Ive participated in many dance studios and Tap Fever is definitely the best. Individual attention during classes is the norm. The instructors are skilled in teaching how to memorize dance pieces. Level-appropriate basics are covered well in classes, and then augmented by challenge pieces, for fun. The instructors are all warm, friendly, and energetic.The studio has ample air flow from 3 sides along with several fans to enhance the flow for times when there are pandemic concerns. I used to have to wear knee braces all the time at a previous dance studio. I found I could stop after dancing for some time at Tap Fever. Im pretty sure its the floor flexibility that has made the difference for me. The studio is aesthetically lovely too.

My daughter has been taking classes from Tap Fever (Hip Hop, Jazz, Contemporary, Tap and Ballet) for almost a year and a half. Because of the wonderful instructors my daughter has fallen in love with Dance - THANK YOU! In that time my daughter has performed at recitals, competitions, senior homes and special events.At only her second competition she took First Place with a wonderful performance choreographed my Mariah (Instructor) and placed in her last three competitions.She has made great friends and the girls are so close you would think they are sisters.As a DANCE DAD I though I might feel awkward with all those Dance Moms here. But, that was not the story. Now, many of those Dance Moms are friends with both my wife and I.Thank you to all the staff at Tap Fever. You bring a smile from ear to ear on my daughters face.

This studio is so accommodating to dancers with injuries! Also a very creative team of dance teachers. Cardio tap is a great way to ease back into working out- even for beginners!

My daughter LOVED to dance before Tap Fever!Her mother and I can both move... so rythm is in her blood.We even have a disco ball for dance parties at home:)Here is what I experienced at this small studio.The owner: cold, seemingly fake smile kinda irritated her desk in in the lobby forcing her to interact with people... acts like theres something better for her to do than you/me.I get it though... shes busy and her job is rent and keep the doors open... whatever... I care about the product/results...my daughters happiness... you do you! Im just being honest with how this woman came off to me.Unfortunately, as a result of her persona, the parents (moms) that I met were the same way...and their daughters as well.This is an example of the environment nurtured!The owners personality was magnified in these dance moms!There was definitely a ring leader to the click here...like the movie portrayal of the typical head-cheerleader in highschool (a total B and a bully... you know, where other girls followed her cuz they were afraid she would turn on them?!)THAT is this parents waiting area.It was never a comfortable situation waiting in the parents waiting area if you werent part of the blonde mom crew.ha. Such a joke.But really... who cares, im there for my daughter...The only problem...the girls were clicky and acted like their moms.I didnt find out until after i asked her if she wanted to sign up for dance again!No thank you daddyWhy girl?The girls just werent very nice to me.My daughter gets straight As, plays violin and piano, receives roll model awards MONTHLY at school and is friends with EVERYONE!!!Parents and kids alike all say hi to her every chance they get! She gives off so much happiness and positive energy, you cant imagine!The culture here st Tap Fever, by the owner, the mothers, the girls...is like a bad Netflix documentary...unfriendly and it killed my girls spirit in a way ive never seen :(This has everything to do with the environment YOU nurture as a business owner!Heres the other frustrating parts about how this studio is run: finding shoes Tap Fever stated were required, NEARLY impossible. Tap and hip hop shoes that fit properly are a nightmare...as i have heard from other parents. Their dance supply referral has nothing in stock. I cant express how many online returns i had to make and trips to La Mesa to the dance store. So much time i dont have and money wasted...but WORTH IT...cuz my baby girl LOVES to dance! Or should i say loved.My daughter is tall, very lean and strong. Easily a prima ballerina. She loved ballet and her mother and i tall former professional athletes...I would play Vivaldi or her Suzuki violin cd and my girl would dance and spin around the house like she already knew ballet...When a favorite pop song came on, she would spaz out with this made up lightning fast tap dancing routine i had hoped she would continue well into puberty (an easy boy deterrent.haha)Since Tap Fever, and their culture, shes stopped dancing.I literally hate this place.Is it cuz im the only guy?Is it cuz my daughters got brown skin?Weve been involved in music, dance, sports, chess, martial arts programs etc...we have never been disregarded or been made to feel so unwelcomed. We have AMAZING relationships with all her instructors.I would give negative stars if I could... im sickened my the culture bred here in these kids hip hop and tap classes.Youd rant like this too if someone stole your little girls love of dance.

I have been dancing with Tap Fever Studios for a month, and have only good things to say about them! I love that they offer classes in all dance styles: tap, jazz, ballet, contemporary, hip-hop AND fitness classes (cardio tap and dancer flow yoga). They are also all-inclusive, offering classes for everybody from 2 year olds, to seniors, to people with disabilities. The teachers at Tap Fever are very passionate about dancing, and just want to share that with everybody, regardless of age or ability. Speaking of the teachers, they are all fun, kind, and work hard to make the classes upbeat and engaging. I am taking the Adult Intermediate Tap class, and Larisa (the teacher and studio director) is very encouraging and pushes us to challenge ourselves in a fun and safe environment. Another class I have been taking that I love is the Cardio Tap class. These are offered multiple times per week, in both the daytime and evening, which is so great for those of us with busy schedules. If you are looking for a fun way to get some exercise, this is the class for you. It is structured like a Zumba class, with the teacher leading you through set dances to upbeat music. Though these classes definitely make me sweat, they are always filled with smiles, laughter, and a lot of great jamming out. Overall, Tap Fever is a well-run, supportive studio, and I would encourage anybody (regardless of previous dance experience) to take classes here.

I love love LOVE this studio! So big and spacious, and everyone there is so friendly! The owner is kind and helpful to everyone, JJ is so funny and easy going- I love taking his class, and Mariah is so skilled and lighthearted, the kids adore her!This is an amazing studio. They even offer a free week at the beginning of each session so you can try every class they offer and see which one(s) you want to take! I never thought I would be tap dancing, but the cardio tap class is a great workout and really fun! Im also taking ballet with Mariah, and hip hop with JJ, and my son takes classes there too.I am so glad I found it!
