Sakura Dance Studio has been an incredible place for my daughter Yuki to grow. The instructors are amazing, not just technically skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging. The studio feels like a second family, a truly positive and supportive environment where young dancers can build confidence and passion. We are so grateful to be part of this community in Shibuya!(Parent of Yuki Tanaka, Kids Program)
I decided to try Hip-Hop in my 30s, and honestly, I was nervous. But Sakura Studio made it so much fun! The adult beginner class was welcoming, and the instructor broke down moves clearly. I never thought I could pick up choreography, but I am! It’s a fantastic workout and a great way to de-stress after work. I look forward to class every week!(Adult Hip-Hop Class Student)
The Contemporary class pushed my boundaries and helped me find new ways to express myself through movement that I never knew were possible. The focus on artistry alongside technique has been transformative. The instructors create a safe space to explore emotion and vulnerability. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to connect deeply with their dance.(Contemporary Class Student)
My son, Ren, loves the Kids Hip-Hop class! Before joining Sakura, he was a bit shy, but now he's dancing around the house all the time. The teachers are excellent at making learning fun and keeping the kids engaged. Seeing his confidence grow has been amazing. Thank you, Sakura Dance Studio!(Parent of Ren Yamaoka, Kids Program)
After retiring, I wanted to stay active and tried the adult Ballet class. It’s challenging but so rewarding. The technique is taught with such clarity and patience. I feel stronger and more graceful already. It’s a lovely group of people and a truly enriching experience right here in Shibuya.(Adult Ballet Class Student)
I joined the Jazz intermediate class to improve my versatility. The choreography is creative and pushes you technically. The atmosphere is encouraging, and dancing alongside talented peers motivates me. The studio space is also fantastic – clean and spacious. A top-notch studio!(Jazz Intermediate Student)
Attending workshops at Sakura has been a highlight of my dance training. They bring in amazing guest artists, and the content is always fresh and inspiring. It’s a fantastic way to learn new approaches and connect with other dancers passionate about their craft. Highly recommend their workshop series!(Workshop Participant)
