From the reviews

Great Studio. Friendly atmosphere. Beautiful floor. Ballroom Drills classes with Alisa are wonderful.

★★★★★ — Suzanne, Oct 2024

Dance Around The Clock Monrovia is akin to attending "The Juilliard for Everyone" because of the many first -class professional dance teachers -- both men and ladies who teach a variety of dances: nightclub, American Rhythm, Latin, American Smooth, and International Standard.

★★★★★ — R, May 2026

I have been to many dance studios to practice and train, and Dance Around the Clock has become my favorite studio. It's one of the few that are not located in an Industrial/Mixed Use establishment with large ballroom space to train.

★★★★★ — Kamran, May 2026

快來跳舞!DATC is the perfect place for people of all backgrounds and ages to enjoy dancing as a hobby or to hone their competitive skills. I have so much fun here you can often find me dancing solo to the Waltz or Tango music on the beautiful floor here.

Your first ballet class at Dance Around The Clock

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
