Reviews Of Scripps Performing Arts Academy Carmel Valley

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!

My daughters have been attending the SPAA Carmel Valley studio since they were 3 and it has been a delightful experience for the whole family. They are happy to go and always look forward to their classes. I highly recommend SPAA for children who are interested in learning ballet, other dances and musical theater. The studio has a great atmosphere, with friendly and experienced teachers and staff, who are passionate about teaching and also making a difference in your children's life. I have seen my daughter flourish into a confident ballerina over the past 4 years. The studio offers a variety of classes for all ages and skill levels. The classes are well-organized and the teachers are loving, patient and encouraging. When the pandemic hit, the SPAA team quickly pivoted to a virtual format while preparing the outdoor studio. They were flexible and continued to support each student and family during these tough times. The SPAA team is also very creative, we absolutely love the performances they offer each year, the quality, the passion and the effort that go behind are outstanding! Each year, we look forward to our children performing in the Nutcracker, not only they teach them great ballet techniques, but also great skills for life. I would definitely recommend SPAA to anyone who is looking for a great place for their child to learn ballet!

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!
