We tried a few places but nothing compared to the warmth and talent of the awesome teachers and company coaches of Studio650 (formerly CDBN). Six years later, I would never change our decision and my girls are thriving and happy on their company teams and have made the best friends. Most of all, we feel blessed that the girls have so many teammates to look up to and who look out for one another. The team and parent-coach camaraderie is amazing. A true gem in the cut-throat Menlo Park/Palo Alto area.

Not impressed. After 3 months my 3 year old charge quit taking classes here because she was never…read moreexcited about her ballet/tap class and would rather stay home and play. She typically LOVES taking classes (she still does tumbling and art/song classes and looks forward to them). Our ballet/tap classes were held in the studios across El Camino on Oak Grove. This facility is tired and not well maintained. The entire three months we attended class there, the one drinking fountain was broken. I got two different excuses when I told employees. Why not install a free standing water cooler? Each class of 10+ kids and their siblings and parents in the waiting room = a lot of thirsty people. Curiously the viewing window was just big enough for a few of us to compete for space to watch or take pictures. That makes no sense for a children's class- parents are ALWAYS going to want to watch and this set up is not conducive to that at all. There isn't adequate seating and many parents had to sit on the floor or stand for the entire class (that we cannot see). Ridiculous. The school's communication is lacking as well. During the second class they measured her for a costume for recital coming up in May, but didn't say a word to me. A parent that watched them measure and knew about the recital told me afterwards. I asked one of the employees that was there the following week and she said we needed to pay $50 for the costume they were going to get for her and that I should email her for details. Ummm...who are you? What is your email? Why didn't you email US about all of this as we enrolled online? Very sloppy.

For six years Luna Dance has been a community and home for me, my nine year old son and my six year…read moreold daughter. At pickup, my daughter is joking and laughing with friends not wanting to leave. Nadeen and all the teachers inspire and invigorate their students--highlighting the importance of confidence and believing in themselves--all the while motivating them to do their best and achieve excellence. The choreography and range of technique is amazing. More importantly, the social emotional learning is very special - especially in dance. The recitals are so so well put together, with professional sound, lighting, costume, and choreography, which is surreal considering that it organizes hundreds of kids into so many back-to-back ~3 minute dances. Luna also feels like a space for inclusion whether the kids are rapidly advancing in skills and there to be with friends and have fun. My daughter has done 4 recitals, and I've done 8 (in the adult hip hop class). We've loved every minute and can't recommend it enough!

I had never taken dance lessons before going to Luna Del Soul, and deciding to try it out has been…read moreone of the best choices I've made. I wanted to learn something new and meet people, and after four months of salsa classes, it's been a tremendous experience. The studio itself is cozy, welcoming, and has a nice, spacious wooden dance floor that makes learning comfortable and fun. The instructors are highly skilled, great communicators, and genuinely fun to learn from. Every class is engaging and well-paced, and there's always a few good laughs! I've also met a lot of friendly and encouraging classmates, which has made the studio feel like a real community. It's a very comfortable environment. I really appreciate how the classes are structured. We start with a quick icebreaker, move into learning a routine (often with shines), and end with social dancing. Rotating partners throughout class is a huge plus as it gives you experience dancing with different styles and skill levels and helps you grow faster. Beyond classes, the studio hosts fun events like weekly Saturday social dancing, with styles rotating throughout the month (for example, salsa on the second Saturday). I also attended their Winter Gala earlier this month and was blown away by the performances. It truly felt like watching a live episode of Dancing with the Stars. Whether you're a complete beginner looking to try something new and meet great people, or an advanced dancer wanting to level up, I highly recommend checking out Luna Del Soul.

Okay, as far as I know, it's the only place that offers adult contemporary. Luckily, it's a great class. Adrienne Foley is a beautiful, relevant, and attentive instructor. I am thrilled to have found her class at Zohar. Kristine Elliott's ballet class was challenging and fun. Unfortunately, I'm usually unavailable during her classes. After Adrienne's class on Mondays, a group of flamencos wait to start their class. It's so great to have a studio nearby with several options of dance styles. The studio is down the long drive off of Middlefield and left, once you get to the parking lot. Parking can get hairy at 6pm (parents picking up their kiddos), but if the large lot fills up, there's plenty of street parking.

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!
