Most were younger adults (where I'm almost 50). Everyone was nice and the instructor choreographed a beautiful routine. I just wish I was in better "dance shape" to have kept up. I mistook "open" for beginner and I would not say it was a beginner class. You need to know basic terminology of dance to keep up at all. If they ever offer a beginner class I'd be apt to come back.

Momentum gave me back my love for dance and grew my passion. I hesitated to switch studios about…read moretwo years ago because I wasn't sure if I wanted to change things, but I'm so glad I did. The coaching is excellent, and you can see that all the teachers genuinely want to be there and are passionate about dance and teaching. They are also very good at allowing dancers to express themselves and their feelings. The studio brings in a variety of choreographers and tries different styles to keep us well-rounded as dancers and open-minded about dance. I appreciate how we have open conversations as a team to address any issues and maintain a family vibe. I also feel like they really listen to us, and if something isn't working, we try something else. Overall, I highly recommend the studio; it has truly changed my life for the better.

That allowed us to enter the dance recital universe to see our granddaughter on stage and witness her excitement over being a part of Momentum's world. It's quite an impressive world encompassing little 4-year-old munchkins that toddle around the stage on up to Senior Girls who dance and jump around like the Rockettes. At yesterday's 4th Annual Dance Recital at Natick High School, we saw (predominantly, but not entirely) girls in that age range take the stage to perform jazz, ballet, hip-hop, tumbling, interpretive, lyrical, Acro, and tap routines. The groups ran the gamut from open classes through competitive performance based elite teams. Momentum's organization of this massive event involving hundreds of performers, hours of logistics, scripting out power-point slides and music for each routine, moving in gym mats and props, and enough routines and staff to take up a 73-page program was very impressive. I really enjoyed watching the teeny-tiny little girls doing their routines. Talk about sweet cuteness overload! Some of them danced, some swayed from side to side, and some just stood there stock still. There was an instructor in the wings of the stage doing the routines for them to look at, sort of like a human teleprompter showing motions instead of words. The looks of utter joy and pride on their faces were lovely to behold. We thoroughly enjoyed the show.

My son (8) and daughter (12) have both danced with CRBA since age 3 and love it! My daughter now attends multiple days a week and is advancing in her ballet training, technique and pointe work. The teachers continue to challenge her and help her take pride in her progress. My son loves learning about different ballets and working with his classmates to choreograph pieces together. Both of my kids always come out so happy from their ballet classes. CRBA puts on an impressive Workshop Performance each year where students perform costumed and on stage. My daughter has also enjoyed performing in CRBA's annual Choreography Workshop. I would definitely recommend this ballet school for little ones just starting out to serious dancers who want to advance their training. The adult classes are fun too!

There are definitely days when the only reason I don't go to class is because there's no AC.
