He is patient, knowledgeable, and has a way of breaking down even the most complex moves into something approachable and fun. The group classes are awesome--there's such an encouraging atmosphere, and it's a great place to meet others who share a love for dance. Beyond the classes, the socials are a highlight! They provide the perfect opportunity to practice what we've learned while enjoying great music and a welcoming vibe.

We have made new friends and I can't wait to take lessons there. I saw some of the students who were so graceful after less than a year of lessons. They are fantastic teachers who love their gift of dance and people. A great 33 year family business. I highly recommend this terrific place in Sarasota.

I saw that the studio was close to my house and realized I could fit a lesson in during my lunch hour so decided to give EVO a try. From the very first day I knew that this was the studio for me! The studio was clean and modern and the talented owner Vidas immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. We discussed my goals, experience level, and the types of dances I wanted to incorporate into my workout regimen. I wasn't prepared for how much I would enjoy these lessons! Even though I leave the studio covered in sweat, I have more energy and always a smile on my face. Vidas has a seemingly limitless amount of patience and great sense of humor as we laugh our way through me trying my best to master each step and has just made the whole experience better than I could have ever expected. His wife Elina is also a gem and together they have created a studio where all feel at ease, psychologically safe (not afraid to fail), and supported. Cannot recommend this studio highly enough! Definitely give them a try!

Items that come to mind are: purchase new flag lines, refinish the pool deck, replace doors in the pump building, install a true water cooling system for the hot summer months, purchase new time clocks, and add new aquatic activities. Note that the pool water is very clean and the lifeguards are attentive. The Y will be competing for members with the county aquatics center opening this fall in Lakewood Ranch. I suggest the Y become more proactive before people cancel their memberships.
