“There are many places that teach dance, but since nothing but ‘the best’ would do for my granddaughter; she is at California Dance Academy. As soon as you cross the threshold, you can literally ‘feel’ the warmth of the staff that genuinely cares about the children, the parents, the grandparents.

Jen and her husband, Robbin, as well as each of the other instructors, are not only accomplished dancers and teachers, but more importantly – they surround the children with an unending supply of kindness, patience, and gentleness.

In the quest for excellence of technique, joy, fun, and laughter are never sacrificed!

Mega-congratulations to California Dance Academy for achieving such a beautiful balance!”

"Robbin and Jen, I can't thank you enough. Isabella was on Cloud 9 after performing on Saturday evening. She told me that it was the best day of her life and that she felt a lot of love in her heart.

A parent couldn't ask for a better response! It makes me tear up thinking about it.

Ms. Tania and Ms. Lori, you are the best! You are top notch. I couldn't be happier with the instruction. Definite quality! Thank you so much”

“My daughter has learned SOOOO much since she started at CDA last fall. Not only has her dancing improved, but her attitude toward dancing has improved. As a parent, it's wonderful to see your child truly take an interest in something. Thank you for all you do and making kids’ dreams come true!”

“There’s a real difference in your studio from others that we’ve tried. It’s great how you manage to instill dance technique, discipline and life skills in the students while keeping the entire process fun! I couldn’t be happier -- keep up the good work!”

"Dear Mr. Robbin and Ms. Jen,

I just wanted to take the time to let you know how happy I am with Ms. Lori. My daughter, Avery Kim is in her Wednesday, 3:15 advanced pre-ballet class. Ms. Lori's class is so much fun. She teaches different techniques in very creative, easy and fun ways. She's super nice and very attentive and patient with each child. My daughter looks forward to going to her lesson every week. I have seen her learn so much in such a short period of time.

I have to say that this studio has totally impressed me. This studio is exactly what I was looking for. Everyone that works here is very friendly and approachable.

Thank you for making this such a positive experience for myself and my daughter. "

“My daughter studied dance for seven years before coming to CDA. I find she is getting a much better dance education here with professional instructors and smaller classes. She loves it and is improving every day!"
