Cant believe I havent reviewed my home away from home yet! My older daughters both dance here and we are grateful for all the amazing opportunities to grow and work, experience and play, connect and enjoy the journey of dance and fitness for the entire family.After almost 5 years, we are still amazed at the new and creative routines, the growing staff of energetic and friendly instructors and the dedicated leadership of the always kind, fabulous, and positive, Susan Janson.The Adult Ballet & Tap and the adult fitness (Zumba, Ballet Barre & Hot Hula) classes are great for all levels and the supportive instructors are tireless and fun!

Kick it up is the best.

Best dance and fitness studio ever. Classes for all levels and all ages including adults. Very warm and welcoming. It truly is my second home.

I love Kick It Up, I have met many great friends and learned so much about dance. All the teachers are nice and amazing. And everyone cares for each other, there is no studio I would rather be at.

Our daughter has a strong passion for dance. Since she was 2 years old she has taking classes at different studios. Many of them unorganized or with improvised teachers, definetly places where you cannot learn a discipline of a sport. Until we found KIU, a studio where you can immediately tell how much passion and time the owner has invested to.There you can find classes and dancers at different levels and styles, teachers who share the same passion with the majority of the students, and overall a nice and a familiar environment where everyone, parents and students support each other because we all truly feel that the success of any of our dancers raises the bar and make our kids to work harder and strive for the best.

Kick It Up is definitely one of Long Beachs hidden diamonds! The instructors are always enthusiastic and take a genuine interest in each of their students. My 11 year old daughter really enjoyed her classes and was able to leverage her theatre experience to perform in several school plays. The studios owner - Susan - is very knowledgeable and was extremely helpful in placing my daughter in a class that would build upon her natural talents. Thank you, Susan!!!!

Kick it Up is a great place to work out, practice dance moves and learn new dance styles. All ages are welcome to attend. They offer adult Zumba, tap, barre, hot hula, yoga and water Zumba. I personally started at the age of 4 with a ballet and tap combo class with Ms. Susan. Currently, I am an unlimited dance student who takes as many classes and styles that I can fit into my schedule. Classes such as tap, ballet, lyrical, hip hop, contemporary, jazz and hula, who could ask for more. The instructors are supportive and caring. The place is warm and welcoming, and we are all one big family. Kick it Up has Performance and Competitive Dance teams. The Performance teams have done shows at Knotts Berry Farm, USC, Disneyland and the Orange County Fair. The Comp teams compete at KAR, Spotlight and various dance competitions within the LA and OC County areas. What else could they possibly offer? Let me tell you about the musical theater side of Kick it Up that offers vocal, instrumental and theater classes. I highly recommend Kick it Up as the place to be if you like fun, a great work out, and lots of friends!

Unfortunately kick it up could NOT deliver quality experience or instruction for my daughter. We had to withdraw due to a habitual lack of communication, lack of accountability, and organization. We experienced blatant apathy and disregard for our questions and opinions. I hope they do better for anyone else that gives them a shot to teach their children.
