Veksler Academy Of Music & Dance – Sunnyvale

Miss Mariana has been a very good teacher and has been a favorite with kids she is highly professional but the management is such a let down. The management communications are very pathetic and are only behind money registrations/​dance show ticket sales/​costume sales etc worst they pack the dance classes with lot more kids and it is very tough on dance teachers. The attitude of the lady in reception is pathetic needs to learn manners esp when you conduct such a business US !

The management sucks big time!
They are always an annoyance. they need to really get better on that part. Its very frustrating having to deal with them every now and then. Ms. Marianna is a great teacher.

I have only good words for the Vekslar Academy. My daughter started there with the Angelina Ballerina ballet class. She really enjoyed them as a 3 year old. Since the age of 4 she’s been learning piano. She’s had wonderful teachers. She was a little intimidated with the piano when she started but her teachers teaching style made her very comfortable. Teachers there are great with young kids. We recently had to shift to a new teacher since timings were not working out. She’s very professional and encouraging. The staff is very understanding and try their best to make adjustments. As a bonus, they arrange for great recitals!

I’ve been taking my two kids (boy 14, girl 11) to Veksler Academy for the last 6 years for piano lessons and for dance lessons. The teachers are professionals and adapt their teaching to the age and personality of each child. The academy also provides great recital opportunities twice a year, which helps the kids build their performance skills and gives the kids a great sense of accomplishment and confidence in their art. I’m happy to say I’m enrolling my third child (boy 6) into this academy. I highly recommend Veksler academy!

Sorry — can not recommend this at all. Very unprofessional approach especially the lady in the front desk — always on the phone and appears extremely rude.

I don’t recommend this place for piano lessons. My son had lessons years ago and my review for this place is long overdue. The teacher, Mary, was the worse piano teacher I have ever encountered. She was disrespectful as a teacher and did not even try to connect with my son. I was glad she would miss classes so we had a makeup teacher. The makeup teacher wasn’t good, but at least not worse.
I respect all businesses that promote the arts. However, our experience here was not good. I am happy to say that we never quit after this bad experience. Instead, it encouraged us to find a better teacher.

I have been very impressed with the school’s response to our earlier concerns. They have been bending over backwards to ensure that we actually receive all the lessons we are paying for — we are getting plenty of warning when there will be a schedule conflict, with flexible options for reschedules. Again, the teachers are fantastic (we love Miss Hazel for viola), the recitals are terrific, and based on the response we’ve seen I believe the leadership really cares… so we are sticking with Veksler!

First of all, when you register, they make you buy their «Angelina ballerina tutu and head band» saying only wearing this can you go to their class. That outfit ended staying at home for the whole semester. No one else wore it in class either. The kids were just 3 – 4 years old, they wear what they want to and no one cared. So why, why force every customer purchase what they don’t need?
Second, there is only one class in June after Mays recital. And they charge you full price! Their explanation: they charge flat rate because some months there are five weeks. So what? Some months there are only three class weeks because of holidays! 75 dollars for one class and they charge you in the last day of May to make sure you can’t escape!
Third, in terms of dance quality. As a dancer myself who’s been dancing for many many years, the choreographies on the recital were ok, the dancers were super adorable, the techniques were awful. I’m not talking about the little ones, I’m talking about the older ones, even the teens. The so called «VIP» dancers can’t even keep their legs straight and pointed.
To sum up, completely disappointed at their teaching quality and upset about the way they squeeze every quarter out of your pocket! Just a Russian name, nothing Russian technique wise! Don’t go!

We really like Veksler Dance Studio in Sunnyvale. All our kids go there! Teachers are wonderful and staff is very helpful! Their Spring Recital was Amazing! Highly recommend this place for ballet, tap, piano.

it is horrible place to learn piano. Whole year only three songs and very good smart kid can not past CM Test. In this place piano teacher very lazy. She made very good kids cry and do not try the best to teach kids. they keep blame kids did not put enough to work on teacher’s assignment. Not organize at all. They made kid missing class and never arrange make up. very bad experience with staff in this office. She lost her temper with parents. The ballet dance teacher is very good. She works hard. She has very good heart. She tries her best to teach kids.

I am a mom of a 5yr old girl (Geothshana).My daughter has great passion towards singing and dancing. When I approached them for hip hop lessons we got the best teacher I have ever seen Miss.Krista.She is so amazing and had a great way with the kids. And my child had learnt enough to perform so well at her recital. Another commendable job was when Miss. Marina Bondar discovered Geo’s talent to sing and decided to teach her when she understood my child’s passion towards singing. It has been a great journey from day one with Miss. Marina till date and i am proud to say that my daughter performed on stage for 2 recitals and they were solo songs.Miss.Marina’s timely instructions and the voice techniques provided in a way a little brain could understand is really commendable and my whole family is grateful towards her.
Above all Miss. Anna is the most friendliest admin I have met so far.
In total, I feel Veksler Academy has the best teachers from the MArket who are so talented and passionate towards teaching kids. I am blessed to have found them at the right time.

My children started attending piano lessons at the Veksler Academy at
ages 3 ½ and nearly 6 with Miss Betsy and and Mr. Edward respectively.
Both teachers have worked with each child’s needs and encouraged growth
and exploration. We’ve been with them for nearly four years now and
we are quite happy with the kids progress. I am jealous of their fluency
with the keys.
The 2 music recitals every year are a big deal for the kids that they
look forward to. The Winter recital was just this past weekend. Mr. Veksler
and his team put a huge effort in as they always do to help the kids
succeed and a feel great about their accomplishment.
My daughter joined Miss Laura’s ballet class 2 years ago and has enjoyed
it as well. She is always excited about the year-​end performances on stage
as well as the Winter show she puts together in the studio.
We all enjoy watching the pictures and DVDs from each performance.

The school provides a good after school program. Very convenient to have music and dance lessons in one location, especially if you can work your schedule and have kids lessons back-​to-​back. Good location and nice teachers.
Keep up doing a great job, and remember, it’s always the space for improvement!

We did not enjoy our experience at Veksler where we enrolled our child for piano lessons. The teacher was not interested and at times even lost her temper with a 5 year old.
The staff is not friendly and missing a class means you won’t get a make up session.

My twin daughters have been attending Veksler Academy for almost 3 years. They are taking piano lessons and I am very happy with the lessons and their instructor, Mr. Joel Tepper. Better yet, my girls enjoy taking piano lessons. They look forward to going to their lessons and performing in the recitals Veksler Academy has twice a year.
If you are looking for somewhere to take music or dance lessons this is the place to go.

You can take multiple kids in to take dance and music classes as the same time. Or, sign up for dance class right before/​after the music class.
