West Coast Dance Complex, Carmel Valley

"West Coast Dance Complex has been the most amazing experience for my daughter! Ms. Shelbi, Ms. Emily and, really, every single teacher she has interacted with at West Coast has been both demanding and nurturing all at the same time. She has made incredible friends with her classmates and now teammates, and has made great strides in her technique and ability to learn choreography. We couldn’t ask for a better place for her to take dance!"

"My oldest daughter (age 7) has danced at West Coast for 4 years and my youngest (age 4) for 2 years and both absolutely love it! Dance has become their favorite hobby and it is so fun to watch them dance. The teachers are wonderful, full of positivity, encouragement and talent. The facility is well-kept with large classrooms and a dressing room for those quick after school changes. There are many different types of dance classes to choose from, which is great for those who are just getting into dance and are not sure what style of dance to go with. My oldest daughter loved the 2 summer camp classes she took and learned so much from just 2 weeks of camp - I was amazed at how much improvement I saw in her technique after those 2 camps! My youngest daughter also enrolled in a summer camp and had so much fun. If you’re thinking about trying this place out, definitely sign up for the free week trial where you can try any classes you’d like for a full week!"

"My daughters have been taking classes here for two years. They love it! Teachers are amazing! They are very supportive and attentive, and help students learn to dance by making classes challenging but fun."

"West Coast Dance Complex is a truly wonderful dance studio in the San Diego/Carmel Valley area. My daughter has taken dance classes here since 2019, and she has grown exponentially as a dancer. She began as having no dance experience, and now is a competitive dancer with this studio! As a competitive dancer, the overwhelmingly positive support my daughter receives from faculty and other students has helped build confidence not only in her dance abilities, but also as a person in all areas of life. This dance studio also has an incredibly strong and supportive ballet academy that organizes two ballet productions a year. These productions are a marvel to watch because of the talent of the young dancers and the amazing costumes and props. Finally, if you just want your young dancer to dance a couple days a week, West Coast Dance Studio has a terrific recreational dance program. For a very reasonable monthly rate, your young dancer can pick and choose any class they want to take (no minimum or maximum of classes) according to their dance level. Overall, West Coast Dance Studio offers something to every budding dancer, and I strongly encourage you to have your young dancer try a dance class or two!"

"Three years ago both my daughters showed an interest in dance. I was more than happy to add this into their schedule as a hobby. Little did I know that the incredibly talented instructors at West Coast Dance Complex would not only spark a passion for dancing within both children, they'd ignite a love for the arts as a whole. Each teacher has their own unique way in connecting with, and empowering, these young kids within the sport of dance. Each teacher blends their love for dance with kindness & compassion, yet instilling a sense of discipline and accountability. Self love, and a love for your peers, is a top priority within the culture at West Coast. Dance can be a competitive environment. A top reason that I continue to invest in this studio is that the teachers, and older more experienced students, make it a priority to instill confidence, grace, and support/compassion for the younger classes of kids. This adds a layer of community that means a lot to me as a parent. I could go on and on and on BUT I think it's clear - we adore this studio!!"
