This is not and never has been a good environment for proper instruction on the principles of dance. It started back when Christine, Jennifer, and Stephanie Boyd started The Brea Dance Center over 20 years ago. Most if not all instructors were linked to some sort of alcohol/drug abuse. Upon learning of new ownership, quite a few years back..... I watched the instruction being given in classes. The quality is poor, as well as the instructors themselves lack the proper knowledge of "DANCE". The younger the instructor, the more back ground questions should be asked. Are they even qualified to be teaching, do they understand the seriousness of injury due to lack of proper principal instruction? Is the need to compete and the desire to win always repeated. I from personal experience, do not recommend this dance studio at all. It brought me heartbreak, i was taught all the wrong values, i was then introduced as a young teen into alcohol and drug abuse by instructors i worshipped as Gods. Please parents, be very careful, watchful and inquisitive as to the background of these so called instructors. Just a warning, i would not want any of your children to end up as i did.
