I have never more happy about a decision I've made. Not only has she drastically improved in just two years, getting a title, scholarships and awards to boot. But, more importantly we've found a new incredible family. These kids and parents all truly care about each other and it's so beautiful. No drama just unbelievable support and great vibes. The teachers are the most amazing humans who truly care about your kid and have a great balance of cheering them on and guiding them to their best potential. I adore every single one of them. They have given my daughter (and I) so much love and support that I'm forever grateful for. I also take their adult classes which has been the most amazing experience for me as well. Yes, it's great fitness and fun. But it has also honestly been such a light in my life on my darkest days and been so great for my mental health. You get the same incredible teachers and amazing supportive community. Who knew one trial class could change our lives so much for the better? Forever grateful for our new family!

The community here is so close-knit, and we've met so many wonderful families along the way. The teachers are amazing! They make dance fun and stress-free for the younger kiddos while being incredibly patient, encouraging, and supportive. I also love that Purdance gives kids the opportunity to dance purely for fun and recreation, while also offering the option to explore the competition world if they're interested. It's wonderful to have a studio that supports kids wherever their dance journey takes them. We've had such a positive experience and feel very grateful to be part of this community!

I wish we had more time so my daughters can take more classes :) Special shout out to Mrs. Sheila and Ms. Stella for teaching Emily and Riley all these years, we appreciate and thank you!

If you're looking for a place where your child can learn, have fun, and come out of their shell, we can't recommend Infinity Dance Studio enough. Thank you for everything!

Now that my girls are not participating at Infinity Dance Studio any longer I feel comfortable…read moreleaving an honest review. My girls really did like their time at Infinity for the most part. For younger children and for recreational dancers I think that it can't be beat - we tried other studios years ago and they never felt as comfortable in any as they did at Infinity. They had a lot of fun, especially in tap and jazz, and the recitals are wonderful to participate in and watch. Mine did end up doing some of the competitive level dancing and that is where I found issues. It's very cliquey, not so much with the children/teens, but with the teachers. There are some very talented dancers who have competed with Infinity for years and they definitely take precedence over other dancers. I understand why this happens, however, when you speak with other parents you certainly see that when dancers who are not in this particular group make a competitive team they: Are moved towards the back of the dance and ignored Are asked to stay in a lower level of a comp team for "more practice" until next year...then never moved up In my time there I witnessed many parents moving their children to different studios so that they were pushed to the next level and did not remain stagnant. It's disappointing to see your children trying so hard to advance themselves but not having the teachers push them or give them constructive criticism/feedback. I think this could be a great studio if the teachers and the owners were willing to really work with all students, and not just the "star" dancers. It's too late for mine but I hope they take this feedback to heart.

Now our daughter is taking class all by herself at almost 5 years old (and she really likes going on the ballet barre). She's grown so much confidence in the class (although this took time), and she really enjoys all the dancing and activities during class. The make up policy is very easy and flexible for changes in our schedule. We're so thankful for all the classes we got to share with Ms. Bella, Mrs. Jocelynn, and Ms. Isabelle. They've all been wonderful teachers and really engaging and kind with the kids. We even hosted our daughter's 4th Birthday Party here. We were lucky to have Mrs. Jocelynn and Ms. Celeste host and help with all of the setup and cleanup. All of our guests loved the activities and class and our daughter still talks about her birthday party. It made things really easy for us.

Updating my review based on Christy's response. Interesting…read morethat Christy can respond to Yelp reviews but will not call or email a parent. Christy's response is, quite frankly, laughable. No significant time was spent communicating with me. Christy has never once communicated with me! Neither Christy nor her staff (Michelle or Bre) stepped foot in the dance studio to assess the environment in person during the class either. Christy states that she is confident she and her team approached the matter with a "child development philosophy." Per Bre Chavez, on a phone call on 5/1, she stated that a child kissing another child forcefully on the mouth is normal behavior and she knows this because she has years of experience working with kids. Where in child development literature does it state this is normal behavior? Bre also told me during that same phone call that she did not want me to talk to the other parents about the situation. They are the ones that promised to have two teachers present ongoing to ensure no further issues occurred (and no, it was not a temporary agreement), and that agreement was rescinded because they don't have enough teachers after the newest teacher quit (I think she only lasted a month or two?). Christy or one of the other two could have stepped up and come to the class and they chose not to. Christy's solution to these issues was to kick my child out because she doesn't like that I wrote a poor review of the studio. I left an honest review of my experience and my opinion of how the situation was handled and she RETALIATED. That tells me all I need to know about her. So my caution to families is to enroll at your own risk. Know that Christy will not communicate directly with you and will retaliate against you for complaints you make about the studio.

*Rediscovering Myself Through Dance: A Journey for New Moms*…read more As a child, I found joy in Bharatnatyam and Hindustani classical vocals, with performance feeling like second nature. But as a new mother, I realized how much I missed that creative outlet--something just for me. Stepping into Dance Identity in Sunnyvale reignited that passion.

Some of my fellow dancers have become dear friends, making this journey even more rewarding.

No tiene ego, no hay presión solo un interés genuino en verte avanzar. Le importa el progreso de sus alumnos, y eso se nota en cada clase. Si alguna vez has dudado de ti mismo como bailarín, o simplemente quieres un lugar donde te apoyen y te motiven, este es el lugar.

Thank god for GameBoy. Imagine my consternation when my daughter began to ask about dance classes. Thankfully we found East West Dance. Our little one has been in the 4-5 and 5-6 year old ballet as well as ballet/tap combo. The focus of these programs is on learning the core basics, not on forcing kids to travel across the state for competitions (I'm sure this occurs at the older level but we've received no pressure at her age level). This is great for kids who want to go to dance once a week, and also participate in other non-dance activities. We have also found the billing to be ridiculously easy and the rates equally ridiculously fair. I strongly recommend East West Dance, Ms. Pam and Zooey.
