It's been a year since I started dancing at Arthur Murray, and I wanted to share an update. What…read morebegan as something fun and new has grown into a really rewarding hobby that I look forward to every week. Over the past year, I've expanded into new dance styles and started focusing on the finer details--like arm styling and hip movement, not just footwork. I've joined the dance team, performed in group showcases, and taken part in coaching lessons with incredible visiting instructors who've given me professional feedback to grow from. When my first instructor, Valerie, moved and transferred to another Arthur Murray studio, I wasn't sure what to expect--but I was left in great hands. Angela, my new main instructor, has been amazing at challenging me and helping me push my limits. I've also taken lessons with Alexia and Nathan, and all three have supported my growth with their unique styles and encouragement. One big milestone this year has been dancing in front of others through demos. It's helped me shake off nerves, have fun with mistakes, and just keep dancing. My confidence has grown immensely--I now step onto the dance floor excited, not anxious. I've even started receiving compliments on my leading and technique, which feels incredibly rewarding. If you're thinking about trying dance, I can't recommend Arthur Murray enough. But here's the key: don't just take a lesson or two--immerse yourself in the full experience. Take lessons weekly, go to group classes, attend the parties. You'll get so much more out of it if you fully embrace the experience.

My youngest who's also in the dance competition team has grown so much, not just as a dancer but the studio has taught her discipline, teamwork and self-confidence. The teachers are amazing and you can tell they love teaching their passion in dancing. Miss. Sabrina, the Jazz teacher is the best, she's always encouraging, supporting and very patient with new dance moves. She pushes her dance team to their fullest potential. We also love Miss. Tajah, Hip Hop teacher, she has the dance energy the dancers feed off of. Everyone in her class always have so much fun. Miss Juju and Teacher AJay- challenges the dancers with fun and unique dance techniques/choreographies. Come check out some the teachers' choreography awards at the studio! And last but not least, Mrs. Margie, the director - throughout the years since we've been there, we've experienced her dedication and commitment to her dancers and the studio. You truly see a dance family growing at JOSDS. Mrs. Margie build special bonds and relationships with her dancers from the start. There are dancers who's been dancing with the studio since they were young dancers and are now older doing dance competitions and are in advance classes. I love seeing my two dancers enjoying and looking forward to their dance classes every week. I definitely see their growth throughout the dance session. So no doubt, I would recommend JuJu OnStage Dance Studio! Go JOSDS!!!

Great party especially for girls 8 to 12 years that may have grown out of other themed parties. I had Shake it Up invites so they made a Shake It Up mix and played songs from the show. Outrageously cost effective considering I didn't even have to clean up afterwards but just pack the gifts in my car and go. I love Mrs. Margie & JuJu's Onstage Dance!

I've been looking for a dance studio for a while and was so grateful to find En Pointe. My 5yrs old…read moredaughter went to Summer dance camp and loved it there so much we enrolled her for Ballet, Jazz and Hula for the fall/winter. We also enrolled her 3yrs old sister for Ballet. What sold me on this studio was when I watched Hazel, the owner reminded the children to be respectful of their Team Leaders at Summer dance camp. Ms. Hazel's demeanor is kind, gentle yet firm. You can tell she truly cares about her students and also teaches them good character. The older dancers were also good role models and well mannered. I wanted my girls to be at a place where they can learn to dance in a positive environment and grow with as a family. I can say we've found it here at En Pointe. I also wanted to share my experience with my 3yrs old. For the first 3 or 4 classes, she would cry and would not stay or participate in class without me there. I was thinking about withdrawing her and Hazel understood. She didn't make me feel bad or tried to talk me out of it. Then that next class, my daughter didn't cry and I didn't need to be there. Apparently she found it comforting to dance side by side with Ms. Tiffany. Eventually, Ms. Tiffany would get her back in line with the other dancers but it worked. From then on she went to class and participated and they are practicing for the winter recital now. I love how the instructors connect with each child to build a trusting relationship. Now my daughter gets excited and goes to class even before I tell her to. In summary, I'm giving 5 stars because: 1. Great location 2. Kind, organized Owner always has a smile on her face and very prompt with any emails or texts. 3. Professional and Patient instructors 4. Well mannered older dancers which are good role models for my young children 5. Relax atmosphere for parents and non dancing children in the waiting room 6. Gorgeous studio. Love their glitter wall. 7. I don't know anything about dance or techniques but my girls are learning quick and I see their developments and excited to see their recital this December. 8. Love the big screen TV in the waiting room where we can watch our dancers from. 9. The Dance Recital Costumes are so cute!!! 10. I see my girls dancing here long term and growing up with their classmates. It's a family environment here. Many if not all of the kids gets along so well. I would definitely recommend En Pointe to my friends and family.

After a lifetime of enjoying middle eastern music and admiring bellydancers from afar, I finally…read moregot up the courage to give it a try myself as part of my new years resolutions for 2012. I went to a couple different classes from different teachers in the city, one of which was Asia's Saturday class at City Dance. Although I mostly flailed around that first class, I was really moved by the power of dancing to live music and the grace that the other, more experienced dancers showed. Serendipitously, Asia was starting up her beginning bellydance class at Ocean Yoga in Pacifica on Wednesdays that very week. I have been going to one or both of these classes every week for the past 9 months and couldn't be happier. If I had to describe Asia's teaching style in one word, it would be "well-rounded." For starters, Asia is a literal treasure-trove of knowledge about middle eastern dances. She shows us many different moves and routines from traditional cultural dances and often talks a little bit about the history of them. I enjoy her classes specifically because she provides a firm foundation like this, but then shows us ways to draw from these different traditions to make new routines and styles. Her knowledge and passion extends well beyond just the dancing, though. She has a strong musical background (also her husband is one of the Saturday class drummers) and often talks about how to interpret the music and connect it with the movements and pattern of the dance. She highly encourages us to work with zils--even when we hate it--specifically so that we are more connected to the music. I have ZERO musical background and have learned so much about understanding rhythms and parts of a song from this alone. She also has many hilarious stories from her personal history as a professional dancer. I've seen many people come and go from the class, likely because they are intimidated by the work and commitment it takes to really get good (Ive been doing weekly classes for nine months and im still discovering new muscle groups in my hips and low back). But if you are committed to learning the dance, or even if all you want to do is come out and have fun and flail around to live music and learn a little bit about the art of another culture, then Asia's classes are the place to be.

I have been studying with Asia for several months and I LOVE her classes. Asia is so knowledgeable…read moreabout all aspects of belly dance and middle east dance and music. Her Saturday class is so great because there are live drummers that really get you going. She has us practice with veil and zills, making sure we're well rounded dancers.

Highly recommend her as a teacher and performer.
