Jorday Rivera’s Dance Studio

My daughter had her birthday party there this year. She has been dancing at the school for over three years. This place is a second home to her. She loved having her birthday there. Zavivah was a great teacher for the party, Tiffany was an amazing makeup artist and Joel was a fun host. I love this studio.

If only we can have more starts for this amazing studio. After much research for a dance studio for my daughter I came across Jorday’s, what I call, heaven. Whether you are looking to compete on the team with the absolute best or just looking to add some fun to your life, your search should stop HERE! Highly Recommend for all between the age of 2-​adults! Simply AMAZING!!!

I have had my daughter here for 4 years now. Every year she is advancing in her dance routines. My daughter loves the instructors and the owner as if they were family. There are a great variety of classes and the staff treats my daughter and I with respect.

I LOVE THIS DANCE SCHOOL!!! It’s fun, convenient, full of supportive dance instructors and students. They usually have monthly salsa socials which is helpful with practicing what was taught in class. I will continue to go to this school and bring my nieces and nephews here.

Overall the dance instruction was good. My son learned alot. However, my son was purposely kicked in the face by a fellow student. The instructor for lack of a better term took with a grain of salt. I did not think it was cute. Jorday didn’t take it serious either. To get a hold of her was a challenge on its own. I am not going to recommend anyone else, but my son is doing great at another studio and I have no worries. It is a business but the children’s safety is taken serious.

I was very excited to take my 3 year old to her very first ballet lesson. She was excited too. I signed her up for baby ballet on fridays at 4 pm starting September 19^th. On that afternoon I showed up at 3.55 with my baby all dressed up and ready to go. The studio, however, was closed. I called over the phone and they told me «somebody will open the door». We waited and waited until I called again but this time nobody picked up the phone. I also noticed that there were no other mothers waiting for this same class which seemed unusual to me. After half hour of waiting i gave up and left with a very disappointed 3 year old.
The following week I called the studio and they told me that there was a situation that prevented them to having the class but they reassured me that this friday the classes would begin.
I was already on my way with my daughter all dressed up again when i received a call about a half hour before the class was to begin — Once again the class was cancelled. I would have appreciated had they told me this information earlier this morning or perhaps even yesterday.
I told them i wanted a refund and they told me that they would call me back within an hour and they never did.
THIS IS NOT A RELIABLE STUDIO.

If there was another star to add on, I will add a million more. My 4 year old daughter has been attending Jorday dance studio since she was 2 years old. My daughter started ballet at the age of 2 and now is taking belly dancing, tap, and ballet. My daughter loves going to her dance class and loves her teacher Priscilla. So if your looking for a great studio for your child to start shining then it will be here !!! Everyone is friendly and that’s extremely important for a child to feel!!!

I am really impressed by the enthusiasm, dedication and all around fun of the staff @ Jorday’s. My daughter participated all of last school year and the recital. I could not believe the talent @ the recital at the Frank Sinatra HS for the performing arts. My daughter gained confidence from the experience and had fun along the way … What else could one ask for?!
Cheers to Jorday and the entire staff! Muchas Gracias!

Tiffany is awesome. Within about a week, she taught me, a guy who has no rhythm, how to dance for my wedding. The whole process was fun and Svetlana and I are grateful to Tiffany for her patience, professionalism, and sense of humor. She’s a gifted dance teacher and really worked with us in terms of scheduling also.

You don’t have to be Ginger and Fred to take a class here!
Small groups, friendly instructors and atmosphere, computerized tracking of your program and nice price too. They have hours I can squeeze into my crazy schedule, which is really great.
Call in advance to make sure the instructor/​class are running on holiday weeks/​weekends, though.

I’ve been coming here for years now to take the belly dance classes, Kazja is the best belly dance instructor that I’ve had. She is absolutely amazing! She also teaches belly dance fitness. It makes me sweat like crazy, which is why I love it! Exercising belly dance style! You can’t go wrong with that.

My daughter is 2 ½ yrs old and I brought her to Jorday’s dance studio via a livingsocial deal. All I can say is that they exceeded my expectations by 200%. I was scared that my daughter would not like being in the dance room without me and with 5 other little female toddlers that she was meeting for the first time as I watched from the surveillance video in their reception area (they do this because parents in the room is disruptive while they learn, which I totally agree). As I watched while biting my nails, I was so impressed by Katja, the fantastic ballet instructor and young Chelsea her great assistant. They made my daughter feel so comfortable and I watched as they patiently instructed her what to do. I could not hold back my tears as I watched my baby. I am actually getting teary eyed now as I type this review. This was a life changing experience because i know how much my daughter loves to dance, and as she embarks on this wonderful journey I know that Jorday, Katja, Chelsea and the rest of the staff will make this the time of her life. There are too many opportunities available for our children in this world and when you find the right fit for their education and development, you can never take that for granted. I have spoken to Jorday over the phone and when I emailed an inquiry she responded directly, and I could not be happier. How a woman with her busy schedule had the time to acknowledge my question and address it so quickly is truly remarkable, and after reading her bio on her site, along with Katja’s (which is also very impressive) and the rest of the staff, I felt truly inspired and am so excited to see my daughter at her next ballet class!!!

We came to Jorday after going to another dance school. The difference was night and day. On the day of our first lesson, our instructor apologized about the class being a little bit crowded, 8 poeple. This was like heaven compared to our last school that had upwards of 70 or 80 people packed into 1 class.
The instructors were very knowledgeable and broke down the steps well. If you weren’t getting the moves, they would nicely suggest staying at that level before moving to the more advanced class.
The schedule was great for us and the price was great, the instructors are great. Go go go!
