Totally justified all the mac and cheese and wings I ate later... PROS For $25 (it was $20 earlier than the week of) we got 2 hours of nonstop dance workout classes. We tried 8 different types of dance including hip hop, ballet, jazz, modern, zumba, and banghra blast! We were greeted with a nice spread of healthy snacks-fruit, hummus, bruschetta, etc. and a coat rack for our things (there are also lockers further in). All the instructors were awesome, music was upbeat, and classes were fun! CONS The room was PACKED. They rotated rows every few songs, but I was seriously afraid of being punched/kicked in the face for most of the hip hop routine. The last session-powerjam stretch- involved a lot of being on the floor, which was really hard and there were not mats. It was hard to keep up with some of the instructors, and I know they tailored this to beginners, so I can only imagine (fear) what the regular class is like! Definitely recommend attending similar events like this and checking this studio out.

I attended Philly Dance Fitness for their Beyonce Twerkshop held in April. Make sure you bring water and comfortable clothing because you will move and you will sweat! I will say that I've honestly never had so much fun in a dance class, especially one where I didn't know what the hell I was doing 35% of the time. PDF really encourages a no pressure keep going type atmosphere which I think will make even a novice feel comfortable. The session was high energy and little to no breaks so it was essentially a full 1.5 hr workout. 3 different instructors participated in this workshop going through different routines. As most instructors have different teaching styles, some would go through the moves whereas others did a type of "crash and burn" style where everyone just went for it. Also, because this was a Beyonce twerkshop, popular Bey routines (i.e Single Ladies, Partition) were also incorporated into the class. For the boring stuff: class was $25, completely worth it to me (especially for 1.5hrs) but may still be expensive for some. Class was COMPLETELY overcrowded which may also be bothersome for some but wasn't really a huge deal for me. They did rotate rows so anyone who desired to be be in the front got equal opportunity to do so. They may want to look into offering several time options for a particular workshop so it doesn't get so overly crowded. As mentioned before, it's very high paced. You're probably better off if you've had some type of previous dance training or catch onto routines quickly but once again, no big deal. Mess up? Just keep dancing. I'm not sure how other classes with PDF are but if you're into reppin for the '99 and 2000 with booty shakin' hits such as Juvenile's "Back that ass up", Ludacris' "How Low", the 2005 hit, "Ms. New Booty" and other anthems to get you moving a twerkshop should definitely be in your near future. Kudos to the attendees that really showed their skills Diplo-esque and all of what else went on that day (if you wanna know go and see!). The dance tracklist was awesome for whoever came up with that as well. Totally an open and creative atmosphere that's not for the faint of heart.

Now I'm a total ballet addict, and it's all thanks to Beverly, the studio's owner and ballet teacher. Beverly does a wonderful job welcoming newcomers to the studio and making ballet accessible to those who haven't done it in years or have never tried it before. At the same time she manages to challenge her regulars. Classes are drop-in but she spends each month or two working on developing specific skills through drills and short choreography sequences. Every class is a little different. I constantly feel challenged, and I feel like my dancing is always improving. In addition to the regular ballet classes there is also BalletEXTREME, a high-intensity ballet fitness class, and small group pre-pointe lessons. Some women in the pointe class used to do pointe when they were younger and are returning to it years later. Many, like me, had never done it before (and probably thought they would never get the chance, like I did). If you ever wanted to try pointe I highly recommend these classes. Ballet isn't the only option at Major Moment. There are many great classes offered at the studio including Zumba, hip hop, and tap (all of which are offered through Philly Dance Fitness, reviewed separately). But ballet is my favorite!

I took a ballet class offered through PDF with Beverly (Beverly is the owner of Major Moment) this past Monday, and WOW! I had taken a few classes at Koresh to try to get myself back into the ballet game, but it was way too intense for me, a lowly "use to be a ballet dancer in high school". This class offered by Beverly was great - she went through the basics including the positions, tendus, degages, ronde de jambes, etc, with some barre work, then we moved to the center for the last half hour of class. I can't stress enough how amazing this class was - it seemed that most people around the room who were doing pretty well, and I know there were some beginners in the class. Beverly has a great personality, with absolutely no attitude - she is simply interested in furthering people's interest in dance while having fun! An added bonus - even though the class seemed slightly easy at the time, I woke up the next day feeling absolutely sore! It was an awesome feeling :) I can't wait to take another class with Beverly!

Deborah was absolutely incredible to work with for our wedding first dance! Neither my husband nor I know ballroom dancing, and I was honestly nervous going into our first lesson. From the very beginning, Deborah made us feel so comfortable, confident, and at ease. She is incredibly patient, kind, and such a talented instructor. She has a way of breaking everything down into simple, easy-to-follow steps, making learning feel fun instead of intimidating. One of my favorite parts of wedding planning was our dance lessons. It truly became a date night for us, and we looked forward to every class. Deborah created such a welcoming environment where we could laugh, learn, and spend quality time together. I purchased the choreographed first dance package and ended up adding an extra lesson because we were enjoying it so much. The number of lessons was perfect--we had plenty of time to practice, feel comfortable with the choreography, and really master the dance before our wedding day. What I appreciated most was how personalized everything was. Deborah listened to all of my ideas and incorporated the moments I envisioned, while also offering creative suggestions that made our dance even more memorable. She really played to our strengths and choreographed a routine that looked elegant, natural, and impressive without ever feeling beyond our abilities. On our wedding day, our guests were completely wowed by our first dance! We received so many compliments, and it truly became one of the highlights of the evening. We never imagined we'd be able to perform a choreographed dance with so much confidence, and that's entirely thanks to Deborah. If you're considering first dance lessons, I cannot recommend Deborah and Ballroom Bliss enough. She made the experience unforgettable, gave us memories we'll cherish forever, and helped create one of the most special moments of our wedding day. read more

My now-husband and I needed to learn some basic steps for our wedding dance. We didn't need to be pros, but we didn't to be tripping over each other either. We went to Kira, our awesome instructor at Ballroom Bliss, for a total of three lessons leading up to our wedding. We went to her with about 5 potential songs that we loved, and she helped us decide which style of dance fit with each. From there it was easy to make our decision, and Kira went about the business of training us. We really loved not only feeling like we were on our own version of Dancing with the Stars on our wedding day, but also the experience of taking the lessons together. It was such a light, fun, and bonding experience during our wedding prep process. They did a great job helping us create something that was fun and that fit us. Kudos, Kira, and thank you so much! read more
