Strong Dance Studios

If I could give a negative star I would! This dance studio is a joke… I have never written a poor review but felt the need to do so in regards to this studio. This dance studio is unprofessional and has a very poor dance program. I felt that my daughter was not growing at this studio but knew she was a capable dancer. I had her evaluated by other studios who knew what to look for in a great dancer. She was advanced in all of her skills, despite of what Ms. Rachel saw, she was placed on point. My daughter was so excited and shared this with her former class mates and Ms. Rachel felt the need to tell other students on why my child should not be advanced. Shame on you Ms. Rachel! What is a owner like this teaching her student? Not a healthy environment! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN THERE

Found this place in the Internet as dance studio for little kids, signed up my daughter right away! The staff is amazing and Rachel the owner teaches combo classes for the little ones as well, did I say, they have Zumba, tap and hip hop for adults too!!! Love it!!!

My daughter has been at this studio for 3 years. The owner and teachers are true to their company motto — Building Confident Kids. I credit my once-​shy child’s confidence in large part to her dance experience. Non-​competitive, warm, family centered.

Very enthusiastic dance instructors! The owner is extremely nice and she absolutely loves children.

My daughter joined Strong Studios when they were located in Anaheim (3yrs+ ago). The neighborhood was not the best but the options in the area weren’t that great, so we decided to give it a shot. My daughter, who is very shy and is slow to warm, hesitated to go in and did not want to participate. The studio was tiny so the teacher noticed this and immediately came over and started to talk with my daughter. She took her by the hand and said, «come on, I’ll do it with you». To my surprise she followed along almost throughout the entire class. I was so grateful to the friendly teacher that made every effort to make my daughter feel welcomed. At the end of the class, I found out that she was the owner, Rachel Strong. She’s your not your typical business owner, on almost any given day you’ll run into her at the studio teaching or planning some great event, ALWAYS up to something! Even though you can see she’s juggling a million things, she stops to say hi and ask how things are going. The studio has now relocated to Cerritos into a nice BIG building that better represents the kind of work that Rachel and her staff do. They are 100% there for the kids. The studio is warm, welcoming and all about building self esteem and confidence in the kids. You won’t find pretentious staff or an atmosphere full of competitive «mean girls» …As for my daughter… she’s going on her 4^th year at the studio. She can now perform in front of audiences, audition for a panel of judges, competes in very well-​established dance competitions (as part of the Strong Studios competition team) and recently made her JV Cheer team at her high school. Without a doubt my daughter is a testament to what Strong Studios promotes; encouragement, confidence, hard work, commitment and above all FUN!
If you’re looking for a great place for your kids that fosters all things positive, try Strong Studios!

My darling daughter has been attending this dance academy now for just over 2 years. She started at age 3 ½ and is thriving as a pre-​ballerina. Ms. Rachel, Ms. Kayla and Ms. Sarah are fun and supportive dance instructors focusing on confidence and independence in dancers of all levels. They are also amazing mentors to all the girls.

Good facility, good staffs, and fully loaded with positive energy. Always encourage kids to achieve next level.

I have taken my niece here before and I absolutely loved it. I honestly have no idea where these negative reviews are coming from. The owner and the staff were super reliable and always willing to explain things to you if you didn’t understand something. The staff gets along so well with all the kids and you can really see how much the dance teachers love what they are doing. I can’t wait until one day I can bring my own child here.

Unorganized, poor parent communication. I moved my daughter to another studio last year and she is treated with more respect and professionalism at her new studio. I was going for the «Zumba» offered with the classes, and then the teachers gradually left the studio without warning, I believe some were fired. If I would have asked, she would say that her hiring and firing is not my concern, but I think it might be if I am the student, or if my kid is the student. There are more organized and professionally ran studios for less money and without the drama.

The strong points of this studio are the enthusiastic dance instructors and the studio’s convenient location. The lack of clear communication and constant changes in schedules, offerings, and staffing made it difficult to keep informed. Showing up to an intensive workshop where my young daughter had been left (unannounced to me or other parents) with a brand-​new male instructor who only worked that week and had not been introduced to children/​parents beforehand was a huge oversight.

Not your normal dance studio. They offer work out classes, Zumba, yoga, Ripped and much more. If you purchase punch cards classes are only $ 5.
My review is on the Monday night Zumba class. Instructor Clarisa Eng is not your typical Latin Zumba instructor since her classes offers a variety of music. Shakira, Chris Brown, a little of country, hip hop and old school. You name it, you will be sweating your bootie off. Nothing like learning how to do the «body roll» and burning calories at the same time.
3 dance rooms. Clean. Staff very friendly.

It’s nice to find a place that has zumba classes every evening. The studio though promotes more the dance classes which cater to younger kids. I wish they offered a greater variety of dance styles and levels so my daughter could take classes here. The décor is nice and new since they are a new studio. The staff is friendly, too.

I love the Zumba classes at Strong Dance Studios! The instructors Ariel and Clarissa are awesome and really give me a good workout. I always look forward to going!

zumba is awesome!!!

Miss Rachel & her staff have been great role models for my girl. They are always encouraging and are always positive in whatever they say, do, and teach! In the past year that we have been here my daughter has gained so much confidence and has been able to build up her social skills immensely. This studio is not just where we dance and have built great friendships, but it’s a place w teachers and people that we have been proud to welcome into our extended family. The studio is new, huge, very clean, and well kept. The staff is always more than willing to accommodate to our needs, and work around our schedule. There is also a great variety of fitness classes to choose from here… zumba, yoga, hoopnotica, R.I.P.P.E.D…as a mom being able to squeeze in a workout while my daughter dances is absolutely wonderful! We plan to & hope to stay a part of the Strong Dance Studios family for as long as my little one wants to dance!

I’ve been taking Zumba classes @ 24hr fitness for over three years now. their classes are over crowded and you have to pay to reserve a spot otherwise you have to get there an hour before class just to get in… It’s crazy!!! So i decided that it’s well worth my sanity to go over to Strong Studio and take a few classes. It’s a beautiful, clean studio with get instructors like (Karen D.). You know that you will get an awesome and effective workout with her… So if you are tired of the gym classes this is a great alternative… Make sure to check them out @ least once… I promise you will love it!!!

As a Zumba-er…This studio has the best walk-​in price compared to other studios I’ve been to. Its only $ 5 per class. There is no monthly fee or contract and you come and attend the class as you please. The class hours are very convenient for those who may have a crazy work schedule. Most places I have been to are either over crowded like 24hrs fitness, and the AC is on so you don’t feel like you’re dancing in the sauna either. I definitely recommend checking this place out for those who wants some fitness fun. P. s. You HAVE to check out Karen. D zumba classes shes so much fun with a variety of songs and her silly faces is entertaining as well. She teaches Mondays at 8pm and Thursdays at 6pm-​7pm and 7pm-​8pm its a back to back class.

A great family friendly studio! Ms. Rachel and Ms. Sarah have been a wonderful guide and example for my daughter. They are always so positive and encouraging for her to express herself through dance. The staff is very patient. Zumba for moms has been a blessing! The studio is big and new, and the bustling of dancers being encouraging for one another is the norm!
