Academy of Palo Alto Performing Arts

I give a high rating for Apapa where my daughter learned dancing for several years. The talented and dedicated instructors, particularly in the area of Chinese dancing, have had a profound impact on her technique and confidence. The school's commitment to providing students with ample opportunities to showcase their talents through regular performances and contests has made it a truly unparalleled experience.

I've been learning Chinese ballet, Chinese classical dance & folk dance for over a decade, on and off. During these years, I have had experienced at least 4-5 different Chinese dance schools. Most of them didn't care much about adult dance lessons. Younger kids are their main focus and revenue source. While newly founded APAPA-USA offers pretty impressive kids & teen dance programs, they treat adult dance lessons as a serious business. The owners are extremely diligent & friendly. The curriculums are well designed for beginners, intermediate and more advanced students. All the instructors came from their own professional background as former world-class dance performers, directors & choreographers. They share the genuine passion and respect toward dance art that you can easily tell from the quality of teaching. Being with APAPA-USA for little over one year only, I literarily feel that my dance skills improved probably more than what I had achieved during past five years. I never expected becoming a more polished dancer at my mid-age. Can't say enough thanks to all my teachers who help me getting closer to my childhood dream. You are my angels.
