    Hollywood Ballroom Dance Center - Bachata lesson

    I came here for a salsa night which included an option of 3 classes, Bachata, Salsa on 1, or Salsa…read moreon 2. I'm only familiar with Salsa on 1, so I got out of my comfort level and tried on 2. It felt soooooo weird, but I'm glad I tried!! Then they opened the floor for social dancing and it got surprisingly crowded. This is a very safe environment. Security checks your bag. I came solo and felt perfectly fine. Many people were solo, guys and female. So, it's a cool vibe. Of course there were couples and groups of people that came together. But in the dance community, it's fine to go solo. People are respectful and really respect dancing. I will say, this is the sort of environment where people are taking classes and coming here to practice, along with plenty of instructors dancing. So there's a lot of flair and showmanship. I was thinking, am I at Dancing With The Stars or what, lol!! Lot's and lot's of turns and endless turn patterns. Less musicality. That's what makes it not my style so much, but a lot of fun for others. The classes were about 1 hour each, organized, and gave you a taste of the different styles. The instructors told everyone where they teach so you could take more classes. As with anyplace, some leads are fantastic and easy to follow, and other leads are still learning and practicing how to lead, so it can be bumpy dancing with them. Especially if its a first time dancing together. Other leads were really smooth and easy and fun to follow. There's a full bar selling beer, wine, and mixed drinks. If you bring a water bottle, it must be empty and they will fill it with water for you. Or you can purchase bottled water. I had a pretty good time and danced several songs and learned Salsa on 2. So it was a solid experience for me. Highly recommend.

I was so impressed, they had a great turn out and the instructors did a great job teaching the basics, but have classes for all different levels! Definitely will be back to try all their classes. They also have salsa, jazzercise, ballroom, etc too. Make sure to bring cash if you want to come, usually they do not take credit cards. Also they have a bar also only takes cash and usually provides snacks and drinks.

    I had a very unpleasant experience at this LA Fitness location recently that left me feeling…read moreembarrassed and singled out by the manager Stacy. I drove about 30 minutes out of my way that morning to attend a yoga class with Kasturi, which was wonderful and absolutely the highlight of my visit. Unfortunately, the experience I had at the front desk before the class was the opposite. I brought my sister with me as a guest as I've done since 2022. My membership allows me to bring guests, and I've done so before without any issues. However, the manager, Stacy, immediately accused us of sharing a membership. This was not true and was honestly embarrassing to be accused of in front of other people. My sister was asked to sign a liability waiver, which is completely understandable. She simply asked to read the waiver before signing it. When she asked if it could be printed so she could read it more easily, she was told that wasn't possible. When I tried to take a photo of the waiver on the screen so we could read it, I was accused of taking a picture of the staff and was told I needed to leave the gym. I've never had an experience like this at any other location since starting my membership years ago. At one point the manager became visibly angry, slamming items on the desk and aggressively pushing the check-in machine toward my sister. She was extremely aggressive and rude. I was also asked to prove that I hadn't taken photos of staff by showing my phone, which I did. Nothing inappropriate was found. The entire interaction was loud, confrontational, and very uncomfortable. I've been a member of LA Fitness for years and have never experienced anything like this at any location. I've never encountered such a lack of professionalism and display of aggression from a staff member before. Again, the yoga class with Kasturi was great and worth the drive, but the front desk interaction made the start of the visit extremely stressful and embarrassing. I hope management looks into how situations like this are handled in the future, because members shouldn't feel accused or publicly embarrassed when simply trying to check in with a guest.

From the moment we approached the desk, we were immediately accused of sharing a membership, which was completely untrue. The interaction felt confrontational right away. When I was asked to sign a guest waiver, I simply requested to read it before signing and asked if it could be printed. I was told it could not be printed. When we tried to take a photo of the waiver on the screen so I could read it more carefully, Stacy accused us of taking a picture of her and escalated the situation further. She demanded to see my sister's phone, including her recently deleted photos, despite there being no photo of her taken. I tried to assure her that "No one wanted a picture of her on their phone" but she still insisted to see my sister's personal photo archives. Once my sister showed Stacy her photo long, both recent and deleted that's was when she was finally able to move past accusing my sister of taking her photo. The exchange became loud and tense, and items were being slammed on the desk during the interaction. It felt hostile and unnecessarily aggressive for what should have been a routine guest check-in. The yoga class itself was wonderful and worth the drive, but the front desk experience was embarrassing and uncomfortable enough that it overshadowed the visit. I hope management takes steps to ensure guests and members are treated with professionalism and respect.

The following is a review of my ticket purchase not the Olney' Theater. Hoping this serves as a warning to all. This review is ONLY about buying tickets!!! Somehow when purchasing tickets for a recent show, I ended up on a site GoTickets. Bought the tickets for 2 and only when I printed them did I see that I had paid $244 for tickets that the face value is $54/ea or $108 total . So I spent $136 more then priced!!! Talk about feeling like an idiot! So .... I have no problem with companies making money. But this is ridiculous!! BTW the performance was not sold out we were the only people in our section. So Buyer Beware. The theater is lovely.

    If you're not making plans to attend the sterling production of A Gentlemen's Guide to Love and…read moreMurder, you're missing the boat. The hilarious plot, the voices, the costuming, the orchestra--perfection!! I may have to go back for another round, this time with family members. I also highly recommend Carla Hall's Please Underestimate Me. I saw it twice, once with my husband and once with my daughter and would happily go back a third time. Lots of laughs interspersed with emotional vulnerability. The show has been extended for two weeks, which should tell you all you need to know.

He hits the trifecta of incorporating magic, sugar and pyrotechnics (talking about a match) that captivates the youngsters from the moment his 90min show starts. He adapts his acting to ensure everyone is included (even late comers) and really makes the birthday person feel extra-recognized and special. Captain - my son is still stoked from your show and attendees are sharing how much they enjoyed it as well as the fact that their kids are also still singing your praises. Congratulations on a job well done and continued best wishes with your business & endeavors. Highly recommended!

He has such a kind soul and was great with the kids! Everyone at our party was absolutely amazed by him. We cannot express enough how magical he made the day for our 5 year old girl. We will 100percent ask him back in two years for our son's 5th birthday! Our daughter had the most amazing day! And all the parents got to relax and enjoy the show! Don't even hesitate or compare him to other magicians. He is one of a kind and absolutely worth it!
