Regeneration Dance Studio 1904 Pacific Avenue, Forest Grove, OR 97116

"The Studio owner, coach, and teacher, has multiple years of experience in the field of dance. Her own personal history of dance experience, education in dance, and coaching multiple highschool dance teams as well. She genuinely believes in community and setting up young dancers for a lifetime of Success. Erika's coaching of Forest Grove Highschool Vikettes and employing some Vikette Alumni as her assistants proves this. Studio team dancers also perform at multiple community events too."

"Erika is an amazing dance coach! She cares so much about her dancers and goes above and beyond. My daughter has been dancing with her since she was 4 (she's 8 now) and Erika has helped her so much. She even wants to be a dancer when she grows up! My high needs son also danced with her for a while and she was just amazing with him. Many people can't handle him or don't do it well. She never ever made him feel like he shouldn't be there or wasn't welcome. For those who may have had a bad experience in the past I would highly recommend giving REGENERATION Dance Studio a go! Only positive changes happening. :D"

"My daughter has danced at Studio Ninety8 for 2 years now and it has been an amazing experience. My daughter was extremely shy when she first started dance and always wanted me to stay while her class was going, Brandy always made her feel so welcome and special. It didn’t take any time at all for my daughter to feel comfortable enough, that I could leave while she was in class. (She tends to pay more attention when moms not there ;) Brandy and Erika are both outstanding Dance coaches and I would recommend you check them out!"

"My kids love it here. My daughter takes several classes and is on one of the dance teams, and my son is in the pre-acro class. The studio owners are kind and caring and genuinely care about each of the kids. I have witnessed many times where a kid trips during class or gets upset about something and the owners are so quick to comfort and boost them back up. My kids have made so many friends and have gained so much self confidence and life skills by participating in these classes. As with any activity, they have days where they struggle and they might want to leave early, but I encourage them to do their best, and at the end of the class, they are always glad they stayed. The studio offers several fun workshops like painting, Disney Descendants, super heroes, and princesses; and the extra social and fun time is so worth it. It is also a great way to experience dance if you aren't ready to sign up for a class. The owners are also coaches of the FGHS dance team, and several of the students assist at the studio as well. I love watching them grow and practice their leadership skills. These students have amazing attitudes and hearts and give up so much of their time to help our little dancers succeed. While they may be newer to teaching/coaching, they are a great resource and wonderful people. I love that they are able to participate in something like this - what a great experience for them no matter where they go in life! No dance studio is the perfect fit for everyone, and this studio has a specific style of its own that fits well for us. They encourage a community feel and want to be a place where kids are accepted and feel like family. It is absolutely the best place for us, as both of my children have emotional/behavior disorders and struggle with traditional environments. The extra support from the high school dancers and hands on approach from the owners is exactly what I would want and why I love the studio."

"This studio was not a good fit for my 5 year old and turned out to be a horrible experience for her. The classes were too big and the instructor was very young and lacked the ability to give instructions. The music was so loud the girls couldn't hear anything and just looked at each other trying to figure out what was going on. It was painful. This was my daughter's first dance class. She was so excited and after the experience at this studio has no interest in dance again. I understand that things aren't always what you expect so after that first class I encouraged my daughter to try it again. She agreed but after my interaction with the owner Brandy I made the decision not to return. She was both arrogant and insulting when I communicated why my daughter didn't enjoy the experience. I followed up with both owners via email to explain what happened and give them the opportunity to make things right. They never bothered to respond which tells me they could care less and that is what is prompting me to write this review. I would hate to see any other little girl have the same experience."
