The space is beautiful and the staff is friendly and personable. The owners get to know you by first name which puts such a nice personal touch on a workout place. My favorite is 'kickin it cardio' at 6:15 am with Kate. She truly gets you sweating before seven and you just feel great and toned. I also like barre fit on Monday night, it is a great change to my typical workouts. I highly recommend checking out this place!

Literally the only part of my kids' childhoods I wanted to fast forward through was their time at…read moreDovetail over the last year, previously in classes there it was better tho!. The teacher had the kids sign a contract about commitment, teamwork etc (cool!) my daughter took it super seriously bc she's like that. The teacher himself then proceeded to come late or not show up at class at all (no notice or group txt would even come from dovetail after the fact- we just show up and it would empty the majority of times. After months of this they gave us a $100 credit and 1 email about it. They transitioned it to a new teacher who was really dependable. They told my daughter they "thought we would place in top 10, like 6 or Better." My daughter is type of person who latches onto that so when they didn't place, she felt it more Than needed. It was clear her time at park district (McFeteridge) brought out waaaaay more talent and she grew waaaay more there and with very strong routines. Great artistry from Dovetail tho. Teachers were nice. They txtd us during paid sessions they wanted to walk the kids to 7-11 instead of class time. The other families were nice and we vibed with them- not competitive etc. did pizza with them couple times over year. my wife took a class at dovetail for adults and loved it. My daughter had classes (not completion) that went well and she really loved all the teachers.

Angela, one of the instructors was patient, very nice, encouraging and knowledgable. She broke everything down in such a basic way that I could understand. Kept the class moving along and was mindful of everyone taking their turns. This is by far an excellent space to take class for aerial art. The studio is clean, beautiful and private. I will continue to be a student here and recommend to give it a try. No matter what level. I am a beginner and look forward to continuing. Adults and kids! Great place!

I found Studio M while I was looking for a new exercise routine for the spring and summer. I love…read morethe convenience of parking and studio location, but more than that, I love the adult beginner ballet class. Dina, the owner and instructor, gives us a good workout and challenges us each class but never makes us feel inadequate or like we shouldn't be there (especially nice since we are adults in a beginning ballet class, most with absolutely no experience). She does a great job of explaining the steps and making a fun atmosphere. Each week brings a review and a new lesson and the class is definitely becoming addictive. I also get to see the end of her kids' classes and love seeing the smiling faces of the little ballerinas leave each week. Studio M offers great classes for kids and adults and I can't wait to bring more friends to class

For more than a decade, from a toddler to my tweens, I studied dance. I think my mother hoped it…read morewould make me more graceful and less klutzy - fail. Epic. Fail. Even though I loved dance and had no fear of performing, the one that always made me feel uncoordinated and self-conscious was any sort of unscripted booty shaking in front of others. It's still rare that you'll finding me dancing with reckless abandon outside the confines of my home unless there are serious amounts of booze involved. Until now that is. I entered the DDPP studio full of excitement and trepidation, still unsure if I could really let loose in a room full of strangers without some liquid courage. All my nervousness quickly melted away as I saw women of all ages, colors, shapes and sizes filter into the studio; the veterans full of excitement and positive energy. I paid my $5 and figured that worst that could happen was that I'd give a room full of mostly strangers some comic relief. As has been mentioned before, the studio is nothing fancy, but for this it really doesn't need to be. There are a few mirrors, some rope lights along the floor and a light machine. The music is courtesy of guest DJ's, not pros, but fellow DDPP'ers; you only need to attend once before becoming one. There aren't many rules to DDPP, but the two key ones are no judgment of yourself or others and no talking (singing along is ok). I'm still working on that first rule; I was truly wowed by the other ladies in the room and silently quite critical of my own, but the dimmed lights helped me work on my inhibition. A warm up and cool down song sandwich the non-stop dance party. You can move with as much intensity as you like, but it's hard not to get caught up in the infectious energy in the room. As far as apparel is concerned, anything goes. However, I would strongly suggest layers and breathable fabrics, leave the denim at home but defo bring a water bottle and maybe even a hand towel. I consider myself to be in decent shape and it wasn't long before I was crazy sweaty and a touch winded. If you're looking to work out some emotions, burn some calories or simply get your grove on, you've got to try it - it probably will cost you less than some fancy Starbucks drink. I may never convince myself that I look any better than Elaine Benes on the dance floor, but I'm working on not caring.
