    I enrolled my daughter in the toddler ballet class for ages 2-3. She had just turned 2, so she was…read moreon the younger end of the age range. After dropping her off, we had only been gone for about three minutes when we received a call saying she wasn't separating well and asking us to come back. When we returned, the staff member at the front desk simply handed us our check and said, "Maybe next year." I was really disappointed by how quickly the decision was made. I believe a better approach would have been to give us the opportunity to stay and let her adjust to the environment, or even allow her to participate with me nearby to see if she became comfortable. Many toddlers need a little time to warm up to a new setting. Instead, it felt like they were more interested in refunding our money than helping her succeed. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I won't be returning. It's especially disappointing because I have two daughters and was hoping to support a local business, but we'll be looking for a program in another town instead. The place was super cute though!

The ballet instructors teaching the class were warm, inviting and very enthusiastic and I felt very comfortable, not an easy task to have 12 toddlers and expect them to follow directions on the first day. Looking forward to our next class!

Being a Gold Level dancer, I am one step away from Professional Level. So if anyone wishes to enhance his/her credentials in dancing go take classes from her. Additionally, she gets the best of the World's best, such as Andrew Phillips, to add to the dance instruction repertoire. Her studio is welcoming as well as giving your moneys worth. Her Dance Socials enhances the student's confidence in dancing to an audience. A point she always emphasizes at every Social. Furthermore, she is a local (U.S.) and International Adjudicator, which adds to her already estimable credentials.

I've been taking Salsa lessons from Ilona who is easily one of the best teacher's I've ever met. She is extremely talented and knowledgeable, and has a talent for breaking things down in a way that is understandable, fun, and doable. I'm the quintessential math nerd with two left feet who's go-to move is the robot, so if I can learn Salsa, anyone can. You can tell the people here put a lot of thought and care into what they do, and I am beyond grateful I ended up with such an excellent teacher at such a well run studio.

    PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A REVIEW OF THE INITIAL SALSA BEGINNGERS CLASS AND MY REVIEW MAY CHANGE AS I…read moreCONTINUE ON. The staff was nice and welcoming. There is ample parking in the front and rear of the building, two bathrooms, hand sanitizer, and I believe they sell drinks. When you arrive, you check into the desk, sit and wait. Once the class begins you simply get up and begin. In the first class my wife and I took, the instructor was absent and we had someone fill in. The last class went over so we began 15mins late or so, which they made up having us stay later. We started learning the first basic steps "fighter" position and basic, etc for around 30mins. Then after a short break, they separated all of the men, had us all flip the footing, and we didn't have too much time for muscle memory to readjust. So they taught everyone the female position, and the men had to quickly adjust. Just be ready for it. And after that, they let us rejoin any parters we came with for a few minutes, and then had us rotate for the rest of the class to different partners as they played the music to what we learned. For someone who has never taken a dance class before, I was taken aback by the quick change of footing for the men after learning the other position for 30mins. It may be the way this is taught, but for me, and it looked like others, my muscle memory was fighting with me when I tried to flip it. As for the rotating of partners, my wife and I went in believing we would be learning together. and didn't know we'd be dancing with other partners. For the first few minutes before making us rotate when they allowed us to dance with the partners we came in with, my wife and I were very comfortable, enjoying it, and finding a synch that we so naturally have when learning. When we were made to rotate a few mins later and switch partners, it threw both of us off and when we got home we had to try and remember and go over it together since we didn't really get much of a chance together in the class. I would say that even though they have special "couple" rates, It's not an environment for couples to learn together so much as you will learn at the same time and level. I feel this is important for couples to know since we signed up believing we would be able to dance together as we learn. It seems to be designed for singles and individuals as they will definitely never have to worry about having a dance partner. All in all, it was definitely an immersive class for a first timer, with alot covered. The switching of footing for men threw me off a bit and felt like the first 30mins that were only for the men to get used to the style of movement and not the actual footing. The teachers were nice and energized, the environment was welcoming and everyone there and attending the classes was very nice. The only negative for me is that couples will not get much time learning and dancing together. So if you're looking for that, you might want another type of school or private lessons. I don't know. But my wife and I are continuing and my review may change, though I feel that more of the positive will be on their ability to teach us the technical aspects of Salsa so we can dance together at home. And a last note that the class was so packed with people that it was hard not to bump into others. We were wall to wall packed with very little space between us all.

    This is an amazing place. I started from intro classes when I was 40 and two years later I can…read moresometimes take intermediate classes. Every teacher I had was wonderful. I saw Shirley Bassat name mentioned in some negative reviews - I love her! It took a while to get used to her style, but she actually corrects your position, and is warm and caring behind a strict surface. If you have some tolerance of being called out in front of a class, you can make so much progress with her. I also want to mention Vanessa's Pilates classes during the weekend. I've been to many Pilates before, but her class is ADDICTIVE. She tailors the class to everyone there, and remembers everyone's strength, weakness, and goals. She uses different props for each student to make sure even the same move will be most effective for each person on their fitness/ dance journey. She also has a great sense of humor to make challenging classes pass by quickly. The classes are packed and somehow everyone gets individual attention and enough space/ room to practice comfortably.

    This was a spur-of-the-moment activity, but a friend of mine wanted to try a ballet class to see if…read moreshe might get back into dance as a hobby. Another friend had taken classes at this academy before and highly recommended it, so the three of us booked an Introduction to Ballet class on Sunday at 12:00. Check-in was quick and easy. The class was $25 for an hour and a half, which I think is very reasonable considering it's from an actual ballet school. There's no strict dress code, which worked out well since none of us owned ballet attire -- we just wore regular workout clothes and socks, and it was perfectly fine. The instructor was wonderful. She started by asking who had never taken ballet before, then positioned the newer students between people with experience so it would be easier to follow along. I really appreciated that, as I have no dance background and definitely found myself lost more than once. Having people around me to follow made it much less intimidating. The class itself was energetic and fun. The instructor was patient, encouraging, and made sure to keep things approachable for beginners. I'm sure my form was atrocious and I messed up plenty of times, but nobody cared -- the atmosphere was supportive and welcoming, and everyone was just there to enjoy themselves and keep trying. The class had people of all different skill levels and abilities, and it felt very inclusive. Overall, this was a great introduction class, especially for someone nervous about trying something new. I never once felt self-conscious, and I genuinely had fun. I'd highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to take dance classes, whether you have experience or not. If I were interested in pursuing ballet, I would definitely come back.
