I have been dancing here at West Coast Dance since I was in kindergarten and I can’t recall a single bad memory. WCDC has become my home and I have spent countless months here improving myself as a dance and a person thanks to the amazing teachers that have become mentors in my life. My very first class here was with Ms. Shelby and she has been here with me every season for the past 8 years forming me into the dancer I am now. More recently, Mrs. Gabby has also become a teacher I will value my whole life because of her motivation and supportiveness throughout the years. Mrs. Fela is such an important aspect of our studio home and keeps us together. 10/10 experience!!!!

I just cannot say enough good things about WCDC . My family absolute loves West Coast Dance Complex! It really feels like more than just a dance studio, it feels like family and is definitely our daughter’s second home! Our daughter has made so many great memories, friendships and has grown so much technically and as a performer being here. The teachers are all amazing. We absolutely love participating in the competitive teams under Miss Shelbi and Miss Gabby! You can tell how much they truly care about the kids. The competition team is so much fun and the training is incredible. We also love that there is such a strong ballet program and how much emphasis they put on technique. My daughter loves Miss Erin and had the best time performing in Wonka this past season! We are so thankful we found West Coast and for all the teachers who have played a part in our daughter’s dance journey. We wouldn’t want her anywhere else!
We absolutely love West Coast Dance Complex! Our daughter is part of the competition team and we couldn’t be happier with her experience. The teachers are so supportive, encouraging and genuinely care about helping their dancers grow both on and off the stage. Our daughter especially loves Miss Shelbi and Miss Gabby! They have both made such a positive impact on her and have helped make dance something she truly looks forward to. We are so grateful for all the time, patience and heart they put into teaching and supporting their dancers. We highly recommend West Coast Dance Complex to any family looking for a welcoming, positive, and inspiring dance studio. We feel so lucky to be part of this dance family! ❤️
My daughters attended a dance summer camp at West Coast 5 years ago and loved it! Fast forward and my daughters joined West Coast this summer full time! After leaving a difficult studio situation my dancers were welcomed with open arms by the teachers and students! The environment is both rigorous and nurturing…something we have not seen at other studios. The facility is beautiful and is full of positive energy. My eldest daughter was in a pre-professional ballet program and the ballet academy at West Coast has exceeded our expectations! My daughter feels challenged, motivated and went into her summer intensive with her joy of dancing back! On top of ballet West Coast offers a variety of other classes that has inspired my daughters and made them more well-rounded! The contemporary and lyrical classes are favorites! If you are looking for a studio to challenge your dancer while also looking out for mental wellness this is the place!
This is a great dance studio for any level. They are accommodating and truly care about each dancer. My daughter has been taking classes here almost every day for more than five years and there’s still no place she’d rather be.
We absolutely LOVE West Coast Dance Complex! My daughters have been dancing here for years, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about this studio. It has become such a special place for our family. The teachers and staff are incredible. They are talented, professional, encouraging, and truly care about each dancer. I love how they challenge my daughters to grow and become stronger dancers while also building their confidence, discipline, and love for dance. You can tell how much the teachers genuinely care about their students and want to see them succeed. My girls absolutely love being at the studio. They have grown so much, not only technically as dancers, but also personally. They have made wonderful friendships, created amazing memories, and found a place where they feel happy, supported, and inspired. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of the West Coast Dance Complex family and would highly recommend this studio to anyone looking for excellent dance training in a positive, supportive, and welcoming environment.
