Review №1

My daughter is 4 years old and has been attending Ollin Yoliztli dance academy for 7 months now and it has been a wonderful experience for her. She was born with erbs palsy in her right arm and has restricted mobility in her arm. Attending ollin Yoliztli dance academy has helped her with several things which would be learning her culture, social skills and learning how far her mobility is in her arm. Most of all she has gained so much confidence in herself that she is so excited to attend her classes and most of all always thrilled to perform on stage. The teachers are so professional and attentive to the childrens needs, they also have good communication with parents. All teachers and team do make everyone feel like family. I do highly recommend ollin Yoliztli dance academy. I want to thank all teachers and team for all your hard work and dedication to our children that want to follow in the path of the arts.

Instructors and Directors care deeply about their students in this academy. We are like a family here. My favorite thing about working here is seeing how everyone grows, not just as a dancer, but as a leader. This is more than just a dance studio, this is a support team, where instructors support students and students support each other. This is a Family oriented studio that has so much to offer. We are a team of people who genuinely care about the success of each student.

Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy is the most professional and authentic Ballet Folklorico school in Phoenix! My family has happily been with the academy for nearly 3 years. Not only will you learn to dance many traditional Mexican dances from all over Mexico, but you will learn them from a highly educated and trained instructor. You will learn Mexican culture, the geography of Mexico, self-discipline, balance, coordination, and self-confidence, all while being part of a truly family-oriented environment. Don’t wait! Enroll today! Your first class is always free! There are many classes offered throughout the week for all ages and levels!

Amazing non-profit organization! I am absolutely pleased with the way my daughter has evolved from a shy quiet 5 year old to an outgoing little do-it-all that just wants to do more and more. Teachers are professional and courteous and everyone here is like family. I will keep my daughter here as long as she loves it. Thank you Teacher Ana and Rebeca, Annalynne thanks you as well

If you are looking for a traditional folklore dance school, come check out this awesome group! One of the few groups in Arizona that still teach Mexican folklore dance at its purest form.Many other groups are great, but they add steps or costumes which are not part of Mexican folklore . Ana is a Director with 40 years of experience and has the largest repertoire of Mexican folklore dances in Arizona.

This school unfortunately did not work out for us, and it wasn’t for lack of trying and a lot of patience. I blame myself for letting a lot of things go, and giving them the benefit of the doubt for too long as my daughter enjoyed her friends and the classes. I also want to say that there are a lot of great people at this school, and my problems really begin and end with the people at the top. I should have followed my instincts and left, when the director asked me to have my 5 year old daughter dance without her glasses, as they “throw off the aesthetics of the performance”. Of course I refused this, she has extremely poor vision and it’s a safety issue. I was threatened she would be “stuck in the back”. I refused and they had the good sense never to bring it up again. As time went on performances struggled. Punctuality by the people in charge was a huge issue, and there was always disorganization and unknown as far and timing, parking and general details. In the end, I had some ethics questions. I voiced my concerns and was immediately silenced as much as possible. I’m paid through the 15th of this month, and have already been completely blocked from the parents page on Facebook. I can also attest to the fact the they were offering free t-shirts for reviews. It’s clear that the majority of them were all written around the same timeframe.

Expensive, rude, they treat you like they’re making you a favor, the “ director” said she worked at Bellas Artes but may be as a valet parking because a 5 year old has more creativity than her and don’t even think of expresing your opinion on something because they’ll censor you at all cost and all those good reviews on Facebook? Well, while my daughter was attending the school, Valentino promise a shirt to everybody who would post a review; of course it had to be a good one because they were promising a free shirt right?? My advise to you, look for another school.

I was a dancer for 5 years when i was younger. My daughter wanted to dance i looked every where and went several places until i found Ollin Yolitzli Dance Academy about 4 years ago. And i do not regret it its been the best decision i have ever made becasuse my daughter was very shy and now she is not. I have seen so much growth in her they have made her feel loved and valued they are like family to us. If you want to see your children grow and learn the tradicional mexican folklore with the best teachers Ana Bonilla and Rebeka Moreno i highly recommend Ollin Yolitzli

Excellent teachers, authentic Mexican folklore, The price is fair for what they are taught and the whole trajectory of the director, The place very clean, The teachers educated and friendly, The best place to teach a child Mexican traditions and culture, I can not cover the monthly payments but if my son could not lose a single class, super recommended Ollin Yoliztli.

Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy is a bilingual academy with highly qualified instructors. It is a therapy for my daughter since she trains her memory with the repetition of patterns my daughter has improved significantly in school, she has short memory problems. It is an extracurricular activity that gives our children safety and discipline.I love Ollin Yoliztli Dance Academy.
