Love To Dance

My daughter is 2 and she loves this class! The owner is the sweetest, and the instructor Jessie is so kind and sweet with the girls. The class is perfect for toddlers and is very engaging. Highly recommend!

My daughter started here when she was 2.5 and is now 3. She is absolutely in love with her classes here, and Ms. Mindy. It makes me so teary eyed and proud to see my little muffin’s face light up on her way to class. She practices at home and tells me how much she loves her teachers and friends. We can’t wait for the recital!

i have a few friends who’s son’s/daughters take dance classes here.,
my child has taken classes at the YMCA, at the rec center and in her after school enrichment… all have been nice. Now we joined our friends at «love to dance».
we just started mid year after they hosted one of our girl scout troop meetings (what a great idea for a meeting!) almost like a Unilocal event =)
my daughter resisted strongly when i enrolled her… but she is loving it!!!
the staff and Mindy (owner) are super friendly and helpful… they remember each and every person they meet. That shows me how much they care about the students here.
I hope that my daughter continues to take classes here and be comfortable in multiple forms of dance. While my goal is not for my daughter to be a pro dancer… they definitely are pumping some of those out of here too!

My daughter has been taking classes since she was 2 ½ starting in the Magical Morning classes — she is almost 5 and loves, loves «dance class» and Ms. Mindy… I see my daughter light up after all her dance classes and she has learned a ton in the last year since being in a class independently… It will be my daughter’s first time performing in the annual dance recital — She’s soooo excited! I cant wait to see her class perform their two dances next month…
What I love about this studio is that it is not a big studio and your daughter wont get lost in the fluff of pink… It is an intimate studio that is just big enough for any child to be part of the stage while learning from quality teachers…
Mindy is a wonderful, patient and caring teacher and really knows her craft so well… she makes dancing fun for kids and not a chore… She really does make kids «love to dance»… I recommend this studio to any parent looking for a dance studio that makes your kids want to come to class…

Mindy’s ballet/​tap class has been great. My daughter started in the Mommy and me class and formed an immediate bond with Mindy. She is truly dedicated to teaching dance and loves working with toddlers.
Since my daughter has been in Mindy’s class I have seen a tremendous amount of social development and respect for her teacher. Mindy keeps order in the class and provides structure for the kids which I think has been truly beneficial for my daughter’s development. At 2, she is now able to follow directions, share, wait her turn… which I know have nothing to do with dance, but it has been great to watch her change so fast. I know if it wasn’t for Mindy’s class, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Besides all that, she walks out of every class saying «Momma, I had so much fun! » She does all the dance moves at home, sings the songs and talks about Miss Mindy EVERY day! If she had it her way, she would want to go to the studio more than once a week!
Highly recommended for your toddler girl!

My daughters have been taking lessons here for over a year now and I don’t know who loves it more: them or me. The relative new-​comer in Carmel Valley dance, Love To Dance has proven that it was able to take all the complaints and kudos from the other studies and make a better product. Mindy, the studio’s owner & artistic director is a fantastic teacher and mentor. Craig, the owner & administrator is a breath of fresh air in dealing with business matters. They know what works and are a pleasure to deal with. There is no snottiness and no drama like at other studios. There are no sticks jammed up anyone’s butts and the kids aren’t treated like dancing cattle in pink tights and toe shoes. It’s like a family, but the dancing is taken seriously.
It’s a comfortable dance studio in a convenient location (right by the Vons shopping center, it’s easy to zip in and out for errands during classes). The classes aren’t over-​filled and the types of classes offered are varied (hip-​hop to lyrical to tap to jazz to adult classes, etc).
The Annual Dance Concert is by far the most professional I’ve attended.
I guess the most important thing I can say in this review is that all the kids love their classes and their teachers.
