What The Greenacres Community Is Saying About Lisa's Dance and Exercise

Tiffany Polk recommends Lisa's Dance and Exercise

I absolutely love love the tap/ballet sessions my 4yr old did here. It was a great experience for the both of us seeing her learn and be excited about dance every weekend. Ms. Sheneel is an amazing and patient teacher. Lisa is so nice and definitely super passionate about teaching and growing the art of dance. We will definitely be coming back when we can.

We first tried Dance Unlimited and did not have a good experience. I decided to drive a bit further and am so glad. Lisa's studio is small but very welcoming and flexible. The startup package was perfect. My daughter LOVED picking out her dance dress from a wide selection and I loved being able to try on her ballet slippers and tap shoes before buying. My daughter was super shy during her first class but Miss Mali made her feel super comfortable and special.

Kelly S recommends Lisa's Dance and Exercise

My girls are new to ballet and tap and absolutely love it. Lisa has been a wonderful instructor to them and the other girls. She is patient, kind, fun, and very hands on with the kids during instruction. We are happy we found her studio. I am most of all a happy parent seeing my girls thrive and grow to love dance each class they attend.

We could not be more thrilled with Lisa's Dance and Exercise Company. Our 20 month old is in a ballet and gymt class, both are phenomenal!!! Ms. Mali uses real ballet terms and the children learn so much while having fun. Cannot recommend this place more highly!!!

Catharine Drettmann recommends Lisa's Dance and Exercise

I was so happy to have found them for toddler dance classes! My 2 year old looks forward to the class every week and we look forward to the possibility to taking more classes as she grows. The teacher is extremely patient with toddlers but strict enough that they listen and learn. It’s so adorable to watch!

It seems like many of the bad reviews on here are from disgruntled customers who don’t read contracts and like to take advantage and bully small businesses into refunds they don’t deserve.

I love that they let you try out the classes. I started taking my toddler who is 2 years old and they don’t really follow instructions but after a few times they start learning plus she loved playing with the other kids. My daughter loves the ballet class.I love how Ms. Mally is so sweet with the kids.

Program & Pricing FAQs

What should my child wear to dance class?

Comfortable dancewear is recommended, along with appropriate shoes for the chosen dance style. Specific dress codes may vary by class, so we provide guidelines upon enrollment. Proper attire helps ensure a safe and effective dance experience.

Are there any performance opportunities for students?

Yes! Lisa's Dance and Exercise believes in providing performance opportunities for students to showcase their talents. We organize recitals, showcases, and may participate in local events or competitions, offering a chance for students to shine on stage.

Are there opportunities for advanced students or those interested in competitive dance?

Absolutely. We offer advanced classes for students looking to refine their skills, and we have competitive dance programs for those interested in a more intensive and performance-focused experience. Speak to our instructors to explore these options.

What safety measures are in place, especially considering current circumstances?

The safety of our students is our top priority. We have implemented rigorous cleaning protocols, limited class sizes to allow for social distancing, and follow all recommended health guidelines. Additionally, we may offer virtual or hybrid classes for those who prefer to dance from home.

How can I get involved as a parent or guardian?

Parents and guardians are encouraged to be involved by attending performances, supporting fundraisers, and participating in parent meetings. We value the partnership between parents and our dance school community.

What other options than ‘studio’ training are there?

While ‘at home’ training is a premium service, it can be the most pragmatic and beneficial environment in which to develop depending on your situation. The savings on time from driving can be a benefit that offsets the cost of the service. So, yes, it is available.

Online/digital/remote training is becoming a large of our business due to the high time and stress demand of CA traffic as well as promoting a more independent application of our coaching. As well, this is how we work with the rest of you folks who live outside of the Orange County area. Check out the digital training page under the ‘services’ tab!

Really the most effective approach is to mix these (hybrid approach). There are certain elements that are better done in the studio and remote training makes you independent and keeps you accountable. For some, home sessions can help with knowing how to train in your own environment with your own resources….as well as staying out of traffic!
