The Rage Performing Arts Complex

My son has been taking here for 8 months now and I can attribute several of his last big bookings (commercials, feature film, major artist music videos) to the instruction he has received here.
Unlimited monthly is the way to go. He takes any class he wants whenever he wants (within reason of course). It works really well for our busy lives. It’s kind of a drive for us but well worth braving the traffic!

I’ve only been there three times. When I first walked in I was impressed they seem like a very professional dance studio they display many trophies however it seems like it’s all a façade. The first time we were there no body would even give us a minutes time, we found out we were there close to recital time so we left disappointed but wanted to still give it a try. We went back to friends and family week, my daughter loved the class however the whole place seems very unfriendly. Because she loved the class we decided to enroll, they never seemed to have the schedule right so once they did we went, unfortunately the class we tried out they no longer had. The second class my daughter tried was okay at the best. The place was still super unfriendly. The place has this we just want to squeeze you for every dime we can attitude and they don’t even want to put a smile on their faces. They might be a good dance studio it’s just not for us.

My daughter has been dancing since she was 4 years old at different dance studios and we moved to The Rage Performing Arts 2 ½ years ago when she was 12. We are super happy with The Rage and I wish we joined The Rage when my daughter was younger. I can definitely see a tremendous improvement in my daughter’s dance techniques, her facial expressions when she dances and her passion which captivates her audience and not to mention all the top awards she continues to achieve. She learns all these dance qualities from The Rage dance instructors and especially from Ms. Veda and Ms. Tiffany. These two ladies absolutely give their 100% commitment! I have continuously observed that The Rage Performing Arts does not only teach their students how to dance well but also how to perform and entertain a crowd as well as how to bring out each kid’s emotions when dancing. The Studio is definitely a one-​stop shop which makes it convenient for everyone, offering dance classes such as ballet, contemporary, lyrical, jazz, hip hop, tap, tumbling, acting as well as singing classes. Most of their students take 4 to 5 hour classes daily and this really shows how much these girls love and enjoy taking classes at the Rage. The class fees at the Rage are very affordable especially when you sign up for unlimited classes and I think this is better than hiring an after school nanny or baby sitter because our kids are definitely more productive learning what they love to do (dance, sing and act) at this studio. The Rage also provides an environment with tables and chairs for their students to do homework in between dance classes which is very important to me and I’ve never seen a setup like this in other studios. This really shows that Ms. Veda and Mr. Bruce Burton are also concern with their student’s education and by doing this they indirectly teach their students — discipline, responsibility and time management at an early age. All these being said, I think The Rage Performing Arts is the BEST Studio in town and I highly recommend this Studio to every mom with kids taking dance classes. You should check it out and you will be pleasantly surprise and without a doubt your kids will love this Studio. I must warn you not to let your kids get intimidated when they see how The Rage students’ dance because once your kids join the studio, believe me, they will learn quickly and pretty soon become one of them! I just want to share our great experiences with The Rage and my daughter is greatly enjoying taking her classes at this Studio.

My daughter has been going to the Rage for the last 5 years. Its more than just a place to take classes its more like a family. Over the years my daughter has turned from little miss shy girl to the great performer she has become. She is also in their Hollywood Launch Program. Which is amazing for kids who want to be well rounded performers.
I would recommend anyone who wanted their kids to be amazing performers and have energetic stage presence to check out the Rage. They will teach them in a way that suits their age and level. And if you still need proof watch their videos online. Seeing how good they are needs no words.
So if you have children who are interested in dancing, singing, acting, improve, song writing, and a whole lot more check out the Rage. Trust me you’ll be happy you do.

My daughter joined the Rage 2 months ago. She has always been a naturally talented little girl who loves to dance. Since coming to The Rage, her love for dance and her skills have improved ten fold. She is constantly telling me that she loves the teachers and how they push her to work harder and meet new goals.
The choreography is outstanding. The Rage houses some of the best and most talented dance instructors that I have ever seen. They care about their students and do whatever it takes to help them become stronger and more skilled.
The Rage has so much to offer students who attend their studio. From Vocal and Acting classes to Lyrical, Hip Hop, Jazz, Ballet, and Contemporary dance. As a working mom of 4, they have a perfect program that fits our busy schedule and my daughter looks forward to and is so excited to go there each day and learn.
She is twice the dancer she was when she started and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for her.

My 5yr old daughter just moved here from another local studio and we love it. It’s a completely professional atmosphere, the kids are challenged and pushed, the teachers correct technique constantly and there is such a great energy. You can tell there is a real love for dance there and they offer so many great classes. All of the staff and parents I have met have been super nice and helpful.
My daughter is dancing better than I’ve ever seen in just two weeks here because they are bringing the best out of her.
Like I said we are new but so far we love it!!!

WOW WHERE CAN I BEGIN. There is so much to be said about this Dance School that it is not enough space nor time to write a honest review about everything that goes on in this school. First of All the Professionalism DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL. there is no respect for parent nor students. This school is designed as a big melting plot to obtain as much money from you as possible while looking as if your child’s needs are being met. There is not one consistent DANCE Teacher. Classes are taught by untrained teenagers ranging anywhere from 13 – 15 years of age Half of the time your child will be stuck doing the splits for unknown amount of times. Levels are not evaluated properly, and some children are Favored over others. Those are the Children who succeed in this program while you are made to watch and pay and be told that this too can be your child.
Safety is Not a priority nor is hygiene. Tumbling classes are taught by untrained Teenagers and often not monitored. Mats and equipment are never wiped down and the school is often dirty. Especially the tumbling room. The owner is BY Far the Leader of the Pack, along with her daughter, who in 2012 still addresses a child By that LIL BLACK GIRL… Now being that a Child is the Only Black Girl in the class I’m sure its another way To identify her but non the less this is how professional Mrs VEDA and MRS TIFFANY are.
Routines are recycled and you will often find your child repeating the same moves over and over and over and over again, Technique is not a priority and while paying 400 $ your child still needs to take privates to learn the fundamentals of dance 101 «HOW TO SPOT»
Don’t be fooled by the Glitz and Glamor that is tying to be portrayed by this school. Everything that Glitters isn’t GOLD
My Daughter Danced at this school for 3 yrs and I’ve finally had enough of being ripped off.
LIKE the owners Says… I OWN THIS GYM… instead of trying to be professional that is the only response they know how to say. Your child will never receive what your are paying for with the way they communicate to their students and parents
Its funny cause They will constantly say I am doing this for your child and i am doing this for your child. as if you should be grateful but you are paying for a service they should be doing for your child but the reality is THEY are not doing anything but making a HUGE profit.
OH wow. i keep trying to close this review out but i am reminded by more and more of the ridiculous things that goes on at the Rage dance school. I recall purchasing a costume for my daughter and wanted to try it on properly and was told By Tiffany you get what we Give you. as if i didn’t just pay 150.00 for a Target shirt in which i saw at the store on the clearance rack for 6.98 with a rage Sticker on it that was placed on at the local printing shop for 5 dollars. But although i paid for it i was told i couldn’t try it on my child and she has to get whatever VEDA or Tiffany said. PLEASE
AND PLEASE DON’T SEND YOUR CHILD TO THE DANCE CAMP. PROMISES OF TEACHERS AND SPECIAL CHOREOGRAPHERS WHILE PAYING ALMOST 400 FOR THE CAMP AND THE TEACHERS AREN’T THERE AND YOUR CHILD IS PLAYING AT THE JUNGLE GYM ALL DAY.
A COMPLETE RIP OFF

So far I like this place, it’s close to home and the place is filled with so much energy and excitement. The students here seem like they really love dancing and enjoy going to the rage. My daughter is taking beg and Int hip hop, so far she likes it. once a week classes are $ 60 a month not bad. I will give a second review after a month.
I don’t know anything about this LA Hip Kids Program so I can’t speak on that. But the classes that are offered daily are really enjoyable!
