"My daughter and I both take dance classes at West Coast Dance FX.  Dance has positively affected my daughter in many aspects.  Being in dance class and performing on stage has increased her self-confidence, given her courage and strength, taught her about self-respect and respect for others, and has brought her joy by simply having fun and making new friendships.  I have returned to dance after many years, and it is definitely the highlight of my week.  It makes me happy.  Dancing is physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially satisfying...it is engaging in life to the fullest!

I love EVERYTHING about West Coast Dance FX!  West Coast Dance FX offers phenomenal dance instruction by the most qualified teaching staff around.  The studio facilities provide a great atmosphere with it's old New York studio design, the instructors exhibit the perfect balance between fun and discipline with the kids, and the studio has a perfect location in the heart of downtown Hollister. 

I highly recommend West Coast Dance FX to anyone who is searching for a rewarding dance experience.  You will not find a more dedicated studio director or qualified staff who teach life lessons while having fun and opening eyes to the wonderful world of dance."  K. Champion




"Dance has given Kendall self confidence, structure, and the ability to work together on a team with other dancers.  The most important thing is that she is having fun expressing herself with something she loves, dance. 
Taryn wants everyday to be a dance class day, and dances at home any chance she can.  I feel fortunate that Miss Jessica and West Coast Music & Dance FX have given our girls such a positive experience in helping to form their lives."  Dana Mills



“West Coast Dance FX is a well-run business with a family atmosphere.  Our studio provides a safe and charming environment for my daughter and our dance family to learn.  Our studio owner, Jessica Smiley, is a wonderful mentor and role model for our daughters.  My daughter has been dancing under Jessica’s instruction for 3+ years and has greatly benefited from Jessica’s work ethic, expertise, and passion for dance.  Jessica’s good judgment in business and in life consistently provides our dance family with opportunities to grow and learn as dancers and as individuals.   Jessica teaches our daughters to strive for success as dancers while preserving the virtue that respect of one’s body, peers, instructors and parents is truly the best approach to achieve success.  Thanks to Jessica’s influence, my daughter is determined to do well in school and has blossomed into a beautiful dancer.  Also, thanks to Jessica, our dance teams can now compete with pride against the big city studios because our competition numbers are creative, fun and very competitive.  We are very fortunate to have someone of Jessica Smiley’s caliber teaching our daughters in Hollister.”  S. Quintana

 

“My daughter loves to have something to do aside from school, she's met a lot of nice girls, and looks forward to having fun.  The teachers are professional, loving, and fun.  The studio is the perfect place to dance!  Yes, I always feel my daughter is in good hands when i drop her off at dance.  She loves going to classes, events, and recital, and is proud to be a student at West Coast Dance FX.  The communication between instructors and parents is phenomenal!  I can call, email, or visit in person and will always get prompt, detailed information.  The ease of electronic payments helps with my busy lifestyle and so is access to all information online!  And, everyone is ALWAYS so nice!!” J.

“Because of dance, my daughter has great self confidence, grace, and is not afraid to express herself.  Dance has helped her in her studies to be disciplined and it has also benefited her in the theatre arts (drama).  West Coast Dance FX is a safe place for my daughter.  It is run professionally and we, the parents are always kept informed about upcoming events.  There's no other dance studio like it.”  J Bernosky


 

My daughter Brianna has been going to West Coast Music & Dance FX for 3 years.    I I chose this studio over the others because it came highly recommended - I stay with this studio because of the professional, talented and dedicated staff.  Their passion and love for their art shows in everything they do, and it teaches my daughter what can be achieved through hard work and perseverance.   The studio made it very convenient to enroll her in two dances classes and a piano class while providing her with a healthy and safe place to interact with other children her age who share the same interests.  I definitely recommend West Coast Music & Dance FX because of their strong commitment to the children and the advancement of their chosen art.  Janet & Brianna Melin

 

“I started dance when I was 2.5 years old.  I was kind of shy and I didn’t talk when I started.  The teachers helped me not to be shy and they are fun to dance with.  They taught me how to move a lot and to dance a lot.”  Shantel Davis, age 6

 

“ The main lesson we have learned from West Coast Music & Dance FX is the importance of always striving to do your best.  Even as an adult it is never too late to learn something new and feel good about yourself.  We think new students should take lessons here if they are truly interested in sharpening their dancing and music skills, while improving their overall health and fitness, all while having a great time!”  Jill Morales & Jenna Brigantino

“Every time we come here to dance we know it’s going to be fun.  Whether it’s ballet or hip hop, we’re always doing something new and different.   This studio provides the best classes with the best teachers.  New students always feel welcome and never out of place.”  Desiree & Christina Troia, ages 15 & 17
