Build Confidence Through Dance San Diego’s Leading Dance Studio for All Ages & Experience Levels

My daughter joined the Wish camp last summer, and she had a grand time. The performance was really cute and I was pretty impressed how quickly they were able to create a little show in a short amount of time. I think the teachers are very effective at teaching young kids. We definitely would come back for more.

My 6-year old had an amazing camp experience at SPAA! The content was age appropriate, the program was organized, and the performance at the end of the camp was just adorable!

SRPAA has been the best intro into the dance world for my 3 yr old daughter. She has been raving about the camps since her second day. Three weeks of camps later, she’s doing ad hoc performances for anyone who will give her the opportunity!! She’s pretty discerning and doesn’t open up quickly to new people, but she definitely found her people here. I have since convinced a few friends to send their kids and have only heard great things from them as well. I’m signing up my 5 yr old son for hip hop classes and pre ballet for my daughter for fall and can’t wait to see their confidence continue grow on and off the stage!!

My daughter had a very enjoyable experience at camp.

My daughters have been at SPAA since they were quite young. Their dance program is fantastic, and provides an excellent focus on technique. Not a competition studio, which some may not prefer (I am thankful!), but there are performance opportunities. The dancers take a very well-rounded variety of classes vs a pure focus on ballet. The upper devision is a huge commitment time wise, but SPAA is like a second home for these kids at that point. Or maybe a first home! Theatre classes when my kids were younger were AMAZING as well. And summer camps were always a blast.

My daughter loves her pre-ballet class and her summer camp “Frozen”. Ms Mellisa is her favorite teacher. She’s always happy to go to the class and enjoying so much. Thanks so much for all the teachers at Scripps Performing Art.

My daughter enjoyed this summer musical camp! She loved the staff and the musical Matilda! Thank you!

My son really enjoyed the Willy Wonka Summer Camp at the Scripps Performing Arts Academy Scripps Ranch! He does not usually like camps, this is the first one he has ever liked. He enjoyed the activities, crafts, singing, and the performance they did. It was great, after only 4 days they put on a performance that was really cute. The teachers and staff were so positive, friendly, and welcoming. Even though this was my son't first real performing arts experience he felt comfortable there, he also made new friends. My son and I give The Scripps Performing Arts Academy Scripps Ranch 5 stars!

Scripps Performing Arts Academy is truly amazing! My daughter started with them at age 3.5 in their summer camps and is now 8 years old. She has taken part in ballet, hip hop and musical theater classes while attending SPAA. I have personally seen her grow from a toddler who cried when I dropped her off to a confident young lady who performs onstage for the annual nutcracker. The teachers are kind and gentle. They truly care about the children. The director has a vision that transcends ballet—teaching life skills, passion and love. I highly recommend SPAA. My daughter loves this school.

My daughter has been at this studio for 7 years and attends class at both locations. We could not be more please with the entire experience and teachers at SPAA!

Our daughter Taylor attended Wish camp for a week and loved it! The performance at the end of the week was so sweet.

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! This is definitely something my daughter is passionate about so I am so glad there is an opportunity for her to continue lessons during the school year.

My daughter enjoyed this summer musical camp! She loved the staff and the musical Matilda! Thank you!

We love SPAA! The staff is excellent and the ballet program is extremely positive and so well done! We've been a part of Scripps since my daughter was 2yrs old and she'll be 15 soon!

We are here to vouch for Miss Melissa’s skill in teaching Ballet II. Lilah had Miss Melissa as her teacher and loved her. I was also impressed with her teaching skills and her ability to keep up the pace. The students enjoy her class very much!! She also focuses on her students individually. She is very much aware of their individual progress!

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 love SPAA! Oh, we went to the annual Nutcracker Performance and were blown away by the talent! Highly recommend!
