My daughter started with CoD over 4 years ago. She initially took a dance camp during the summer…read moreand loved it so much that we put her in a ballet class. From there she decided that she wanted to try out for company. She's been part of company for the past 3 years. The teachers and owners are amazingly talented people who put love into everything they do. If you are looking for a "Dance Mom" school where people are yelling or putting the kids down then you'll need to go someplace else. If you want a fun loving environment where the parents get along and help each other out and the kids are friends and get along, then CoD is the dance school for your family!

I am so grateful for the conservative dance studio and their teachers. My daughter started taking…read moredance when she was three and has benefited from their care and concern for her. She was shy and did not like change so we would sit out of class and watch until she was comfortable. She quickly adapted and became a vital part of the CofD company in her high school years and has gained genuine friendships with the other dancers; and I have enjoyed being part of the kind-and-down-to-earth dance moms. Teachers like Marco, Kelsey, Hillary, Sharon etc have challenged and guided my daughter into a beautiful dancer and person. Tasteful costumes and trendy styles and music were a plus. We CofD!

Is dance dad a thing? 'cause if it is, it's not really something I go around advertising to people,…read morebut I guess you guys can keep my secret, right? Shhhh... As a freshly sprung adult all those years ago, I used to think, I wish there was a class for people called "don't look like an idiot on the dance floor". While I never did find and admittedly, I didn't really search for either, a class aimed at young adults who don't want to look like an idiot on the dance floor, I somehow fumbled my way through my 20s, had a child in my 30s who is now a budding primary schooler. I thought to myself, what are all the really important things in life that a man should know how to do and somehow "don't look like an idiot on the dance floor" came to mind -- so here I am. A middle aged man sitting in the waiting area of a dance studio while my grade schooler learns how to dance. Sure, he looks cool doing it, he's learning coordination, he's part of a team of kids doing something together, he's getting his energy out in a productive way, he's cart wheeling, front rolling, hand standing, back bending, stomping, popping, locking, pointing in a hip-hop-esq way but what is most important here is that when he becomes an adult, he'll be able to roll up to da club and show up all those other posers who only wish that they "didn't look like an idiot on the dance floor". No amount of best value for your money, conveniently located hip-hop, tumbling, tap, or ballet classes can even compare to the satisfaction he will have when he's in his 20s and ruling the roost. To my 21 year old son making bad decisions in life, I dedicate this review to you. Now please just let me get through these multiple days per week watching you fumble around on the dance floor trying to keep up with the kids next to you while you shake your tiny little groove thing!

They've gone the way of everyone else; only the stars matter. Everyone else who has been keeping their lights on for years has been banished to level one purgatory and told they will never do X or Y. Excuse me but becoming a professional ballerina was never the goal for us. We just wanted to get exercise, learn discipline, and have fun, not retire at 25 with a permanently damaged body while living on food stamps. ‍ If you have a child on the spectrum, I highly recommend finding an alternative. This studio is not neuroinclusive; they'll keep your kid down year after year after year until you finally get the hint and show yourself out the door. Spark, sometimes human beings matter more than the number of girls you brag about sending to summer intensives. You can still put on a beautiful production while allowing autistic girls to progress with their peers (not talking about pointe, talking about dignity and inclusivity).

I was very young and naive when we joined the studio and was there 6 years from 2016 when they opened until 2021 when we left. We outgrew the studio politics but another side note is we appreciate the experience ad we did learn a lot of what not to do as well as what we did like going forward for what's best for our children. Which we realize does not fit every families list of priorities. Like I said do your research and find what's best for YOUR FAMILY. In a nutshell I do recommend the business but not long term most likely short term. 2.5 stars

Not only have they grown tremendously as dancers, but they've also grown into more confident, kind, and hardworking young people. The teachers genuinely care about each child and are so intentional about helping them become the best dancers -- and the best people -- they can be. The CCT is wonderful and so friendly. They create such a positive, welcoming environment for families. They are organized, approachable, and always willing to help, which makes everything run so smoothly. As a parent, it brings so much peace of mind knowing our girls are part of such a supportive and well-run community. My older daughter has had the opportunity to be a demonstrator, and it has been such a special experience for her. She loves having the little girls look up to her, and it has helped her grow in leadership and confidence in such a meaningful way. The studio also provides so many amazing performance opportunities, which has helped both of my girls build confidence and shine on stage. Along the way, they've made lasting friendships and memories we will cherish forever. We are beyond grateful for everything Take Five Dance Academy has poured into our family. It is truly a special place. We look forward to many more years with Take Five Dance Academy!

As a parent, I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Take Five Dance Academy. My daughter…read morestarted here at just 3 years old, and now at 17, we are still just as in love with this studio as we were on day one. Over the years, Take Five has done so much more than teach her how to dance. They have helped mold her into the confident, disciplined, kind, and hardworking young woman she is today. The teachers genuinely care about each dancer--not just about technique, but about character, leadership, and responsibility. Through competitions, performances, late-night rehearsals, and countless classes, she has learned commitment, teamwork, and resilience. The staff has always created a positive, encouraging environment while still pushing the dancers to be their very best. Watching her grow from a tiny 3-year-old in a tutu to a strong, dedicated 17-year-old leader has been one of the greatest blessings, and Take Five has been a huge part of that journey. This studio is truly a second home and a second family. If you are looking for a place where your child will grow not only as a dancer but as a person, Take Five Dance Academy is it. We are forever grateful.

My youngest daughter has been going to LA Dance for the past several years and we love the…read moreteachers, owner and studio. We started well before COVID hit and was so happy that they quickly adapted during COVID and kept the classes going for the kiddos (it was virtual of course, but knowing the routine was still there helped to keep my daughter engaged.) Now that things are getting more back to normal, I am even more impressed with the studio and all they have to offer. They offer a variety of classes on weeknights and Saturday. I am so thankful that the classes are all after school and work times. While I know some younger kids could potentially go to class during the day if a parent was free, I greatly appreciate that the norm is not a class in the middle of a work day, this greatly helps with working parents. My daughter has been in 3 levels of combo classes so far and we have loved them. The combo class lets the kiddos do both Tap and Ballet and they normally have 2 recitals a year. As the kids get older they normally gravitate to 1 type of class, which we are hoping to do that in the fall when class schedules come out. The studio also has company dancers who have a lot more practices and competitions. I love that this is an option for the future, but it isn't pushed on the kiddos. All the kiddos that I have seen in the company truly love dancing and are treated like a family. I am not sure my daughter will ever want to do something like that, but I can greatly appreciate the spirit and trust that is given to Lora (owner) and the teachers. If you are interested in a class, give them a call. I know when we started they offered a free trial class to see if your kiddo liked dancing, which is amazing since not all kids like dance classes. We love LA Dance and will continue to have our girls take classes there as long as they want.
