Studio FX Dance & Performing Arts, Inc.

Taking my son here to get pointers n hip hop dancing and to build confidence. The staff is awesome snd the facility is great. The place that only focus on individual ball and personnel they also work together as a team and so how do you bring a big picture together.

My fiancée & I took private lessons here for our wedding. After our first lesson, I felt like we got a great deal for our money. I had never danced a day in my life & now I feel comfortable enough to get out on the dance floor. I don’t look so awkward. I definitely recommend going here!

This may not be the best review for a person of my demographic (27 years old), but I gave it 4 stars based on what it looked like everyone else taking the class would have given it.
I purchased a Groupon and have heard of Studio FX before so I wanted to give it a shot. I’ve been going to Culture Shock for years and this studio was much closer to my home. I went inside and there were just people sitting around talking and finally one of the women tried to help me since I was just standing there waiting for someone at the front desk. It definitely is a smaller studio and there’s one larger dance floor.
After being helped, the same woman told me to speak with the owner as she was coming out. So I stood in line and waited to sign in. As I looked around, everyone must still be in high school. No joke. So as a joke… i said to the owner, «Man I feel so old her haha.» She told me age isn’t anything but a number… which is true… to an extent I suppose. Haha.
So I go into the beginner hip hop class with Darkie (who also teaches at culture shock), The room fills up with all the kids. The dance was definitely very beginner and Darkie does a great job teaching the basics. I guess every studio is different as far as what level a beginner is if that makes sense. This was a real beginner class compared to what I was used to.
Now if I was still in high school, this place would be perfect! The best way I can explain this is, imagine you’re weightlifting in a gym at my age, with a gym full of 12 – 16 year olds.
Great place, just not for me.

Took my 4-​year old today for his first hip hop lesson. I was afraid he was too young but he fit right in. Most of the kids were about 8 years old to about pre-​teen. The instructor Vanessa, who is also the owner, was great at guiding my little one in feeling comfortable in the class. There were 8 kids in the class so there was lots of personal attention. The class was taught at a great pace for young kids to get the moves right and feel confident. My son loved the experience! We can’t wait to go again!

Good studio, good instructors but the only thing I would change is, PLEASE ADD air conditioning. When the rolling garage doors are up, other neighboring tenants smoke like chimneys and the cigarette smokes drifts into the studio. I probably will not be returning to this studio that often because I don’t want to subject myself to second hand smoke. I’m here to workout, not to become a candidate for cancer.

Great place, but I felt that instructor was more focused on correcting the company members than us little people coming in for a drop-​in lesson. I too would like to know how I can improve. The price is unbeatable but I felt more welcomed elsewhere.

Best dance studio ever. The staff is friendly and if you feel embarrassed taking your first class here … The students and teachers make you feel welcome and actually really enjoyed taking classes here. They have a great variety of classes with great instructors who are really encouraging and break down steps well.

Okay first off, if you’re not from San Diego then you gotta check this studio out. It has so many good teachers, an excellent floor, and a nice staff.
Their rates per class are really competitive and fair, the environment is friendly, and everyone just wants to dance. I don’t think it gets much better than that.
One tip: Keep an eye out on the way to the studio. It’s kind of hard to find your first time, but once you’re there, it’s all good! It’ll be on your right hand side!

Studio FX a studio of San Diego that has paved the way for the dancers in SD. Yes we have a reputable community, and to this day SD breeds somes of the best hip hop dancers out there. This studio has a lot of history within our community and will always be legendary. Send your kids and friends to learn from great choreographers!

I was looking for a hip hop dance crew to perform at my sister’s Sweet 16 party, but got much more. Vanessa, the studio’s owner, not only booked the Syde FX dance crew for me, but also offers a chance for the birthday girl to be a part of the act! It was a wonderful surprise for all of her friends. Vanessa is also a great event day manager as she helped make sure that everything ran smoothly the day of the party. She was a real pleasure to work with and she gets things done! She’s also always easily reachable with any questions or concerns I had. Thank you Vanessa and Syde FX for making my sister’s Sweet 16 a day she’ll never forget!

Studio FX is a pretty nice budding studio. They’re small, but I like the size of their room. I’ve only been twice, but both times weren’t very crowded, and you can see the instructor pretty well.
I’ve done Beginning Hip Hop with Heather Lee and Intermediate with Luis Soto. Both of them were engaging and charismatic. The Beginning class is a true beginner’s class. The Intermediate class is rightfully more advanced, but it moves at a good pace (even though I still had trouble coordinating myself x. x).
I also noticed that a lot of youngins come here. Like HS youngins haha. Which is cool. But just something I noticed. Probably because it’s so close to Mira Mesa.
They have some nice specials sometimes, so be on the lookout on their website!
