The Dance School LA began in January 2021 as an online studio and opened as a physical space in June 2021. The school was founded by Carissa Songhorian, who also serves as Director Carissa. Teachers at The Dance School LA have a general understanding of the human body and how it works and integrate safe practices into training programs based on this understanding. The stated goal of the program is to foster a fun and nurturing environment where students can develop as dancers, artists, and individuals, with an emphasis on growth, relationships, optimism, creativity, thoughtfulness, diversity, and the health of the dancer’s mind and body. The Dance School LA has a non-discrimination policy that does not discriminate against any color, race, gender, nationality, ethnicity, disability, or sexual orientation and will admit any individual interested in dance and/or fitness education who respects these values. Students have the opportunity, right, and privilege to be part of programs, events, and performances.
The Dance School LA is dedicated to bringing dance to the cities of Chatsworth, Northridge, Porter Ranch, Los Angeles, California and abroad. It is described as a haven where dreams take flight and bonds are formed, and as a community where individuals come together to learn, grow, and support each other through the art of movement. One parent describes the staff and instructors as kind, patient, and great with kids, and notes that their 5-year-old loves her ballet class and practices at home. Another parent shares that the studio is becoming a second home for their family and that Director Carissa has created a culture of self-respect, confidence, and community, and also mentions taking the adult classes. A third parent states that their daughter thrives in Ms. Carissa’s class, describes the balance between playfulness and structure in the ballet classes, and appreciates the variety of classes offered to younger age groups.
