*Rediscovering Myself Through Dance: A Journey for New Moms*…read more As a child, I found joy in Bharatnatyam and Hindustani classical vocals, with performance feeling like second nature. But as a new mother, I realized how much I missed that creative outlet--something just for me. Stepping into Dance Identity in Sunnyvale reignited that passion. It's not just about learning new dance styles; it's about reconnecting with myself, embracing movement as an expression of joy, and finding a supportive community along the way. Some of my fellow dancers have become dear friends, making this journey even more rewarding. To all the new moms (and anyone else seeking to be part of a community while learning to dance) out there looking for an energizing escape, a space to move, express, and connect--come dance with us. You deserve this!

I can promise you there is something for everyone - from non dancers to professional dancers. I personally have grown so much here and I love all my instructors.

Check out their Instagram for videos! :) @danceid, @difitwithshaira

Grateful for a studio where getting fit, flexible and more balanced is fun!

I found Mambonova, ironically through Yelp, and am so glad I did! I have taken levels 1-3 for salsa as well as 2 bachata classes here. Their rates are very reasonable plus you get a great teacher and quality lessons! Hector is an AMAZING instructor and he is very passionate about dance and teaching! He teaches salsa on2 and the classes usually look like this: -Stretching and warm up -Footwork -practice with music -Partner work -Practice with music At the end of every class he demonstrates everything again slowly with counts and lets you record so you can practice on your own! Hector really encourages all the students to practice outside of class as he is very mindful of his students learning time. I've met so many new people through Mambonova and through latin dance! I'll be trying out for the salsa performance team this month! There are multiple levels for the teams so anyone at any level can try out for them! 100% will be recommending Mambonova to anyone trying to pick up a new hobby!

This studio has challenged her and she has grown so much to be a better dancer and person. I wish I had moved her to this studio sooner. The teachers and staff are all wonderful. If there is any concerns addressed they do their best to resolve it. When greeting on phone, I believe they should say their name first so It sounds more welcoming. And not so stiff sounding. Especially, since the person on the other end of phone probably doesn't know how sweet the office Staff are.

I have never more happy about a decision I've made. Not only has she drastically improved in just two years, getting a title, scholarships and awards to boot. But, more importantly we've found a new incredible family. These kids and parents all truly care about each other and it's so beautiful. No drama just unbelievable support and great vibes. The teachers are the most amazing humans who truly care about your kid and have a great balance of cheering them on and guiding them to their best potential. I adore every single one of them. They have given my daughter (and I) so much love and support that I'm forever grateful for. I also take their adult classes which has been the most amazing experience for me as well. Yes, it's great fitness and fun. But it has also honestly been such a light in my life on my darkest days and been so great for my mental health. You get the same incredible teachers and amazing supportive community. Who knew one trial class could change our lives so much for the better? Forever grateful for our new family!

Street parking right in front. Customer Service - Marquee (Marky) was the instructor. Great guy! He was patient, fun, and creative. TL;DR OVERALL 5 Stars. Gotta love a good dance studio. I get the price...San Jose ain't cheap but glad to see the arts continuing. This was great with good acoustics, space, floor, and community. Props to the owners and the instructors here.

Mari has a special gift for understanding each student's individual level and potential, and she knows exactly how to push you to the next level. She genuinely enjoys watching her students grow, and her ability to connect with and inspire so many people is truly impressive. Dancing on the Audaz team has been a fun and transformative experience--I've improved so much since starting with her. Mari has a way of correcting mistakes without undermining your confidence, which makes learning enjoyable and motivating. Plus, she has an amazing sense of humor, making practices even more fun! She's also fantastic with kids; both of my children dance on teams with her, and they absolutely love it. Mari is an all-around wonderful teacher and a joy to work with.

The owner was quick to recover her customer service & we were able to use the studio for longer than we scheduled for, which was much appreciated. The studio is clean, has a bathroom, ceiling fans & has great lighting. Definitely recommend this studio!

I started learning dance with Ceech with very little dance experience. I've taken a few dance…read moreclasses elsewhere but with Ceech, the learning experience has been more rewarding. He focuses on making your foundational skills more solid. For a beginner, it's easy to rush to look cool but with Ceech, a lot of patience is involved from him into making a move really solid. This is exactly what I'm looking for from my dance coach -grounding the basic moves really well. In helping his students get to a move, I appreciate the progressive approach he takes into getting to the final move. Not only does Ceech break it down into smaller and easier steps, he also improvises progressive steps that starts from the easier moves that leads to the more complicated moves and eventually to the move we're trying to nail down. He does this based on what he observes real time about your situation and your current dance skills so I actually end up learning the move faster than if I were to just practice the harder move 10,000 times. I also appreciate Ceech's knowledge in dance in general. I also share my experience from my other dance classes with him and sometimes we talk about moves from my other classes as well. You can also learn a lot about the history of hip hop from him, for those who are interested. So far, I've had about 6-7 lessons with Ceech but I do see myself learning from him long term. Highly recommend Ceech to anyone who's looking to get serious about hip hop.

Coach Ceech has been phenomenal…read more I've danced all my life, from school activities to Zumba, parties, and hip hop.

You rock, Coach.

After reviewing a number of places offering dance lessons, we decided to go with Studio M for one…read morereason: Giovanni!! Before we booked, we had a free consultation with him and he made sure to ask all the right questions to get a good feel of what we wanted to do for our wedding dance: what kind of music we liked, what our experience is, what kind of dress I was wearing, etc. He even offered to remix some songs together if we didn't have a single song in mind. He wanted to make sure that we were comfortable with whatever dance happened. He's also Italian and we're having our wedding in Italy, so it felt like fate to meet him! We ended up booking 10 lessons with Giovanni. After we decided on a song, within the first lesson, we already had a good 30 seconds choreographed. He was patient with us both, as neither of us had dance experience, and he really listened to us on what we were comfortable doing. He also shortened our song choice so that our first dance was within a reasonable timeframe. Within 4 lessons, our entire dance was choreographed! We spent the rest of the lessons perfecting, tweaking, and refining every possible moment! It really put us at ease for when we finally hit the dance floor. Another really awesome thing about Giovanni is that since he does a lot of weddings, he is always thinking about a number of things to make sure that the dance is beautiful, but also that the photos captured are perfect! He took a lot of videos for us so we can watch and practice at home. He also made sure to tell us when we'd have good "photo moments" where we should perfect our poses for the quick moment our photographer will have to snap a pic. And he even recommended sending a video to our photographer with recommendations on photo moments, so the photographer can get familiar with the dance ahead of time. In general, Giovanni is so kind, patient, and incredibly fun to be around and we cannot recommend him enough as a wedding dance instructor!!

We took five lessons at Studio M, which is a beautiful space with easy parking, and every session felt like a mix of progress and pure joy. We truly could not have had a better instructor. Giovanni made our experience so memorable and meaningful, and we'll cherish these moments forever.
