Backstreet Performing Arts Dance Studio

Backstreet is an extraordinary studio with phenomenal teachers. The dance instruction my two dancers have received these past four years is amazing. I can honestly say they wouldn't be the dancers they are now with out these teachers. They have a passion for dance instruction that is beyond compare and I love the environment and the family feel of the studio. I can proudly say this place is like a second home to my family.

New update. - Must have listened to my VM or this review. More total group involvement this week. Teacher, Mariah is nice, has a great smile, and seems to genuinely care about kiddos. Fast teacher! But that's not always bad. Thankful for this weeks improvements. Update from below negative review. Daughters went to number two day of four only to watch from the rear of the class a more advanced class combined with hers practice their routine. Unless they have some awesome fix for this program which I will post if they do, don't waste a single penny on this place!!I never know when someone negative review on here is some personality issue with this business but the negative reviews for this business are pretty right on. First day of summer class through the City of Riverside Parks and Rec and the class is combined with a class of familiar student not on their first day. Poor design, wouldn't recommend for the first time dancer and especially first timer here at this studio.The teacher isn't bad, just a big learning curve for summer participants.

Bright my daughter here too see if she would enjoy ballet. The ad in the Riverside activities​ guide made it seem like a great idea. Unfortunately I found the studio cramped dark and dirty. The class was only 30 minutes and once the warm up was over they maybe spent 10-15 minutes on actual dancing. The studio didn't have any way to watch the kids except for a monitor which made it hard to see them very well. One personal gripe was the instructor's use of the Ariana Grande song side to side with 3-6 year olds it's not an age appropriate song.

Owners are horrible. My daughter did not enjoy being here. More gossip than instruction.

This Dance studio or shall I say the Owner by far is the most UNPROFESSIONAL studio I've ever been to. I recommend you take your child anywhere, but here. Extremely disappointed.

I signed my daughter into dance classes when she was 3 years. 5 years later we decided to take a break and just recently my daughter decided to come back to backstreet performance arts. She is so thrilled to be back. I have to admit that thanks to backstreet and her experience as a performer, she is a super confident young person that has succeeded in her goals.

We have been taking classes at this studio since 2013. My daughters have always had excellent teachers and learned a lot .Currently my daughters are taking cheer. The cheer program is well structured and Ms. Corns is a great coach. Would highly recommend .

This dance studio was supposed to be a fun family place for my sister. My sister was a teacher for about 8 months what I saw from being there, was the owner would talk bad about other kids in front of other kids moms and other kids. The owner is a vindictive person. . Now that she is trying to fine another studio to work at the owner has some how found out where she was teaching and called that studio or emailed that studio and told them not to hire her. The owner is very unprofessional. There are not enough words to express the insanity we have experienced at this studio, we may have to seek legal help after this slander the owner is doing. I don't recommend putting your kids in this studio or working here.

This studio is unorganized! The owners are retirement age and they gossip about other dancers and parents. They pick and choose WHO will be dancing in recitals and competitions. This is THE most unprofessional dance studio I have seen! I would never recommend this place to my worst enemy! Actually the star rating is a negative 5, I just didn't know how to post that!

Five stars, hands down! I have been coming to Backstreet studio since the year 2001. All of my experiences here have been positive, hence I keep coming back. Excellent teachers and training. Very upbeat, wholesome environment. Family oriented. Great for both kids and adults.The owners Patty and Earl do a fantastic job, and they have been running this studio for all the years that I have been coming here. Things are very stable and organized. Patty and Earl are very trustworthy, professional, and loving. They treat their clients like family and care deeply about them. There is no place like Backstreet!
