Expressions Dance & Movement Center, Santee CA

Love this Studio! EDMC and the staff are fantastic! Love Ms. Natalia, she is so energetic with the kids, inspiring and just AmaZing! My little gal loves her classes!

Awsome teachers, very dedicated. Children love them and enjoy every single minute! Thank you for the best time of their childhood and beautiful memories!

Miss Sabrina and the teachers that work with her have been such an inspiration to our daughter as she enters the dance world!

I suppose maybe they are good at teaching dance, but maybe not good at being original or having very high moral standards. It is known Expressions representatives have been seen at other dance studios shows trying to persuade people to leave their current dance studio to attend Expressions, and stealing the dance routines from other dance studios. It's always intriguing to see another studios routines be taught at Expressions soon after the other studios put on a show. Come in Expressions, be original and don't steal other studios material. Maybe that's just how businesses are ran, and it's a shame.

My daughter loves, loves, loves Miss Kiana and Miss Kyla so much! She told me, "They're both so fun and pretty! And awesome dancers! " She thought she couldn't love another dance teacher as much as she loved Miss Shaylin and Miss Peyten (her first teachers), but it turns out there's more love to go around:)

Miss Katie is our daughter’s ballet teacher and we could not be more thrilled with her! She is wonderful with the kids and so, so encouraging! Our daughter is thriving in her class and it is all because of Miss Katie!

Mr. Brian is her hip hop teacher and he is doing a fabulous job! She loves coming to hip hop each week and learning from him!

We love Ms. Brittany's class. Learned so much in such a short time. Everyone at the studio has been professional, kind and welcoming. Thank you!

Miss. Shaylin is amazing with all her students, but especially her Darby’s classes! Her patience in class amazes me. She is aware of what each student needs, even those who can’t tell her with their words. We are so thankful to have her as our daughters teacher!

Love Mrs Kendra and my daughter looks forward to dance every week. I Plan on bringing all my kids through edmc and hopefully Mrs Kendra!

Thank you Miss Carina, Jazz 1 Monday 5: 30 and Miss Katie, Ballet 1 Thursday 5: 00 for your wonderful classes! Ashley loves practicing the recital dances at home. Great song choices!

My girls have been taking dance classes at Expressions for almost five years now, and we love the studio. Their teachers are all fabulous. Allow me to gush a bit about them.:) Miss Brittany is so positive and inspiring. She makes everything fun and sees the potential and unique gifts in each dancer. She also leads the performing groups with such wisdom and grace. I love how she’s helping my daughter define success by her own growth and attitude, not by comparing herself to others. Miss Katie is so talented! She exudes joy and love in her teaching and has helped my girls learn to do the same when they dance! She has also inspired my youngest not only to be a ballerina, but to someday choreograph and direct ballets of her own! Miss Peyten is another teacher my girls love. She is so welcoming, energetic and strong! She shows my girls dance isn’t just about flexibility, but strength! I am so impressed by her ability to watch a dancer do an acro skill and immediately give thoughtful praise and the perfect pointers afterwards! Miss Kiana, too, is so inspiring! My girls and I are amazed by her dancing ability in all genres. Watching Kiana dance hip hop inspired my 8 year old to try hip hop for the first time this year, and when she saw Miss Kiana was going to be her teacher, she was in awe.:) Miss Karen teaches a leadership class my older daughter has taken for two years, and she does a wonderful job encouraging the girls and helping them apply the things they learn. She has made my daughter feel seen and special. And Miss Darcy - she is wonderful. Her vision for the studio informs all she does, and she teaches with so much passion for dance and love for her dancers. She is an exceptional leader, mentor and role model. We are so grateful to be part of the Expressions family!

We have enjoyed having our daughters at Expressions Dance. Shaylin is a great instructor, patient, fun and encouraging. My girls have learned a lot and look forward to going to dance class.

First season with EDMC and we love it!

Experiences with in-class teachers:
-Miss Shaylin is amazing with kids! Very kind, fun, patient, and professional!
-Miss Ella is always very calm and helpful with wrangling the kids back in. Always professional.

Experiences with desk:
-Miss Kendra is very helpful & knowledgeable, and never lets on that any question was probably the 20th time she answered it that day which makes her very easy to talk to
-Miss Anika is very helpful and easy to talk to; very approachable.

The rest of the teachers we have yet to encounter, but I’m sure they’re all fabulous

Great studio for our toddler. We started taking Saturday morning class when she was 2 years old and it was fantastic. Teachers are so warm and friendly and best of all had a great structure to the Ballet/Tap class. I'm sure it wasn't easy having little ones running around but Ms. Alexandra was fantastic at teaching and keeping the girls engaged. The best part is the recital where you see all their efforts pay off, super adorable.

We love Kianna, and our daughter loves going to hip hop and acro with her! It's been such a fun year watching her grow as a dancer, and get stronger, too!

Mrs. Kyla is an amazing teacher. She is so kind. Thank you for being my teacher.

My daughter has had a few wonderfully sweet teachers at this studio. Hip hop/acro class with Ms. Shalin- who is fun, kind, and supportive of her dancers. Jr. Level ballet with Ms. Alexandria & Ms. Sabrina (who took over mid season). Both ballet instructors are kind, and provide instruction using ballet terminology/positioning in order to foster foundational knowledge and technique. Acro.class with Ms. Keana, who is very supportive, encouraging, and works with dancers at their ability/comfort level.

Overall, the experience with the studio has been positive and my daughter is enjoying her dance journey.

Expressions dance teachers are THE best! My daughters have been part of the dance family for 5 years now and couldn’t be happier. Their teachers always provide a welcoming, fun, and safe environment. They focus not only on building dance technique and skills, but on creating self confidence and healthy habits. My girls look forward to classes every week!
