About 10 years ago I was teaching here for the summer and it was a great experience. The owner was…read morereal nice and decent and the kids were amazing with loads of talent and luckily I brought my Los Angeles swagger to Memphis to put them on the right track to dance. At the time Justin Timberlake's little brother Jonathan was one of my students as well and I remember he took to dance really well. I taught 3 to 4 classes a day from 8 years old to the teenagers and a mommy class on Fridays. Those were the good ole days in Memphis, but if you're ever in Germantown and you have the need to get your dance on please go to this studio.

Each spring, students work together and put on a big recital, for which parents have to stand in line to buy tickets. Costumes, production, the whole shebang. Rehearsals are daily the week prior to the program. Every other week of the school year, students attend a weekly class. The little ones take in the downstairs classrooms, accessed either through a back door (which they don't want anyone using when weather is cold, because it puts a chill on the downstairs studios), or through the painfully tight upper lobby and down a set of metal spiral stairs. When classes change, this is a truly hectic scene. I've started just dropping my 3 year old daughter in the lobby to walk herself down, because the stairs make me so nervous! In the changing area/restroom, something is always broken or out of order. The big dance area upstairs is a beautiful space, with plenty of room, great windows, and the tweens and teens seem to take their classes up there. The little girls are allowed to wear whatever leotard they like to classes, as long as they have appropriate dance shoes and purchase the tap shoes provided by the studio (they must all match for the show). Hair is to be up in a bun when possible, and not in a bow. When we came to join the studio in the fall, we may have caught the staff at a bad time. Miss Deborah, the dance teacher for the little ones, had just driven to Chicago and then lost her phone while she was up there. I never could get anyone on the phone from the actual studio, and have not been able to get much information from them via email. Your best bet is just to come into the studio between 4-5:30 one afternoon, to get information in person. It sounds from this review that it is a terrible place, but my daughter *adores* her hour-long ballet class, Miss Deborah, and the other little ballerinas. As long as she continues to enjoy it, we'll keep her enrolled. Maybe someday they'll expand, or get a bigger space. Until then, keep handing out the stickers, and we'll keep paying!

I did Zumba today. ME! Erica B! I did an hour long class of Zumba. I know, you're thinking hell,…read moredoes she want a medal? Well let me inform you- I am the single most uncoordinated gal on the planet. I dance like Elaine on Seinfeld- actually she puts me to shame. I've been known to trip over lines in the sidewalk, carpeting that is too thick and run into walls without any given notice. Yes, I did Zumba. I was never aware of what this actually entailed, but was always slightly curious, though obviously not enough to warrant checking it out. A friend told me about the classes at Midtown Dance Studio, conveniently located in Minglewood Hall and within walking distance of my house. All this and only $7 bucks? ($40 unlimited all month- and they have weekday classes as well. Freaking steal!) There were no excuses. I agreed to go this morning. I foolishly researched a video of it a mere 30 minutes before leaving my house and almost backed out. This requires some serious rhythm. Which the dear Lord decided not to gift me. I put on my big girl panties, sucked it up and showed up for the 10 am class. Cue the warm up. Hey, this isn't so bad. I can keep up! Perhaps those videos I watched were advanced! Look at me go! I'm keeping up with the instructor. Next song, not as easy. Okay, I'm just out of shape. I just had a baby, it's hot in here. I can keep going with some minor adjustments to this crazy foot work. Two songs later, asking my friend for the time. We've gotta be close to wrapping this shit up. 10:22?!?!? WHAT?! Okay, I can do this. I can't breathe- but it's all good. Fake it till you make it! Oh, that lady in front of me is pausing. Good. I'll just go grab my water bottle. Whoa! What is going on with the footwork here? I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I look like a lame horse or perhaps a donkey. Cue the incessant laughing by me and the little boy who was drug to the class by his mother. I can't stop laughing. I'm burning more calories laughing than shaking my hips. Is it just me or do parts of Zumba remind you of the dance Patrick Dempsey does at prom in Can't Buy Me Love? Laughing uncontrollably again. Cool down! Ahh yes. This wasn't bad. I was actually quite good. I can do this again next week! Judging by the extreme lack of rhythm going on in my class that thought process has to be pretty similar in everyone's head. Otherwise this place would be empty. If your excuse is that you think you'll make a fool of yourself- screw it. I just made a fool out of myself for the both of us and then some. It was fun. I enjoy laughing at myself- and really points to anyone for showing up and trying. I'll definitely be back- though I'll be having meetings with Billy Blanks in my living room this week to try and build up some stamina. That shit is rough yo!

No referrals, just goodness in a business & we just stuck around. Also good to know: The bathrooms are almost always clean!!! I wouldn't mind if the "viewing rooms & bleachers/seating" areas were cleaned and/or sanitized just a little more regularly. It's not a problem for me but could be to some.

Aerial arts is a…read morespecialized discipline, so some aerial arts gyms can seem really "closed" to those of us who just have a passing interest -- not so with High Expectations. They hosted a beginners Valentines Day workshop yesterday night that my husband and I really enjoyed! The gym sent out important info via email beforehand (bring water and wear pants that cover the backs of your knees). Instructors Danielle and Anne were welcoming, encouraging, and informative. The gym was heated (but there's no A/C in the summer), and there was a large area with thick tumbling mats, aerial silks, static trapeze (not the flying kind) and hoops (there's an official "aerial" name for that which I can't remember). We got to try out each apparatus and learn a few partner tumbling moves -- it was a lot of fun! They offer beginning class series (I think they said they are starting a new partner series in March), private lessons ($70) and shared private lessons ($35 each, you find someone to share with you). There's also open gym on select evenings for $10 (if you're already a student at the gym and want to come practice). If you've never tried aerial arts before, you should give it a shot at least once! Even for beginners, it's fun and challenging, and the team at High Expectations is kind and supportive.

The play was about the holiday, of course, but also how Christmas is celebrated in several different Latin American countries. The Evergreen Theater is located on Poplar, across from India Palace restaurant. The theater is small, but clean and cozy. side note: restrooms passed, very clean The musical was awesome! It was very lively, and everyone seemed to have fun. The musical was mainly in Spanish, but it fit really well, and there were parts and explanations in English here and there. I liked that both languages were intertwined and it made no one feel alienated. Even if you didn't know the words, the actors did well and you could put two and two together with a lot of the stories. My Spanish luckily isn't that far out of tune, so I understood more of it than I thought I would. I thought the origin stories for the piñata and poinsettia were neat. The piñata was originally a symbol of destroying your sins, with the seven points representing the seven deadly sins, and the poinsettia referring to a lesson that any gift given with love will always be acceptable to Him. I'll give this one a rating: Christmas in many lights. Holidays are all about traditions and coming together. It's always important to embrace both our similarities and differences, but also to let someone else's stories have their time in the light. Definitely recommend this one
