My daughter has been dancing and performing on stage a total of 7yrs and at EDC for 3+yrs...she…read morestarted on the recreational dance team, and now dances on the competitive company team. EDC is a great environment for those who are passionate about dance at any age! Its not about being the most technical, having the perfect look, or the most money - it IS about love of dance, being able to take instruction, show respect, and want to work and grow! EDC has found such a great mix of being a warm/welcoming studio for all levels AND providing top notch instruction and opportunities for the most ambitious/experienced ones! We have been with 4 total studios in North County and all have been wonderful (except for one - which I will not name, but we stayed less than 1 year, as we did not feel welcomed at all - after almost a full year of attending classes every week twice a week, the same check in lady had no clue who my daughter was). If I could give myself advice when starting this dance journey...find and stick with the studio that supports the vision/future you and your dancer are working towards...my daughter and I are pretty grounded when it comes to our expectations from all of this, but everyone is in it for different reasons and because of that one of the challenges as a parent is managing feelings of inequality/jealousy, or being left out/left behind - its helped me grow as a mom! It starts at home - work can be done on teaching your child to be an attentive student, set attainable goals, but dream big, and to compare themselves not to one another but to their last performance. Lastly, the EDC staff is involved in the industry professionally and is well connected for unique opportunities! They are bringing in top notch master instructors and choreographers, they attend a great mix of competitions and conventions - building confidence while keeping them humble!

My daughter loves to dance and will choose this studio as her dance family every day all day! She…read moreloves that she gets to compete on a team, all styles of dance, and even perform the nutcracker every Christmas! She has big dreams and feels everyone around is as invested in her success as her family is! It makes us so happy knowing she loves going to dance and she gets to really manage and drive her own little journey with the EDC team!

My 13 year old daughter has been at CPAA for about a year and a half now. Prior to that we were at…read morea classical ballet studio which she absolutely loved. When we switched due to moving, my daughter was at first upset because at age 11.5 she was about to start pointe at the other studio. What I really loved right away was how she was immediately evaluated to see if she was even ready for pointe. Ms. Shannon did a fantastic job explaining in great detail where my daughter had a few weaknesses in her ankles, and proper body alignment. She was given detailed notes on how to strengthen and correct things to get her ready to start pointe. As a mom new to dance all together, I would have never known this if I let the other studio just put her on pointe without evaluating to see if she is truly ready. My daughter really took a good understanding of this and followed the instructions to work hard to get herself strong enough. The process may have taken a little longer but we both felt so happy knowing she wouldn't be putting her body at risk by rushing into it. Now she's on her third pair of pointe shoes and progressing more and more every class. We are so happy here and love all of the staff. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you're comparing other studios. My daughter is very happy we switched after all. She's making new friends and loving the variety of classes too.

Seems like she has been on the verge of greatness for a long time. Love how Nikki believes in her and is helping her reach her dreams. Beautiful studio and environment.

It is a great feeling to have the freedom to train with whoever you want to grow with as a dancer without all of the politics involved. For me, it's hard to be told that I cannot work with a choreographer that gets my child's abilities. Nikki is an amazing choreographer with strong technique who brings something different to the table and encourages training with other choreographers. She's confident in knowing that it will only improve her dancers and wants to support them entirely. She keeps up with the trends of this industry and knows how to get the judges attention. She pushes you hard and expects you to give your all and will not accept anything less. Her ability to teach the musicality of a routine is like watching a heart beat to the sound of the rhythm. Very talented! It surprises me how well she knows her dancers strengths and weaknesses. She stays correcting her dancers with a compassion and attention they require along with a dose of tough love so that they get exactly what they need to work on to reach their goal. She knows exactly how to clean them up with grace, humility and confidence. If your looking for quality results that will really help your dancer improve without wasting your time and money then get ready to train hard at NOTION Dance Concepts. A drama-free zone where quality is everyone's priority. NDC has Good vibes and is a friendly warm welcoming atmosphere that is flexible with each individual dancer. I look forward to the workshops and intensives she holds at her studio introducing all new types of genre and choreography. And I especially look forward to Aerial Achievements workshops coming soon to teach Acro on special occasion.

We had such a great experience taking private lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studio for our wedding…read moredance. Our instructor, Kage Hart, was incredibly encouraging, patient, and helpful throughout the entire process. He made us feel comfortable right away and broke everything down in a way that made learning easy and fun. Kage really took the time to make sure the dance fit us as a couple and helped build our confidence so we could enjoy the moment on our wedding day. If you're preparing for your first dance, I highly recommend working with Kage and the team at Fred Astaire. It was such a fun part of our wedding journey and made our first dance feel so special!

If you're even thinking about taking lessons at Fred Astaire Dance Studios for your wedding--do it…read more Truly. It might end up being one of your favorite parts of the entire wedding experience. My now husband and I walked in with big dreams for our first dance... and very questionable coordination. We had enthusiasm, an idea for a song we loved, and approximately zero idea what to do with our feet. Somehow, our Kaylin and Kage turned us into a couple who didn't just shuffle side to side--we actually danced. Like, spins! Timing! Moments where we looked at each other and thought, "Wait... was that us?!" What made it so special wasn't just the final dance (which felt like pure magic on the day of), but everything leading up to it. Those lessons became time we carved out just for the two of us during the chaos of wedding planning. We laughed a lot, occasionally got tangled up, and somehow left every lesson feeling more confident--not just on the dance floor, but as a team. The Kaylin and Kage have this incredible way of making you feel comfortable, even when you're convinced you have two left feet. They celebrate every little win and somehow turn mistakes into part of the fun. By the time our wedding came around, we weren't nervous--we were actually excited to dance in front of everyone (which is not something I ever thought I'd say). Our first dance ended up being one of the most memorable, joy-filled moments of the entire day--and we owe a huge part of that to them. 10/10--would marry my husband again just to take those lessons.

My now 10 year old just started ballet a few months ago and will be able to dance in the magnificent Nutcracker that the studio puts on every year. This production is beautiful and professional. All three of my girls have not only personally benefited from the discipline of dance, but they absolutely loved this studio. Very grateful that my girls have had the opportunity to dance here.

My daughter started dancing here about 6 years ago. It's one of the largest performing arts…read morestudios around. They don't focus on "flash", but more so on the quality of the basics. The faculty that has been assembled here are all highly sought after. Many of them are asked to teach seminars across the country and even overseas. They offer a variety of dance disciplines including classical ballet, hip hop, jazz, tap and contemporary. Every winter, the studio presents one of the finest "Nutcracker" ballet's performed by students. The time and energy that the staff and owners put into this performance is astounding. It allows the students to experience the big stage with all the lights and effects that are mostly reserved for professional artists. Finally, you know your child will be getting a strong performing arts experience here when they audition for national summer intensive programs such as the American Ballet Theatre, Joffrey and the School of American Ballet, to name just a few, and are accepted time and time again. My daughter auditioned for the first time last year. We didn't expect anything going into this process being our first try. However, the acceptances came rolling in one after the other. The process continues this year with similar results. I couldn't be happier to have chosen this studio for my daughter. She has gained physical strength, agility and grace through the various classes she has taken. More importantly It has increased her self esteem and confidence to a whole new level. My daughter has found a passion for dance that she will carry forever. I have since enrolled my younger daughter and son for classes. They too have gained much since enrolling. If any of the previous posts have turned you off to this studio, I suggest you take a personal look for yourself. You'll be glad you did.
