From the reviews
I think this review is long overdue, considering how Ignite Studio has changed my life for the better. I have been taking classes at Ignite Studio since 2022. I started with Zumba classes because I wanted to improve my fitness.
Moving to a new city is difficult, but finding a new Zumba instructor you love, feels extra daunting. The atmosphere at Ignite was fun, not pretentious. Kimberly started the class with a message of not judging yourself, not feeling shameful about taking breaks, and, most importantly to have fun.
I highly recommend this dance studio. I moved up to Santa Clarita about 8 years ago and have struggled to find my people and then I found this dance studio. Kimberly has done an amazing job with building connections, getting a variety of classes on the schedule, expert dance teachers and a fun, inclusive studio.
Kimberly is awesome!! My wife and I took dance lessons with her for our first dance at our wedding. We had never taken dance lessons together before, but she made us feel so comfortable. She always reminded us that our dance didn't need to be perfect, we just needed to have fun.
Adult ballet at Ignite Studio
Ignite Studio runs classes for grown-ups, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never taken ballet, or you're coming back to it after years away, this is for you — and a good studio genuinely welcomes a nervous first-timer. A few things worth asking before you go. First, which class to start in — look for one labeled "absolute beginner" or "adult beginner" rather than an open or "all levels" class, so you learn the fundamentals at the right pace. Second, drop-in or term — many adult programs let you pay per class to try it, then move to a term or monthly package once you're hooked. Third, what to wear — comfortable clothes you can move in, plus socks or bare feet, are plenty for a first class; you won't need a leotard or ballet shoes to walk in the door. It's never too late for first position.
Your first ballet class at Ignite Studio
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.
