Luna Dance Studio is wonderful because of the quality of the dances they teach, the warm and cheerful instructors and the lovely environment they've created. I wish they'd let me know that their signage isn't visible from the street so it would have been easier to find. Its right between Baskin Robbins and School of Rock. My daughter went from shy girl to super star dancer after attending dance camps and doing classes here. A big thank you to Nadeen the owner!

Luna Dance Studio has had a hugely positive effect on my daughter's life! After one week of dance camp in the summer and a session of weekly classes with Nadeen, my daughter's confidence and love of dancing has grown exponentially. We just love Nadeen's sense of style and fun. I can't recommend this studio highly enough, you won't regret it. We're thrilled to be part of the Luna Dance Studio family. PS - they offer twice weekly free Zumba classes for adults!

I am so glad that my daughter and I found Luna Dance! My daughter is 6 and has been with Miss Nadeen for almost two years now. She takes ballet and hip hop classes and she loves them both. And I mean loves... We were introduced to Nadeen through a friend who put together a class for our daughters and some other kids in her preschool. I am so thankful because now Luna Dance is a big part of our life and Miss Nadeen is a teacher, mentor and friend. She owned her own studio for over ten years before she moved to the Bay Area and she spent years as a preschool teacher at the Palo Alto JCC and she

The adult hip hop class at Luna Dance Studio is the most engaging and energizing dance class I've ever taken! Nadeen is a crazy talented dancer and choreographer and she's super positive and upbeat. She brings a ton of positive energy to every session and makes each week a class in both confidence and skill. Not to mention every session is a killer workout. An hour of straight cardio that works every muscle and still seems to fly by because of the fun choreography and overall energy in the class. Her adult classes are for all dance levels and Nadeen makes a point in every session to ensure

My daughter has been dancing with Nadeen for four years and she really is the best! She has a very special way of talking with the kids and they respond to her so well. The performances are so so fun with amazing costumes. I also take the adult hip hop which is the highlight of my week. Thank you to Nadeen for creating such a wonderful community of dancers.
