And the demonstrators, who are some of the older dancers at the studio, are also so amazing with the kids. They offer a wide variety of classes (tap, jazz, ballet, acro, etc) once the dancers are of the right age to start them, as well as having a killer competition team. This summer (2021) they offered camps in addition to summer classes. Both of my daughters participated in camp, and they loved sharing all the fun activities & dancing they did during the day. I recommend Dancemakers to all of my mom friends in the area when they're looking for a local studio. We look forward to our many years at this studio!

The teachers are wonderful and I also highly respect the owner, Lindsey, who has always been helpful and kind. In addition to dance classes for kids, All That Dance also offers adult dance classes which I have found to be very accommodating regardless of previous dance experience - which is ideal because you get a great workout in a fun environment. I am grateful that All That Dance has created such welcoming classes for their students, both kids and adults. Parent communication has been great and if I ever have questions there are multiple avenues to chat with someone.

Unfortunately, this studio is not a place that I would highly recommend…read more The owner and management is not a professional and that was my biggest turn off. The inside of the studio is spacious, most often it was cleaned once a week which for the amount of traffic that goes through there-that is not enough. The billing can be tricky and very hard to follow. Communication to the 'teams' isn't great, I learned that from a seasoned mom and boy was she right. A lot of turnover for the instructors which says a lot about the management of the studio. Parking can be very tight and so full at times you can't get a spot.

We are so grateful for Stagelights! Without Lisa's encouragement and her ability to spot Sofia's…read moretalent, Sofia may never have discovered her passion for performing -- and for that, we are forever thankful. Gracie has helped her grow so much in her dancing and fueled her love for it even more. Lisa has continued to encourage her in singing and has helped her truly flourish. Kayla and Noelle are also amazing -- so supportive, kind, and talented. Every member of the staff goes above and beyond to help the kids feel confident, inspired, and excited to learn. Stagelights truly encourages and develops their students to become true triple threats -- strong in acting, singing, and dancing -- all while building their confidence and love for performing. Our son just started performing and recently completed his very first musical at Stagelights. He had the best experience and is already so excited to join the summer play. We couldn't be happier to be part of the Stagelights family!

An adult bullying a toddler is the only red flag we needed. Center Stage also has indoor viewing area to watch the kids dance! There's a giant window to see through and chairs, and AIR CONDITIONING (huge deal since at Stagelights it's a "privilege" to view your child in class while cooking outside in the sun on a hard plastic chair... being able to watch dance class from indoors on a soft chair is PRICELESS!) Stagelights is absolutely cheaper than most. But you get what you pay for! If it's worth it to you then go for it. I couldn't sleep at night if I didn't warn other moms of the experience. We wasted 3 years here, but once my two year old was mistreated the loyalty had to end. Do better for your own child & find a studio elsewhere!

DO NOT DO PT HERE…read more After a series of deaths in my life I went to my PT to cancel (after completing a 3 month contract you are forced into to do PT at all) because just eating was difficult let alone trying to work out. He convinced me to freeze instead of canceling, stating he would check in as we approach . Well what I didn't know is that to both freeze and cancel they require you to pay for two more sessions - by convincing me to freeze he guaranteed himself four more sessions with me I would be forced to complete or lose money. Hold on, it gets even better! He never followed up with me, I was then charged for a month of PT at the end of October, meaning now I have paid for 6 sessions I don't want and still do not have the capacity to follow through on. When I speak to Crunch I'm told that even though I have paid for SIX sessions I still have to pay for two more to cancel. Lovely. I speak to "management" about a refund for any of the sessions considering 1) PT did not disclose I would need to pay two more sessions to cancel after already doing that for a freeze. 2) PT never followed up and I wouldn't have agreed to that freeze without assurance of a follow up bc I was grieving and not on top of things outside of my job to survive. 3) what work / labor / expense justification can be made that I need to spend all this money to cancel when I already followed through with the contracted 3 months? We are now in December, the manager no longer returns my calls. No answer from corporate on their decision of my refund request (I'm assuming bc I have not been informed). My PT used my grief against me and had the audacity to lecture me about 'not answering his texts / follow up" when I went to speak to him about my disappointment in his professionalism. I'm so over accountable I believed him and apologized bc I didn't have my phone on me to check. Guess what - those text and follow up were non existent! There is not any missed communications between us but WAIT ! It gets better. I'm in Washington DC watching as my ex PT is booking and marking sessions complete. This insures that he gets paid from the sessions I have on my account I am trying to get refunded. Funny, I wasn't important enough to get a text / call 'hey girl your freeze is about to be done, are you ready to come back?' But he can remember to book sessions to pay himself. I highly doubt I am the only person to experience this. It breaks my heart to know elderly people, people where English is their second language; people with fixed incomes, and people who are battling insecurities with their bodies could experience what I am experiencing now. Please know the 'tour of the gym with a PT is a scam". Every opportunity they have to get you to sign a dotted line there is a way to hook you for more money. They also have a very unhealthy culture - I'll never forget the day my PT tried to bond with me by making fun of a sweet woman in her 40s dancing while she worked out. Nothing better than realizing the person you made responsible for helping your health has an unhealthy judgmental brain themselves. What happened to the space of 'No Judgements' ? The day we lost Lifestyles, a gym of integrity with a childcare area for families to this predatory, contract binding Crunch was a sad day for our community. Side note, this is not just a problem with our location. If you try to contact corporate or call any listed numbers you realize very quickly this is a business design. By creating an unreachable gap between individual gym and corporate, they guarantee a culture of no accountability. It's not unintentional, it's a business model. RUN AWAY

TLDR: Amazing prenatal yoga classes, wonderful tribe of moms in the Mommy and Me classes, and now I…read morecan add the perfect place to throw a birthday party! I've been going to Green Locus Yoga for close to two years now. I started when I first got pregnant and now my son is 13 months. Wow, does time fly. Most recently, we attended a one year old birthday here. It was perfect! Here was the set up. We ran in 15 minutes late (of course. Btw how were all the other moms on time? I honestly thought we would all be that late.) The class had already started and kids and moms were dancing on their yoga mats. I really respect places that are timely! We had about 30 minutes of yoga/body movement to music (about 45 minutes for everyone who was on time). Then we had some refreshments the mom brought. I thought it was over at this point, but no, we had more structured play with a giant parachute! I thought it was a fantastic way to structure the birthday for one year olds - they have the attention span of squirrels so that food break was a necessity. At the end of the party, Mallory, the owner, told everyone to stay as long as we liked, but of course being moms of toddlers, everyone ran for nap time. However, it is a good feeling knowing you are never rushed to leave. After throwing Yoshi's first birthday at my house this year, this seems like the perfect alternative for his next birthday. They have a cap of 12 parents/kids (so a total of about 25), which makes sense for the space. We had a blast and the class was perfectly suited for the age of the kids.
