS ON THE INSTRUCTORS I think they are all so sweet just not familiar with the mind of an active toddler who just learned how to walk and run. There was not much interaction with music, they spent half the time on technical moves and structure. Maybe this is on me but I thought it would be more fun loving and carefree. We also were doing this for socialization and there are not other kids. One thing that did irritate me was at the end of the class that we were the only ones signed up for she suggested we come to a class at a different location to see how class is with "more well behaved kids". Well the class she suggested has a 7 and 10 month old. My daughter would have done great at 7 and 10 months too because she wasn't running at that point. My suggestion is if you don't know toddlers maybe don't offer classes for them or get instructors who have worked with or have toddlers and understand their attention span. Also. It was very hot it in studio my daughter downed her water we asked if they had a place to fill up and she told us to go to the subway next door. So just bring a lot of water on the summer days

It's small, clean, and so cute, with pink and purple walls, framed tutus on display, and high-quality dance wear and accessories for sale. There are seats so parents can watch and be the "audience." It's so much fun to watch the classes, and my girls love the encouragement. The teachers are amazing! We've been in Ms. Ava's Primary Ballet class for the past year and a half, and we absolutely love her. She keeps every class fresh by including engaging games and fun stretches into every class. She is so kind, patient, and encouraging, and does a great job of teaching all the dance moves and building students' confidence. She also spends a lot of time practicing the Bravo Bash dances, and my girls always feel super prepared for their recitals. A few words on the recitals: The Bravo Bashes are so much fun. They're the perfect, low-stress way for kids to build their confidence dancing in front of an audience without a lot of added pressure. All the rehearsals are done during class time, and students can sit with their parents in the audience until it's their time to perform. The performance fee is super reasonable compared to other studios, and students get to keep their adorable, high- quality costumes. All in all, Tutu School is a win!!
