Was seeking a local gym for classes while visiting the area and came across this place not too far…read morefrom the hotel that we're staying at. So happy I did! Drop in rate is 10.00 per class. A variety of classes are offered 7 days a week but unfortunately this past Sunday's were cancelled due to some special event they had (website's schedule is up to date). To book a class is super easy; choose which class you want and it tells you how many open spots are left. You pay via credit card and receive an email confirmation. Upon arrival you just go to either of the studios where the classes are held. I booked a spin class and the instructor came up to introduce herself and asked my name and said she saw it on her roster. As for the class, it was very good and the instructor (Jill) was super nice and chatted with her a bit after. Facility is very clean and the bikes were in excellent condition. The only con is it is very hard to find as there is no signage indicating where the center is located (you see the theater upon arrival). I stopped and asked what appeared to be some city road/construction workers and one was able to give me directions. Saw the building with a huge parking lot and assumed that was it as I saw some people going in who were in workout gear and carrying gym bags. Once you initially find it you are good to go and know what/where to go.

I just received an email from Dearborn Parks and Rec regarding my gym membership. I've been a…read morefaithful member of this gym for several years. It's understandable that they need to raise the rates but it's more than a quarter higher than what it initially used to be. In addition to that they're charging a $40 nonrefundable enrollment fee. All these cost combine make it un affordable for the majority of people in the city. I can see increasing the rates but to add a $40 enrollment fee for something that takes the lady behind the desk 30 seconds to issue. Your enrollment fee is ridiculous. I will be seeking my membership elsewhere and it's such a shame because the facility itself is beautiful, although I'm also frustrated with staff that they don't enforce handwashing or wiping down the machines after use so increasing risk of staph, Mrsa, and other illnesses and disease

Fantastic instruction, particularly from Ms. Pat (the owner) and her seasoned highschool-aged…read moreassistants. Absolutely zero complaints regarding the value of lessons here. My issue, however, is with the abhorrent waiting area & lobby. With as many families and children who enter and exit the building, there is zero excuse not to have built a larger more accommodating front lobby. Kids and teens kick off their shoes and leave them EVERYWHERE while the lack of seating forces some parents to wait in the car (keep in mind, there is only curbside parking unless you leave your vehicle across the road in a CVS lot). I wish they could knock out a wall, reduce the size of the main studio or figure something out. Again, not much thought was put in to this aspect of the facility. While I stress that the actual instruction is outstanding, there is very little organization when it comes to ushering students aged 3-6 in & out of their lesson. This age requires guidance and direction, but in between classes is a free-for-all. Instructors should retrieve, line up and lead their students into whichever area they're heading to. Given the aforementioned situation with the waiting area, it'd be a huge help in reducing some of that front lobby chaos. Ms. Pat is incredibly knowledgeable, kind hearted and direct with both her staff and the families who attend. It's a great studio, especially for first timer little ones and I recommend DDA to anyone seeking options for dance. Just be aware of the surrounding factors listed above and you won't be as surprised/frustrated as I've seen some parents be.

Saw the afternoon performance of Cabaret at the Inspire Theater in Westland on April 13. What an…read moreabsolutely wonderful interpretation especially with the current world environment. Each of the actors/actresses were phenomenal in their roles. But I have to do a shout out to Daniel Watson as his "Emcee" role was nothing short of Tony worthy. It haunts me, in a good way, weeks later. What a find for that role. I feel sorry for those who were not able to get tickets due to a complete sellout because this production was first rate. So happy I discovered this theater gem a few years back. The theater is getting ready for a new production "Death Trap" which will run March 29-April 14. Do yourself a favor and be on the lookout for tickets. You won't regret it.

Rode the horse draw carriage, and there was a musician/singer on board leading us on in carols. Went through about half the houses and exhibits. This is really a fascinating place! The carousel, which was a ball. By the time we got to wear the model T ride started, we were kind of wet and getting a bit tired. The one was that horrible, but we decided to skip it. They did not have the fireworks this night because of the rain. I'm from out of town, but that how you recommend people this area to make this part of their holiday event.

But we were well dressed for it was the weather and had a great time. Entered right at 6:30 and got in line for the horse drawn carriage. The woman playing music and singing Christmas carols on the ride was delightful. We walked all around and ate yummy mini donuts. They were sold out of roasted chestnuts, which was disappointing. They were having model T rides, but the line was longer than we wanted to wait in. Went through Menlo Park and several of the Edison buildings. Enjoyed seeing the Wright brothers workshop as well as their home. All of the tour guides for lack of a better word were dressed in period clothes and we're quite knowledgeable. And they were all very, very friendly and willing to answer questions. Next year, I would consider doing one of the special dinners. Pay attention to win tickets go on sale. Some of the dinner sell out fast.

Wouldn't be surprised (in this part of town) if that was actually true. This Center for the Arts is shiny and new and is attached to the high school here.

It's a great addition to one of my favorite neighbourhoods in Detroit and just around the corner from some of the best pizza places in town. Try Primo's and BC's.

She also share personal medical information about a student in front of class mates...... My daughter started dancing her with confidence and good self esteem.
