The Yummiest Dance Schools in Stockton

The Dance Academy

"I decided to sign my daughter up for pre dance because she loves to dance. She's been attending since August 2023 and loves it. There is many options for Dance classes. My daughter is in the 3-5 pre dance group and they can move up as they age. As of now she only goes once a week. It's for a whole hour, first they start with ballet shoes and then tap shoes. She loves her teacher. Her teacher is so friendly and knowledgeable. There's been times when my daughter is having a hard time and her teacher helps her by talking to her and letting her sit out until she's ready. The director, Nancy is also very friendly and always has a smile on her face. I'm so excited because they have a recital soon. I look forward to my daughter's dance journey here."

Livermore Ballet School

"My daughter has been taking ballet at the Livermore Ballet School for the past two years. I chose the school because the instructor is a classically trained ballerina and she teaches the terminology and correct position to even her youngest dancers. She has the ability to get 12 -15 young girls to all do what she asks from stretching, to barre work, to working on their routines for the recitals. I am a middle school teacher and some of my students also dance with the Livermore Ballet School; some have been students for YEARS. The recitals are beautiful, even if things backstage are a bit confusing (hence 4 stars instead of 5).Miss April does expect a lot from her dancers and her parents. What she gives in return is remarkable."

Dynasty Athletics

★★☆☆☆ 2.3 (3)

"Great all star gym, family like atmosphere. My daughter is so happy here and as developed so many skills in the past 2 years. Awesome team of coaches and owners!! I see our family here for a long time"

Twinkle Toes Dance Studio

"My three year old loves it at Twinkle Toes Dance Studio! She looks forward to the class every week. She's learned so much about ballet and she's even teaching me how to dance. Her ballet skills has improved so much since attending TwinkleToes. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a ballet studio for their child."

Arabesque Belly Dance

★★★★★ 5 (10)

"This is a long 1.5 class(1:30-3pm) with live music. Not only it is fun, it is a great work out! Asia is a great teacher because she can break down any belly dance move (of which she knows many) and teach you step by step, if you are new. At the same time, she can and will challenge you to perfection. In this class there is a mixture of levels, so you will feel challenged no matter where you are in belly dancing. This is a great way to spend your Saturday afternoon. And even if you are out on the date!! Just bring your date with you with a drum or other percussion instrument."

Juline School of Dance

★★★★☆ 4.1 (18)

"So far so good! Desiree is really the only staff member I have communicated with at time of registration, I have seen the dance instructor however I have yet to meet her formally. My child is excited after each class and always wants to come back, the other day my child said "I can't wait to be an advance dancer like those guys" My child is an 8 year old boy who was scared to join ballet because of the social stigma that "it's for girls" my son got very happy when he saw another young boy there and even more excited when I took him to the room next door to watch the SENIOR dancers! I think we were both in awweee on how good they were and how amazing they looked. Hopefully this school helps my son with the instruction of dance and they realize his passion for it."

Stockton Ballet School

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Excellent school that maintains a focus on the art of dance and performance, with age appropriate costumes and choreography."

Fancy Feet Dance Academy & Parties

★★★★★ 4.5 (61)

"This is our 3rd recital she is been at Fancy Feet since she was 20 months , she loves to dance !! And for some reason they make the dance, super easy for the kids to remember . It will be such a great memory when she grow up !! Must try when they are young !! When we are older I'll become adult we are no longer going to ballet classes anymore !!"

D2M Dance Project

"My daughter is enrolled here & loved it. She was very comfortable & is learning a lot of techniques. It's definitely upped her confidence as a dancer"

You Can Dance Co

★★★★★ 4.7 (19)

"Went here once before the wedding had a very fun experience! Didn't go again because it didn't fit my schedule, but I highly recommend this place."

Kast Academy of the Arts

★★★★☆ 3.5 (4)

"Just started taking my daughter to this locally owned dance studio for the past month and I love it. It is a diverse community of families and no judgement when you walk through the door making the kids within the studio accepting, and inclusive for all dance levels. There isn't much room in the front office to sit, which is tough when you have the whole crew of family like me tagging along however, everyone is accommodating and most of the space of waiting is taken for the "dancers lounge" This room is a space for the kids/dancers waiting on a their dance class to do their homework, watch other dancers or spend time together. I love this community of acceptance and encouragement which is hard to come by these days. My eleven year old just took her first class and she was nervous as she thought she was going to be judged. The coach came out and told her that " she didn't need to worry and that all of them were there to have fun!" This put her in a different mindset and now she loves it. When you have a dance studio where young dancers and instructors encouraging everyone a like and building a sense of community this is the place to be! I am excited for my kids to flourish in this environment!"

Deborah Morgan Dance Studio

"My daughter has taken dance her since she was nine years old. I wish I would have started here earlier Ms Deborah is such a great teacher and she is so professional. She has been teaching for 35+years and still looks 25. My daughter love this studio"

Bellissima Dance Arts

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (10)

"Alexa studio director and owner of Bellissima European Dance Academy offers students from 4 to 18 a fantastic education in dance with a specialty in ballet, contemporary, lyrical, and hip hop. She fosters a structured yet fun environment for young dancers to learn the art and culture of dance."

Arthur Murray Dance Studio

★★★★★ 4.9 (20)

"My husband, dad, and I all thoroughly enjoyed our lessons here. My hubby and I took lessons for our first dance as a married couple. My dad and I took lessons for a fun father-daughter dance. We all had a blast. The staff are fun to work with and definitely know their stuff!"

Sacramento Ballet

★★★★☆ 4.1 (35)

"Finally I can review! I want to profusely apologize to those people in row K a few weeks ago. I went to the Nutcracker to see a family friend perform. I was feeling nauseous and started getting a fever.. then yes I unexpectedly threw up on myself.. UGH. Fortunately for me I was close to the end and the ushers were awesome getting me some water and bags... The theater does not have a bad seat in the house, and the performance was well done.. I hope next year I can see all of the acts, not the first two... stupid flu bug"

Starlight Studios School of Performing Arts

★★★★☆ 4.4 (21)

"As good as it gets! We love this dance school. The teachers are AMAZING with the kids, the staff is always nice and accommodating. Their customer service is OUTSTANDING! Totally recommend this school because in our house we all LOVE STARLIGHT!"

Makamae Melia O' Polynesia

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12)

"I've danced with this group for many years and I must say, these people have become family to me. Starting as a beginner when I was 12 years old, and working my way up, I've learned so much, and have had great experiences that I will remember for the rest of my life. They have recently had a turnover in management, so things have been changing quite rapidly to benefit the future of the group, and to help us grow and thrive. We have done many performances together, some including the California State Fair, Pacific Rim Festival, performing for The Shriner's Hospital, and have traveled far and wide to many different competitions including San Jose, Merced, and San Diego. Competing has always been an exciting/emotional roller coaster for this group, but we have always powered through with blood, sweat, and tears, to deliver the best entertainment possible, and leave all of our emotions out on the stage. Dancing with this group has created quite the unbreakable bond! You won't regret it :)"

Ripon Academy of Dance

"My daughters first class was an amazing experience for her. She is 3 yrs old. I was able to sit in the back of the class with her until she felt at ease and then marched right to the front of the class and had an instant connection with Miss Lisa. I waited a few moments let her know I would be right out side the window to watch her. She was totally fine with it and I loved as a parent that I could stay and watch her the entire time. I'm 100% a helicopter mom! So this was a perfect set up for me! You could also sit in another section and watch them dance on a tv screen. If your child is more the hey mom look at me! Instead of paying attention to the teacher."

Holly Rochelle Dance Company

"Our daughter has been taking ballet since September and I have seen a huge improvement in her knowledge and confidence. We've attended classes at another studio in town and they don't compare to Holly Rochelle."

Trinity Dance Center

★★★★☆ 3.5 (11)

"My daughter has been with Trinity since Kelly opened her studio in Patterson. Its been 7 years and her business has grown, the kids have grown with her. There are many old friends as well as new ones made. Trinity also has a great teachers including Kelly, Miss Brittney, & great dance helpers.Trinity is an asset to the community. The dancers perform at dance outs in community events as well as competitive dancing. Trinity has a variety of choices, ballet, jazz, tap as well as hip-hop. Patterson is a small town and there are a limited amount of extracurricular activities for kids to do, and I am happy Trinity is one of them. I would recommend this for your child."

Arthur Murray Dance Studios

★★★★☆ 4.1 (37)

"The instructors are very experienced and can help you meet your goals. They are a fun group that will help you fine tune, learn from scratch and or prep for a special event or just work on your confidence. Pricey but worth it."

Elite Studio of Dance

★★★★☆ 4.1 (34)

"If you are searching for dance studio for kids, this is a fun place for kids to learn tap, ballet, hip-hop or Jazz dancing. They do recitals as well which is a 3 minute dance routine on stage. On top of that, to watch the recital parents have to purchase tickets which cost around $15 each."

Academy of Performing Arts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"BEST DANCE STUDIO! www.apaoftracy.comAsk ANYONE who attends APA and they will all surely sing Miss Deborah's praises! She is an amazingly talented teacher! My daughter has been a student of APA for the last 8 years! Miss Deborah will find the dancer in anyone and inspire you to become your best! She works with ALL ages from 2.5 thru Adult. Her motto is it's never to late to start so enrollment is ongoing! The rest of Miss Deborah's staff is just as wonderful as she! Miss Holly, a teacher now, was originally a student of Miss Deborah.
