I do not leave reviews often but wanted to take the time to talk about our experience at Premier Dance Arts of Los Alamitos and their ballet program for kids.
My daughter was a part of another much larger program in Long Beach for 4 years prior to coming to this ballet school in Los Alamitos. After last season she did not want to return to ballet. She wanted to quit. We truly honor our kids wishes and so I was ready to let it go but then I did some research and found LABS.
So far my daughter LOVES it. If you truly do not love the art I believe that you are never going to push yourself to your potential. Renee teaches my daughter and she is so kind, thoughtful and most importantly invested in my daughter being the best version of herself. She takes the time to correct her without making her feel bad about herself. She respects where she is at.
To have a studio like this is Los Al is very rare - their values align with ours and to have a role model that my daughter can identify is worth its weight in gold. I am excited that my daughter is finding joy in ballet again and I hope that she continues for years.
Our experience at our old institution was so impersonal and often times rooted in fear of not following rules or asking for flexibility. To come here is so refreshing but more so what the world needs more of - a place to feel like you belong. Thank you Renee for allowing my child to be a child and bringing the joy of dance back to her life.

Read moreThe stars aligned, the universe spoke, and my daughter made the switch to this amazing studio. After dancing for 10 years (5y-15y) at a legacy studio, she worked up the courage to change...and she has never been happier! I am so happy to see her grow as a dancer and young adult with the training, support, and encouragement of David and Renee. My daughter loves being challenged and she is thriving in this positive, inclusive environment. She has been taking classes almost daily during the school year, and now during their summer intensive she is dancing nearly all day. She's exhausted and she loves every minute. I can't recommend the studio enough--not just for new dancers but also for experienced dancers needing to make a change. David and Renee are themselves young, energetic dance professionals, and they bring in so many incredible teachers and professionals for...
Read moreI have been coming to Premier Dance Arts since they opened and can confidently say it is one of the best studios I have been to. The owners who are professional dancers themselves are amazing and make you feel right at home. So many different styles are offered here including Ballet, Modern, Contemporary, Pas De Deux, Jazz, K-Pop, Salsa, Stiletto Heels, etc. You can train in a little bit of everything and they offer a wide variety of levels from beginner to pre-professional which I love! They also offer free trial classes so you can come to take a class and get a feel for the studio before you make a decision. The faculty and community here are 100% committed to their passion for the arts. If you're looking for a dance studio that provides a nourishing environment while also offering excellent dance training you are in the...
