We love DiD. For their 1st year DiD opened. An honor for Mike Redmond. A man/husband/father that…read morewill always be in our hearts for eternity. He wanted a change in the dance studios to be more productive in life for any child or adult. That's in school,college, or just want some great exercise. He wanted to help all clienteles to Focus on you being happy, to have fun in dance, learn and keep on top of your studies for school. They give you tools to keep you educated, give guidance, motivation, courage and support. I believe in the business that it was made for. My daughter believes, as well. She got lucky at the very end of the year to be in a group dance for DiD 1st Nationals @ Disneyland,CA. It turned into a trio and being able to dance with Caitlin & Nevaeh felt like she was walking on water. Madison really wanted to be in more group dances, but she was blessed to be in what she could for DiD. With her solo, Trio and be apart of photo shoot (Which was a blast to her). Our heart and soul will be forever with DiD. We love all the coaches. They are so amazing. We had the opportunity to watch Madelynn grow into a phenomenal successful talented woman, watch Stephanie dominate heartbreak into a scorching and thriving career with her blessed talents in beauty and in the art of dance. Madison has a bond with Stephanie that's unbreakable. We love the Redmond family so much. I'm so proud of Chas,Caitlin,Brennan and Zoe in all they do for DiD! They are a loving and spiritual family that I'm proud to be apart of. We recommend this studio for anyone that wants to dance for a purpose, find yourself in a positive space, and learn from the best. Come and visit and you will see how amazing it is.

You won't get to start a revolution here, but you can start an Evolution for sure. This is the dance studio that close friends, other friends and family members use, and we will drive like an hour out of our way to bring a kid here, Barbi's niece usually. This is the dance studio that is the go-to out of the ones we've experienced, as it's just on another level and is priced similarly to a lot of others but with much better service and much better lessons for that matter.

I will admit that I have no training in any culturally rich aspects of life (art, dance, music,…read moreetc.) but I know when I'm in the presence of excellence. The instructors and staff are a delight to be around. Ashley, Lauren, Nicole, and Quincy are not only hard working and organized people, but they genuinely care about the well being and advancement of my children's artistic drive. It is hard to find businesses that supersede the mundane grind of mediocrity. Businesses in today's world are apathetic or just performing at "good enough" levels. I'm proud to be a member of such an innovative and professional company. They are such a pleasant group to be around. Also their prices are excellent and fair. Looking forward to many more years at this establishment.

I saw an ad on Facebook and realized this location is very close to our home. I signed up my 5 year…read moreold son for a free tryout and we were immediately scheduled for a Saturday 11:15-12:15 time slot. I got an email and a voicemail, which was kinda nice because i hardly ever check my emails! We got there and the parking lot was packed. Turns out there's an event for the little ballerinas. My son, who is timid around girls, didn't quite like what he's seeing right off the bat. Fortunately, there's 2 entrances. One labeled DANCE and the other door labeled THEATER. We got in the THEATER door and there's one lady sitting at the small couch by the door. Nobody was on the front desk. We weren't very sure what to do so I checked the other entrance (DANCE) and it was packed with parents watching their kiddos from a glass partition. I went back to our room and just told my boys to just sit back and wait for his turn. It was a comfortable and clean waiting area. I can see that it's fairly new (?). Or maybe the paint is new. They decorated the lounge with Christmas decor. While we waited, we can hear another child and an older lady practicing behind the door to the performance area. At around 11:10, a little girl and the lady instructor came out of the doors and the lady waiting outside is the girl's mom. Turns out they're also trying out that day. My son is so shy when the lady approached him. But I kinda shoved him in the door to the theater and quickly closed the doors behind him. I was waiting for screams and crying but surprisingly, he just tagged along her. So, my hubby and older son and I waited outside the door listening intently to their lines. My older son peeled under the door so he's been giving us a preview of what's going on inside. This shy little boy, my oh my, surprised us with his willingness to cooperate. We can hear him bounce around and sing and say the lines with the teacher. We were really impressed! The only thing that we thought was quite disruptive was the group of little girl ballerinas that came in the theater and that I think pretty much threw my kiddo off. Considering the fact that he's not comfortable around other girls. So, the instructor had to move him to a different room where they played with the piano. And then, when the little girls were done rehearsing, the teacher moved him back to the theater again while another guy was doing some maintenance work in there. He pretty much lost his momentum with all the distraction. He came out around 12 so he didn't really finish the extra 15 mins (despite all the disruptions). The lady said he did great overall. As we walked him out, we asked how he liked it. He said he didn't like it. and it's probably because of all ballerinas that walked in and the other distractions. Or he could've just been psyching us as he usually says the opposite. The prices are reasonable so maybe in the spring I just might push him in the door for a second try at theater. He just might LIKE it!

My husband and I have been taking lessons from Annette Farrell at Smooth Dancer for a couple of…read moreyears. When we started, he had never danced and could not even keep time to music. In the 15 years before our lessons, we never danced together. Now we are at the intermediate level and members of a social dance club. We do 11 dances. We went on a cruise a couple of months after we began lessons and spent all of our nights dancing. We got compliments on our dancing every night, and one lady even asked us to teach her the dance we were doing! Annette really wants you to learn and believes that anyone can. Her saying is "If you can walk, you can dance." Be prepared, though: she is a feisty red-head, and there is no doubt who is in control when you walk into her studio.

I try to leave a review when trying out a new venture. I have been taking dance lessons here for…read moreone month. Honestly, I didn't look at a lot of companies when trying to decide where to start taking beginner lessons... just because once I've found something I want to pursue - I do. I've gotten several questions about this place lately so in update ... Overall take: 1. Annette, the owner, responded to all initial inquiries quickly, which lead me to check it out and sign up. 2. The lessons move at a fine pace for me. I learn just enough to be challenged but not overwhelmed. Hubby (also taking the class) and I then take what we learn and practice each day. For us repetition is key. 3. I look forward to going back, and I also enjoy practicing at home and at community events when we can. For the beginner class, you don't need a partner, but if you do have one it's great for spending time together and learning to work together as a team. I am doing the beginner group lesson. Some also do the private lessons and beginner group lesson (practice session) together regularly or on occasion. Honestly, find what satisfies your goals and budget and do you. Our #1 goal is to spend time together and have fun learning to dance - which is exactly what we are doing. Best wishes ~
