Instructions at the Mason studio are helpful and correcting is always done in a positive way. Their retail is open for anyone and they offer a cute selection of good workout gear. Most studios offer a first class free so you can try it out. They have a more cardio centric option, a strength option plus classic barre. This gives you the ability to vary your workout. Going to barre 3-4 times a week had me in the best shape of my life. Body weight, isometric and challenging but also able to modify for your ability and any health challenges. And don't let the name fool you, there are dedicated male clients too and barre is a great strength, flexibility workout. And one of my favorite things about Pure Barre is that everyone concentrates on themselves so you never feel like people are looking at or judging you.

I…read morestarted off with the complimentary Foundations class to be sure that this was something that was a good fit - and I signed up for the once a week membership immediately after! As a mid-size woman, I am extremely comfortable in these classes. I was a little nervous going in that I would be on the bigger side there and expected 'ballerina bodies' being the predominant figure there - but there are women of all shapes, sizes, and ages! This is truly a welcoming environment for all and the instructors and fellow members are all very kind. The workout is definitely on the intense side but there are lots of modifications that you can do to make it easier or harder depending on your fitness level. I am already seeing a difference in my ability to keep going in the classes and I feel great after the class! There is great music and such a great vibe and if you're looking for a great workout studio - look no further than Pure Barre Mason!

We go in to her class and she whispers "these aren't the kids in my class..." and i go why they are dressed exactly the same way you are with a confused look. then the teacher comes out and says "oh this is a different class, same costume" you might think i'm overreacting but wait until what comes next. The kids with the SAME COSTUME also have the SAME SONG. what is this? this is more confusing than the narnia books. Who allowed abs approved the idea of similar age groups too have the same exact song and costume? Every other parent in there was just as confused as i was. I probably sound entitled, like a Karen, and like i am overreacting like i said before but this ticked me off. We got there at the same time we do every week to this class that has never been there at this time, in that studio. I have never seen those kids in that studio before so you can see my confusion on why children with the same exact costume in a different studio than ever confused me. I think this is a very inefficient way of running a dance studio. For the last time, yes i know i am probably overreacting but this enraged me and thought i should share.

A naturally shy girl, her experience at Showbiz has helped her find her inner confidence and provides her with an artistic outlet that I know will serve her well in life regardless of what path she chooses. Kristie Eckman's artistic talent, teaching acumen, infectious good humor, and amazing patience have helped mold her students into confident, award winning dancers. The studio itself is easy to find in t he Landen shopping center. The classroom is a large setup with plenty of room for students to work on routines as a group or spread out and express themselves during solos. A comfortable lounge area up front for the parents to relax while the little ones learn. The cost per class is very affordable and the diversity of available styles such as tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop let you or your child experiment from year to year to find what speaks to you. Showbiz also boasts one of the most award winning competitive dance teams in the area. In 2010, our teams traveled the region scoring amongst the top in virtually every category entered, including one remarkable performance by a dancer who managed to take 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd in the same category (yes, three different solos). The team's performance at Nationals in New Jersey this past summer was equally fulfilling, further cementing in my mind that there is no other studio in the Tri-State I would take my daughter.
