About
Soo Dance Academy
Soo Dance Academy has two locations 10 mins away from each other. Both studios offer dance classes and you are able to attend either location. We offer classes for children ages 2.5 through professional. We teach ballet, jazz, hip-hop, Kpop, tap, tumbling, contemporary, and character. We offer a Soo Dance Competition team and have become one of the elites in the Bay Area. Soo Dance Company puts on 2 performances per year: the Spring and Winter Show. Summer classes are available and are extremely flexible.
Pre Ballet to Level 1 / Princess Ballerina Program: Fun lessons that help develop rhythm (musicality), coordination, attention, strength, flexibility, agility, and posture. They will learn how to dance and count to the music using their feet and ballet steps. Students will learn the ‘turnout’ position, small to medium jumps, and work with both hands on the barre. This class also helps develop the habits of learning and repeating movements with increasing complexity. We offer ballet, tap, jazz, and hip-hop classes.
Our Staff
Soo - Artistic Director
Soo started her formal training at the renowned private institute, SUNHWA Art School in Korea, which is known for accepting high achieving students that pass a rigorous entrance exam. Soo was taught and trained intensively on the principles of the Russian Vaganova methodology.
As a young dancer, Soo was selected by the Universal Ballet Company for the role of ‘Clara’ in The Nutcracker and traveled with the company to perform around Korea. Upon arriving in the U.S. in 2002, Soo entered the University of California, Berkeley, and received her B.A. in Environmental Economics and Dance. Soo’s post-university experience included performing at the SF Ethnic Dance Festival and teaching Korean dance at Claire Lilienthal School in SF.

My child attended 1 quarter of Soo Dance (From Sept to Dec) with high hopes for dance passion, but unfortunately, the experience fell far short of expectations. Not only did they overcharge parents, but the level of service provided was disappointingly poor.
Firstly, the fees charged were exorbitant, far beyond what could be justified by the quality of dance instruction. It felt like a blatant money grab, with little regard for the financial strain it put on families. They do not disclose the extra (rehearsal, Video, photos) fees upfront And right before the stage performance, they asked for mandatory $100 for the 2 extra practice classes.
You have to pay $84 for the funky costume which your child will never use again.
They charged around $80 for the photographs and video of the performance. The photos and videos are taken from distance where you cannot even view your child dancing. Then they charge close to $40 for the ticket to watch the performance!!! Overall, they extract more than $1000 for 12 classes
Even more disappointing was the lack of availability of the teacher. The assigned instructor was hardly available throughout the 12 week session. There was always a substitute who didn't know the choreography. She would make the kids dance on random songs which were not even part of their final performance.
The final outcome was only 1 partial song, poorly choregraphed!!
To make matters worse, the attitude of the staff towards brown people was downright appalling. This created a toxic atmosphere that was not conducive to learning or personal development.
In addition to the overt racism, the general demeanor of the staff was rude and dismissive. Any concerns or complaints brought to their attention were met with hostility and defensiveness, making it clear that they had little interest in addressing issues or improving the quality of their service.
Overall, my experience with Soo Dance school was incredibly disappointing and disheartening. I would strongly advise against enrolling your child in this establishment unless you're prepared to endure overcharging, unreliable scheduling, and the distress of encountering racism and rudeness.
