Tap Fever Studios

"Tap Fever Studios is how dance companies should be! Learning to dance in a positive and encouraging studio where everyone is encouraged and accepted and all students support and learn from each other and their kind and supportive teachers!!! They offer beautiful opportunities for all to have a chance to dance and are so inclusive to wonderful people, young and old and with special needs as well!!! What a beautiful and amazing philosophy that “anyone can dance if given the chance!” They even have a class for people who are in wheelchairs! They have dance parties too!!! Larisa Hall has truly envisioned a kind and peaceful place where everyone is welcome and encouraged! Miss Andrea is an amazing teacher who makes learning amazing choreography so much fun and manageable!! Thank you Tap Fever!!!"

"UPDATE: Uhhh, this is 100% a real review, by your response, your place probably still sucks. ...... ORIGINAL REVIEW: My daughter LOVED to dance before Tap Fever! Her mother and I can both move... so rythm is in her blood. We even have a disco ball for dance parties at home:) Here is what I experienced at this small studio. The owner: cold, seemingly fake smile kinda irritated her desk in in the lobby forcing her to interact with people... acts like there's something better for her to do than you/me. I get it though... she's busy and her job is rent and keep the doors open... whatever... I care about the product/results...my daughters happiness... you do you! Im just being honest with how this woman came off to me. Unfortunately, as a result of her persona, the parents (moms) that I met were the same way...and their daughters as well. This is an example of the environment nurtured. The owners personality was magnified in these dance moms. There was definitely a ring leader to the "click" here...like the movie portrayal of the typical head-cheerleader in highschool (a total B and a bully... you know, where other girls followed her cuz they were afraid she would turn on them?!) That, is this parents waiting area. It was never a comfortable situation waiting in the parent's waiting area if you weren't part of the "blonde mom crew".ha. Such a joke. But really, who cares, i'm there for my daughter. The only problem...the girls were clicky and acted like their moms. I didn't find out until after i asked her if she wanted to sign up for dance again! "No thank you daddy" Why girl? "The girls just weren't very nice to me." My daughter gets straight As, plays violin and piano, receives roll model awards MONTHLY at school and is friends with EVERYONE! Parents and kids alike all say hi to her every chance they get! She gives off so much happiness and positive energy, you can't imagine! The culture here st Tap Fever, by the owner, the mothers, the girls...is like a bad Netflix documentary...unfriendly and it killed my girls spirit in a way i've never seen :( This has everything to do with the environment you nurture as a business owner! Here's the other frustrating parts about how this studio is run: finding shoes Tap Fever stated were required, NEARLY impossible. Tap and hip hop shoes that fit properly are a nightmare...as i have heard from other parents. Their dance supply referral has nothing in stock. I can't express how many online returns i had to make and trips to La Mesa to the dance store. So much time i don't have and money wasted...but WORTH IT...cuz my baby girl LOVES to dance! Or should i say "loved". My daughter is tall, very lean and strong. Easily a prima ballerina. She loved ballet and her mother and i tall former athletes... I would play Vivaldi or her Suzuki violin cd and my girl would dance and spin around the house like she already knew ballet... When a favorite pop song came on, she would spaz out with this made up lightning fast tap dancing routine i had hoped she would continue well into puberty (an easy boy deterrent.haha) Since Tap Fever, and their culture, she's stopped dancing. I literally hate this place. Is it cuz im the only guy? Is it cuz my daughters got brown skin? We've been involved in music, dance, sports, chess, martial arts programs etc...we have never been disregarded or been made to feel so unwelcomed. We have amazing relationships with all her instructors. I would give negative stars if I could... i'm sickened my the culture bred here in these kids hip hop and tap classes. You'd rant like this too if someone stole your little girls love of dance."

"We love This dance studio, an all who help with the autism tree dancers. They offer many different classes and all age ranges. Fundraiser recitals, so some programs can be funded free for dancers."

"I've participated in many dance studios and Tap Fever is definitely the best. Individual attention during classes is the norm. The instructors are skilled in teaching how to memorize dance pieces. Level-appropriate basics are covered well in classes, and then augmented by challenge pieces, for fun. The instructors are all warm, friendly, and energetic. The studio has ample air flow from 3 sides along with several fans to enhance the flow for times when there are pandemic concerns. I used to have to wear knee braces all the time at a previous dance studio. I found I could stop after dancing for some time at Tap Fever. I'm pretty sure it's the floor flexibility that has made the difference for me. The studio is aesthetically lovely too."

"My daughter has been taking classes from Tap Fever (Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Tap and Ballet) for almost a year and a half. Because of the wonderful instructors my daughter has fallen in love with Dance - THANK YOU! In that time my daughter has performed at recitals, competitions, senior homes and special events. At only her second competition she took First Place with a wonderful performance choreographed my Mariah (Instructor) and placed in her last three competitions. She has made great friends and the girls are so close you would think they are sisters. As a DANCE DAD I though I might feel awkward with all those Dance Moms here. But, that was not the story. Now, many of those Dance Moms are friends with both my wife and I. Thank you to all the staff at Tap Fever. You bring a smile from ear to ear on my daughters face."
