I love the atmosphere and the black lights and graffiti style writing on the walls. It gives it a fun touch. It wasn't as dance centric as I'm used to but it was still fun and a good workout. And with any spot, each Zumba instructor is different. Wished the room was bigger, people were crammed together. I'm used to going in a bigger gym so you have more space but that's the size space they are working with. Maybe they can help place people or encourage people to move up and let the instructor utilize the stage more. Overall it's a fun place to check out if you love Zumba.

This is the one place I can go where no one judges me or my issues. Something inside me comes alive on the dance floor and even on my hardest days I find myself smiling and letting it all go. For an hour a day I get to be free from my insecurities, which usually has a lasting effect even after class. I've met some great people here and we all have our thing that keeps us coming back for more. It's not just a studio, it's a community of people that need a place to go to be themselves, laugh and have a good time. We make mistakes, we start over, we keep going, we have a good time and that's all that matters. Thank you D!

Unfortunately after 4 years of dancing with this studio we have had enough and will not be…read morereturning. For starters, there is absolutely no consistency when it comes to teachers. We had been doing Friday night classes for the past 3 out of 4 years. Ballet, Lyrical, Tap, and Jazz, most years there were two teachers each teaching two classes. Several times that we signed up, Michelle, the studio owner and director, was the teacher for ballet and lyrical. Each year Michelle was absent for more than half of the classes leaving the dancers to be taught by whatever teacher was available to fill in that day seemingly in the eleventh hour. Several times this was a young dance team member, or Michelle's own teen daughter. The girls were left to mostly run around and play freeze dance the last 10 minutes of a 45 minute lesson. There was never any notice of these absences, and the subbing teacher never gave her name or introduced herself. And obviously as the director was absent, so was her staff much of the time as well. At least twice during the 2019/2020 season my daughters classes were mixed with the little girls classes as neither the assigned teacher or a substitute was available. So girls ranging from 4 years old were in with girls as old as 12, while one teacher did her best to corral 20+ children of different experience in attendance for different classes. No apologies were ever issued, and no makeups were ever offered. It almost must be stated that while the studio itself is fairly new, it it absolutely filthy. Regularly the trash cans overflow, the garbage stinks, the bathroom toilets are clogged, and the floors so dusty that girls leave with their black leotards covered in dust. One poor girl with allergies regularly had hives after her lessons. During the pandemic, the studio understandably closed and the only way classes were conducted were via zoom. Imagine if you will several girls on computers of varying ages and abilities trying to do lessons over the computer, again with over 20 in attendance at times, instructed by teachers who were not their own. It was a disaster and was not conducive to learning at all. With that being said there was much talk about a recital event for the girls, a promise of them using google classroom to learn their dances by their assigned teacher, seeing their costumes and use the music they'd be performing to during recital. I set up my daughter accordingly, but nothing ever came to fruition and the entire idea of the girls learning a routine fell apart. Then came the drama of trying to secure our costumes, for which we paid on time and in full in December. After receiving an email about signing up for summer classes (!!! before the official season had even come to an end!!!) I contacted the director about the costumes and what would be done for recital. The director declared that she was just about to call me to schedule a pick up for the costumes... and stated that in place of recital the girls would be doing a red carpet event with details to follow sometime soon. At that time, we had enough and did not feel it was fair after spending over a thousand dollars in lessons, costumes and apparel that the studio expected more money for the girls to have any kind of conclusion for a red carpet event at the studio. I would recommend anyone looking for a dance studio to look ANYWHERE else. The professionalism of this studio is severely lacking, along with any genuine care about the dancers, unless you're pouring money into the dance team. We tried very hard to hold our tongues and support this small business knowing they must have been hurt by the pandemic, to only be treated rudely and as an afterthought so much of the time. Honestly, just a sincere apology would have gone a long way and that never materialized either.

Worst experience ever. I took my daughter there to see if…read moreit would be a good fit. I purchased a Living Social voucher to try their studio. We ended up thinking it may be a good fit as it is in my town and my daughter like some of the teachers. We signed a one year contract. We were told my daughter could try out other classes they offered to just go in or stay if it is the next class offered. I tried doing that and let her stay but she called me a short time after the class was to start and said she was waiting with the teacher and they were closed. They changed the schedule around without posting it. When it came time for the recital there were male photographers in the girls changing area (which happened to be the cafeteria) moms were not allowed back there to help their children but there were male photographers there. Shortly after I found out about this I called to let them know I thought that was completely inappropriate as many of the children get completely undressed while changing and especially with the younger children without having their parents their to help. I was told by Kim (co-owner) that is where they take the group photos and they have used these photographers for a few years. I advised that the photographers can set up in a hall like most dance schools do. Parents were made aware that kids need to be dropped off and parents cannot stay we were never made aware that there would be male photographers in the same room as our children who were doing costume changes. That would never sit right with me and I told her unless parents are allowed to help their children get changed and male photographers are not allowed to be in a room full of changing minor children that we wouldn't be back. A short time later NYC PAC debited our bank account for a full year of tuition. They were very nice while you are signing up with them but horribly disrespectful If you have a problem

But no -- the a/c is once again non-functioning and I am told that they are working on a new system. But the front desk is unable to provide a time frame. What?? I can't be the only one complaining. This is a premium-priced gym. While I'm forced to complain here, pls also take note that the bathrooms could be better cared for -- I cut my hand twice on a toilet paper holder that was wobbly for months. The two baths in the treadmill area need to be cleaned throughout the day, or at least more frequently. And some of the equipment goes unfixed for way too long. I am reconsidering my membership.

I joined in March and paid nearly $1,000 upfront. At the time I signed up, I was told this payment…read morewould cover my April, May, and June gym dues, as well as my daughter's and my pool membership for the entire summer. I was also told that my monthly dues would resume in July. Instead, I have received multiple emails claiming my account is past due and adding late fees. When I asked the employee who signed me up to provide a copy of the agreement or documentation confirming what I was promised, she refused. For over a month, I have repeatedly called and have been told to speak with Shanon. I have left at least five emails and five voicemail messages, yet I have never received a response. When I log into the member portal, I see a balance due with no explanation. I have requested callbacks through the portal and still have not received any response. To make matters worse, every time I go to the pool, I am stopped and told my account has been flagged and that I need to contact the front desk. It is embarrassing and has made both my daughter and me feel unwelcome. We simply wanted to make sure our account was paid correctly and avoid late fees, yet we have been treated as though we are the problem. I eventually had to cancel the debit card I had on file after it was charged for dues that I had already paid in advance. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend not keeping a debit card on file. This entire situation has felt incredibly frustrating and, at times, like a scam. The accounting department has failed to resolve a straightforward issue, and management has been completely unresponsive. I do want to say that I love the pool. The staff there has always been friendly, welcoming, and professional, and the facility is clean. My daughter loves spending time there, and we plan to continue using the pool each summer--but only without a payment card on file because I no longer trust the billing process. Unfortunately, I will not continue my gym membership because I have lost confidence in the accounting department's ability to bill members accurately or resolve problems when they occur. My hope is that someone in leadership reads this, contacts me, explains why this has been handled so poorly, removes the incorrect charges and account flag, and finally resolves my account.
