ATOMIC BALLROOM REVIEWS

My husband, friends, and I have been coming here for over 15 years. It's a wonderful spot for beginners, intermediate and advanced learning/ memory refresh. The dance instructors are all incredibly talented, kind, and helpful teachers. I can't shout out Sasha and his wife enough for how much my husband learned from them both. The social dancing environment is very inviting and everyone has always been very welcoming. It doesn't matter if you're new or advanced, young or old, everyone dances with everyone which I've always loved. I highly recommend Atomic Ballroom to anyone wanting a great dance or social experience.

Brian at Atomic Ballroom choreographed our first dance for our wedding. We asked for a waltz and played the song we chose. It turned out it wasn’t in waltz time- it was a Viennese waltz- which is WAY more difficult for non dancers like myself and my now husband. Brian had the patience and skill to teach two beginners first how to dance, then how to do the Viennese waltz, and then teach us our choreography over the course of 9 months. Our first dance turned out more beautifully than I could have imagined. It was the most complimented part of our wedding by far! And it was all thanks to our incredible teacher, Brian. He really knows how to work with beginners, not to just get them comfortable but to make them shine.

From someone who has been here for a year: Fell in love with dance at Atomic - West Coast Swing, Lindy Hop, and Salsa/Bachata. There’s a social dance every night of the week with a positive atmosphere. Teachers are accomplished and create a safe, positive learning environment. If you’re looking for a place to dancing - Atomic Ballroom is a great to get started OR fine tune your dancing.

FOCUS DANCE CENTER REVIEWS

Looking for a new dance studio after moving was a priority. After doing lots of research, Focus came out on top. Front desk staff replied promptly and were very informative and kind. The studio owner is actively engaged and the instructors are wonderful. They do a great job blending technique with fun. So happy we made Focus our new dance home and have been loving it ever since.

My daughter joined Focus Dance Center 6 months ago, and we can not say enough good things about this place! They really focus on technique, my daughter has improved so quickly here. They have an incredible competitive dance team, and the staff is very welcoming and kind. The dance teachers are very professional and genuinely care about the students.

Amazing place, friendly staff and very clean!! Most importantly my child loves this place.

PACIFIC DANCE REVIEWS

The best dance studio in all of Orange County! The teachers are top notch, technique comes first and while the studio's competition teams do win a lot, the focus is never on winning -- i it's about the kids doing their best and having fun. Tons of classes and levels to choose from, and everything is always well run. We love Pacific Dance.

So far so good. My daughter takes K-POP classes here. This was the only dance school that I could find in the area that offers these classes. I am also grateful for the option to do in-person classes during a pandemic. The class sizes are small to ensure proper distancing. Some families choose Zoom class option for their kids instead.

Best dance studio in Irvine. They offer a wide variety of options with 10 rooms and open 7 days a week to accommodate anyone’s busy schedule. It’s great for beginner dancers. They also offer recitals, and competition groups for those who are little more serious.
