Proud supporter of Dancers Against Cancer Foundation
Our 2024 studio banquet brings our annual 50/50 raffle. This year, we gave over $2000 to DAC!
Gotta Dance Academy proudly supports neighboring dance studio and fellow dance family, Simi Dance Center, as owner Ryan Lohoff is battling cancer. We are truly united in dance, and support both Ryan and Brigid in every step of their journey!

Anasheh Abramiyan
Anasheh Abramiyan grew up dancing in Los Angeles, California at the age of four. She learned and excelled in dance while attending studios, including her home studio, Helen's Dance Studio and taking classes at The Edge Performing Arts Center and Millenium Dance Complex . She began working as dancer out of high school and has danced with artists such as Kanye West, Rhianna and Lenny Kravitz. She continued her dance career while at the University of Southern California as co-captain of the World Famous USC Song Girls. Anasheh also danced professionally in the NBA as member of the Los Angeles Clippers Dance Team for 3 seasons . She has been teaching at Gotta Dance Academy and choreographing for the competition dance team for 10 seasons. Most recently two of her teams have earned the prize of National Grand Champions in the 2014, 2015, & 2016 seasons.
After a hard-fought battle with cancer, Ms. Anasheh became an angel on January 31, 2017, and is now wearing her crown and dancing with the angels in heaven. We dance today in her memory, and our newest studio space, Studio A, has been dedicated to her memory.

We support this amazing foundation and have become an official Hope Studio, pledging to continue to raise money for the fight against cancer. This is a foundation that is near and dear to our heart, as our teacher, Ms. Anasheh, just recently lost her battle with cancer. Our strong and beautiful Anasheh is now dancing as an angel in heaven.
