Studio A

My daughter attends classes here for over a year and I have nothing but wonderful things to say. She has taken combo & intro classes with Ms. Aggie, Ms. April, & Ms. Mary. I love the combo classes for a beginning dancer, as they really create a love for dance. They correct at that point but not overly as to keep class enjoyable for a 3 – 4 year old. For a 5 – 6 with a year or two under their belt, an introduction class is great. Still 45 minutes, but with more correction & technique. Just wonderful!
Older children seem to be very talented & enjoy classes & performing.
Also, had my daughter’s birthday here & it was just awesome! Organized & kept children entertained, kids had a blast dancing & performing for their parents.

Can I say ZERO stars? How bad is it when you contact a place not once, but twice, with a question and they don’t even have the courtesy or professionalism to return your message? Here I was, looking for a class for myself and for my daughter. I wanted a place in my neighborhood. If I am looking to spend money with a business and they can’t even be bothered to return my message, I guess they don’t need any new clients. I don’t know why they bother advertising. I certainly would not do business if they’re that rude before you even sign up! Forget it, I’ll find a more professional dance studio in Walnut Creek!

My daughters have been dancing with Studio A over the past 5 years, and we absolutely love it! To show just how much, we chose to make the trip there almost daily from Danville. Why? They blend just the right mix of discipline, competition, community and age-​appropriate dancing and costumes for our taste. Don’t get me wrong, there is plenty of competitive drive within the studio, and it delivers elite performances in competitions that are on par with all the top studios in the area, but there is also a healthy respect for the girls’ age and development. This combination is what we find absolutely irreplaceable and invaluable.
The teachers are creative, strict, loving and customize their approach to each child’s needs and development. If you chose to participate in their company program, they will invest in providing your child with candid and constructive feedback, instruction and recommendations to help them succeed and advance. Their recreational classes are also top-​notch, but obviously a little more casual. We participate in both.
We can’t say enough good things about Studio A, and view it as our second family.

My daughter has been dancing here since around September and we just love it! She is four and has the best time. Mary is the instructor. I can’t say enough great things about her. She has the perfect amount of discipline, mixed with an amazing energy for dance and for fun! Not once has she ever looked as if she was in a bad mood or not having a good day. She really is awesome!!!

Our daughter, now almost 6, has been taking dance classes at studio a for about 2 ½ yrs now — she loves the classes and we find the teachers enthusiastic. Dance classes at studio a have help to build our daughter’s self esteem and coordination. Her favorite is hip-​hop and she adores Ms. Kathryn — we highly recommend studio a as a great experience, great classes and great value.

I just took adult tap class, which is really like a 13 and up type thing, I think. I’m in my 30s and seemed to fit in just fine. I’m a cyclist, a runner, a hiker… dancer really wasn’t in my vocabulary when I signed up. I was worried when I signed up that the class would be super advanced and I’d fall apart. That was not the case! I loved it. I am not the most coordinated of people. My last dance class was 20 years ago. Basically, this is new to me. I wish I could keep up… my mind knows what is going on, but my feet don’t seem to understand. But the class was still incredibly enjoyable. My teacher, Miss Katherine, is so full of energy and so incredibly patient with all levels. We learned new things each week of the 7 week long class. This was not in an intimidating fashion. She built each week and broke down the steps. She would teach the basic step then offer a variation or two for those who can actually control their body and limbs! Lol. After sitting at a desk all week, this really does make me use my brain in a whole new way. I think it’s super healthy, but this is not an exercise class. It’s no jazzercise. You gotta tap, or attempt. All in all, 2 thumbs up. I hope to make it back in the fall. Great job! I would go 5 stars if I had other recent experiences to relate it to!

My daughter has only been dancing here for a short while but we are very happy! the teachers are awesome and helpful and my daughter loves it and is getting better and more comfetable as we go. I am lookign for a long and happy future with StudioA and my daughter becoming an amazing dancer! Front staff is very warm and helpful and if you miss a class making up is never an issue!

I LOVE this place! They are a top notch dance school, yet are casual and very nice and caring about the students. My daughter attended a studio in Walnut Creek but was disatisfied with the pace, the teachers and ready to give up dance. Studio A will place your child in an age apopropriate class. The teachers explain each and every move and have them dancing by the end of class. The Office Manager always greets you with a smile. I am soooooooo glad I found this place.

I love dancing! It is one of the few things that bring me joy! I have been with this school for over a year now. I take tap, hip hop 1 &2, and ballet at this school and I love it!
I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to take tap classes from Ms. Lyenne Denny at Studio A. She is a lot of fun to take classes from. I started tapping with her about a year ago and have learned so much! I am not that good yet, but I am working on it and hopefully soon, I can catch up to my classmates in tap 2!
AJ Rogers teaches the hip hop classes I take at studio A. It is a great workout, and the choreography is fun too. My friend called a tall scrawny white boy, but he has some moves. I think a better variety in combinations would be great though. He is trying to cater to the masses, but he needs to spice things up a bit sometimes. (sorry AJ… nothin but luv mayn!)
For ballet, I have been graced by two wonderful instructors, Ms. Holly Morrow and Ms. Mercedes Sheets. both of these women excel in their art and have had an extensive dance careers after finishing at the San Francisco Ballet school. Ms Mercedes teaches the Wednesday night class at Studio. It is a great challenge for me because it moves at a quicker pace. Ms Holly teaches a Saturday morning class which is geared more towards beginner dancers.
All in all, I think Studio A was a great choice for a dance school. Aggie (the school founder) is super nice and fun to watch dance ballet… she is sooooo good!!! So come in and join me sometime! I would love to have more people dancing with me!

This dance studio offers variety of classes to different ages with different levels. For Adult Ballet classes, they have Wednesday night and Saturday classes. The teachers are excellent. I enjoy very much.
