The two groups were not split during the night for the dance instruction or activities. For pizza it was not planned to give each kid 2 slices, come on its dominoes pizza give the kids 2 slices. Each kid received 1 slice and then my daughter asked for a second where they responded were not sure everybody can get a second slice. To fix this, the pizza was cut into smaller slices. The movie choice of Leap was great. The popcorn was great. A bit more division by age, skill, and plan to give each kid at least 2 slices of dominoes pizza.

She's had the opportunity to take multiple styles of dance and is now part of the company program, which has been a fantastic experience.

The studio fosters a supportive and inspiring environment, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to nurture their own or their children's love of dance.

Came for my first salsa lesson and speed dating event this past Friday and had a great time! Our…read moreteacher Andrea was knowledgeable and fun while also being very encouraging. I barely have rhythm but I still had a good time. The speed dating was fun too and I appreciate that you get a diverse experience with meeting people and dancing. Price is a bit steep but maybe it's in line with the prices for their classes. There are a lot of parking garages nearby but I would recommend the Bethesda Elm Street Garage on 4910 Elm St, it was $5 for 3 hours and then it's free after that. Very close to Salsa with Silvia. You can't park outside of the building so be aware of that, not too sure about the other street parking. I would def do it again and I highly recommend! The staff that ran the bar and the speed dating were super sweet and polite. Overall a great time!

My husband and I decided to come for the Valentine's Day rumba lesson at the last minute. I'm so…read moreglad we did! The lesson came with a glass of wine that you could get at the beginning or end. The wines weren't anything special if you're a wine snob like I am but the lesson was the reason we were there. Mario, the instructor, was fun and engaging. Sylvia joined him for partner work to show us how to do some of the steps. Despite being the owner, she allowed Mario to really shine and lead the lesson while she stood silently by his side unless there were specific questions directed to her as the follow. I do wish the follow gave a bit more instruction. I've done several swing dance lessons before and that's always how they go - the lead (typically male) goes over the steps and the lead, and then the follow instructor tells and shows the follows what to do. Instead, Mario explained the steps for lead and follow which made it a bit tricker for people with two left feet like me to follow along. Despite that, we had a blast and are so glad we went and got out of our comfort zones. We hope to be back for more lessons! Singles - Salsa with Sylvia hosts speed date nights! I'm trying to talk some of my girlfriends into going.

Fun fact-- as a kid, I was a technically trained dancer. From 5th grade through 10th grade, I was a…read morestudent of modern, jazz, African, and ballet. Fast forward to 2023, I'm a 34-year-old 240lb MAN, and I decided to tap back into myself by spontaneously enrolling into a drop-in ballet class on a random cold Tuesday night, and I'm glad i did! The venue is clean and the staff is friendly and inclusive. The instructor, Rachel, was great. The class was packed and for all levels, but Rachel created an environment that made me feel comfortable and took all my nervousness (and low key embarrassment) away. i enjoyed it so much that i took my (clearly out of shape) behind to her Modern Dance class immediately after. And I paid for it... i was sore for days. It felt GREAT! :) Although both classes were for All Levels, I would've appreciated if the instructor showed movements full out instead of marking the steps and throwing us newbies to the wolves. Also I would love for Joy of Motion in general to host more adult beginning-level ballet classes or a flexibility, conditioning, and strengthening class using ballet techniques. Joy of Motion is a beautiful venue conveniently located in the up-and-coming H Street corridor. Overall, I had an amazing first-time experience and i will certainly return.

The choreography was just challenging enough to give me a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day, but still have something to work on at home. I was lucky to be able to take Afro Jazz that day because the class had been cancelled online (I just saw it listed on the paper schedule and decided to drop in). Fortunately, two other ladies missed the memo as well, and we ended up having a wonderful class experience. I had to ding the studio a star both because it was freezing cold in the studio and because it smelled awful when I entered. I understand that many classes share these spaces, but a hit of Febreeze air freshener before and after classes would work wonders!

We reached out to Alina, who, over the course of four lessons, was able to help us coordinate an absolutely perfect dance routine that was both challenging, yet accessible for our skill level. She is very patient and adapted the routine based on our skill level. She also made sure to ask questions about the wedding dress (and how it would affect my ability to dance and move) and the venue layout/surface to make sure that our routine was perfectly choreographed. Besides being a wonderful dancer, Alina is an absolute joy to work with! She was very good about emailing us prior to our lessons to confirm and responded to our emails promptly. Despite our initial anxiety, taking dance lessons with Alina ended up being one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning process. I highly recommend Alina and MyDance Studio!
