I reached out to Isha from their website, and was blown away by how kind and helpful she was. I was toying with the idea of doing a private dance class, and she was eager to help, but unfortunately the timing wasn't quite right. In the end, we decided to attend the Beginners Bollywood Dance class together. I could not believe it was only $5. If I lived in Ojai, I'd be there every week, and telling all my friends about it! The class was energetic, approachable, fun, and a great work out. We had SO MUCH FUN. And Isha was an incredible instructor. She helped us take some cute pictures before the class began, and allowed our group to do the choreography together just us so we could record it. I cannot recommend Dance Ojai highly enough!

There are also other scheduled events - like Tuesday Bingo, Friday night dinners, and the occasional BBQ or Veteran Motorcycle run. Big patio in the back with another pool table, a BBQ pit and horseshoes....in addition to a kitchen facility and fully stocked bar.

I will always be grateful for my excellent teachers, they shaped me into the dancer and person I am today.

Starlight gives children an opportunity to get better at something that they love and enjoy every step of the way. I highly recommend sending your kids to this studio!
