Love the barre classes here! Wish there were more times available, but I'm glad there's at least…read moreone a week. Everyone should take this class if they want to be mobile. I work out often and these classes woke up muscles I had been neglecting. The yoga at the end of class is wonderful too. Studio is clean and bright and the instructor is great and makes you feel comfortable right away.

I am disappointed in the lack of customer service skills at this studio. I received a dance package…read morefrom my mom as a gift. We are new to the area, and my mom wanted to encourage me to dance again. I am a hip hop and salsa dancer, neither of which are offered at this studio. I respectfully explained the situation to the owner, Corinne, and was denied a refund because that's "company policy." I understand there are policies in place, but as a business owner, she should be able to evaluate the situation individually, and recognize it as an honest mistake. It shows a lot about someone's character.

Ummm, could you ask for a better place to spend your Thursday evening? Uhhh no!…read more My 3 year old daughter dances here and she loves everything about it. From the girls she has met, to the best teacher ms tammy and the fun dances she has learned. They do tap ballet and acro and all at a reasonable price. It is conveniently located and is so awesome to be at. So go check it out you or your kid(s) won't be disappointed.

From the owner: At Bay-Area School of Dance Arts (or BSDA), we pride ourselves in providing dance education for all…read moreages and abilities. Our selections in music and costume are always age-appropriate, and dancers are training with dancers of a similar age and ability. As proud of our performance and competition teams as we are, our true focus has always been to ensure proper dance technique from an early age. Our daily goal is to instill and maintain a strong foundation of dance technique while always creating an atmosphere of fun (we never forget - DANCE should always be fun!) As our students gain more experience, the opportunities for them to perform and compete also becomes available for dancers of every ability. It is our foundation of strong technical skills that has allowed BSDA to enjoy great success at regional and national dance competitions. We are currently celebrating our 36th year teaching dance!!

The package I signed up for is approaching its end and I am in awe of the progress my husband and I…read morehave made thanks to Tetiana and Sergio. The dance parties, classes, heck the emotional support and therapy provided by Fred Astaire has been life changing. I can't wait to see what is next for my journey with dance. If you have been considering trying it out this is your sign that you should take the leap.

The staff here are literally the best. I really enjoy their approach to dance lessons. We have only…read moretapped into our first free lesson and are currently deliberating between 4 or more lesson dance pack. The space is clean and bright. The package options are reasonable and provide a cool way to track your progress. I'm definitely interested to book some lessons.

Unfortunately, this studio is not a place that I would highly recommend…read more The owner and management is not a professional and that was my biggest turn off. The inside of the studio is spacious, most often it was cleaned once a week which for the amount of traffic that goes through there-that is not enough. The billing can be tricky and very hard to follow. Communication to the 'teams' isn't great, I learned that from a seasoned mom and boy was she right. A lot of turnover for the instructors which says a lot about the management of the studio. Parking can be very tight and so full at times you can't get a spot.

You know when something comes into your life at the right moment? Like the stars just align and…read more-BAM- there it is? Well, that's sort of how I see Shevon. This man is top notch - he knows his shit, he has a great vision, and he has an even better personality. Seriously, I'm a whiner about just about everything (okay, some of it is self-deprecation and hilarious) and he deals with it with total grace. He will kick your ass in the best of ways. Things will hurt or be tender the next day or two. He'll even advise you in proper jump-rope technique lest you find yourself a little too crippled the next day - and in my case high heels are off the table for a bit. I think he's amused at this recent life development, but I could be wrong. He will also mess with your head. In addition to laughing my ass off, some things that have either come out of my mouth or run through my head - "Did I just do that? Wait, he wants me to do what? I'm sure as hell I can't do that... FACK! How did I just end up here? Oh dammit... Shit this is going to suck tomorrow." He's well-trained and speaks a few different dance languages; this is how I first found the Sultan. I remember catching a couple of his performances in the area and he had this insane energy that Tampa is missing. If you want to talk about someone being magnetic, this is a prime example. I showed up to his in-home studio a couple weeks ago with no real plan other than he was going to school me in something new. I was minus my iPod and he asked if I had any music. I pulled a lone CD out and he ran with it. "Have you done any partnered dance?"... Nope! On day one I found myself getting spun around and dipped (among other things), all while making really ridiculous noises because I'm a control freak and it... Freaked me out. But hey, new experiences are good for me, right? So, I found myself dabbling in "intro to ballroom" for the first time, revisiting some flamenco, and falling back into the belly dance thing (though I haven't left it since I first started back in '07). If you want to talk about getting into fusion done correctly though... This is it. No one else in the area does what Shev does. So, what else is there to say? This isn't a weekly drop-in class; you don't just show up. If you want a regular day/time slot I'm sure he would work with you; a friend and I have started assigning Sundays to dance/ass-kicking "church" with Father Shevon (yeah, it's a terrible joke, I know). I can't help but love this new ritual in my life because it's so refreshing to work with someone so professional who can also put you at ease. Tampa doesn't know what kind of gem it has because frankly, he's too good for it.

Anyone within traveling distance (reasonably, that is) and wants a truly energizing fitness dance…read moreworkout needs to check into this TRUE JEM of a studio! Don't be fooled by the basic décor; the magic is in people. From the first step in the door I was really comfortable, but meeting Shevon James was a completely uplifting experience! As the founder, he is a truly gifted and enthusiastic instructor whose charming and welcoming nature instantly puts everyone at ease. I am taking his Brancee Belly and Boot Camp sessions and the energy in the room is always electrifying. Mainly because his bright face, great music and demand for form bonds everyone in the room into one ball of energy, sweat and great endorphins! This is definitely not a Barbie Doll venue. Women of all shapes, sizes and ages are representing and having a blast! Speaking for the 'over fifty' set...I have never looked forward to any fitness class but really feel down when I have to miss a class. Never had such a great time getting in shape! Shevon , is a consummate professional and he and his staff have put together programs from Ball Room to Latin, Hip Hop and everything in between with classes for kids, teens and 'the rest of us'. If you ever considered a dance fitness studio; do yourself a favor and check this one out!
