I can find a video on Instagram or Pinterest and bring it to the staff and they will help me master it! The environment is positive and body image friendly. The owner really wanted it to be a safe space and this is what this is for me. My failures are not even addressed! Someone will come up to you and help you get into the position you were trying to do on your own so we can at least look at it and know what it feels to accomplish this move. I'm so proud of the owner and happy that she has creates this safe space in Greenville. They even offer other dance styles such as salsa, bachata, hip hop. EVERY DAY!! She has created hours that cater to those that work night shift and hours that cater to those that work early and need to be in bed by 7 like myself. I'm hooked now and try to attend as much as I physically can!

BDA has a motto of kindness first and it really shows in my childs smile and the friends she has made. The moms are really encouraging of each other and their dancers. Miss Jasmine and her team has shown nothing but kindness and compassion for the dancers and the children's dreams of creativity and expression through dance. It really feels like and extended family.

My two year old daughter and I attended the Mommy & Me class and it was super fun. Compared to other Mommy & Me classes in the area, it is certainly the most affordable, only $40/6 week session. They offer dance classes for all ages. Everyone there was very nice, especially the owner, Stephanie. They are offering various summer camps and they work with the Manor Schools to provide classes during the school year. Check them out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/centerstagedancevb

She then wanted to try hip hop so I put her in the summer camp for hip hop and she loved it. Well when the time came to re register her for fall classes, I took too long and the classes filled up. I wrote the staff explaining how much she really wanted to be in hip hop. Next thing I know I got an email confirming the hip hop registration. I love how involved the staff is with each and every student. I love that anytime I go in to pick my daughter up from class, it's nothing but positive enegery. I love this company and I dont ever see us leaving.

This place is a nightmare- their competition dancers are fine, but the rest they couldn't care less…read moreabout. Their tap classes are a joke, utilizing the same moves from Kinderdance to advanced. Their gymnastics classes don't even get to flips, just cartwheels, and their jazz is average. Ballet is good. Her business is kept afloat by a few key families which you'll notice during their end of year recital because they are in 6-8 dances a piece. There is a heavy focus on costumes, props, and wandering around the stage rather than ACTUAL dancing, and their recital gets very boring very quickly. But that's just the icing on the cake- don't plan to use your card to pay for anything besides the classes- almost everything is cash only. Their teachers play favorites, and those that didn't departed abruptly in the middle of the year surrounding a few rumors that were less than kind about the owner. Regardless as to the truth of said rumors, it is quite obvious that there is a LOT of drama going on and it is significantly, (and detrimentally), affecting her business. There are several costs at various times that crop up out of nowhere- can't be in the parade unless the OUTER layer says Dance Kraze, have to wear the right colored tights (and if your class has two outfits, it's different colors for each), super expensive & poor quality pictures, etc etc. The end of the season is BRUTAL in unexpected expenses, so just be prepared. It's also run through her friends and family, which probably has a lot to do with the expense. With perhaps one exception (Thank you Jason), her event staff is indescribably rude and disrespectful, in addition to being inconsistent. Gods forbid you say anything about it, because they will get in your face and try to power play you to get you to cower in submission and retreat. Or ignore you. Or try to walk through you. Not a place I will ever be returning to. And yet the biggest problem is the fact that the recital was held in a school with LIVE CAMERAS and there were girls CHANGING IN THE HALLWAYS WHO WERE NOT TOLD, DESPITE the fact that the dance studio was informed. Well beyond acceptable to me. We will most DEFINITELY not be returning next year.

Our cultural life in the Hampton Roads community has been enriched by VSO for more than 80 years. I feel extremely blessed to personally know internationally renown Music Director JoAnn Falletta. (She lives in our 'hood!) Just returned home from opening night at Norfolk's Chrysler Hall of Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto, and it was superb! VSO annually performs in venues all over Hampton Roads, including genres such as Classical, Pops, and Jazz. In fact, just this week, VSO provided a small Jazz ensemble at the local Pagoda restaurant as one of their many Outreach concerts. VSO also provides orchestral support of the acclaimed Virginia Opera, Virginia Arts Festival, and Virginia Ballet. Last year, we enjoyed the Eroica Trio with VSO at the Sandler Center in Virginia Beach, another wonderful venue.
