RICA dance studio was amazing, I reached out to them regarding a flash mob style for my proposal, and they were very communicative and able to exceed expectations. 16 students and all of their parents were wonderful on making my special day a reality from what I had envisioned. I cannot recommend them enough for all of their efforts and beautiful choreography. read more

We had an amazing experience with RICA Dance Studio! Coach Anna was incredible -- knowledgeable, patient, and so talented. My husband and I came to her just one month before our wedding with no dance experience at all, asking for a choreographed dance. She listened carefully to our song choice and created a beautiful, fun routine that made us feel confident and comfortable. Coach Anna was flexible with our schedule, always punctual, and her rates were very reasonable -- especially compared to other studios we had contacted. She was truly the only one who offered exactly what we needed. Thanks to her, our first dance was a huge hit at our wedding! We couldn't be happier and highly recommend RICA Dance Studio and Coach Anna for any of your dance needs. read more

With only 5 weeks left until our wedding day, Mrs. Ana accepted the challenge of choreographing and teaching my fiancé and I a dance routine for our first dance. She assessed our skill level (which was closer to zero than 10) and she worked with us to make our first dance, a beautiful moment that we will always remember. She was super kind and super patient and super experienced. If you were thinking about looking for a dance class or a dance teacher, then look no further. Thank you again, Mrs. Ana! read more

At the age of 2, my daughter would hear music and her body and feet would just move! We knew she'd be a dancer at some point. We found Rica Dance, and took her in for a class, and we instantly fell in love with the studio. It's been a year since we joined, and it has been such a positive and rewarding experience for my daughter. Mrs Anna Rica treats each student with such love and compassion, you just can't help but feel like she's family. She provides a variety of different styles of dance, and teaches it all with such passion. My daughter is part of the mini competition team, and when Mrs Anna has a vision..it truly comes alive through these girls on stage! We are truly blessed to be a part of this amazing studio! read more

I saw Rica dance kids at KAR competition in Riverside and it was super impressive. The choreography's message was really great, very creative, and thought provoking. I congratulated to Anna Rica Lopez the owner choreographer, she was very nice and clearly she is loved and appreciated by her dance students. read more

Brought my daughter to Rica Dance to see if learning hip hop would be something to pique her interests. Like many parents, it's a challenge to find hobbies or activities your kids can grow to love - and though my daughter ended up not taking to dance, she and I had a great experience with Rica Dance. Our teacher, Anna, was super welcoming and inviting to our family and did everything she could to make my daughter feel comfortable, especially when she noticed that my daughter was getting shy or felt unconfident. I always appreciate the invaluable skill of engaging with students where they are at emotionally and that's why we leave such a great review. In terms of the venue - I really enjoyed the location. Tucked away in a little corner of Buena Park, their studio is spacious, but what was really cool is how they opened up the side and back of the building to allow for extra seating. On top of that, they set out a little video area so that you can watch your child practice and not embarrass them by making eye contact with them if you were to be sitting nearby (see picture). Overall, we loved it here and I cross my fingers still that one of my kids will grow to love dance because... well... dance is awesome. Thanks so much for taking care of our family! read more

The place is amazing. I recently sat in on a session and it blew me away. I was thinking of having my young cousin enroll in some classes, she thinks she can dance but after seeing these guys... long story short: the family feel, the dedication, the attention to detail all won us over. Anyone who wants to learn to dance should definitely check this spot out. read more

As a parent you always tend to worry what will spark our kids attention. You pray it is nothing but positivity that will help them grow and become amazing human beings. When I first saw my daughter on stage, I knew she was meant for it. The next step was finding the perfect studio for her to be encouraged, challenged, and learn not only dance but self discipline. I googled dance studios, let me tell you God is beautiful....He lead us to RICA Dance, Mrs. Anna truly loves all these kids as her own, she challenges these dancers to be a better version of them selves. Not only on stage but in life! They push their hearts out to not disappoint her, and it is beautiful to witness. This studio is more than a dance team, it has truly became family. If you are looking for a positive, fun, multiple technique lessons, self rewarding dance family for you and your child, stop the search now and set up your first dance lesson with Mrs. Rica herself :) read more

So great to see the classes back again!!!! I will be signing up shortly! I'm glad they moved to Buena Park (I live there) !!!!!! read more

I LOVE R.I.C.A Dance! This studio is so welcoming, so warm and has a great atmosphere! This dance studio offers a variety of dance classes and also fitness classes like Zumba, Yoga and Hip Hop Aerobics! R.I.C.A. Dance has great affordable prices so come on down and check them out! Spread the word to anyone who loves dance or wants to dance their way into fitness! You won't be disappointed! read more

One of my good friends kept raving about how much fun he's been having dancing at RICA Dance. I had absolutely no desire to take a dance class, but somehow was suckered into trying HIP HOP 1 for a day. I'm almost into my second month of class now and couldn't be more thankful that my friend convinced me to try it. The staff and instructors are really friendly and nice. The students in HIP HOP 1 are all at a basic level with me, which is nice because I (clearly) dance like a white girl. I love how everyone's so encouraging... they made me feel like family from day one. If you're looking for a family-friendly dance studio that treats you with respect. I highly recommend checking out RICA Dance. read more

I take just the fitness classes (unlimited for $35 per month) and especially enjoy the Zumba with Abe and Yoga with Stacy. The Zumba class is different from other zumba classes I have taken, because Abe is a senior at CSULB studying Dance. For a klutz like me to actually learn routines, is a feat in itself, and one of the many reasons I enjoy his classes! I get a huge workout, but it does not seem like working out at all. Tuesday night yoga class is a wonderful routine of stretches, not convoluted body pretzel making moves. But I do notice I am using muscles I forgot I even had. At class end, if you want, relaxation time includes a brief whiff of lavender essential oil and tiny neck massage. I leave the studio sooo relaxed on yoga night. The class times are perfect for me to go after work. The owners are friendly, caring and professional. The studio has a nice, good energy feel to it. They just started a promotion for school/college students to get unlimited fitness classes for $20 a month, but for me, a non- student, I think I am getting a great deal at $35! I see a past review says $10 is the drop in fee, but I'm pretty sure it is only $5 a class, because that is what I pay for my husband to take the yoga class with me. read more

This location has CLOSED. I visited today since I was looking for a place to take hip hop dance lessons at. When i arrived, there was a large sign outside that said that the space is available for lease. Seems like they haven't been opened in a long time. I was kind if disappointed to considering all of the great reviews on here and I was also interested in the instructor too. If anyone has any recommendation for where to go for classes, please let me know. Thanks! read more

WE LOVE RICA DANCE!!! I have had my daughter at this studio for 1 year. Prior to this studio, she had taken classes elsewhere, but we didn't receive what we were hoping for. We wanted a fun yet challenging, loving yet strict studio that would offer growth for my daughter and push her to be her best. Well, we found that and MORE at RICA Dance!! This is a dance family with morals and values, a studio with the utmost integrity and a studio that we call home. They offer all forms of dance as well as a competition Team. Ms. AnnaRica is an awesome Director and Choreographer! She puts her heart and soul into this studio and it shows in all the dancers and dance instructors. LOOK NO FURTHER... this is the studio you want for your children P.S. the dance parents are awesome too! read more

This dance studio is amazing! The Director as well. She is very supportive and gives great encouragement to her students. I have been dancing with R.I.C.A dance for several years now and I enjoy it so much!! It is like a second home to me. The studio of course has safety protocols for the dancers. I am glad I am able to continue to doing what I love during these difficult times. read more

Rica dance is my home. It always has been. I started dancing with Rica when I was eight years old and twelve years later here I am! I've had my fair share of other studios and there is absolutely nothing quite like Rica Dance. Anarica will make you feel welcomed, loved, comfortable, and excited to learn. She does more than just teach a dance class. Rica has worked so hard to build an encouraging and welcoming environment, you can feel it before you even step foot inside. I have brought plenty of friends to come take class with me and they all say the same thing, "that was so fun, I want to come back!" Not only do you feel comfortable taking class, you leave feeling accomplished. Her way of teaching makes you excited and eager to dance and her choreography is amazing. Very old school hiphop vibes but still keeping it modern. The best part is, it's not only the staff that is so inviting but the students and families as well. It really is a family. It's why I make the drive from San Diego to her studio every week. If anyone is thinking of checking this studio out, I highly encourage you to do so. We would love to have you!! read more

I am so happy I finally found a true breakdance class! After joining other studios with *hip hop* classes, I can tell you they are by far the best.

Such a great dance studio! I was looking for a studio that offered classes such as ballet, jazz and technique for adults. R.I.C.A dance offers just that!

I have made amazing friendships and learned a lot from my peers and staff. There are a wide variety of classes with different skill levels and at a very affordable price. Check it out! read more

Anna Rica Lopez doesn't see my daughter for her size but for Her ability as a dancer. She sees her potential and pushes her even harder. Rica dance is more than a dance studio its home! read more

Wonderful dance studio! Everyone is super nice. The Zumba classes are awesome. Abe is the best!!! Highly recommended. Great prices too!

The Zumba classes here are the best I have ever taken. The instructor, Abe, is great at what he does and he loves his job and it shows! I cannot dance to save my life and I never want to work out, but Abe makes his class feel like an hour of fun time rather than an hour of working out. The music selection is great, he varies up the routines and has a new one almost every week. Their rates are good as well if you have a membership for $35 a month. I just drop in time to time so I pay the $10 drop in fee and am happy to support a local business with such hardworking, dedicated people! And the decor is great also! Anna Rica has great taste!! Check out Zumba here Mon 8-9pm, Wed 6:30-7:30pm, Fri 6:30-7:30pm and Sat 10-11am. read more

I've attended many dance studios over the years, and Rica Dance is by far the best of the bunch. The studio itself is clean, attractive, and comfortable, but it is really the people at Rica that make it special. Everyone here is so friendly and encouraging. I came here after years of not dancing due to illness, and my first class back was emotionally very difficult for me. But Anna, the owner, encouraged me so much. She and the other girls helped me stick with it and get back into dancing. I have never felt embarrassed or unwelcome at this studio (I feel like that is so rare with dance studios!!). I'm so thankful I found Rica Dance :) read more
