We enjoy dancing in Spectrum Dance Center.
I attended Teacher Maria for ballet class and she is best in town. This year very fortunately we had Jazz Teacher Janell to do the choreography and taught us for our September performance l. It was a success.
I highly recommend Spectrum Dance Center.
Spectrum Dance Center is a gem!!! The vibes of the entire studio and staff are so positive and delightful. ☀️ I’ve been to several dance studios in OC and this is the first studio that feels like a family - the teachers are attending each other’s classes and always recommending us to try other classes. It feels like such a supportive adult environment!
This review is mainly going to be for Dylan’s Tahitian dance classes! For some background, I’ve dabbled in different styles of dance but haven’t taken a dance class since before the pandemic. At the start of 2024, I wanted to get back into dance and decided to look into Spectrum Dance Center. Janell was the one that picked up the phone and helped answer all of my questions. She convinced me to do a trial week of different classes. I was also traveling in the middle of the week, and Janell was so accommodating and let me split up my trial week and gave me extra time! She even continued to text me throughout my trial to check up on me. So after trying out different classes, I was immediately settled on DYLAN’S TAHITIAN CLASSES!
Dylan’s teaching style is amazing and he is SO FUN!! Tahitian dance has beautiful deep cultural roots and Dylan is passionate about sharing the culture. We learn the meanings behind moves and songs and the Tahitian vocabulary, which is something I really appreciate. I love how Dylan explains the feelings of a song and breaks down each move to each lyric. Currently Dylan teaches 2 days a week, one day is a more high intensity day (mostly dancing to drum beats) and the other day is a lower intensity, graceful dancing day. Dylan calls it 🌪️ day and 🦋 day, respectively. I have really been enjoying both styles of classes. We learn new short routines and also add onto existing choreo. My thighs were on fire the very first day haha but I feel my stamina improving after taking Dylan’s classes!
If you’re looking for a new style of dance to try, give Tahitian a go!!! It feels beautifully feminine, grounding, and it is a CARDIO workout!! I’ve found a new love in this dance form 🌼
