For the best dance instructor around -- AJ, you are a rare gem who radiates so much light to everyone who has the honor of crossing your path! Teddy and I were SUPER nervous to start dance lessons (just a couple weeks out from our wedding), but you were so positive and encouraging and thoughtful in your approach to teaching a couple of adults who showed up dancing like baby deer learning to walk. You made it fun and easy...something we really looked forward to. It was truly one of our favorites activities together as a couple -- which says a lot from a couple who had never danced together before meeting you. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us and helping us feel confident and even excited to share a first dance together as husband and wife. We plan to see you again, but you should know that we'll always think about you when we look at our wedding photos of us dancing. , J & T

I tried out Paz Studios for the first time this week! They have a $30 one week unlimited new client…read morespecial. You can't really beat that pricing wise. I had been wanting to try them out for a while so finally decided to go for. I probably (well definitely) went in a little too hard signing up for their Hot Power Vinyasa class and well it was a pretty torturous hour and a half for me. If you are not rusty in your yoga practice and enjoy a heated class you would probably really enjoy this one. Elliott was the teacher and he was really a big help. I like when teachers correct you here and there and he helped me out a few times throughout the class. The class is definitely a good mix of poses so you don't get bored with the same pose over and over again. Elliott could clearly see that I was struggling a bit (understatement) and asked me after class how I was doing. I told him not too good and he gave me a few tips on things to work on especially my breathing; since well, yoga is pretty much all about that breathing. I would take his class again for sure, even though I was crashing and burning I didn't feel judged or uncomfortable during class. I also like that Paz is not just a yoga studio they also offer Barre and Pilates classes. I plan to try out both since they are included in the first week unlimited. They also have a great variety of class times. I am not a night class person (way too much opportunity to decide you don't want to go to class after all) and they have a few morning and lunch time options. The boutique is nice too, a good variety of lovely pricey workout cloths and accessories. They have a small parking lot on the side of the building and I had no problem finding free street parking right in front of the studio.

They are professional and fun; the kind of people you wouldn't mind spending an hour a week with for 14lessons. We looked forward to every session. They not only taught us our choreography but, the foundations of dance. Me and my partner are not as comfortable with dance and they made it attainable and alleviated stress. Thanks to them, we knocked all for wedding dances out of the park. Our guests were thrilled with our performances. Would highly recommend!!!!!

Mickey and Penny's Carolina Shag Lessons

Very neat different activity to do and a great place to learn!…read more My wife and I started going to Mickey and Penny's Shag lessons just prior to COVID. She had talked about wanting to learn, and while I had seen people do it my whole life, I knew nothing about it! We signed up for the beginner classes and showed up! The lessons themselves are in the basement of Mickey and Penny's house and it is an awesome set up! Plenty of room, neat lighting and decorations all around! Penny and Mickey do a fantastic job of making everyone feel welcome and helping everyone no matter their skill level! Of course they are both fantastic shaggers that have previously competed, but they are also great teachers of the Shag! It did not take us long at all to at least be comfortable enough to go with a group from class to shag out in public one night! Unfortunately after a few lessons, COVID came about and we were not able to continue for about a year. We have recently started back and picked back up where we left off! Some of the couples in the beginners group are the same and there are some new ones, but everyone is super nice and just looking forward to having fun while also learning to do the Carolina Shag! I would definitely suggest Mickey and Penny for Shag lessons whether you are looking to get very good and compete in Shag, or just looking to learn enough to have fun on the weekends or at a party or two!

I had a great day at Wet 'n Wild Emerald Pointe! The park was clean, the staff was friendly, and…read morethere was plenty to do for all ages. The food was also reasonably priced and had large portions, which was a nice surprise. They provided free bottled waters to guests as it has been such a hot July. I attended on July 7 with 4 adults. I did pay for a covered chairs for 2 which was worth the price. A disappointment was the rides and pools closed abruptly around 3:30 p.m. due to the threat of rain. While safety always comes first, it ended up not raining at all, so it was frustrating to lose several hours. Also, the staff had no idea and provided little updates when it did close. I wish there were more indoor or covered seating areas to escape the sun and enjoy a meal comfortably and possibly an adult area. I loved the lazee river was able to go around and around and relax. I also enjoy riding the edge it is so thrilling. Also note that on a normal day some rides (located in the back of the park) close an hour earlier than the park's closure and some rides open an hour later after the park opens (soak zone). You do have to pay to park. I had a fun visit and would definitely come back. Hopefully next time the weather cooperates a little better. As most reviews I will be back it is too close to home to not enjoy and next time I will review the food a bit more.

This is a nice park to take kids to for something to do. They had signs saying you shouldn't enter the water in certain places, but people seemed to ignore those. Lots of laughs and splashing heard as we walked around. :) They have several restrooms which were pretty clean for the most part also, which was a good thing. Parking is plentiful, but how close you can park depends on how crowded it is. We were initially directed to an overflow lot but just as we got out of the car, some spaces opened up in the main lot so we were able to move. I believe you can also get on a chartered boat here to go on Lake Norman. Nice place, we will return.

They had ample amount of parking space, from there it was a short walk to the kids play area, the giant man made cliff at the edge of the quarry and what seemed to be vast hiking trails. The kids park was supposed to be closed for renovations, but people were enjoying it nonetheless with the sign thrown to the side. The cliff was really nice too, you get a glimpse of the downtown skyline, the clean water filled in the quarry alongwith the giant flower (curious to know the purpose of that)! We walked around a bit and it was great place to fly a drone as well if you have it. Its a great place spend your weekend morning or evening and hangout.
