The studio is beautiful and welcoming and demonstrates such an incredible commitment to excellence in all aspects of dance and teaching.

They make classes fun and to me it's felt like you don't even notice how much you're learning until class is done and you can take stock of the new skills. They make ballroom feel accessible without sacrificing any of its style or finer points. The studio itself has great energy and you can tell that the owners care about their students. I always look forward to coming to class.

I'm so excited that Memphis finally has a ballroom dance studio of this caliber. These teachers are…read morenot only highly trained, experienced professionals but they love what they are doing. Their teaching is the top priority and not making a sale and you can feel the difference. Plus I love that they continue to learn more and more themselves about all 4 styles (Rhythm, Smooth, Latin and Standard) to stay current and fresh with their teaching ideas. I've been competing a long time and finally have what I want in a teacher. They are patient and fun with beginners too! Everyone can realize their dreams in ballroom dancing here (even if that sounds cheesy, it's true!)

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!

This is an awesome business and I'm thrilled that this exists in Memphis. 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.

There's so much I can say about this cute spot. I decided to have my daughter's 10th birthday here…read moreand yes she's older than their target range, my daughter has Down syndrome so it was perfect for her. The best part is when you book a party the business is closed to the public. I found the party packages to be reasonable. Parking is simple. Just park in the lots available since it's at a shopping mall and upon entering you will need to complete a waiver and wear their socks (at all times). It's pretty secure so no little ones running out the front door. And it's clean. Clean clean clean. The cleanest toddler play spot I've seen. Our host was amazing. He was extremely attentive and helpful. He made sure I could enjoy my guests and not clean up every second. Most of all the kids and the adults had an amazing time. The kids didn't want to stop and eat. I will definitely return. It was perfect.
