My daughter had a really bad experience with this dance studio. We were coming from another dance…read morestudio and the instruction was not at the level we were used to. One of the teachers lost her temper and scolded my daughter when her hair came out of her hair band. When my daughter tried to explain, she was told she was being disrespectful and forced to apologize in front of the entire class. My daughter was humiliated. After three weeks, she was so discouraged that she refused to go back. Also, be careful about their refund policy, I cancelled classes on September 25th, but they still billed me for October. When I complained, they refused to give a refund. I ended up paying over $600 for three weeks of classes. It was a really bad experience.

In addition, this particular location provides great group lessons, a lot of spirit, a fantastic array of instructors, a beautiful dance floor... Social dances, and a fantastic supportive dance community. Forever, grateful to my wonderful instructors: Dima, Daniel, and Alina D. You taught me everything I didn't know I needed to know. It's a huge challenge... Much harder than I ever thought... Humbling but exhilarating at the same time.

Of course they spoke to us in detail about their pricing and membership offers, but the lesson was also very helpful. In one half hour, we learned the first basic step of 3 dances! Our teacher Vlad was SUPER encouraging and kind, and made us feel very welcome. The studio is clean, bright, and everyone looks like they are having so much fun. We'll be back soon for our second lesson :)

I highly recommend this body positive and super fun pole studio. Butter & Filth is incredible and…read moreprobably one of my favorite pole studios I've ever gone to. I feel like there are different types of pole. Some emphasize the workout, others focus on the confidence and dance aspects. I prefer the latter, but Butter & Filth does an amazing job at incorporating all the elements. It feels like a fully balanced space. I have taken a few B&F infusion classes. You are required to start with these before you can sign up for their other classes. It's a three class beginner series. They have two studios now, which are about 5 minutes driving from each other. The class mentions which location it'll take place at. If you're interested in joining this studio, you'll want to sign up for their newsletter to get notified when the registration for B&F infusion is open to signup for (usually at the beginning of the month). It seems like you're required to take it twice before moving on to their normal classes. Do not be discouraged by the pricing here. It's a local business with incredible teachers and a wonderful vibe. You don't only learn a lot, but it feels like an investment in self love. I know that sounds cheesy, but I usually leave classes there feeling inspired and really proud or good about myself. It's an amazing community and I'm excited to continue my journey with them.

I came early, went to the wrong side of the mall and had to run to class. I ended up being two minutes late, the door was locked, and they had a sign blocking the door as well. I stood there for a second waiting to get in, but then someone shooed me away!! This was last week. One other time I booked, they canceled class the night before, and now when I want to actually go they wouldn't let me in? Huge disappointment. I'm a regular class passer and have NEVER been somewhere where there isn't a five minute grace period. And to lock people out?! I really hope they fix some things because this is isn't normal. Surely there are lots of people who have trouble finding this spot. It's in a MALL. Please do better

They truly care about the student and will foster their love of dance no matter what. I have friends at other studios that are frustrated with the lack of communication and quality of training they are receiving there but I have always been so impressed with Marianne Kelley's attention to detail and organization. The studio is bright and welcoming as are all of the instructors and students. You feel supported and valued as a dancer. The variety of classes offered are second to none. The atmosphere in the studio is so positive. In a world where negativity is constantly thrown at us and our children I am so grateful to have somewhere to take my kids where they have a sense of belonging. I HIGHLY recommend Marianne Kelley's School of Dance!

FYI, this is my first time doing Hot Yoga, my second time taking a yoga class in about 6 years so I…read morepretty much don't know anything about yoga besides what I see on tv. I need to explain my physical background/active (not so active..) lifestyle for those people who are considering doing this for the first time. I haven't gone to gym in about 3 months prior to Bikryam, and I occasionally ride my bike casually around my neighborhood for about 3 or 4 miles. My body type is slim, but that doesn't mean I am fit. My endurance isn't great and I am still working on alot of workouts to improve my strength. Hot Yoga: about 30 people in one room set at 105 degrees. Not sure how the humidity is but they did have dehumidifiers in there. Class is 90 mins long and is considered to be an intermediate level of yoga. There are two sets of each "pose" and with barely no breaks between them besides a quick breather. Instructor states if you don't think your body can do it, don't push yourself too much and just sit down or relax. I didn't take that advice and after about 20 mins in I starting feeling really nauseous and lightheaded. I had to leave the room and stay out there for about 30 mins before i came back in.. I felt like I was going to faint. It wasn't that my body physically couldn't do it though. I came back in and just lied on the floor for the rest of the time. The instructor, Rachel, is extremely friendly and understanding. She knows quite a few people are new to this and knows that we're at different levels when it comes to yoga. Everybody was just so friendly there and a few of patrons also told me to keep trying and come back next time. 14 bucks for the first hot yoga session for students which I thought was a pretty good deal. If this is your first time, they give you a free yoga mat/towel to use. You NEED to bring a water bottle but they do have their own filtered water there. You pay after the session is completed. They also have one mens shower and two womens shower I believe if you feel inclined to rinse after. P.S.- i think I would go again if they had a beginner level type of yoga and if it was only for an hour.

I was looking to get back into the swing of things after a decade-long hiatus since I quit dancing competitively, but wasn't sure where to start. Knowing how difficult it can be to find studios that offer dance classes for adults in most cities, I feel lucky that I did. I've never been a huge fan of traditional fitness classes and I've tried nearly all of them...Pilates, kickboxing, CrossFit, you name it. But I'm also not too keen on working out by myself at the gym because let's face it--it gets pretty boring. I wanted the social aspect of going to classes and meeting people who would hold me accountable to show up---and I knew my only shot at staying in shape was finding something fun that didn't feel like work. I used to find myself coming up with excuses to get out of other fitness classes that I had taken in the past but going to Turn is something I actually look forward to. It's become much more than a fitness routine for me--it's a community.

Wonderful gym, wonderful staff…read more I've been working with Ashlee for almost a year. I came in with a history of awful knee injuries, multiple surgeries followed by iffy recoveries, and little to no faith in the muscles in my lower body. In less than 12 months I've gone from constantly worrying about those shaky knees to feeling real confidence in my movements. Doubling my PRs has just been an added perk... Ashlee has been awesome in creating tailored programs for me and what I need. Just as important, she fosters a welcoming and encouraging environment in the group training sessions that make them more enjoyable than they have any business being. If you want help with nutrition, she's got you. If you want suggestions for good obscure metal bands, she's got you there too. When you look at my Yelp history, you'll notice that I've only ever reviewed moving companies. Couldn't be happier that my first non-moving related assessment is ReDefineRVA and Ashlee.
