We have been with the Rocklin Academy of Dance since their grand opening. My daughter has taken ballet, Afro, musical theater, contemporary, jazz, hip hop, tap and lyrical. We absolutely love this studio. It is like our second family. The kids respect and love their teachers and have so much fun at the same time. We highly recommend Rocklin Academy of Dance to every family out there.
