My daughter has been a student since she was 3 and loves it. She has taken the KK1 and KK2 classes, and she loves the annual performance at the end of the year. Ms. Erica, Indie, and the whole staff are great. My daughter has learned confidence, teamwork, and discipline, and she has overcome her shyness to perform. She has lots of fun too and loves coming to class More...

Love it! My daughter just finished the summer session for kiddie combo (tap/ballet/tumbling). I have to say our experience was great and I highly recommend this studio for your kiddos. My daughter would just finish the dance class and ask to go again. The music, songs, the teachers are all great, they knew my daughters name by the second class. The last class the parents got to go in and see the kids dance to their songs and my daughter just loved it. She also loved the sticker she would get after each class. We are moving out of the area or I would have signed her up for the year. I hope I can find a dance studio like this one again. Totally worth it. More...

The dance studio offers classes for all ages from 18 months (mommy & me) to adult. My daughter began taking summer classes last year and loved it so much that we signed her up for the pre-ballet and kiddie kombo (tap/ballet/tumbling) classes for the 2015/16 session. We're gearing up for the 2016 Spring show and she's excited about wearing the costumes and performing on stage. The cost of costumes and tickets is additional, but the children are getting the opportunity to perform on a professional stage. Participating in the show isn't mandatory though. However, I think it's really the highlight of the experience. All of the classes from pre-k to adult will be performing various routines.The studio is upstairs in a small building, but has a good-sized waiting area with monitors that display the classes. There aren't any windows facing the waiting area, but I think this is to the benefit of the dancers - it's less distracting. The instructors are friendly, but still provide actual instruction to the little ones. Sometimes, there are pre-teen/teen dancers helping the instructors with the little ones, which helps keep the kids focused. In addition to teaching dance terminology, ballet positions, and routines, the instructors reinforce early learning concepts such as direction (left-right, forward-backward, etc.), gross motor skills, and social skills. My favorite part is that my daughter is having fun and I do really love the mini-routines the kids perform for the parents every few months at the end of class. We're looking forward to another year at The Dance Affair. More...

My fiance and I came to Erica to learn our first dance for the wedding. Erica was fantastic! She was so kind, patient and helpful! She helped us put together the music (we did a combination of slow and fast songs) and created an easy & fun routine for our first dance. Â The dance was a big success on the wedding day! Her price is also very reasonable for her qualify work. Â Thank you so much Erica! More...

Wow. Â What a find. We hosted our 6 year old daughter's birthday party at Dance Affair. Â The owner, Erica Fairfield, is a fantastic person - very nice and courteous. Â We went with the package where they took care of everything - decorations, cake, snack, goodie bags, a craft activity for the kids, and of course, the dancing. Â All arrangements were done very nicely, and it was obvious that Erica had paid attention to all details. Â The kids had a blast, and the adults had a nice relaxing time. Â Highly recommended for a hassle free party that kids will love. Â Great value for money! More...

My daughters dance at the Dance Affair and we love it. Â They offer such a wide range of dance classes that my daughters are becoming very well rounded dancers. Â The studio does not participate in competitions so the atmosphere is very relaxed and like a family. Â Each and every one of the instructors are loving and patient with the students. More...

My 3 year old daughter is in the tap/ballet class and she loves it. Ms. Erica and Ms. Indie are really good with the little ones they encourage them and make them feel comfortable. This is her first year round class but she started in the 6 weeks summer session which is the best thing to do as a trial if you're not sure that the school or dance is for your child. Obviously we were satisfied with the summer session we went ahead and signed her up for the long run. Thoughout the year they perform small routines to show the parents and to get the children comfortable performing in front of an audience. The main performance is the annual end of the year recital which happens in June. Can't wait to see it. Staff is professional and kind and really help you with all of your questions and needs.

My 11 year old daughter has been taking dance with Miss Erica since she was 3 and she love, love, loves the Dance Affair! Her goal is to get her 15 year trophy when she gradutes from high school:) The facility and staff are very professional, but also very friendly and inclusive of all levels of experience and ability . A great time is had by all at the annual recital, and there are some fun little dance outs to get everyone ready for dancing in front of an audience. Even the littlest ones do amazingly well (although so cute it wouldn't matter) and they really enjoy it. More...

We started with Miss Erika & Miss Indie a few months ago & my 4 year old twins LOVE it! Â It is such wonderful place to learn dance & have fun. My girls have taken gymnastics & other movement classes. I thought it was time we moved on to actual 'lessons'. Â Miss Indie is a great teacher & the kids have so much fun they don't even realize they are learning a dance!The price is good, location is pretty convenient, everything is clean & they have a lot of classes to choose from.Hope this helps!

This weekend was the year end recital of her dance studio, The Dance Affair, in San Jose. Â It was a 2 hour extravaganza with varied acts featuring 3 year olds who look just adorable in their costumes to 18 year olds who are graduating and heading off to college. Â There were over 150 dance students and their parents with cameras ready to document their stage debuts. Â My daughter and her class mates were adorable (yes I am biased!). Â They knew their steps, were in sync and most of all were confident.Erica Fairfield, school founder and her entire staff (including her daughter, Indie) are excellent. Â They are the epitome of patient. Â Like pied pipers, they magically lead all these energetic kids into learning tap, jazz and ballet while having fun. Â My daughter simply loves her class and wishes she could spend every free moment there. Â I remember the first day we took classes there and that I had to pry her clinging hands and feet off my leg. Â Now after several years, she hops up the stairs and into class without looking back. Â My baby is growing up. Â (Aw shucks!)I can not sing their praises enough. Thanks Erica and Team! More...

My two daughters attend Miss Ericas dance studio, my oldest has been attending for 5 years. This studio is such a blessing, I would (and have) recommended it to all my mommy friends. Not only does this studio offer children lessons, they also offer lessons for adults. The family atmosphere makes you want to keep going to the classes. If you are interested in a studio that puts you at ease with your children, then the dance affair is the place. More...
