    I love to dance and when I mentioned a totally different twist to the typical slow "first dance" most couples do my husband was ecstatic, but with our busy schedules we were not sure how it would fit in the formula. Not to mention we planned our wedding in two months and boy did it go by fast! So where do I begin, we were on our way to California from Washington DC to meet with our photographers for our photo shoot. Meanwhile, I was doing a Yelp search for dance choreographers, since I knew there would be no time in DC and came across Emma. I thought to myself just when I saw her pic that I loved her already not to mention her clients love her too. A few days later on our way to do our engagement shoot we were talking to our photographers and his team about the plans I had for my husband and I for the week ahead, I mentioned that I booked with Emma they were all shocked. Our photographers simply said you are in great hands, she is the best and one of them proceeded to call her on the spot. They spoke a few minutes and then he handed the phone to me and we clicked instantaneously and she fit us in right away. From our initial phone call, dance practices, days leading up to the wedding, and after I cannot express how thankful we were to have met Emma. She is a beautiful, genuine, fun, real, energetic, and not to mention awesome dancer! We had less than a week to choreograph 5 different genres of music including Persian, Armenian, French/ Arabic, and Spanish with different tempos and movement, but we made it happen, thanks to Emma believing in us. So the day finally arrived, all the dance practices we did, videos we watched from our lessons, facetime sessions with Emma we could not let ourselves or Emma down. After all her students are a reflection of her and there was not one person who could not wait till we perform. So as thing don't always go as planned, the live band started to play " Aicha" (one of the songs included in our mix) because that's how and where it all started, so thanks to our countless dance practice and sessions with Emma we winged that portion. About an hour later, our dj played our mix of the first dance it was supposed to be 4 1/2 minutes but turned out to be 8 minutes. Again, thanks to Emma for prepping us and giving us the confidence to dance with our hearts and let loose. So to sum things up, Emma is like the meaning behind her name which means universal. As Jenna Dewan says "Dance doesn't have a language, Dance is a universal language, and whether you know how to dance or grew up training in dance, you have a respect for people who love to dance, and it's also visually very entertaining to watch a great dancer. " Further, she is very talented and passionate about making sure her students know their dance and having fun while learning. Dancing is in her soul. I instantly bonded with Emma when I met her because she could understand my passion for dance and understand how therapeutic it is and was. I recommend Emma in a heartbeat as she exerts her positive energy on others and I have no doubt that anyone around her will see through her passion for dance.

    Where do I even begin?! I've always dreamed of performing a pretty wedding first dance and Emma's lovely choreography and strict but gentle teaching skills made that dream come true. I loved each and every lesson and sometimes did not want the lessons to even end. What I love about her choreography is that she makes sure that the dancers look good. She genuinely cares for you and is flexible to adapt the moves around any issues that may arise. I honestly can't stop watching my first dance and cannot thank Emma enough for teaching 2 awkward dancers to shine!

I know dancers who have learned from her and they all have been very happy and well-trained. Her performances that she creates have been nothing short of brilliant. Erin has a passion for her work. She is caring and involved with her school like no one else that I know. If you or your child is looking for a place to learn dance, I'd recommend this school. You will learn correctly - but on a good gradient - not too fast, not to slow - with the end being a wonderful dancer, to your best ability.

    This review is based on our experience in Ms. Alexis' Primary A/B ballet class…read more Firstly, I want to give Ms. Alexis a 5 star rating on how well she works with young girls. She was able to magically sweep my 5-year-old daughter away into a fairytale land where she imagined all of her favorite things and learned proper ballet techniques, strengthened and stretched her body, and had fun dancing with her friends. She loved it so much, we wished it was more than once a week and didn't stop for summer break. Something I would like to see more of is the teaching of short dance routines after all of the typical exercises they do. One thing that many of the parents were dissatisfied with was how often there was a substitute teacher, and the general lack of communication there was regarding class schedules and offerings from the office. I hope this review will help you in deciding which program to put your child in, and will provide the school some insite into our experience. We're looking forward to returning for the upcoming fall session!

As a Chiropractor, I work with a lot of patients who also train at XTP, and the difference in their strength, body awareness, and overall movement quality is undeniable. They come in more connected to their bodies, with better control and stability, which makes a huge difference in both their recovery and performance. Janine is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to the musculoskeletal system, and that really shows in how she coaches and programs. What I appreciate most is how easy it is to communicate with her. I can confidently talk through cases, movement patterns, or specific concerns, and she just gets it. That level of understanding and collaboration is rare and so valuable for patient outcomes.

I took a chance, signed up, and I'm so glad I did! I had so much fun, I signed up for the next session before the first had even ended. Eventually I switched to her Tuesday night class because it's year round and there's no gap between sessions. Even then, I found myself looking forward to Tuesdays so much, I rejoined Monday nights as well. Both classes are full of all ages and ability levels. Leela starts off slow teaching the techniques and moves, gradually working up to speed and putting it to music. By the end of class, everyone is doing the choreography. Leela makes class so much fun. We dress up and take pictures to celebrate holidays. Be sure to let them know when your birthday is because we love celebrating birthdays each month. Everyone has been so welcoming. I've made so many amazing friends through Leela's Bellydance that I probably would never have come across in my normal day to day routine. Whether you're looking to learn a new skill, or just something fun to do to unwind once a week, I highly recommend checking out Leela Bellydance!

My daughter is going to a dual language school next month, but we will sincerely miss Pennsylvania Ave. Montessori.
