My wife and I have been dancing at this amazing studio since 2019. Our primary instructor/owner,…read moreEsther Garrison, is a true professional. Our focus has primarily been couples ballroom dances on Friday evenings. Esther has taught us many styles such as the Swing dances, Rumba, Waltz, Fox Trot, Nightclub Two-Step, Tango and others to include Salsa and Bachata. When we started we didn't know anything. Now we are confident to dance anywhere. This ability would not have happened had it not been for Esther's teaching. She is certainly the best in the county, and one of the best in So. Cal. And as for her Salsa and Bachata lessons, those occur the other days of the week. You would be hard pressed to find anything better. Hence her classes are well attended. Her studio also hosts Salsa and Bachata dancing events on special Saturdays each month called "Salsa y Mas." Those are simply a blast! As are the Ballroom social events on the last Friday of each month. All-and-all, this studio has it all. Now that the studio has moved to a bigger location that offers three huge dance rooms, and a smaller room for private lessons, this studio is the place to learn in all of San Bernardino County. Not to mention Rancho Cucamonga, and Ontario. So if you are interested in learning to dance, or to sharpen what you already know, I highly recommend this studio. Check it out on Facebook (Meta) and on its web site. We certainly appreciate all of the learning we have received. Thank you Esther!

Great place to go if you like to social dance! I've had so much fun everytime that I've goneread more

My son has been going to Valverde for 2 years. He started taking musical theater 1. He decided he…read morewanted to take more classes and improve his skills. He's now taking 6 classes!! (Musical Theater 1, Musical Theater 2, tap 1, tap/ballet , jazz and HipHop)He went from a boy with anxiety to this confident performer. He was in his second musical Mary Poppins this past weekend. To see him perform with the biggest smile made me cry. He was confident and was so excited about the show. The show was AMAZING!!!!!!!!It's been great watching not just my son but many of the cast members just grow in theater. Thank You Mr.Frank and Mrs.Yesenia for bringing out the best in my son. He himself thanked them after the show for teaching him the songs and the choreography. All his teachers are all wonderful , Mrs.Megan , Miss. Larissa, Miss. Jenna, Miss. Jack , thank you ALL for not giving up on my son. A special shout out to Miss. Jack. Andrew wanted to try tap. Since the class has been practicing for a few months Andrew felt discouraged since they were already learning the song that they will be performing on the summer showcase. After trying the class he didn't want to continue since he was just starting and felt lost. Miss Jack told him she sees his talent and he can do it. She told him to come back the next week and try again. He tried again and he felt that he couldn't do it. Miss.Jack told him to think about it , she believes in him, if he still don't feel comfortable he can enroll after the summer showcase and start from the beginning. She was very sweet to him. On our way home he decided he wanted to continue!!! His words " mom , Miss.Jack believes in me. I want to take her class , I can do it " He's doing amazing. She knew how much he did want to take her class and encouraged him. I can't wait to see him on stage in June for the summer showcase. I also want to give a shout out to the parent volunteers.They're very helpful, it was so nice to hear from them how Andrew has grown so much in theater. Another shout out to Kyle , the front receptionist for being helpful and answering my million questions haha. Us parents don't just cheer for our kids we cheer for all the kids. I am thankful I found Valverde. They have help mold my son in this confident , happy , positive young performer. Can't wait to see him continue growing in theater !! If you are considering this studio , give them a call. Your child can try a class for free. Everyone there is wonderful!

Although I do not dance here anymore due to moving away, I have yet to find a dance studio comparable. Ever since my first class here, I've always felt welcome and accepted. Here, I built a family for three years. Not only are the instructors very talented themselves, but they truly care about you. Whether you are on their competition team or not, you'll still receive constructive criticism and tools that will allow you to improve. In my opinion, they do hip hop REALLY well. Everything from the choreography to the teachers, to the environment. In addition, their workshops are incredible, and if anyone has the chance to, they should attend. Every time I attend one, I am able to learn from dancers I've always looked up to. For example, Erica Klein, Taylor Hatala, and Sienna Lalau. They might not have been open, or competing as long as other studios, but it doesn't show. Shoutout for studio owners Rachel and Rowena for making me into the person I am today. Due to the recent virus, the physical studio has closed down. However, they are hosting online, LIVE classes that you can follow along with at home. So, now that most of us have nothing to do, definitely try tuning in to one of them!

The owner took money that was not hers and did not reimburse it. She constantly found reasons to keep the money and gave out excuses. I've never come across someone so unprofessional before in my life. Unfortunately, she puts on an act. And that's all it is she'll tell you whatever she needs to to get money from you. Where all these other dance studios in the area the children are actually learning how to dance. She picks favorites and she let everyone know that your kid is not valuable of her time, but yet she expects you to keep paying and paying for her to treat your kid like they don't mean anything. She is a very nasty woman. Moving to a different studio was the best thing I could do and I recommend that to anyone who fall victim to this woman. And get sucked into her money trap ways.

I have debated writing this review for some time as I have never given someone less than 4 stars!…read moreHowever, I want to ensure same experience doesn't happen to other parents trying to find a dance home for their little one. Overall, the poor recent reviews hold true. The environment does not foster relationship building with students nor parents. I had my 8-year old daughter there briefly during Nutcracker season. I expected the performance to be grand being hosted at the Laugh factory and all to say it was extremely disappointing show - not due to students abilities but clear reflection on academy's skill set to develop and choreograph. On top of disappointing show, there was very little communication and engagement with staff and parents as I've experienced with other academies. When it was time to enroll in new semester, I was informed my daughter would be only allowed to do 1 class a week and not engage in that season performance due to bad behavior. When I asked for specific examples, I was given generic statements that kids were bitting and hitting during Nutcracker but nothing specific to my child. As a parent, I try to not assume my child is the best behaved. Of course I was shocked to hear this feedback, especially since I made it a point to ask each night after practices how my daughter did and was never informed of such egregious behavior. When I reached out to Gabby to request a meeting to discuss further and find a solution based approach that would help my child grow not hinder her, I was given the run around. My daughter had cried and not enjoyed dancing while she was at this school because she stated the teachers were mean and did not listen to her. I initially assumed her feelings were just nervousness and acclimating to new things and tried to encourage her to just give it time. Even before shutting down the feedback of the poor behaviors Gabby stated, I asked her school teachers, soccer coach and STEM teacher who've known her since kindergarten if she's ever showed that behavior and her teachers were shocked to hear that is something she would do. I attempted to advocate, and was willing to pay extra, for my daughter to have additional classes to help her improve as she was also not moved up to the next level. After not receiving responses and deflection from Gabby, we decided to enroll in a different studio better equipped at understanding, and developing, the characteristics, personalities and abilities of their students. My daughter is now at a better quality academy that placed her in a higher level upon her first assessment, has deemed her a leader in her class, and has helped re-build her confidence and love in ballet! Again, this review is not written lightly. I am not a professional dancer. I am just a mom who wanted a good community and dance home for my daughter. A Terre School of Dance, for us, was not that.
