She's a fabulous dancer, and knows exactly how to teach hip-hop to 3 to 5-year-olds! The way she breaks the moves down, models, each step for the students, and the most important part ... she repeats the routine and parts of it over and over so the kids - catch on - perfect! As a child development person, I love to see a teacher that knows what she's doing, and just how to do it!

I've gone to a few of Ana's classes and loved the variety of classes she has to offer. I decided to…read morebook a private session with her on my bday Jan 3rd. 2020. I was not able to book online thru my phone because the website was very confusing and I was not able to click on anything so Ana confirmed everything thru Instagram DMs. On the day of my bday, I showed up on time and waited for 20 min. Didn't see anyone in the studio. I messaged her on insta a couple of times as well as called the phone number. No response. Eventually the message shows it's been read.....After leaving, I got a missed call but I was busy driving so I couldn't pick up. Still at this point no voicemail. No response. I was very upset because it was a bday present I asked my bf to take me dancing. I bought a dress and spent my time getting dolled up just to stay outside waiting in the dark. It's very unfortunate this had happened because I love Ana's style of dance and was looking forward to it. All she could have done is reply back to me that she forgot or got the dates wrong.

My review has nothing to do with the instructors there because they are stellar. My review…read moreaddresses the decrease in front desk staffing, cleanliness, and studio politeness at the Fair Oaks facility. All have gone increasing downhill in the last year. I attend classes 3 - 4 times per week and on a Friday I'll have noticed debris on the floors and reformers that was there on the Wednesday. There's been a reduction in front desk staff and also lack of professionalism when they are there. It's a small studio and out of politeness for other patrons many of us wait to enter until the ending class exits. It's a small thing but doing so ensures that no one is trampled by entering and exiting. Waiting is not a hardship, though some may feel it is, they are in the minority. Please Club Pilates bring back sufficient help to run this studio effectively.

Personally, I'm more of a Zumba gal so this style of dance was really out of my comfort zone and I didn't know what to expect. First time in, and the drop-in price for the class was $15. While waiting for the previous [full] class to finish in that room (Zumba), restrooms were all the way down the hall and they also have an Elkay water bottle filler. There were at least two or three more rooms in use for youth/teen classes, and folding chairs along the hallway for parents/spectators too. There were less than ten people total in the class by my estimate, and it is once a week recurring. It sounded like the past two weeks they were working on choreography moves, but this evening Joe wanted to focus on a basic skill tutorial/demo -- the Wave! The arm wave is one of the coolest foundational illusions in popping, where you make your arm look like a ripple of water. After a warmup meditative movement set, he really broke it down step by step, practicing each position, first a cappella then with music, slow first then sped up, then added variations/flair. Isolating each joint is the key: fingers/hands up, then pop wrist, elbow up, pop shoulder up, chest, then once at opposite shoulder, reverse the path down the other arm! He also showed us a trace wave transition into a body wave, popping the left knee, then right knee, hip, chest, head, then trace back to the arm/hand. You could even do the arm wave at shoulder level, down at your waist, with both arms parallel, or point at each pop of the body wave. He also showed us the difference between waving out versus waving in. One water break pause during the hour, but otherwise it was fun to learn and follow along. The class after us was Beg/Int Contemporary Fusion 8pm, then Heels at 8:30pm. For adults they also have Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Line Dance, Fierce Funk, Soca Dance Fitness, Stretch Fusion and Sculpt & Define. https://step1danceandfitness.com/pdfs/Adult-schedule.pdf

They specialize in classical ballet and it is probably the best ballet school in Sacramento. Very professional and friendly atmosphere. The teachers are truly experienced and knowledgeable , with great dancing backgrounds. Last year my daughter was able to participate in the annual The Nutcracker production and I have to say I was amazed with the level of the show. The amount of work put in with preparing the dancers and the behind the scene came together to create a stunning production that I'm glad my daughter was apart of. Also what I thought is speaks a lot about the quality of teaching is that some of the students of this studio actually pursued dance career after graduation and dance now with ballet companies in the country. They came back during the winter holidays and participated in the Nutcracker production , which was very inspiring for the younger dancers. So I am giving the studio 5 stars all across the board, I wish we would have joined them much earlier!

Best dance studio in Sacramento!…read more Top down, this is the place to go if you want to learn more about dance. It has various dance classes: k-pop, hip hop, jazz, ballet, etc. They also have youth lessons, and doing performances, studio rental. It has separate building for students lounge which has small gym, sofa, mini bar (honor system). If you are new student, there is special classes package discount!! Check-in upon arrival for the class. Everyone is friendly and helpful. The class seems always full as I observed the class before mine and the classes around my class. In short: this place is pretty hip and popular, good flow of people. For my hip hop class: it was around 40 people (mixed gender and ages). During hip hop class: the instructor was explaining step by step and section by section, to make it easy to everyone. What I like was he also rotated the class: so if you were at the back, you will be on the side or at the front at some point of the class. The class ended with full choreography, then students were encouraged to perform by groups and cheered by everyone. In overall, good vibe and community with great instructors. Parking: free in the complex If you are new, the GPS will direct you to the other side of the building which is the healthcare. The studio is at the back of the building, so after parking, to walk to your right side.

I hate to do this as my daughter previously danced here for Level Up and we had such a great…read moreexperience from that. Coach Lauren is 10 out of 10 for choreo and working with teen students. The following review is not a reflection of her in any way, shape, or form as she was phenomenal and my daughter admires her greatly. However, let me get into my most recent experience that will have me never coming back or supporting this business & I will tell anyone who asks.... Recently I attempted to book a booth so that my daughter and her friend from dance could have some extra rehearsal time outside of their company rehearsals to just rehearse and nail down technique. Nothing fancy, just hip hop style. I booked online through MindBody after being redirected from their website (awful confusing booking/scheduling system). When booking, I noticed it said that minors could not rent the studio -- which makes sense because they're under age and all that. However on the booking site, it did not specify that you have to be a "certified instructor with proper insurance" to book. The wording on the website (screenshot added below) implied that minors could not book the space without an adult present. Not a certified dance instructor but just a general adult. So cool, I'll sit with them while they rehearse and ensure they use the time and space wisely -- not an issue for these two girls but semantics. I booked online and everything seemed good. However, something told me to call the morning of just to ensure that everything was good to go as after my booking the studio I received no confirmation or reaching out of the staff which seemed odd but okay. When I called, the woman on the phone asked the girls ages. I mentioned they were 15 but I will be present with them the entire duration of using the booth. The woman then informed me that because I was not a certified instructor with the proper insurance this would not suffice and the girls could not use the studio we rented. She reiterated to me that it stated all of this on the website. I assured her that if that's what the policy is, that is not clearly communicated on the website and the verbiage reads as though minors cannot book but an adult can on their behalf but would need to be present. She said no. Cool, so we nixed that plan. I asked if since the policy was not clear and now we would no longer be able to use the space, could we please process a refund for the amount. She stated she could apply the credit for me as an adult to take a class but she could not process a refund. I am not a dancer and have interest in taking a dance class. My DAUGHTER is the dancer so applying a credit for me and me only to use is useless. I stressed this and asked again for a refund. She said no, "we do not process refunds". So now I am out money for a studio that I booked for my daughter to use with no clear communication of said policies, my daughter and her friend lost valuable rehearsal time they were looking forward to having, and I am left to wonder how many other people are they doing this to. It seems small but it's genuinely bad business practice. For a small business and dance studio you'd think there'd be better communication, professionalism, and overall customer service. I thought perhaps I was alone in my interpretation of the website verbiage but then found other reviews almost verbatim reiterating my experience. It seems if multiple people were misunderstanding the same thing (as noted in varying reviews), that as a business owner you'd want to clarify the verbiage so as to ensure the process is smoother for the customer/dancers -- however clearly it's not important enough to do so and it's coming off as a way for them to pocket money and not be bothered. Nonetheless, this is bad business practice and it makes the studio look money hungry instead of outwardly curating a space for serious dancers to grow. We won't be back. My daughter has danced at other studios in the area since our time with SDL and prefers them much more, however we were looking forward to the opportunity rent affordable studio space for a few hours of rehearsal on a Saturday. The studio itself is poorly laid out and crowded and doesn't curate the technique of dancers unless you join a Level Up or one of their teams so it's not too much of a loss overall but I would will never recommend this studio to anyone else in the future. The level of "we didn't communicate well but we also are keeping your money because we don't hold ourselves accountable" is shameful on the owners behalf. Don't go here. Don't give them your money. There are better studios in the Sacramento region with a better atmosphere and better customer service. Affordability for drop in classes seems like a great deal, but you get what you pay for -- low price = low standards.
