Touch of Class Dance Academy is by far one of the best dance studios in the San Diego area. All of the teachers are committed to providing the best experience for every student. The staff strives for excellence and challenges each and every child. Several of the teachers are moms themselves. They can relate and understand the difficulty it takes to balance schoolwork as well as extracurricular activities. They teach not only how to prioritize, but how to execute tasks efficiently. So, not only will your child gain excellent dance technique they will learn skills that will enable them to become a better inidividual. My daughter absolutely loves going to dance every day. Thank you«Team TOC»!!!

At first my daughter enjoyed her classes with Miss Victoria. As she progressed to the other teachers, she found it less and less enjoyable. They also place WAY too much importance on competitions. If you choose not to compete, your child’s needs will be secondary to the performers. Also, the place seemed less and less clean. It got to the point where my daughter didn’t want to dance there. Her final class, she fell on the slippery floor. She told the teacher she thought her arm was broken. They told her to shake it off and continue the lesson. My daughter came out to the car hysterical. We went to urgent care where x rays revealed a broken arm. She has been unable to participate in sports for a year because of this injury. She says she’s afraid to take dance lessons.

My daughter went here for a couple weeks. She really enjoyed it. The teacher seemed really good with kids. I can’t say for sure because you can’t see inside the classes, but since my daughter had no complaints… Unfortunately they up and changed their entire class offering schedule a month later and we were unable to continue. :( I’m going to check out some other schools first. Just something about the place was«off» to me. .. but I know little about dancing/studios/girly stuff.. . so I’ll see how others compare.
