My Daughter is continuing her 3rd year at Spotlight Arts Academy of Dance & Music ("SAA") which is a miracle. I tried many other Bay Area dance studios and my daughter never liked any of them and would quit within a couple weeks. My daughter and I like the fact that parents are not allowed to watch every class- but are invited during observation months' only. We both felt like that was a big distraction when she was dancing at other studios. SAA has a wide variety of dance classes and has extended weekend classes for those of us that work full time which I find a big plus!
SAA is directed by Naja Gentry and she runs a tight ship with rules that I believe my daughter needs to succeed. Also, Ms. Naja is incredibly nice and is always willing to spend time answering all my questions, in person or over the phone, and give me a detailed account of all of the classes offered and what would best suit my daughter.
