They really care for their students and do the best to make sure the students are having fun and they get the right training and attention. They also offer personal lessons for kids that are still getting their feet wet with dance. You can try your first class for free with no commitment to make sure it's something that will be for your kids. On top of that it's probably one of the best monthly deals you will get here in the Valley. You also get discounts for additional siblings. The breakdance class is now being taught by Van Dinh, an allstyles dancer specializing in breakdancing, hip hop fundamentals, and choreography. you can't go wrong. Call them and set up a time for your kids! Your kids will thank you later Shawn Phan

The coaches are rude, discouraging, petty, and allow bullying. I also question where all the fundraising money goes. The owners talk extremely negatively about former families and coaches and will make up weird lies about them to anyone that will listen. The only way I am ok with the 1 star is because the facilities are nice. They are slowly becoming more and more dirty but in years past has been kept pretty clean. Avoid the unprofessionalism and embarrassment of being part of this gym and go somewhere else.

My daughter is in the 3-5 pre dance group and they can move up as they age. As of now she only goes once a week. It's for a whole hour, first they start with ballet shoes and then tap shoes. She loves her teacher. Her teacher is so friendly and knowledgeable. There's been times when my daughter is having a hard time and her teacher helps her by talking to her and letting her sit out until she's ready. The director, Nancy is also very friendly and always has a smile on her face. I'm so excited because they have a recital soon. I look forward to my daughter's dance journey here.

She looked forward to them each week. At the end she also got to keep the fairy wings they used for the pre ballet class. The teachers are very organized, understanding and do very age appropriate routines. My daughter is 4 and she had a great time following along. They had their spots on the floor, music with moves and they were taught ballet terminology of certain twirls, kicks and walking across the room with their toes pointed. Only students are allowed in the ballet room and parents can watch from the waiting area. There is 3 tv's in the waiting area. There are a lot of chairs and there is also a refill water station and two bathrooms in the lobby. On the last day they did allow parents to come into the class at the end to go over and show what students learned during the summer session! We can't wait to do this again next summer!

I have been bringing my daughter here for 12 years. That says a lot about a place. The atmosphere…read moreis warm and inviting, with that I'm talking about the people. Would we have continued coming here for 12 years if it wasn't so? During that time I've started dancing too. My sons even dance once in a while. This halau is like family and you are treated that way the moment you walk through the door. It has been great seeing my kids grow up with all their halau sisters and brothers. The wonderful ladies I dance with have all become my sisters as well. Kumu Renee is a more than qualified Kumu Hula (hula instructor). Certified at that! Not many Kumu out there are. She was taught by one of the best and it shows in her dedication to her dancers. She does not teach you simply how to dance, but you are taught the history, the culture and the language so you can dance educated. There are a lot of people out there who are taught how to dance but not taught the meaning. Hula and Tahitian dancing tells a story with every step, every sway or hand movement and she teaches us that. It's more important than learning the dance itself. Kumu Renee is very proud of her students and she encourages them through every stage of developing into the best dancer they can be. This halau is a performing halau. They do shows all of the time, for many occasions. But they also dance competitively. If you find yourself stopping by the halau you can see the many awards won in previous years. There are separate classes for the little kids, I believe the youngest dancer is 3! Then there are beginner classes, intermediate and advanced classes too. So it doesn't matter what skill level you are at, you can join. When my daughter first started here she had zero experience. After a while of course she improved and never looked back. It was one of the best decisions I've made to bring her here all those years ago. I'd do it again in a heart beat.

I didn't just want the regular workout at a gym so, I decided I wanted to get back into dancing like I did almost 20 years ago. I went on to Yelp to lookup any local halau's near me and I ran across Hula Ikaika Ohana O Kaawai-E Honu Iti E in Tracy. I spoke with Kumu Renee and she made me feel right at home from the minute I met her. It's been since July 18' that I decided to join this halau and it was the best decision I made. All my hula sisters have been welcoming and encouraging. Kumu Renee is so kind, caring and passionate about her halau and students. I'm so happy I joined!!!!

If you're getting married -- or just trying not to murder your partner in the kitchen while arguing…read moreover who left the cabinet open -- go see Heidi I came in wanting to learn a simple wedding dance. What I got was choreography, therapy, and a much-needed reminder that my partner and I actually like each other. From the moment we stepped into the studio, she made us feel like Fred and Ginger -- minus the pressure, plus a lot of laughter. They have this rare magic: patient enough to teach two left feet, sharp enough to know when to push, and funny enough to make even a stiff rehearsal feel like a date night. We walked out not just with a first dance we're proud of -- but with a little more rhythm between us too. Honestly, if you're looking for a wedding dance teacher, you just found the best. And if you're looking for a relationship tune-up disguised as a waltz? Even better. 10/10. Would recommend to anyone in love, on the rocks, or just trying to find their beat again.
