    We've had nothing but a good experience with CCDS. Over the years, my daughter has tried 3 other…read moredance schools in the area. Each of them have their strengths & weaknesses, but FOR MY DAUGHTER, CCDS has offered the best balance of classes & quality of instruction for my daughter's interests. These are MY impressions. If you're just casually interested in having your daughter or son take a few classes, that is probably fine for a couple of the early years at CCDS. Your child can be involved as much or little as you want. However, after a couple of years, they do seem to want you to be more serious about it. They will ask that you enroll your child in more varied classes including technique classes. You can only learn so much by learning steps for a recital. At some point you need to learn technique outside of the framework of a routine. For instance, they offer "Leaps & Turns" and "Cecchetti" (google it) classes. My daughter, age 11, was asked to be on the competition company this past year. It was a tough decision to let her do it. For us, it is a huge commitment, both time-wise & financially, with 3 nights of classes each week (2 of those nights with 2 or 3 classes) & one class on Saturday. That's basically a minimum schedule for being on the company, but my daughter loves it and NEVER complains about going to class. To the contrary, she runs in the door because she can't wait to get into the studio. We do it because we want her to experience the opportunity to do something at a high level. She has no plans to become a professional dancer, but she loves the art & the process. But, unless you child is on the competition company, your commitment is not likely to be that "strenuous". I'm not sure what the comment is about Mr. CC yelling or being rude to anyone. I've never seen anything of the sort. In fact, I've seen the opposite... nothing but concern & happy faces. At a parents' meeting, he once said something to the extent of "If you've ever seen Dance Moms, that is NOT what we are. We are the opposite." and I've found that to be true. Yes, they insist on regular attendance, typical for ANY team activity. It is just basic respect for the members of your dance "team". If one person is missing, it spoils the choreography & requires others to adapt to that empty spot which slows down the learning. If you can't commit to your child being at most classes or rehearsals, then you MIGHT want to choose a different school with lower standards. I think CCDS strikes a good balance between having high standards & being aware that people have lives outside of dance. But, you will be required to show up for classes in the correct outfits, or correct make-up & costume for recitals. Also, you have responsibilities as a parent to be aware of the requirements for participating in recitals & dress rehearsals. There are deadlines (including payments) for ordering costumes. There are picture days and your child will be required to wear the right makeup, have their hair done a certain way, to have the right tights & shoes, etc. This is typical of all dance schools that we have experienced. Also, there are schedules for recitals, rehearsals & such. The information is there, you just need to open your eyes & read it. The teachers are not going to pound you with information. Newsletters, websites & Facebook will keep you informed. You, as a parent, have to be involved more than merely dropping your kid at the door & picking them up when class is over. That doesn't mean you need to be a helicopter parent (or "overbearing" per Halie J's review), but the studio is not a babysitting service either. Either you want your child to be involved in dance AND you are willing to do what you need to do to support them, or you aren't. If you don't want to put in any more effort than signing a check & dropping your kid, then you possibly don't want to enroll at CCDS. But it's not a massive effort, it's just "being involved", the same as any school sport or activity. CCDS is not an insane gung-ho studio (ala Abbie Lee), but they do have standards to adhere to - for everybody's benefit. At the same time, there is a lot of fun happening there too. All of the parents I have met are really nice. The teachers are very nice and the girls (& boys) all seem to love them. They seem to honestly love the kids. I have seen real tears from teachers when their oldest students "graduate" to move on to college & life. It's like family there. THAT's the real gauge of the studio for me. When I see hugs & smiles between the kids & the instructors AND my girl is excited about going AND her skills are growing, I know we've got a good situation. The best thing I can probably say is that CCDS has been in business for 35 years with hundreds of students attending & returning every year. You don't achieve that without being good and fair. There are too many other dance schools around. From OUR experience, CCDS is right there in the top layer.

    Walk-ins welcome

    I had a really fun time taking a recent Cardio Hip-Hop class. The check-in process was easy. I…read moreasked the person at the counter if they took any classes there and they did. The check-in person was super welcoming and told me about some of the other dance formats offered there. This dance studio caters to both children and adults. So you will see kids running around, which is ok, but I am not really used to. The class started on time. The instructor had great energy and encouraged us to have fun and do things our own style. I haven't been dancing in a while, so I knew it would be a good challenge for me. I really had a lot of fun. My only surprise is that the classes are only 60 mins. I think they ought to be 70 minutes to include a proper 5 min warm-up and 5-minute cool-down. There wasn't a lot of warming up in the beginning of this particular class. I've taken adult dance classes for years and I am used to something that include some warm-up movements to get the rotating joints going, like neck rolls, shoulder rolls, and hip and lower back movements. The class did include a relaxing cool down with stretching for the lower body and upper body. I plan to take more Hip-Hop style classes. They offer Cardio Hip-Hop, Beginner Hip-Hip and more advanced levels, Sensual Dance, Twerk, Ballet, Shuffle, Street Jazz and a lot more. I plan to try about 5 more formats and sign-up for one class for the summer session. I highly recommend this place!

    Here are the reasons why Born 2 Dance is absolutely amazing:…read more1) Low commitment: Life happens, drop in classes means that you don't have to feel guilty about losing money when you cannot attend a class. 2) Gorgeous studio space: The whole studio is efficiently run with large, modern, and clean practice areas with all of the bells and whistles 3) Expansive options: This is not your average ballet/tap/jazz studio. Born 2 Dance offers extensive classes and workshops for both adults, teens, and children in styles that include K-pop, hip hop, salsa, bachata, sensual dancing, belly dancing, pom, acro, and more! 4) Event space: We were initially invited to Born 2 Dance for a toddler birthday party and were blown away by the beautiful and spacious party room with attached play area. Everything was really well thought out and seamless and the party package even included a toddler dance class! 5) Proximity to a coffee shop: Simply Social is within walking distance which means sitting in a waiting room while my child dances is a lot more enjoyable

    I am so happy here. I've been coming to Foundation for about 3 months for training once a week, and…read moreI feel that my form in weightlifting has improved tremendously. I train primarily with Patrick (who is the co-owner), and I've also trained with Angelo a few times. Both are amazing to work with and so positive and upbeat (even when they are making you lift hundreds of pounds!). They push you hard and encourage you to build confidence to try things you didn't think you could do. Patrick has a remarkable gift with remembering names, and he is constantly circling the gym checking in with people about their goals and how they are doing in their lives, both in and outside of the gym. You can tell he knows personally and cares about every single member, and he makes an effort to recognize and celebrate every single person there. It's a small fitness community, so everyone also knows each other and supports each other. People are always cheering for each other if someone across the room hits a PR or does something amazing or new. Patrick also makes a point of welcoming new members by introducing them to people and checking in to make sure they feel welcome. Being at Foundation is the highlight of my week, and in the few months I've been there, I've already hit new milestones and PRs I didn't think I was capable of. I really love it here!

Steven has helped me understand exercise techniques that I never could've figured out by myself. He knows exactly what I need to do to see improvement and isn't afraid to challenge me. All the trainers are awesome. Amber and McKenzie are so knowledgeable and helpful. Even though they aren't my trainers, they're very engaging, fun to be around, supportive, and are a part of my fitness journey. Steven has a great attitude and impeccable customer service. I'm glad I chose Foundation Fitness because I don't think I'd be as committed to working out if I didn't start here. A welcoming, challenging (but not in a scary way), fun, focused, and collaborative environment have been key to my success so far. Whether you're an exercise newbie or serious bodybuilder these capable trainers will help you achieve your goals and set new ones. Bonus: all the clients I've met are really cool too. Lastly, an honorable mention to Angelo (now at a different location): he's a great trainer, kind person, and very knowledgeable. COME TRY FOUNDATION FITNESS!!!
