Lake Arrowhead School of Dance

We continue to be impressed by the staff and students at this studio. Such a small community /​yet such great talent. Definitely a professional dance organization.

I have been an Instructor here at this school and other dance schools for over 25 years. I find that this school consistently nurtures every student in work ethic, positve reinforcement, constructive corrections and most importantly an overall positive environment. Many Mothers have approached me over the years to specifically comment on how «nice» our dancers are, and welcoming and encouraging to new students.
This school works with a syllabus based approach. Every student is placed carefully so as to be challenged, but avoid injury. Every dancer is treated equally regardless of the intent to become professional or to dance just for the love of dance.

My darling daughter has been dancing there for 6+ years, and she loves it more and more each week. And, you cannot beat the location! 5 stars. :)

This studio is excellent. Fun classes. Great teachers. Convenient class times. All kinds of styles and levels are available from an Adult just getting into tap all the way to a teenage pre-​professional level of ballet! They even offer a plethora of classes for really young children so they can begin learning the terminology and discipline of dance while having fun (and dressing up in tutus!) It is so rare to find such a high caliber of dance education in a small town like this. If you are thinking of getting your son or daughter into dance, you should send them to this studio because it’s not just an excellent dance school, it’s also a supportive, loving community that will encourage your child to grow in more ways than one!
Sharon, the director, mostly teaches ballet. She is very attentive and extremely technique oriented. Everywhere else that I’ve danced, in college etc., my teachers always ask who I trained with and they compliment me on my exceptional technique! I have Sharon to thank for that!
Eli teaches ballet, modern, and jazz. He’s hilarious and very unique, I highly recommend his classes for the more advanced dancer that wants a challenge! He always surprises and delights me with his awesome, and sometimes crazy, choreography!
Josh teaches Hip Hop. His classes are always full because he’s such a fun, high energy teacher! His choreography appeals to everyone because he draws on a lot of pop influences that infuse his style of hip hop.
I myself have danced here for 20 years (yikes!) and I truly believe it gave me a strong work ethic, a strong sense of self, and amazingly strong calves to boot! I’d give it 6 stars if I could!
