When we got there, we weren't really sure where to park but I called them quickly and they told me where we could go and the area looks really sketchy to be honest. There's like a painted sign with arrows telling you where to go in a warehouse, probably not the best place to go after dark, but the room for the silks is right there to the left when you walk in the garage door and Alex was there waiting for us. It's definitely a little bit of a workout and I was sweating a bit too but it's a great activity to do with your girlfriends and you get a lot of action shots while you're up in the air. You get a complimentary fruit or dessert tray with the party and we also paid for the charcuterie board and they were great snacks between your turn on the silks. We also had a group picture with the big ring that I sat on in the air as Alex posed everyone else and she sent the pictures to us after as well. Alex was super accommodating and worked with me with the booking and she was the one who instructed us and was very helpful to anyone who was struggling or uncomfortable. When you book a private party like that, I think you also get a discount for the next class you take so some of us are very excited to come back and do it again! You'll feel really graceful and confident while you're in the air with the silks. I had good reviews from all my ladies.

I'm hoping they add additional classes, since the kids' class on Saturday is sort of crowded and the adult classes are on the weekends or in the evenings. And I want to take a class so badly! Y'all, it looks like a blast! I think this place is fantastic and I can't wait to climb into the silks and fly!

We recently joined Lakeside so that our daughter could join the swim team…read more So far we're enjoying our membership, and my daughter is having a great time being a member of their pretty excellent swim team. The kids practice 4 times per week and I'm impressed with the coaching. There's a small workout room that I've been using in the morning while she's at practice. It's small, and not very fancy, but has all the equipment I need. There are 2 treadmills, a bike, an elliptical, free weights, yoga mat, balance ball, and a multi exercise workout machine. There is a snack bar with a fairly large menu. Everything from mozzarella sticks to quesadillas and a few pretty tasty salads. They also have a great bar - I've enjoyed a couple or so very tasty Bloody Mary's. There are a couple of tennis courts and there's a reception space that's available for rent. It's a small club with a big heart.

I was taught by Mrs. Jeanne who is tough but absolutely wonderful, not to mention strictly trained and incredibly knowledgeable about all things pertaining to the art of dance. I grew up dancing with her daughters, Jeannette and Suzanne, and I am thrilled I see them teaching my daughter now. If you are looking for someone to coddle and pamper your child, look elsewhere. These woman are INCREDIBLE. Strict, but for good reason. They have unparalleled discipline and respect for this art form, and it's a great place to send your child to help them learn to succeed in every avenue of life. During my 15 years dancing here, I gained discipline and confidence that has helped me succeed throughout my life. I've loved my experience here, and I highly recommend this dance school to anyone looking.

1. Foreword I'll begin by saying that several other parents…read morewho have dancers here have chosen not to write reviews in an effort to limit access and/or exposure of their children. I for a long time had the same reservations that they have and as any other parent would have, as we all go through great lengths to make sure our kids are protected. So, I wouldn't be sharing if I didn't have the utmost confidence in the staff's ability to watch over my little lady and maintain the same level of safety and mindfulness that they have shown for years. All that said, I'm happy to be the first to write a review that I believe will be more comprehensive and more representative of an experience that spans just of over half a decade. 2. The Beginning My daughter is nearing her 7th years now, she wasn't yet two when she was placed into her first leotard. We originally chose Off Broadway because they were the only studio we could find who took on students as young as she then was and who were open to taking kids who were only partially potty trained. By partially I mean she knew how to use it and would stop to go sometimes but if she was truly enjoying herself then all bets were off. Although this is the reason we began bringing her to OBDS, the reason she would continue to attend this studio was much more endearing. 3. The Patience For the first year and a half to two years, my daughter would cry every time I dropped her off for practice. This it not an exaggeration, she would cry EVERY...single... time. I was sure that I would be asked to stop bringing her until she had outgrown her dependency on me but that never happened. Each day Mrs. Jeanne or Mrs. Jeannette, would tenderly peel my little girl off of my leg or my arm or out of my hands and ease her into the day. Only they know how long it took to settle her down and actually begin the class. It didn't take long for me to heed the effort that was put forth to making her feel comfortable. 4. The Development As time went on the crying waned until it was gone completely. And for the first year or so dance and the recitals were more of an adorable pastime for me and vicarious rebirth for her mother. But at year two she was beginning to look like a dancer. She had picked up much of the movements and positions some of which she would even teach to me. I would often get corrected for "sickling" but one knows one is learning when one can teach it to another, especially when one is but four years old. This coming year she will try out for company and if she make it then anticipate that I have only began to witness her growth. 5. The Regimen It can be difficult to find a safe and structured environment for kids to thrive in. And although you want the children to enjoy themselves like any other activity you put them in, you hope that they can pull something even broader from the experience, something even beyond the proper way to Tendu or Arabesque. The kids clearly love the staff at OBDS but they also respect them. And I believe that respect is in part garnered through the expectations that are placed upon them. They are to know what leotard to where and when, what behavior is and isn't permitted when they arrive, and how to properly prepare once they have walked through the door. This kind of rigor and precision isn't expected much nowadays and to be honest as a kid I wasn't a fan of it at all. However as an adult I now understand the overwhelming value it held then and that it holds still today. 6. The Family Most family ran businesses are family ran in name alone. OBDS is a family ran business that feels like a family ran business. Mrs. Jeanne celebrated her 35th year of the studio just this past May, 2019. She has been flanked by her two daughters Mrs. Jeannette and Mrs. Suzanne for as long as we have attended. They know the name of every student, collaborate on every dance, and converse with every parent. In all my time I've witnessed only professionalism and love. That's saying a lot when you have parents who constantly interrupt class, bring food or drink in the studio and many other foolish acts that a parent should know better than to do. I have even had some of that professional patience extended to me as I struggle to get daughter to class on time some days after switching to a new school. But traffic or not I know what expected of me just as my daughter knows what's expected of her. And the fact that it is a standard that's applied across the board no matter tenure is something I can't help but to respect.
