I started to tap as an over 30 adult—as a means of exercise and because of my love of tap dancing. I have been going to the adult tap classes at Agoura Dance Center for some time now and I must say that this has been/is one of the best tap experiences I have ever had.



Betsy is a skilled teacher and also adept at handling classes of adults who have varying levels of experience – even though we all might fall under the “Intermediate” label. Invariably, there are some things that come easier and some things come harder to each one of us.



Every week this class challenges me and also makes me feel that I am making progress. It is a perfect mix and a testament to Betsy’s commitment to her craft. Affirmation is also a part of Betsy’s class. The spirit that she instills in the group is a pleasure to participate in. It is about enjoying as we work on our skills and technique—the feelings are positive and it is a time that I look forward to every week.



I have been through a year of Beginning classes and a year of Intermediate at Agoura Dance Center. These comments apply to my total experience…I have brought two friends along to join me in the classes here and would heartily recommend these tap classes to anyone who is a taper or would like to give it a try.

I cannot recommend this dance studio enough. My 13 year old daughter transferred to Agoura Dance after being at a different dance studio for several years. Before transferring we were concerned that she would not be welcomed as many of the girls have been dancing at the studio for years.



We were pleasantly surprised at the warm inviting environment of a Agoura Dance. My daughter was immediately placed in classes suitable for her experience, treated with dignity and respect by all of the teachers and staff, and warmly welcomed by the lovely ladies in her class. I also enjoyed getting to know the other dance families when I worked back stage and felt that my daughter was in wonderful environment from all perspectives. Bottom line, she was encouraged to grow as a person and as a dancer.

Agoura Dance has a percentage of parents who seem to be unhappy. Often some parents are left with the feel of a micromanage dance company. Mandatory dance language Is not clear when often special students are given a pass and are not asked to make up. This practice often gives a feeling of partial favoritism for the remaining dancers in class. School requests students arrive on time (as professionals should) and yet teachers are often late and students are waiting. MOSTLY concerned with amount of energy my children give to studio during the year and yet the teacher(s) provide minimal incentive and training for top training levels. Some VIP instructors need to remember who their clients are - children who wish to learn and appreciate the arts. This should be the first goal of any studio. The entire staff should help to encourage dancing and not go out of their way to embarrass small and older children. The dance location is a safe area for kids - children supportive of each other and help each other out. Variety of classes offered. Review all studios of interest in the area, select the studio that best fits your family. NO ONE wishes for their children to feel NEGATIVE when they have given their best potential . Heart2Dance

I was looking for adult dance classes and decided to check this place out, since they offered the most variety for us older folk, plus they are at night which was a huge plus for me so I could go to them after work. I was hooked after my first adult tap class. It was incredibly fun and brought the child out inside of me. If anyone has ever taken a tap class, even if it was 50 years ago, I highly recommend taking a tap class here from Betsy. It is so nice to be in a class where I am not the oldest one by 30 years! I had originally planned on just taking one class, but I am now in 3 and enjoy every minute of it. I highly recommend this dance studio. The staff is professional and very friendly and it is a fun atmosphere. All of the kids that I see there always have smiles on their faces, so it seems great for children as well.

A million stars for the best studio

very good and clean, has really improved, now great food

The staff is caring and helpful. The instructors are extremely talented professionals. Everyday my daughter can not wait to get home from school so she can go to the studio. Their program is superb. Five stars is not enough!
