We were having fun!!
Cici L.

Loved Paul's energy and FUN practices! I had doubts before coming to the studio- wasn't sure if I really know how to "act" or improv. After 2 hours of activities, I was definitely more confident presenting myself on stage. Highly recommend :)

Came here with my colleagues and did not know what to expect. It was my first time going to a class like this! I am so glad I went because it was all fun, and a great learning experience. Paul was a great teacher and he explained how each practice could benefit us in our workplace. I will be back!

While there are some negative reviews on here that are not completely false, I def have to disagree…read morethat this place is not worth it. Far from it!! My daughter had been in pre-ballet at another studio for almost 4 years (ages 5-8.75) and once she was moved up to ballet 1 and schedule changed, I had to find another studio with a more suitable schedule (due to my work schedule) that was worth the $ and time. Then I found this place and met Mr. Ling, while my daughter attended the Sunday class on trial that Lily was teaching. That was over 4 years ago! And even though the schedule was also inconvenient as was the 30min commute, I made arrangements with a family member to be able to drive my daughter there for a long time so that she can continue to receive the ballet training that is provided there. My daughter had done trial classes in several other places but the attention to technique and form was unmatched anywhere else. Mr. Ling, his daughter, and Lily corrected the students to the point where my daughter felt targeted. My daughter had to learn not to take things personal and to apply correction when given. Now she feels ignored if there is no criticism. It turns out, my daughter learned very little in her previous years in dance (it was more performance based) and in the years since she's been there, she has improved TREMENDOUSLY! Not only is she learning proper technique, I have learned so much from Mr. Ling that I appreciate the dance form so much more because I understand it so much better now! She is still not a great dancer and one of those that struggles more than the others but she has become such a strong and disciplined young lady. I frequently receive many compliments on how graceful and well behaved she is. I feel it is mostly because of the culture and values instilled at Elite Ballet. Mrs. Ling is a Yumiko seller=15% discount+free shipping), they are very supportive of one another and help each other to improve and the summer intensive classes are really impressive as well as reg class and there's not one day my daughter doesn't come out sweating! Yes, there were unexpected costs for performances but you quickly learn that after ur first time. Nothing is for free and still in comparison to other studios, Elite is very reasonably priced. They actually just increased slightly but is still far more affordable than other places. Do the math. And yes, they do insist on purchasing whatever they suggest but really, Mr. Ling is top-notch! As a former ABT principal dancer, he knows his stuff! Most places will understandably deter a student from taking other classes from other places only because it can cause confusion or create injuries. This place is strictly classical ballet and for those who are passionate about becoming good ballet dancers. It is the foundation for all dance forms.

Our kids had class in this school for couple years. When I first talked to the owner, he seemed to…read morehave passion about the ballet. After a while, I realized that it's all about money. The class usually have about 20 students especially the beginning class. There's only 1 instructor without any assistant. He rarely would tell you what went wrong when the student made a mistake in ballet steps. He expected the students to follow others & correct their own mistakes. To be honest, they're small kids, they'd not know what went wrong unless you told them. Also a lot of time, he'd just have his 15 or 16 year old daughter to teach Ballet I class. It's fine if she worked as an assistant but not as an instructor. Also if you don't go to their summer intensive class which is 3 hours/ day for Sat & Sun in summer. They'd just ignore your kids, won't tell them if they're doing good or not and not even dare to remember their name. Also the students would never be able to promote to an advanced class if you don't go to the summer camp. They only have 1 show a year through audition so the younger kids rarely have chance to be on stage. Other schools usually have at least 2 shows a year with 1 show be the showcase and all the kids could participate. I definitely don't recommend this ballet school.

Here's your translation:…read more My son has decent athletic ability. At four, he could climb a pole at the park, and by five, he was riding a bike without training wheels. So, I enrolled him in this street dance class. After a year, he still can't do anything. The teacher probably doesn't even know the basics, like the Thomas spin, yet started teaching others. We've decided to stop wasting time with this useless street dance class. If you want your child to actually learn something, don't come here. If you just want to waste your own and your child's time, feel free to sign up. --------------------------------- Reply to this owner: Obviously, my son has been attending classes with you. You're trying to dodge responsibility by claiming he hasn't. I'll be coming tomorrow to cancel your terrible and useless course. Also, your response will be shared with everyone. Not only do you fail at teaching dance, but your attitude is poor, and you have a habit of shifting blame.

My daughter has been a student at Ballet Kukan for the past 9 years. I have seen her abilities grow…read moreso much in that time. She loves the annual recital performances and joined the Ballet Kukan Theatrical Company competition team last year. There are a lot of kids in her age group who have been dancing at Ballet Kukan for years, but still new kids occasionally join and are welcomed into the community. I really value the skills and confidence she has gained under Ms. Noriko's instruction. She has had different teachers over the years, but two of her current teachers (besides Ms. Noriko) are Ms. Angie and Mr. Julian; she has good things to say about them as well. Ms. Elena who handles all the administration at the front desk really cares about the kids too.

I am pretty new to Latin and my teacher Oleg is the best!!! I've only been dancing for a month and…read morepeople keep complimenting me on how much I've improved! I can see it myself. Starting I never felt like a confident or sexy person because I always saw myself as cute, not sexy. Haha but dancing with Oleg I felt more comfortable with being "sexy" because if you have good technique, the sexiness will come naturally. (: Oleg definitely has good technique, you can see it in his dance and the way he teaches. Remember the name, OLEG.

Best ever random, spur of the moment activity! My bf and I took the 5 lesson package with Oleg last…read moreJune just for fun and something new to do. At first, I wasn't sure if we could even pull off dance lessons just because that isn't our forte. However, after initially speaking with Oleg, I knew we could pull it off. He was very easy to talk to and even helped select the final song. Our dance choice was the Viennese Waltz and it was amazing. The 5 lessons were just enough and his instructions were very clear and helpful. He helped shape the 3 min. dance so it was appropriate to the space/venue and to our comfort level. To this day, I can't believe my bf and I pulled it off! We were so nervous but everyone said it looked like Dancing with the Stars. The dance is so special and I'll remember it forever thanks to Oleg's help. If you have any doubt in choosing him, feel free to direct message me. He is absolutely amazing and so patient that I would definitely recommend him to anyone. Oh , don't forget to check in!
