Does anyone have experience with Luna Dance Institute? I'm looking at it
for summer camp for my 8 year old girls, but can find no reviews.
Thanks for any insight!

My daughter has attended Luna Kids Dance in the past and has enjoyed it.
They do a good job teaching modern dance concepts, including
choreography; and they are very supportive of their students and
pleasant with the families. I imagine your child would have fun.

Re: Dance classes for 7-year-old BOY (Feb 2005)
You should check out Luna Kids Dance (www.lunakidsdance.com),
which has classes in Berkeley, Montclair, and Oakland as well as
SF and Marin. They also do a lot of work in the schools training
teachers to incorporate dance and movement. Their philosophy is
very much about kids learning to express themselves using their
bodies, rather than learning a ''right'' way to do this or that.
The class my daughter took was more girls than boys, but not
overwhelmingly so.

Re: Informal dance/movement class for 3-year-old (March 2004)
My preschool aged daughter took classes with Luna Kids Dance,
which offers creative movement and dance for young children. It
sounds like what you might be looking for. They do not teach
specific dance movements, but encourage the children to create
their own movements and rhythms. They offer classes in many
parts of the Bay Area, including Berkeley & Oakland.

Re: Non-formal dance class for child (March 2002)
You should look into Luna Kids Dance (lunakidsdance.org).
They are a developmentally based creative
movement/dance program that I think is just what you are
looking for. Their classes are not as formal or structured as
ballet or tap classes for young kids, they encourage
creativity and I believe the teachers all have a background in
child development as well as dance. My daughters both
loved the classes when they were preschoolers. Best of all,
there are no recitals or performaces, the last class of each
session the parents are invited to come in and watch what
the kids have been doing.

Re: Non-formal dance class for child (March 2002)
My 3 year old lives for her dance classes at Luna Kids Dance--I
should have named her ''Isadora.'' This is creative movement based
in developmentally appropriate educational practices, and it's
great! Check out their site: http://www.lunakidsdance.com/
We go to the Mills College site on Saturday mornings, and the
teacher is Freesia. Because my daughter also wants to do ballet,
Freesia recommended Dancespace on Hudson St in Rockridge for Kids
for creative movement ballet classes, but we haven't gone there
yet (one class a week is enough for now!).
