Sahuarita Dance Center - Green Valley, Arizona

Mary Boddie

Sahuarita Dance Center deserves more than 5 stars! Both the gymnastics and Folklórico classes are absolutely wonderful. My daughter loves every minute she spends there, and it's clear how much the instructors care about each student’s progress and well-being. The gymnastics program is fun and engaging, with coaches who truly know how to bring out the best in each child while making sure they are safe and building confidence.

The Folklórico classes are a beautiful experience as well, teaching not only the art of dance but also an appreciation for culture and tradition. The instructor is incredibly talented and passionate, and it shows in how she interacts with the students.

Overall, the atmosphere at Sahuarita Dance Center is positive and welcoming. The staff and instructors create a nurturing environment where kids feel supported and excited to learn. We couldn’t be happier with the experience, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality dance and gymnastics programs!

My girls have been going to Sahuarita Dance Studio for several years now and we have had nothing but positive experiences there. All of the dance teachers are loving, kind, and very experienced. They help the kids gain confidence and feel special. Michelle, the owner, is so sweet and caring. You can tell she loves her job! Their production of The Nutcracker is also top notch!

Best dance studio in the area! Their prices are very reasonable and the dance, cheer and gymnastics coaches are great! No other studio in the area has a prior UA gymnast and current gymnastics meets judge, and a prior professional ballerina for the Russian ballet, among many other talented coaches as part of its staff.

The director, a professionally trained ballerina, has a lot of passion for what she does and a great vision for her students.

My daughter has been dancing at SDC for five years now and the teachers and fellow dance moms have become a part of our family. ?

By far the best dance studio in the area!! Their dance and gymnastics classes are awesome! They have great instructors that teach students fundamental technique. Their prices are very affordable. The end of the year dance recital and Christmas show are beautiful. We have been with SDC for over 5 years and are proud to belong to the SDC family ! <3.

I am thrilled to have my girls dancing at Sahuarita Dance Center where they are trained by beautiful, professional teachers who love what they do. Owner, Michele, works tirelessly to bring a comprehensive dance program to our little town, complete with summer intensive camps, competition and community events. The Christmas shows are always stunning! Not to miss! As a dance family or an audience member you will not be disappointed! I can whole heartedly reccomend this dance studio to anyone looking to give their children the gift of a dance education. ?❤

If your Black or POC this is not the studio for you. Experienced and witnessed cultural and present day numbness from the studio in their costumes and how they treat dancers. Communication is terrible and inconsistent. Technique and safety is not taught in dance or gymnastics. Does not give dedicated students a chance to improve their skills. The professionals they hire for pictures are garbage and overcharge for washed out images

I sent an email voicing very serious concerns and never received a reply. We have unenrolled our dancer. Parents are nice though.

For the past 12 years my daughter has had the privilege of taking classes from exceptional teachers from around the globe at SDC. We have watched her grow in technique and confidence over the years, developing into a beautiful dancer. SDC has been a second home for our dancer, as she learns from the best! The studio is conveniently located, monthly fees are comparable or lower than similar classes, and the teachers are highly qualified. Drop in and try a class!!!

After thirteen years at this dance studio, I can confidently recommend it above all others in the area for the best combination of proper technique training and a loving and nurturing environment where students can grow and flourish in character, passion, and the rigours of dance technique. We are very fortunate to have a studio of this caliber in our community. My daughter began taking classes at SDC when she was 3 yrs. old, and will be a Senior in H.S. this year. She is on a championship dance team, and heading to New York next week to compete in the International Model and Talent competition with a dance solo, in great part because of Sahuarita Dance Center and its owner, Michele Igasan, who is not only a professionally-trained ballerina, but genuinely loves and cares for each student. Because of her passion for dance and drive for excellence, the owner hires the best teachers from around the world to train students...Professional ballerinas from Russia, Championship U of A gymnasts, and Nat'l award-winning hip-hop dancers. This is a dance studio you can count on for the right training with prices well-below what could be charged for the quality of training given. As a parent who was not a dancer, I feel very fortunate to have found SDC. When we began our dance adventure, I did not know the importance of checking to be sure instructors were well-qualified dancers. Be certain, wherever you go, that your child is trained in proper technique from the beginning. It can be very difficult to "undo" and re-teach proper dance technique. I have met several parents over the years who moved to SDC, believing their child was a competitive dancer for his/her age, only to be surprised and dismayed that their prior training was not adequate. Take it from a parent who was fortunate, despite my naivete, that Sahuarita Dance Center is the best in the area and will train your child with the utmost excellence.
