Sunshine Dance Studio

(3 reviews)

We have been so pleased to find a dance studio that accommodates differently able people. All of…read morethe teachers are wonderful, kind and talented. We highly recommend Sunshine Dance Studio!

We enrolled our daughter in classes after reading so many wonderful reviews about this school. We…read morewere excited to meet the staff and see what our daughter would be doing, as we had in other schools that she had been in. After being delayed for 4 weeks due to construction, and then being told the week before the school had actually moved, we arrived to a new building with no little to no parking and no signs saying where the school was. When we finally found it, we were greeted with a mask mandate that wasn't communicated, and a room that was a quarter of the size of their old space. These things we could deal with. It was what followed that completely soured our opinion of the school. The man at the entrance simply told about the masking and then told us that we could leave and didn't have to stick around. While he was polite, we were confused. In other schools, we more than welcome to wait and watch our daughter enjoy her class. When we told him we wanted to wait, he got annoyed and immediately got the owner. When she approached us she explained that they don't allow the parents to wait and that we should use this as "free time" and that we could come back five minutes before class ended to watch. She then basically pushed us out of the building. This wasn't communicated before hand, so our daughter was upset by this. Once we assured her we were just outside, we left to find other parents waiting in the parking lot just as confused and irritated as us. One parent went back in to complain, and instead of being gracious and helping we later heard the headmistress aggressively complaining to her staff about the parent, fully in front of the children they were supposed to be teaching. When we went back to watch, the instructors were already cleaning up and the headmistress had to tell the instructor to go back and show us what they had taught our daughter. We were greeted with a 5 minute stretching session that showed us nothing that our daughter didn't already know before going into the class. Between this all this, the complete lack of communication on the staff's part and the fact that the classes are 30 minutes long, which is half the time other dance studios are offering at twice the price, this studio does not hold its value at all.

MDN Studios is truly an amazing place to learn how to dance! I've danced in the past, but I had…read morenever professionally trained in salsa, so I was looking for a place where I could learn proper technique while still having fun. MDN has been exactly that. The instructors do an incredible job breaking down the moves, technique, timing, and especially musicality in a way that makes everything easy to understand. You learn not just what you're doing, but why you're doing it, which has made such a difference in my dancing. The prices are great, the instructors are welcoming, and the classes are genuinely so much fun. But what really makes MDN special is the community. You sign up thinking you're just going to learn salsa, and somehow you end up finding a community you never knew you wanted or needed. Joining MDN has honestly been one of the best decisions I've made. I've gained confidence, improved my dancing, met some amazing people, and found something that I genuinely look forward to every week. If you've ever been curious about salsa, whether you have dance experience or are completely new to dancing, I highly recommend giving MDN Studios a try. You won't regret it!

The owner of this establishment does not know how to communicate with students, so I'm not sure why…read morehe even attempts to teach. The things being said during class can sometimes be absurd and Inappropriate. Look at how they text me a year later, after joining a new salsa school. Very childish, and not what I want to deal with. We should be able to attend any school we want without backlash. Learning should have no limits. Did I mention he likes to cheat on his wife with his students (especially the underage ones), which creates a lot of chaos and drama in the learning community. He met his wife in one of his classes when she was 16 years old aswell. When students are aware of his activities, he bans them from coming back to his school so the word never gets out. Very evil and coordinated, not a safe space.
