I worked with Timmy Merz (the owner of Booth Dancesport) intensively for eight months. He is a…read morelovely dancer, and a handsome and sometimes charming person. However, he has been highly unprofessional with me. He frequently does not do what he says he will do - especially if I asked him to do it. He doesn't communicate well. His responsiveness is unreliable. He sometimes dropped out of contact for days - when we were up against deadlines. He is unorganized in scheduling lessons, many times I didn't know my lesson time until the day of, making it impossible to schedule the rest of my day. And now ultimately, he has ghosted me over a disagreement about an advanced lift he wanted to get me into. I didn't feel safe. I told him so. I requested we work it in a supported environment. He agreed, but never followed through. This lead to an argument, after which he has refused to communicate. I paid for 16 lessons for the month of August, and only got six lessons before the disagreement. He still owes me for 10 lessons, and has, as of today (almost a month and a half later), refused to acknowledge any of my communications, or my requests for a refund.

I love learning and dancing with this studio! I had taken off dance for 10 years while I was moving…read morefrom city to city and trying to find a solid place to call my home. When I finally got my feet on the ground, I tried looking around for different studios to try out. I wanted a place that offered a lot of options and where I could ultimately train to compete again. This studio didn't disappoint. I started with their group classes first, then stuck around because the floor was a nice size for practicing. Then I tried a couple private lessons and I was hooked. This studio offers a lot of options from several professional teachers who teach a variety of ballroom dance styles, group classes for beginners and for those who are interested in competing, as well as a group cardio class with dance steps incorporated. I've seen people come in who are interested in learning more social dance skills, those who want to create that special dance during their wedding, those who want to perform as a solo act, and those who want to compete all over the nation. Everyone here is super friendly and social (even to the awkward introverts like me). It's definitely a welcoming environment and I'm so happy I found them.

3 1/2 stars. For our first visit at PoshSplat, my daughter…read moreand I went for "independent studio time" since they did not have any public class during the day on a Friday. We've been to other studios to paint following an instructor, and it was always a lot of fun. This place has a great selection of paintings you can choose from, and then you just copy the one you select, or just do your own. The lady who was in charge of the place that day was friendly, but both my daughter and I very quickly understood that it was better not to change the water where you clean your brushes, or ask for another paper plate (that you use as a palette.) When my daughter asked where she could change her muddy water, she was told that she really did not need to, as the paint should get to the bottom of the pot and the brush would get clean if it stays on the surface. We looked at each other, quite surprised. After a while, I really needed to get some clean water and was told that the lady would do it for me as there is no available sink for the clients. Looking at the paint stains in the bathroom, I doubt this advice is followed by most, but I understand that they want to protect their plumbing and the environment. So after that, since we did not want to bother her, we just painted with brown water (and my daughter never changed hers.) I wonder what happens when an entire class (about 20 people) is asking at some point for fresh water.... I never had that issue at other places, and this was a big surprise and disappointment (that and the fact that you are uncomfortable asking for another paper plate.) I get that they don't want to waste, but you have to keep it reasonable. In the end, we've decided that when we want to paint again, we'll go back to Whimsy in Westminster, where they have a sink in the studio for the clients to use freely, where they give you whatever you need to paint comfortably, and where parking if free and easy. If you want to stay in Boulder though, it's always fun to do one of these session. Drink an extra glass of wine and you won't even bother about rinsing your brushes. Now that's a thought, maybe I should try that next time!

I'm really upset with the experience a friend and I had here the other night for a girl's night…read more First of all, I had assumed, that since this is a wine and painting studio, that the atmosphere would be relaxed and fun. I however, was completely wrong. The instructor on multiple occasions barked orders and "got onto" myself (and other people in the class) for using the wrong brush, putting the brush on the table (instead of on the plate), or using too much paint (or not enough paint). She felt very uptight. To the point that I was becoming anxious about "doing something wrong" and having her say something to me again. I think the worst part of the evening though, was when she came over to my canvas and altered my painting, without my consent. She didn't even ask me, and just put her brush to my painting to "fix" it. I understand I am not an artist however, if I had wanted to purchase a painting made by someone else, then I would have done that. Yet, I paid for a class to be guided on how to paint while sipping wine and having fun. I'm pretty upset that none of that occurred. I was willing to chalk this experience up to just having a bad instructor, but I found out the instructor we had is the owner of the place. I absolutely will not be back and do not recommend this place to anyone. The instructor/owner made it feel like we were in art school trying to get an art degree. I just went to have fun and paint a picture of some stupid poppies. Yet, I left with anxiety and a headache.

They have everything from hip-hop and ballet, to movement classes like Nia and Pilates. This is a good thing because movement classes can help a growing dancer by keeping them strong and limber without overtaxing dancing muscles and tendons. Their pricing structure makes a lot of sense, pay for a semester that would follow the local schools schedule. You can also pay monthly and annually, but they don't follow the class schedule. I thought the expression classes would be something great for any child, dressing up as characters and trying to express them through movement. What fun.
