Perfect Pointe School of Dance

My daughter Sofia started at the end of March 2018. She has a lot of energy and she started with Angelina Ballerina. She loves her ballet teacher Ms. Michelle. Such a sweet person! I love to see my daughter so happy and I really appreciate how respect and discipline matters at her school. She participated in her first recital a few weeks back and has been asking to go back on stage ever since. We are trying jazz now too. She has a lot to learn of course, but she is so happy with her new class. She loves her jazz teacher as well. She's a lot of fun. Ms. Katherine keeps them laughing. Parents are so friendly. Overall it is a great place for our babies to learn dance and appreciate it.

My baby ballerina loves coming to ballet every week
I looked and researched and made a great choice.
Ms Belle and the teachers are great !!!

Instructors are profesional and care about the dancers. My daughter has developed as a person and a dancer because of this studio. They build self esteem. Lucky to have found this studio.

So after 4 years, instead of replying to my review to apologize for her bad behavior towards my then 3 year old, she dodges that and calls me out instead? Wow! And she actually stalked all my other reviews? OMG! Sorry but all 4 points you made are useless and that won't sweep under the rug your bad attitude then as a teacher. In fact as a father, I still vividly remember your facial expression as you were bullying my little girl telling her NO. Usually reviews like this serve as a wake up call. A challenge to do better. I guess after 4 years, you still missed the point.

If you are looking for a dance school teaching classical ballet, look no further. Likewise, if you are interested in tap dance, jazz, and hip hop classes, they are also offered here. The instructors are classically trained and the owner, who is an instructor herself, has even taught students who are now professional ballerinas.

I have a 5 year old daughter and I was looking for a school that had a good balance of technique and fun. Other studios that I had looked into were too strict, others were too casual. Perfect pointe is just right.

The studio has 2 rooms with big windows so that parents can take a peak at the action without disrupting the class. The waiting area is also quite comfy with a couple couches, coffee maker, and a play area for the siblings who are dragged along.

The price is very reasonable and the payment process is very easy and online. We are also connected on the glassboard app making it easy to stay up to date of any changes in the schedule or upcoming events. I'm a huge fan and I am so glad that I found a dance school that my daughter loves, that I love, and where we will watch her grow.

This studios is the real deal. I am a professional performer and I teach performing arts (not dance), and I studied dance for many years. I can tell you the instructors are top notch, the studio is always clean and tidy (Covina and La Verne) and the students are always put first. Both my son and daughter have danced here, and my daughter is currently on the competition team. They take the time to get to know your child and what your child needs. I am deeply grateful for such an amazing studio to be so close to where we live and go to school.

By far the best dance studio around!! We just had our 4th recital and it was amazing!!! The teachers are amazing and passionate!! They keep our girls/boys on pointe ;) and excited! My daughter has been in dance since she was 3yrs old and now almost 7 and loves it! Mrs Belle is seriously amazing and cares so much about all of her students and teachers!! This is not just a place to teach our kids to dance.. It's a place where our kids also learn structure and respect and share that same passion of doing what they love! I as a parent appreciate that and couldn't be happier! To see your child happy makes you happy!

The staffs are friendly but they need someone who knows how to run their business.

We dip in both La Verne and Covina schools. They are both clean.

This review is mainly about the Covina school.

Covina school place is not well organized. It takes days for them to reply to your emails. If it's a case sensitive matter, that time would pass and your questions would not be answered. Like when classes are going to start but they don't have your kid's ordered clothes yet for the first day of class.

They have posted rules about students being late but not enforced whatsoever. It's unfair to students who are on time and will be disrupted due to these late kids. It's unfair to parents who are always on time that theirs' and kids' time are waisted.

They also should enforced no eating in the waiting room. This is NOT a restaurant where people would bring food and STINK up the whole ENTIRE room! It's soooooo disgusting.

Prior to their recital night, we were told that they would order pizza for the kids on recital night... which they didn't. So if your kids didn't bring food, they will be hungry or thirsty. My child asked 2 adults for water on recital night and no one helped her because I was informed that everyone was busy taking care of smaller kids.

During a break we went by the backstage to see our kids to check up on them, the employee/volunteer said that they were taking care of. We didn't get to see our children. So we took what the person said and left. But I had to go back again and insisted to see my kids after 2 hours of not seeing them to make sure they were ok and that was when I was told about the water and pizza incident.

Recital night were chaotic. If it's going to be your first time, I don't think the management care what you should know and not know as a parent. They are NOT very specific on things. YOU as a parent MUST ask A LOT of question on how they operate on recital days. Your kids will be backstage the whole time. They need a better system also on checking out your kids. They should at least announce to form a line outside so it won't be chaos... because we know how people are, if there are no instructions, like forming a simple line, these uncivilized people will just walk through and pass you to get in infront of the door to get their kids.

They just need more organizational skills, I think.

The growth of my child since beginning here has been exponential! I am pleased with the Dance teachers, staff, choice of song and choreography (which is appropriate for each age level), and competition opportunities. I highly recommend both the Covina and LaVerne locations.

My twins have been with Perfect Pointe for 8 years & I've never regretted my choice . Every teacher is phenomenal and all professionals. Ms Belle is one of the most amazing instructors & I attribute her expertise to my twins' success with ballet. Ms Belle has been supportive since the beginning. I have enjoyed seeing the business grow and I am so proud to be a part of a business that will only be the best in the area soon enough. She even created a boys program to encourage more male involvement- what a forward thinking business. Best dance studio in San Gabriel Valley! Proud to be a part of Team Perfect Pointe. Professional recitals, amazing dance competition team, awesome dance classes.
