Customer Review
This dance studio is my second home, and I would give it 10 stars if I could. Shawl-Anderson has a unique combination of excellent teachers in every style, a completely non-competitive vibe, a supportive community, and a commitment to the credo that Everyone Can Dance. Although it was founded with a focus on modern dance, there are offerings in many dance genres for all ages (you are never too old!) at all skill levels from absolute beginner to professional. All body shapes are welcome. The emphasis is not on looking a certain way but on learning and growing as a mover. I have made so many friends there, as well as getting to explore dance under the guidance of many incredible teachers. SADC does what every dance studio should aspire to do: bring together and support a community of artists, audiences, and students at every stage.

Customer Review
I had the pleasure of taking classes from this gifted teacher and deeply wonderful human being, Nives Wetzel de Cedial, almost two decades ago, at another dance studio. Coming back to Berkeley like a homing pigeon, I had the pleasure last night of being part of Nives’ Brazilian dance class at the Beat. She greeted me with astonishment and welcoming hugs that warmed my heart—and then, once class started, I was there again in body and soul, in that immersive world of Brazilian dance, embraced by the goddess.

My 2 year old daughter loves coming here and looks forward to it every week. We especially love Teacher Allie, who really understands toddler attention spans and keeps the class moving at a fast clip. She also understands that toddlers don't always follow directions and doesn't intervene if they're a little off course. I also love that if the kids seem a little disengaged, Allie will change activities more quickly or pull out the bubbles or little balls to kick, to up the interest level.
