Best Dance Academy around! You can always tell when they hit the stage because they truly stand out above other places. They invest so much into their students to promote growth in every way possible. It is such a positive and encouraging yet challenging (in all the right ways) environment! I absolutely love this place!

We had our daughter's 7th birthday party at Groove Nation and they were absolute pros. Hands down among the best places for her birthday. They're super friendly, knowledgeable, and kind. Loved our time there.

Excellent tap class with step by step ( pardon pun) techniques that we start out slow and gradually get faster as we learn the process.

Went to Groove Nation today with my 3 yr old godson for hip hop class. We were greeted with smiles at the front desk, some snacks were available for my son while we waited for our class to start. Very large space with multiple dance venues and rooms to practice. You can tell this is a place that is geared towards kids, teens, and adults with a variety of opportunities from beginner to advanced. I had the chance to talk with a couple of the other parents who were a all really encouraging and friendly as our godson was a little shy for his first time. They said their kiddos were the same way when they first started but as they kept coming we're more outgoing. I really like what Groove Nation is doing and we will be back!

I have read recent reviews about Groove Nation and am shocked and surprised that those posting about 'issues' didn't immediately address it with staff (always present). Beau and Rose (the owners) would have handled any such complaints promptly, with poise and compassion and definitely held accountable anyone who was less than professional, empathetic and loving toward ANY student. With that, here is my personal review.Our daughter danced at Groove Nation for over 10 years, most of that as part of the competitive dance company. Everyone was welcoming, loving, inclusive, uplifting and genuine in their desire to make every dancer feel like part of the "family". My wife and I have always been very careful about coaches/teammates/teachers/mentors who interacted with our daughter, to ensure she had people supporting our morals and values. We certainly would not have allowed her to be part of a team or studio where our own moral compass was not enhanced. From the beginning to the end (she graduated and went on to college), Groove Nation staff, coaches, teachers, parents and most of all, owners Beau and Rose lifted our daughter, not only with dance but with her personal growth, self worth and confidence. They expect that with EVERY student who walks in their door; anything less is not part of what Groove Nation stands for and they will not tolerate it.There are several dance studios around the area and maybe Groove Nation is not for everyone. However, if you want your child to grow as a person and not just a dancer, to flourish in confidence, to be held up and not held back, to be accepted for themselves and included in a 'family' atmosphere built on a moral compass that always points north, then Groove is the place for you. It always was and always will be, the place for us and our daughter.

Google keeps asking me to review this place so I will. My wife’s younger siblings had bad experiences toward the end of their time at groove. It really sucks that things didn’t end well because we loved watching the performances. But after certain things were said and done, I definitely can’t give a good review.

Huge bullying culture. I brought a foster girl here from work for her first dance class ever and one of the teachers was making fun of the girl I brought. She was in the bathroom laughing so tu other girls about how the girl I brought was dancing and called her gross and dirty and spoke about how she smelled. I simply washed my hands and left with my client. Little did she know we had removed this child from a household where she endured severe trauma a few weeks back. Where’s the compassion and understanding? It doesn’t matter how old you are, if you’re a teacher at this dance studio, be professional. The teacher who was being very disrespectful has long dark straight hair, hope that helps. Mental health matter. Being kind matter. Do better.

They have large studios and several different dance classes. Very high quality music and dance classes for kids. My youngest is 2. She is out of control and movement’s so crazy but teacher is kind and patient. She loves this toddler class.Highly recommended for your kids. Restrooms are clean receptionists are so kind and welcoming. Everything is organized and neat. I like here. ?

In my opinion, Groove Nation is Vancouver USA's premier dance instruction and performance center for youth.

This studio cares more about making money than anything else. Setting up for events is part of the students training also parents are required to volunteer many hours per year and if they don't the studio will charge them on top of all the fees. Not a good place kids or teenagers.

We really wanted to bring our daughter here. Today was her first class. In the middle of a pandemic, and when we are seeing the highest spikes in infections, this establishment is making it optional for adults and children to wear their masks. Inside the building, staff at the front desk were maskless, parents were sitting right next to one another without a mask, and children were given the option to wear a mask around one another in a small studio. Doesn't seem very responsible or safe for anyone. Disappointing! So bummed.
