My 7 year old daughter has been learning from Victoria since she was just 4. I still remember her…read more1st class where she refused to do anything. Victoria simply let her sit there and observe. 3 years later, my daughter got her skills as well as her confidence from Victoria's ballet. She practices 3-4 times a week but never complains. In fact, inspired by her I started taking the adult class from Victoria this year and so far really enjoy it. I love the fact that she deeply cares about her students, kids or adults, and she wants to let everyone truly understand and appreciate the beauty of ballet. Her classes focus a lot on the fundamentals which I think is absolutely critical for kids at younger age. Thank you Victoria!

I have been attending Victoria's morning adult classes (both Miracle ballet stretching and ballet…read morefundamental class) since last summer and love love the classes. Before going to Victoria's , I was looking for a place that would teach the right way to use/train muscles and breathing instead of just focus on techniques and fancy moves, and it has been a difficult search. I am so glad I found her. Her teaching is unique and precious. I made tremendous improvements in my dancing skills and body shapes. Victoria is very patient and positive , she always encourages her student to believe in themselves. The studio is beautifully decorated, which makes the classes even more enjoyable.

Mark and Kris have been amazing (and fun) to learn from, and I haven't yet fallen over or stomped anyone's feet. Classes here are an excellent investment in yourself, even if you never compete or end up on a stage somewhere.

I have tried the Thursday Beginner Ballet and Strength and Stretch classes here. Both are taught by…read moreMacKenzie and she is incredibly patient, kind, and sweet! I do think the Beginner Ballet sessions are on the short side (they are only 45 mins) and as a result are better suited for people looking to refine their technique than complete beginners who need to build foundations. Strength and Stretch is also probably best suited to experienced dancers, as the class has students doing crunches for consecutive minutes with no breaks and going into straddles, side splits, and advanced yoga poses with very little preparation and no modifications (this class is also only 45 mins, so warm up and cool down are quite brief). I would rate my experience as a novice to dance as 3 stars, but more experienced dancers may get more benefit from these particular classes, and it seems the ballroom classes are much more popular and well reviewed. This is a convenient location right off Foothill Expressway with ample parking in the back. There are classes in other dance styles (especially ballroom) almost every day of the week, so I may try those another time.

This studio has challenged her and she has grown so much to be a better dancer and person. I wish I had moved her to this studio sooner. The teachers and staff are all wonderful. If there is any concerns addressed they do their best to resolve it. When greeting on phone, I believe they should say their name first so It sounds more welcoming. And not so stiff sounding. Especially, since the person on the other end of phone probably doesn't know how sweet the office Staff are.

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!

*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. It's not just about learning new dance styles; it's about reconnecting with myself, embracing movement as an expression of joy, and finding a supportive community along the way. Some of my fellow dancers have become dear friends, making this journey even more rewarding. To all the new moms (and anyone else seeking to be part of a community while learning to dance) out there looking for an energizing escape, a space to move, express, and connect--come dance with us. You deserve this!

I can promise you there is something for everyone - from non dancers to professional dancers. I personally have grown so much here and I love all my instructors. They offer dance classes in many styles. I've tried a bunch of their classes like hip-hop, bolly-hop, Jazz, salsa and contemporary. Oh! they offer fitness classes as well, you won't regret it.

At pickup, my daughter is joking and laughing with friends not wanting to leave. Nadeen and all the teachers inspire and invigorate their students--highlighting the importance of confidence and believing in themselves--all the while motivating them to do their best and achieve excellence. The choreography and range of technique is amazing. More importantly, the social emotional learning is very special - especially in dance. The recitals are so so well put together, with professional sound, lighting, costume, and choreography, which is surreal considering that it organizes hundreds of kids into so many back-to-back ~3 minute dances. Luna also feels like a space for inclusion whether the kids are rapidly advancing in skills and there to be with friends and have fun. My daughter has done 4 recitals, and I've done 8 (in the adult hip hop class). We've loved every minute and can't recommend it enough!

It's exciting to find a bachata class since my partner is Dominican and I wanted to learn more so I can join him and his family when they dance! :) I think it's a good idea to get Latin dance heels but not necessary at all!

I started dancing at the San Juan School of Dance when I was 2 1/2 years old, and continued for 9…read moremore years until I started junior high. In many ways, I grew up at the SJ School: I remember the twice a week lessons, with Mrs. San Juan simultaneously playing the piano while also watching and coaching us; I remember the Goodship Lollipop costume, the yearly RAD exams, the indulgence of occasionally stopping at Baskin Robbins for Gold Medal Ribbon ice cream after class. I am 32 now, and haven't formally danced since I put away my purple ballet bag. Yet, I can trace so much of who I am now to the lessons I learned at the SJ School. You can breathe better when you are smiling. Focus. Work hard and your efforts will pay off. Do your best. Concentrate. I walk with confidence, balance in almost any situation, and hold my head high, all thanks to Mrs. San Juan.

I attended this studio for 13 years and took Jazz, Tap, Ballet, and Pointe, and taught Tap and…read moreBallet. This studio is split into two sections, in my opinion: the Ballet part and everything else. For ballet, the school follows the Royal Academy of Dance syllabus, which has a very strong emphasis placed on technique through repetition. Class hours tend to be shorter than other studios, but the upper classes are very small (4 - 6 students) and VERY rigorous, with classes held at night with flexible hours, based on how much work the students feel they need to put in (classes often run long). Pointe students generally are not started until they reaach ten years of age, and the classes are much gentler and slower than at many other studios In terms of Other classes, the best are jazz and tap, with new classes in Hip Hop, Musical Theatre, lyrical, and others developing. There is a kind of general canon of steps taught in the jazz and tap classes, until the upper classes, in which choreography, improvisation, and performance are the focus. this is a Family Studio, with classes for babies, kids, teens, and parents/grandparents. The studio does have a dance team, but overall, this is not a competitive studio; it is good at accomodating people who aren't necessarily the best dancers or the most driven workers. If you are serious about dancing, stick around for the Advanced Ballet classes or go somewhere else. If you're a beginner, this is a good place to get into RAD syllabus (the closest other RAD studio is in Half Moon Bay) for the technique, then move to another ballet school for other aspects of dance.
