My daughter is just wrapping up 5 years at Miss Heejin's Dance Studio!…read moreShe was on the competition dance team for 4 out of those 5 years. Although my daughter will now be dancing for her high school dance team we will always have a special place in our heart for Miss Heejins! My daughter learned so much from dance technique to stage presence and everything in between! The confidence that she built as a dancer has been truly remarkable to watch. There are many dance studios in our area to consider but what I can tell you is that Miss Heejins is a notch above the rest. When at competitions, my husband and I would always be in awe of how sharp and incredible the Miss Heejin dances were. Sure other studios are good but theres a difference. We would call it the Miss Heejin snap! Clean, sharp, precise, and just pure talent! When my daughter faced challenges, Miss Heejin showed up! She went above and beyond to be there for her and help in ways that we will always be grateful for. Miss Heejin, Miss Laura, and all the staff at Miss Heejins, thank you and we will miss you all!

A hidden gem in Wayland. Located on Rt 20, in the back lot, adjacent to Wayland Power Equipment…read more This is a small studio, focused on ballet. They teach high level ballet here. (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.
