Endeavor School of the Arts

Very disappointing. I came here to take my first Adult Ballet class about a month ago. The class was very enjoyable and the teacher Sydney was sweet and moved at my pace, which was important since it was my first dance class ever. I have nothing negative to say about the class provided.
However… When I first called Endeavor to look into pricing I was told that classes were $ 15 for drop ins and paying ahead for a full set of classes was much cheaper, but because of where we were in the current schedule (two classes left until the end of that «semester») I couldn’t take advantage of the bulk class discount until the next semester started. Fine with me! When I showed up to pay for my first single class I was charged $ 10… Cheaper than quoted! Even more fine with me.
Endeavor had a scheduled closure for a few weeks and then would reopen for the new semester. I asked if I could pay for my package on the last day of classes before the closure, however the front desk lady was either too busy or too lazy to run the transaction and she told me that taking care of it at the start of next semester wouldn’t be a problem… So I waited.
Now that the new semester has started the prices have nearly doubled and they now refuse to offer me the up front payment discount for the full set of classes, and every time I have called I have gotten different information on how much the class will cost. My friend attended last week and paid $ 15, tonight I paid $ 20 for a drop in. When I asked how much it was for a full set of classes I was told they no longer offer that option.
Needless to say, their unprofessionalism has lost my business.
Good thing for me that Jimmy DeFore provides much better quality classes for a cheaper price, with a wide array of adult classes to choose from. I highly recommend heading to Jimmy DeFore if you are looking for Adult dance classes!
Major bummer Endeavor! :(I was hoping to attend both dance schools, but at least your inability to set a standard price and communicate that to your customers has saved me a good chunk of money.

This place is terrible. They are extremely disorganized, the lobby is like a war zone, and nobody ever seems to know what is going on. They allow the girls to walk around looking like harlots, and if you have the nerve to complain about anything, they blow you off, and look at you like you are crazy. If you are looking for a dance school for your child I would steer clear of this place!

My daughter-​in-​law and I have been taking adult adult hip hop classes here for about 4 years now and LOVE it! Our experience with the studio and staff has always been positive and we have a blast during class. Louisa at the front desk is always helpful and has a smile for us. We also just enrolled my 2 yr old granddaughter for tap/​ballet class Sat. morning and the instructor is very in tune with the little ones and they really enjoy the class.

I found out about this place when i was looking for a new studio to take my daughter to last summer… we had been at a different dance studio in east side costa mesa (that i’ll leave unnamed) and i was tired of being ripped off for toddler dance lessons. I was really happy when i found that Endeavor’s prices were really reasonable and i was sold when i saw how at-​ease my daughter felt with her teachers! The classes aren’t too big and aren’t too small. And my daughter has a really fun time with the Happy Feet class that she’s in (which is half tap and half ballet) I was really impressed also that while the teachers keep it fun for the attention span of a 4 year old, they also DO incorporate actual technique… so i feel like she’s getting introduced to the discipline it takes to become a dancer. Everyone is so nice… as a dancer (once upon a time…) i wanted to check out their adult classes, and i was just as happy with those! They are fun, aren’t uncomfortable for someone who has danced in a few years and is rusty… but they still manage to make it feel like a good challenge… like you’re actually improving rather than going into a room with a bunch of bored moms who are looking to shed weight or pick it up as a hobby! (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with those classes or women… don’t get me wrong!) I only mean that it makes everyone (for whatever reason they’re in there) feel like they are DANCERS while they’re in there! which is the point!
You can buy an adult fitness card… i bought the 12 classes for $ 90 bucks… and u can use them for whatever class you’d like. I even take the pilates class – and it’s more affordable and better than a lot of specialized pilates studios you could go to!
All in all, whether it’s for yourself or your children, this is a great studio and it’s so welcoming and accepting… and best of all: easy on your wallet!

Ballet, Tap, Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical… I’m having the time of my life!
