Six lessons with John and we had 3 dips, a lift, and a 2.5 minute first dance set perfectly to the music. He will not only teach you how to dance but he'll put any nerves you have at ease within the first minute. Cannot recommend Pivot Ballroom and John enough.

I followed it one night wondering what was going on this late at night and was lead to the Pivot Ballroom. The windows were open, lights flashing, and energy flowing, I went upstairs to check it out and was shocked at how many people were up there dancing away. I was greeted by an enthusiastic and sweet girl, Paola, who explains she runs the Latin Dance Party first and third Friday each month at the Ballroom, she is with Controla Dance Academy. Salsa, Mambo, Bachata, and more! The party goes from 10-1:30, but things start at 8 with dance lessons. 15$ cover before 9, 20$ after. BYOB and BYOF, they do have water and snacks available for free. I usually grab a pizza from Ardmore Pizza and bring it up to share. DJ spinning tunes and loads of people dressed to kill, it's a fun time and well worth checking out! While you are there grab an event calendar, they have lots of dance functions every month.

They call it 'Tightwad Tuesday' and for good reason. $6, all day…read more While recliners in modern theaters are preferable to what they have here, I never like choosing my seat from a diagram at the box office. At Reel Cinema sit where you want, which is good for people like me who inevitably try a few rows before finding my optimum place. (BTW, the auditorium is very big, so it's unlikely they'd ever have a packed house. Stadium seating, too -- though the seats where I was weren't properly staggered.) The theater is a block away from Narberth's main drag. Definitely feels a little dated. But I don't care. Nostalgia! Plus -- while I don't know the going rate for popcorn -- I think it's less here. $6 and $7.

Great neighborhood venue…read more The theater is located on Route 30. There are multiple nearby parking options and restaurants.

In honor of Thanksgiving, I give thanks to my local music venue which has grown and gotten…read moresignificantly better with age. With my first review during the early days of 2014, I was impressed with what I saw there while being critical of what needed grounds for improvement. Now nearly ten years later I need to give due thanks to them not only for fixing the snafus that I saw but also for exceeding expectations in a lot of the other departments! The first thing I love is AMH's commitment to the local area which you see in their partnership with Ripplewood that sees them sharing a kitchen and a lot of events. But you also see it in the local acts that they bring in on a regular basis, and the exterior events that they provide the music for like outdoor shows in Suburban Square, and the big Ardmore Rock n' Ride Festival. During the pandemic, AMH helped keep my sanity by still live-streaming events like two nights of the Philadelphia Music Festival and a super fun Living Colour show. I've also grown to appreciate the the brews and food that they bring have since all the food comes from Ripplewood, and their tap list might just be the most extensive and reasonably priced that I've seen for a music venue. The main reason to go to AMH is the shows. And in the past few years I've been able to see local acts like The Dead Milkmen, Low Cut Connie, and Japanese Breakfast; and well known acts like Flock of Seagulls, Fishbone and Chameleons (UK) play here. Toss in things like dance partiea and beer festivals, and it definitely runs the full gamut of providing a good time.

My daughter attended what was advertised as "writing camp." Her experience was awful. None of the…read morestaff was qualified to teach writing, and for that matter nobody attempted as much. There was no writing instruction. In addition, the staff seemed to have neither talent, nor experience in working with children and regularly treated the kids as if they were much younger than they were. It was amateur hour to be sure. Finally, and I'm just going to be blunt, the staff were weird. If you're looking for some kind of legitimate writing experience for your kid, then look elsewhere. This is just oversold babysitting, and bad babysitting at that. But the food was actually pretty good.
