I was told they didn't offer that until age 8, only to find out when we were there that they DO have a hip hop class for that age group, but it's for boys only. When I walked in, the owner was not very friendly. The entire establishment was completely unorganized. I called the owner shortly after leaving asking about the hip hop class, not understanding why the boys can do ballet, tap and jazz, but why my daughter couldn't join the hip hop class. I understand it is her establishment and she can do what she pleases with it. But I, personally found it very sexist. She was rude, unprofessional and dismissive. Needless to say my daughter will not be attending the dance classes.

I can't say enough good things about the professionalism, positive vibes, and higher level training these kids get. If you're looking for snotty cliques do NOT go here!

In 1.5 years my daughter has completely transformed as an amateur into a promising dancer with so much potential. And her confidence in herself I truly attribute to the teachers. Best studio around!

The school is now in its 10th year of business. My girls have done well in elementary school. They never struggled with reading or math, or making friends at school. I do believe enrolling them in a good ballet school has a lot to do with it because ballet teaches memorization, repetition, practice, confidence, be social, and permission to be creative. Highly recommend this place for your child. Older students are respectful and good role models around the younger students. Everything at the school from costumes, choreography, and music are age appropriate At the younger levels it's more of music and movement lessons, getting kids to enjoy dancing and overcome stage fright. As they get older they stay in class longer learning more ballet. The school now offers acro and musical dance theater as add-ons to ballet lessons. They also do Disneyland parade trips, you don't have to be a student at the school for the Disneyland parade. Haven't done the Disneyland trips yet or MDT but the girls do like acro. My favorite though is... END OF YEAR RECITAL The end of year summer recital is NOT TO BE MISSED. 5 star, 2 thumbs up. Each production gets better and better each year! If you never enroll your kids here, at minimum go to the CBC end of year show, well worth your time to go. It is usually held the 3rd weekend in June for two nights. Location varies but they will put that info out on their instagram page. The CBC productions are fun and kid friendly, since they dance to music from Disney movies but also have nods to excerpts from traditional ballet productions of Alice & Wonderland, Beauty & the Beast, Cinderella, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, Rapunzel & Aladdin! The owner is a professional choreographer, so instead of just seeing routines of each & every class one after the other, the owner integrates several levels together in some of the performances during the show; younger students would be like the corps de ballet doing their dance while the older students do their solos and pas de deux. You need to watch in person to understand this. It is beautiful and unforgettable to watch, just like a professional ballet production. I'm impressed with the creativity and thought put into all the performances. Several of our family and friends come out to attend and say they enjoy it better than watching a Broadway show, hah! Obviously it's student run, they're not professionals but they have so much joy performing and work very hard to prepare. Absolutely buy tickets to support the students who work so hard and dance for the joy and artistry of it.

I loved dancing there, to this day it's the best ballet and contemporary dance instruction I have received. I have made very valuable friends and unforgettable memories at this dance studio! All of the instructors are amazing and give constructive criticism individually so that each dancer can improve and feel that all the instructors genuinely want us to evolve and become amazing dancers. It is a wonderful environment here because there isn't any unhealthy competition between each other and I know from talking to others and from personal experience that the days when we had class were the best days of the week!

Every teacher we have had for four years you can tell has been hand chosen by the owner, the teachers are the cream of the crop. They have the students work hard, learn important life lessons (working as a team, being respectful, self confidence, taking criticism well), pay very close attention to technique, and are extremely creative. The most beautiful thing about this studio is watching how the students who go there blossom. It is amazing to watch the kids from the preschool ages into the teenage ages. Where they become such talented dancers, but young adults that are wonderful role models (in their manner, dance, behavior, etc.) to the younger ones. The recital has always been a magical time for our family. It is very organized, children are kept safe, it is done in a professional venue, and my kids ADORE being a part of it. Know that you have to be organized yourself as a parent for your child do have just as a magical time as mine do. We love UDA!! You will make such a wonderful decision by having your child become a part of this UDA family.

I am a huge fan and I've only been once so far with my three-year-old daughter. But compared to…read moreanother dance school we've experienced, it was like night and day. The three-year-old class had ballet bars set up in the center of the room at the perfect height for those little girls. The class size was small (about 7) with two teachers. Each girl received individual attention while the instructors worked on their steps. Parents remained outside the room with only a small, one-way mirror to observe the class. Even during shoe changes, we weren't allowed in. I was way okay with that! The instructors made sure the girls had their tap shoes on and tied before starting the second half of class. Along with cute foam circles to make sure each girl had her own spot along the bar or along the side of the room and personal instruction, there was a time for some free dance with the lights dimmed and small sparkly tree branches to hold and twirl. It was awesome! You can tell Jennifer Hansen is serious about her academy and her dancers. We are loving it!
