Yes, your…read morechild will receive top notch dance instruction, in a fun, supportive environment...but LDI is more than just a dance studio, it is a lovely community where each dancer's sense of self and confidence are nurtured and encouraged. My daughter loves her teachers and dancing here, and as a mom (and someone whose own experience in dance was the old school approach where you were pushed beyond what was actually appropriate for your young body/mind) I appreciate that proper form and alignment are taught, even from a very early age, in a way that is recognizes her as an individual and builds her self esteem. And although the owners and instructors here are former professional dancers and each accomplished in their own rights, I love that the message at this studio is "LDI for all", whether your goal is for a future in the dance world, or just a nurturing environment for your child to learn discipline and movement. 5 stars!!!

My 6-year old daughter has been attending LDI for about 1.5 years and participated in 1-week of their Jr. Ballet Intensive summer programs this week. So much was covered in 5-days and she was excited to share about the yoga session, wellness session, learning choreography, ballet, jazz, hip-hop! The 30-minute show at the end of the week was so impressive! We are grateful to have found this studio and would recommend them over and over again!

From the moment I first messaged them, they were extremely professional and genuinely excited to perform at my daughter's Taylor Swift-themed Sweet 16. They asked thoughtful questions about her music preferences and completely customized both the performance and the outfits just for her. They also did beautiful ambient performances during cocktail hour and again later in the evening, which was such a perfect touch. On top of that, they changed outfits three times to match different vibes throughout the night! I received so much praise and amazing feedback about them from our guests -- they truly took the event to the next level. They were total sweethearts and even brought my daughters up on the Lyra so they could take pictures -- such a special and unforgettable moment. We loved them so much that we even took a private class with Carolina and Ana afterward, and by the end they had both my daughter and me flying (even though it is so hard -- major respect!). It gave us an even deeper appreciation for their talent, strength, and energy. We are truly in awe and couldn't recommend them more highly!

What can we say other than we love SoCal Dance! Our daughter has been searching for a dance studio…read moreever since her studio closed. It can be challenging to find a dance studio where there's no to minimal favoritism and where it's run professionally. We finally found the perfect studio for our daughter and she is attending her 2nd year now. SoCal is run by a studio owner who really cares about the team culture of the students. She makes the dancers feel like one big family. Pros- 1- Option for Convention and Competition Team. 2- Large new facility. 3- Organized and professional. 4- A wide range of dance classes such as: ballet, pointe, hip hop, jazz, tap, and more. 5- Fair pricing. 6- The studio owner is very involved and is a great support to the dancers. Cons- 1- No novice adult dance classes for moms that are wannabe dancers (like me) :(

I can't say enough about the owner Angela who teaches my daughters class. She is so good with the kids and so sweet! Definitely recommend if you are looking to start your little one in ballet/tap! Update: We have loved sending our daughter here, but since we don't live in the area, we looked at another dance studio down the street from us. It did not compare to Scripps. There is such a warm family environment feeling when you walk into the studio, and all the teachers are amazing! Can't wait for her to be in the Nutcracker this year!

Edit to add: In the studio's response to this review they've lied. Plainly, the director was 45…read moreminutes late to my kids auditions. We agreed to meet at 3pm and she showed up at 3:45, I've included pictures of the emails so it's pretty crazy they are even refusing to take accountability for that. We only showed up for the classes recommended to our kids. I don't know what other times their classes are, and they admitted that they assigned us to the wrong class, so again, it's crazy that they're denying that now because this is a public forum. The gaslighting is honestly crazy. Mrs Angela IGNORED emails where I asked for clarification on my children's placement. When I asked the teachers in person how we could improve (after confirming it was a good time to talk and talking privately in their office), I was told that questioning their placement decisions was disrespectful. No mention of how my kids could actually improve. There were no behavioral issues, no failure to achieve specific goals, just "this is our placement decision, we don't need to give you reasons, it's disrespectful to question it." This lady doesn't care about kids. If she did, she would have been compassionate to my 6 and 3 year olds who were crying that they couldn't perform. She just doesn't like to admit that her business is poorly run so she ignores problems and kicks people out who try to discuss it. They treat the kids like paychecks, act accommodating when you sign up, and then just move people around as they see fit to make more room in classes or ensembles, regardless of the effect on the children. It's honestly harmful to the kids, who think they did something wrong (and again, the studio couldn't actually list anything we had done wrong). But this studio would rather tell a 3 and 6 year old that they are not good enough than admit their clerical errors. Don't expose your kids to this. Original review below: AVOID AT ALL COSTS! They have terrible office staff who misplaced my children. When they were told the proper level A MONTH after class began, they provided no help on how our daughter could stay with the friends she had made. They will take your deposits and change your schedule no questions asked. And if you do ask questions, they will call you "disrespectful." Absolutely disgusting way to treat children. They literally just take your deposit and do whatever they want with your children. Not a single class started on time and the owner was 45 minutes late to a meeting with me. Worst business I've ever dealt with.

He enthusiastically said yes, so I purchased the larger container. Found my seat and started to eat some. Although I put a small dent in the contents, I brought the rest back to the BNB to enjoy later. But when paying a premium for "gourmet popcorn" one would think every piece would be delicious ang a whole kernel of popcorn. A fourth of my container was bits and pieces of non edible popcorn as I found this out later in the evening. Sadly I don't think if that is considered gourmet. I'll pass.
