Scripps Performing Arts Academy Carmel Valley in San Diego, California

“I am beyond glad that we started our daughteru2019s ballet journey (and soon her musical theater journey) here! The staff is everything and after just one year attending they feel more like family - it is such a loving and caring environment here. I also appreciate that itu2019s a little more laid back than some - for instance the yearly u201crecitalu201d is really a u201cdemonstration of learningu201d and doesnu2019t require any fancy costume.”

“Not what was expected. One child one had three people in the class including him. My other child only had five including herself so it was a very small performance. Summer class. The studio did not take photos or videos of the performance and I find that disappointing. Paid $700 for one week 6hr class and $350 for one week 4hr class. Wont be coming back for the summer classes.”

“My 9 year old daughter has been taking Musical Theater and Hip Hop for 2 years. She loves her teachers and is having a blast. I have loved watching her develop new skills beyond dancing. She has come out of her shell with some new found stage presence- memorizing lines, projecting her voice, and learning to work together as a team. Her mentors have built up her self confidence and made this experience fun for her. We”

“My daughter has been attending since she was 4 in a mommy and me class. The teachers have been fantastic, not only instilling love for the arts but also discipline and emotional support as she has progressed tremendously and even faced injuries. I also love the focus on performances over competitions. I would highly recommend Ms. Miah, this academy and the affiliated Scripps Ballet Company.”

“My daughter attended the musical theater summer camp for the first time this year and absolutely loved it. She came home every day telling us how much fun she was having. They only had four days to prepare and everyone did so great knowing their lines and positions. I was very impressed!
