When my daughter walks in, I can see that Christine and the instructor know and take a personal interest in my daughter. I've observed the patience, kindness, and care they've shown to all students in class, which is honestly more important to me than anything else. ReVel has done a wonderful job with maintaining health safety standards and is incredibly accommodating when a class is missed by offering a virtual recording of the class and a class credit toward the next session. They are consistent with mask protocols and from what I have seen, other families are compliant with these expectations. Our experience with the recital was the best we have ever seen--bar none. It was evident that a lot of time, effort and thought went into preparing each student. From quality costumes to great choreographies, the studio did not miss. Most importantly, Christine has truly created a culture of focus on growing skills and confidence and this really shined through in the recital. Not only in the way the dancers were encouraging one another on stage but the ways in which instructors were hands on and supportive + the audience which was incredibly attentive + enthusiastic. Creating a positive culture like this doesn't happen by accident. It comes from intention, purpose + perseverance. And I'm so proud to have my daughter be a part of something as special as that. Our first season at ReVel was so wonderful + I cannot wait to see the ways in which the studio continues to grow + evolve!

I was lucky enough to see AscenDance Project in Union Square as part of the San Francisco…read moreInternational Arts Festival and was amazed. The show opened with two acts in a cube, which were fairly comical, especially a section involving swimming gear, performed to Strauss' Blue Danube Waltz. This portion was a great insight into the group's philosophy and attitude towards the performance. The rest of the program utilized the purpose-built climbing wall, which served as one of the coolest, most original stages I've ever seen. The dancers performed several different pieces, rotating through the group. The Isabel von Rittberg's choreography flowed beautifully, and was executed perfectly. My favorite performers were von Rittberg, Ryan Gaunt, and Sadie Landram. The dancers were as poignant and graceful as they were strong and steady. The vignettes provide commentary on the rhythms which dictate our lives. Each piece communicates different emotions, feelings, and situations, from a love story to individuals scaling the same high cliff face. My favorite pieces were "My Heart grew wings beneath Desert Skies", "Levitate", and "Heart-Core". I highly recommend that you take advantage of ANY opportunity to see this group. An incredible and moving performance!

After a random chat with a stranger at Tully's Coffee shop in downtown Berkeley and dinner at Sushi…read moreKo, a group of us went over to the Ashby Stage, conveniently located next to Ashby Bart, to watch Ascendance Project's opening home season show. The Ascendance Project is a group of seven dancers who challenge their choreography on vertical walls without the use of ropes! WHAT!!! Talk about taking dance to a whole new level. You know you've got talent when you can dance on vertical walls, have in-sync coordination and hold horizontal body positions off the wall. At one time I was reminded of lizards crawling under the desert rocks. The graceful acts even had dancers performing upside down in positions I'd never thought possible. The lighting effects created dancing shadows which at times accentuated the dancers in the act. It was beyond any dance performance I've seen. Never seen a show like this? Don't worry, they have more shows to inspire you to hit the gym. And if you miss their home season performance during March 6 to the 14th, then you can consider challenging yourself in one of their classes. It might come in handy if you ever decide to go rock climbing.

Love the classes offered here! I continue to attend and can't wait for the next class.read more

What a strange experience as a non-Christian... I found this studio on Groupon and didn't do full…read moreresearch on it beforehand so that part is on me, but starting a class with a prayer and ending with gospel music stretching was.... quite an experience as a non-religious person with a Jewish upbringing! What a time. I did see after the fact that their website mentions this practice, but it doesn't exactly make it welcoming to non-religious customers. The adult tap class I tried was challenging in new ways and definitely more focused on classical tap with a hint of Irish dancing, which isn't my favorite but I know that is studio dependent. The teacher was knowledgeable but didn't really explain steps fully to the whole class, and the woman next to me was asking me questions throughout about how to break down a movement when the teacher herself kept messing it up, even though I was brand new. They have tape on the floor to mark distance but the teacher stated she didn't know how to maintain distance yet during class and many of the students were right next to one another. Only I and one other student wore a mask in a class of 8-10 people. My biggest disappointment was the lack of acknowledgement and following of the mask mandate. Aside from a couple of people I saw inside and plexiglass at the front desk, it was like entering a pre-COVID world. Staff and customers alike did not wear masks, and yet there were crowds of kids moving about the studio and adults all very close to one another, maskless and without distancing. They had only 1 sign on the front door asking people to distance. Religion will not protect you from a pandemic or a state mandate.

Wow! I'm so thankful for Lighthouse Dance! What an incredible place for my children (and hopefully…read moremyself one of these days) to learn the art of dance at. The staff is very welcoming and professional, and the facility is clean and beautiful. They even have special air filtration systems in place for the safety of their students! They go above any beyond with even having someone man the door so that we don't have to open or close it while coming in and leaving! (At least on the day we are there they do.) The foyer is never packed because they clearly communicate with their families as to how to drop off and pick up their kiddos. I am so thankful my children can have some normality during what's been a mentally challenging time. Not only children, but parents too, need to have outlets of community and lighthouse is a safe place for it. My children get excited for dance days, and I do too. Thank you Lighthouse Dance for offering a safe, professional, and encouraging place in Loveland.
