About us
Welcome to Let’s Dance CA, where we specialize in after-school enrichment programs that address the challenges faced by today’s children, including lack of emotional and social learning, disconnection from phones & tablets, and insufficient exercise and self-expression opportunities. Our unique approach utilizes the art forms of Dance, Yoga, Meditation, and Theater to provide an alternative solution.
Through our programs, children engage in activities that foster emotional intelligence, social skills, and physical movement, helping them develop confidence, mindfulness, and leadership abilities. By stepping away from screens and immersing themselves in creative expression, they learn to regulate their emotions, increase their social and emotional learning, and excel academically. Join Let’s Dance CA and empower your child to thrive in mind, and body.
At Let’s Dance CA, our dance program offers more than just moves—it’s about nurturing your child’s social and emotional well-being. From the rhythms of Social Latin Dances to the elegance of Ballroom and the energy of Hip Hop, they’ll develop confidence, connection, and self-expression on the dance floor. Join us and watch them thrive.

What a pleasure it was to work with Jose! He lead the salsa and bachata portion of my company, Season Of, mental wellness event series. We were aiming to use dance as the vessel to create community & a form of mental health release. Jose is the best choice in all of LA.

Anytime I need a boost of energy or get my body moving especially after being stagnant, I attend one of Jose's classes because I know afterwards I will feel physically & mentally better than when I arrived. His classes help me to be fully present in the moment & forget about any worries or difficulties I may have had that day.

Had the pleasure of bringing Jose into my inter circle to coach and lead us in social partner dancing. Everyone had a great time learning a new outlet that brings everyone together. I would definitely recommend Jose’s creative and personal yet professional talents to those looking for a creative outlet.
