  • "This is our second year at SCC and we are very happy. I feel that they really listen to their students, tune into what they are passionate about, and help foster growth in those areas. Watching my little girls dance is the highlight of my week. ???? Big shout out to Ms. Melanie. She’s a great instructor."

  • "The SCC teachers are very patient with the dancers. While the dancers are having fun they are also learning technique, correct terminology and everything they need to know to become a successful dancer. Dancing has given Brooklyn a huge confidence boost. I look forward to watching her grow with SCC in the years ahead."

  • "Amazing school. So sorry we took so long to find it yet so happy we finally did. So many dance schools are toxic - teachers with poor boundaries, teachers getting too personally attached to students because they don’t have their own children, teachers being too picky yet the reality is that they just are not good at teaching, limited hours with limited amount of dance teachers…if you are a parent you can go on with other experiences, I’m sure. Not South Coast Conservancy. So grateful we finally found a class act studio with professional teachers. We feel like we are in NYC here!"

  • "This is my daughter’s second year at SCC. She LOVES it. Not only is she learning a lot, but the teachers are kind and make it fun! They have a FREE program for kids with special needs. My son looks forward to going and wishes it was every day. We are thankful for SCC!"
