The teachers provide excellent training in a caring and supportive environment. They encourage dancers to challenge themselves, yet take care to ensure each child grows and develops skills at their own speed. Prior to finding MHDS, my daughter had taken classes at four other local studios. By comparison, MHDS is the most professionally run. I especially appreciated the clear communication to parents!

I'm just not feeling the love for this studio…read more Classes are crowded Instruction is pretty hit or miss - Jazz is inappropriately difficult yet ballet is taught at a preschool level Shoes must be purchased through the studio - with no concern as to fitting the dancers foot. If the shoe doesn't fit, dance through the pain and risk injury They say that all dancers need to have the same foot wear for consistency. Yet there is no dress code. Where is the consistency there? They require different color tights for different classes, yet do not schedule any time between classes for changing. Changing tights or shoes Tights must also be purchased from the studio. Again no regards for the dancers comfort. This studio seems to be set up more as a money making venture for the studio owners at the expense of the well being of the dancers. The well being of your dancers should be your first priority.

(If you want to tap dance to I'm a little teapot, go somewhere else.). The classes are mixed level, yet due to the smaller size, there is still quite a bit of individual instruction. The dancers support each other and value individual strengths. The studio is affiliated with Dance Prism, the local Professional Ballet Company, giving dancers of all ability the opportunity to perform professionally.

I come here mainly on weekends, when my home Y closes way the heck too early (4pm vs 7pm here)…read more I'd say that about 70-80% of their equipment is fine. Lots of free weights and strength machines. The highlight is the huge, high-ceilinged (30-40ft?) functional fitness space that features a turf area, a sled, kettlebells, plyo boxes, plyo smash balls, a do-it-all calisthenics multi-station that includes weighted pulleys, dip and pullup and monkey bars, a free hanging real boxing bag (nice angled uppercut bag that's just the right weight to make you "dance" to avoid the swing back, yet forgiving enough that you can punch it without gloves without risking a broken wrist or bruised knuckles), a pair of Assault bikes and treadmills, a Concept rower, some meh Schwinn stationary bikes (more on that later), and two full squat cages with plenty of plates and barbells. So, what about the other 20-30%, you ask? Well, their cardio machines range from so-so to unusably lousy. All the treadmills are Precor, which are a clear step down from the Life Fitness TMs most Ys have: smaller uglier fuzzy screens with spotty internet connection that can freeze up in the middle of a workout, noisier and less stable platform. The stationary bikes are a mix of Precor (typical mediocre gym bike with crap ergonomics where you feel like you're on a creaky toy bike pedaling against some barbaric pad not magnetic resistance) and Espresso (video-gaming type bike clearly designed to seduce ADD teenagers or lazy af adults) and the horrible Schwinn bikes (just as bad as most home exercise bikes, you can understand why people mostly use them as clothes hangers). Please please please can you guys get at least a few KEISER bikes? We know you can have decent taste in cardio machines because you kept your CONCEPT rowers instead of choosing some oversized gym-brand rowers which look impressive but have similarly lousy ergonomics. Oh and they have non-mechanical Assault brand treadmills which nobody uses because they are brutal on the knees, too narrow and unstable. I don't know who was in charge of choosing the cardio equipment, but that person needs to be put to work cleaning the bathrooms or something more appropriate! The other major gripe I have is their sauna --- it's spacious and new and pretty, but who in the hell decided to have only ONE row of seating? Completely idiotic, folks: did you not pass seventh grade Life Science, where they teach you that heat RISES, and that's why all real saunas have TWO levels of seating, with the 2nd one being a good 4-5 feet off the ground so that you get the full benefit of the heat in the room? Here you have to STAND on the damned low benches if you want to get a decent sweat in ... the sauna thermometer reads 170F but if you're sitting down you'd be lucky to get 140-150F, which is useless. (The sauna of the Melrose YMCA has the same idiotic mistake.) So, while I'm grateful that this Y offers me decent hours to work out on weekends making the long drive out there worthwhile, their cardio machines selection and sauna design really really need a rethink.
