My daughters took me to see the nutcracker at Old National Centre…read more This is my first time seeing the Indianapolis Ballet Company. My understanding is the company was founded in 2018. The dancers were good, very professional, choreography ok. My FAVORITE dancer was by far Yoshiko Kamikusa who is a founding artist. As a former dancer myself, I was totally captivated by Yoshiko. She was strong, graceful, flawless, and absolutely stunning. I enjoyed the evening and applaud the Ballet company. I hope to see them again.

My daughter had her very first class of any kind in the creative dance class. Everyone of the staff…read morewas very friendly. However, drop off was less than organized or structured. It seems as if two groups were starting within 30 min of each, and so extra littles were just hanging out for 30 min. People are coming and going. Door remained locked and parents didn't go past front entry, but for this newbie mom, I had to wait in the hallway for 5 min just to make sure my daughter didn't come out crying from too much going on....after a year of the class, even experiencing a questionable photoshoot day, I still feel they have a good dance school and great way to stay involved and aware of the professional ballet dance community. If we still lived in the city, my daughters would all go, but sadly, we are a good 30 min drive away. Will still venture downtown to see a production. (...note this was a review written in 2021-2022)

GREAT YMCA location in Downtown Indianapolis. I dropped in here mostly to swim since IUPUI had a…read moreswim meet in their pool, but I stayed to work out too. The pool is just 25 yards, but otherwise good and not busy. The locker room is very nice and clean, one of the better gym locker rooms I've ever been in. The upstairs workout area is also good, with basically everything you could need, including squat racks, cable machines, free weights, etc. They are missing a ski erg, I would like to see one of those. Staff was super friendly. Overall, a great gym in Downtown Indy!

DON'T DO IT! If you sign up for any kind of class or training get the terms of the class and fee…read moreupfront and in writing. I had to back out of personal training for medical reasons only to discover they don't give refunds for unused prepaid sessions, and that the sessions quickly expire. The front desk people don't know a damn thing about terms of training or class contracts. My advise: BEWARE! They say they are Christians, but all I see right now is lots of deceptive capitalism cheating a retiree from money that needs to be returned. DON'T TRUST THEM WITH MONEY OF ANY KIND OR AMOUNT! In my judgement, it's a deceptive charity.

Oh the Rivy! I have such fond memories of coming here growing up. Great location , large pool,…read morecomfortable environment. I came here with a friend recently for a swim in the pool. And it's the same great big pool I remember from when I was a kid. The reception area looks the same as it did back when I was a kid. I was a bit disappointed to see the bottom of the pool was exposed concrete with many cracks having been repaired with white epoxy seams. There was crumbled bits of concrete on the floor of the pool that I accidentally stepped on and felt like I was walking on rocks (OUCH). The locker room was okay, somewhat maze like, and could use a face lift. I went to take a shower after my dip and it ran cold to scalding with no opportunity for adjustment in between. Such a great location and facility. With so many possibilities.

I did Pom and cheer in jr high and high school, but that was nothing compared to what these performers put on the field. This venue is perfect for this event. The stadium is comfortable and accommodating. We attended the entire show Friday which was amazing. Saturday we attended the SoundSport show. It was so much fun. There were a lot of fantastic groups performing. I especially liked the Calgary Stampede and the Free Players special needs group. Phenomenal!!! Saturday night were the final 12 drum corps performing for placement. I loved loved loved it!!! The performances were amazing! I can't wait to come back next year! This event is a must for anyone interested in something entertaining providing music, drums, brass, dance choreography, marching, costumes, props and so much more! It's such a fun and exciting show.

That stomps on the heart and soul of the millions that had marched in a D&B corps and did it for fun with out auditions and most people not from where the corps is based.
