From the reviews

Both of my daughters are in Ms Shiyo’s dance classes. They absolutely love her! She is everything you would hope for in a dance teacher, professional, elegant, and incredibly nurturing. Her teaching style is graceful yet structured, and she knows exactly how to bring out the best in each child.

★★★★★ — Le, Nov 2025

ms. Rebecca is wonderful because she is helpful and nice and funny and she's a really great teacher.

★★★★☆ — T, Jan 2024

I have been taking adult ballet classes with Elise for a few months and have absolutely loved her classes! She tailors them so well to all of the dancers, who are coming in with various levels of experience.

★★★★★ — Sabrina, Jan 2024

Ms Shiyo is the best. She is so talented, fun, self-disciplined, patient, polite. She is a role model. She makes dozens of choreograph pieces all within the same season across age groups from 4 to 17 (unbelievable). She organizes fun events and bonding for the students. She gives warm hugs and also teaches very well.

Your first ballet class at West Valley Dance Company - Mt.View

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.
