South Coast Conservatory - San Clemente

The best place to learn to dance in Orange County. They also have some incredible gymnastics coaches teaching acro and tumbling here.

My daughters have been dancing at SCC for over 3 years and we could not be more pleased. The instructors are wonderful and teach the students the proper technique from the start. My youngest started when she was 2.5 and even at that age they made sure they were doing the dance steps correctly. The instructors love teaching dance and it shows; they have a passion for teaching and it makes the kids get that same passion.

The annual performance is more than just a bunch of dance classes getting on stage for a few minutes then off they go. There is always a theme (ex: Princess & the frog, Disneyland, Neverland, etc) that all the dances as well as musical theatre classes have in common which makes it a full show and as an audience member you want to see the entire show.

The wide range of dance styles offered makes it a well rounded studio that will make any dancer happy!

This studio is in the Sprouts shopping center. Plenty of parking. They offer a good variety of classes. I've joined the teen/ adult hip hop class and Mookie is the instructor there. He also teaches at the Laguna Niguel location. I think it's a newer location so there aren't a ton of class options for my age group. I hope they add an all adult class! Fingers crossed ;)

Fabulous studio and teachers. We left another local dance studio to come to SCC and my daughters confidence was restored by the friendly students and excellent teaching. She has improved her dancing tremendously after attending SCC for just under a year. The conservatory programs and new pre pro programs are excellent and the recitals are themed which we love.
