Lessons are aimed at giving you the ability to get out on the floor to have fun no matter what music is playing or how much space there is. It does not matter if you've never done it before - that's why you take lessons:) We were pure beginners when we started, and in a few months we had enough to dance all night at a New Years Eve event. Now it's as much about having a weekly date as it is about improving and picking up new steps.

My only improvement suggestion is to get people acquainted with how to select games and get into the same game, while they have their headset on. The video in the beginning was good, but once you had the headset on it was harder to figure that out. And the the time shouldn't start until people get their gear on. Other than that - great location; easy parking; very clean inside; friendly staff; fun games to choose from. I would def go back!!

We had been here decades ago so we knew we needed to revisit while in the area since this is one of…read morethe best gardens in the country. Not a cheap place at over $30 for most admissions even with some minor discounts. Since we didn't know our exact schedule we took a chance and did not buy a timed admission in advance even though they recommend it. It was going to be another super steamy day for late May so we arrived a bit after they opened at 10am. Everyone else had the same idea. Luckily we were able to buy a ticket on the spot without waiting on line since we used one of the kiosks. There were tons of grade school groups that were running through most exhibits - it appeared their favorite was getting wet from the fountain show's spray! This place is huge with lots of walking but there is enough shade to keep out of the 90 + degree heat. All of the volunteers were super friendly and helpful. Eager to answer all questions and give directions. We covered a lot of ground in three hours and saw all the highlights including two of the fountain shows, the conservatory, the bonsai exhibit, the Italian water garden and the house. Don't miss the behind the scenes exhibit on the pipe organ - fascinating! Everything was beautiful. What an impressive place. No wonder it's so popular.

I let the employees know that there was a toddler and expected them to remove the child and parent from the theater because they are supposed to check IDs for the 17+ age requirement and clearly that wasn't done (and a toddler of that age can't consent or choose to see this type of movie; they are forced to). The parent and group were approached by management and nothing came of it. They allowed a toddler to witness a horror film and for the rest of the theater to hear the child's noises throughout the film. I won't be going back. I expect an R rated film showing at 10pm to be child free, and children shouldn't be subjected to the scenery in such a film. Completely unacceptable on the parts of the theater workers and the parent(s) of the child.
