His family and church hosted the Celebration of Life for the late Elder Eddie Walker. The venue is indeed an excellent one for any occasion - birthdays, bridal and baby showers, repasts, parties, etc. There is a stage area for bands to perform. For this occasion, the stage area was the pulpit. The Celebration of Life for my departed classmate was uplifting. Just hearing the praise and love by family members and friends, sharing memories of a man who was faithful, a mentor to his relatives and no matter where he was, the gospel was being preached. The ambiance is one of comfort. The catered food was quite enjoyable. Yummy delicious was the Southern green beans that accompanied the mac 'n cheese, bbq chicken and candied yams. I did not meet the owner of BK Studio. I have to admit based on my observation she did this occasion right.

The space itself was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, creating the perfect atmosphere for our event. Any questions or requests were handled quickly and with genuine care. What stood out was the attention to detail and the many party options available. It was clear that Keela and her staff takes great pride in what they do, and it made a big difference in my overall experience. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, high-quality, and enjoyable space for their event.

I wanted to support a local business, so I bought a birthday balloon here even though it was…read moreoverpriced. Unfortunately, the balloon started deflating before I even reached home--and I live just around the corner. I called the store and was told to come back, but once I did, they said the balloon had a hole and refused to refund, replace it, or even try to fix it with tape. When I first left the store, the balloon already didn't look fully inflated, but I assumed it was intentional. Clearly, that wasn't the case. Very disappointing experience. I won't be supporting this place again. For me it's not about the money but the way they handled the whole situation.

Very large, beautiful, well lit dance studio and theatre teaching pole dancing and the performance…read morearts. I know of FVT through my pole dance instructor, Kirsten (Mz. K) at Sedusa Studio in Campbell. She's been one of my first pole dance instructors since 2014 at Sedusa, and have taken other pole classes with her over the years at Phoenix Pole and Aerial Arts when it was open in Berkeley as well. Mz. K has since opened FVT. Mz. K was the first pole teacher I've had who first class, asked if we've had any injuries, and what modifications we can do for them. As an acupuncturist, and Qigong instructor, I really appreciate that level of concern for students since every body is different, and helps us be more conscious of challenging movement for our physical needs. FVT is a terrific space for the pole community to expand on our dance repertoire and skills. One feels like a professional performer in that dance space. With 12 poles, there's plenty of space on smooth, gorgeous flooring to explore your sexy dance side. Did open pole dance practice and a dress rehearsal on stage to prep for PSO GG 2025 competition. Have yet to take dance classes there, but with the teachers on board, it will be a marvelous experience to explore all our pole dance dreams. Get started ASAP & get stronger and more gorgeous as you go. You won't regret it!

There's something for everyone here - dark and moody choreo classes, chair classes, Pilates-focused classes, flexibility ("fluxibility" - so cute!), intro classes for those who have never touched a pole and advanced classes for people who have trained for years. I know many dancers who drive from the far corners of the bay to train here. I can always depend on the community that flux has created - a safe space, a clean space, a welcoming space. The owners are present and feel like old friends even when you're new. I love them as instructors, performers, and mentors if you want pole career or teaching advice. If you come here, I guarantee you'll keep coming back!
