Wrote a review giving a detailed explanation on how unprofessional this entire studio is and about 2 weeks later I come and check to see if maybe I got a response, god forbid they deal with that professionally either ! Instead of writing a response to maybe take ownership for how much drama they caused in my life, they take down my review. Do you honestly want people going into your studio blindsided? I know I would have loved to see an honest review about your dance studio in order to prevent myself from making one of the biggest mistakes for that time in my life. Which was joining heart to sole

Over the past 3 years the growth in not just dance but leadership has been an amazing experience to watch. Bucket list check mark was achieved when she danced in Disneyland, thank you Heart to Sole for your love and support.

My girls have been part of the dance family here for 6 yrs now and it truly is an amazing place to dance. The certified teachers really seem to care about bringing out the best in the dancers and teamwork is key here. A great studio to be part of for sure
