This cute art center has different exhibits but the one I went to was all about the Boston Marathon. I had signed up to do the special package which included a 13 min slide show about the history of some of the statues that are on the Boston marathon course and just some history about the course/ race itself. And then there was a self guided tour to see the winged foot statues and some others as well. And there was a coupon for food at the start line brewery included too. The person who helped me get my tour started was very nice and helpful. This space is on the small side but it is very nice and clean. Feels a bit on the homey side. I would come back here for sure to check out other art exhibits they put on when it's not marathon season.

Went there this past weekend to see a blues concert in which 3 bands performed. The show was…read morewonderful and it took very little time to transition from one band to the next. Seating was on a first come first serve basis, but everything was well organized. There was a dance floor in front which was an added bonus. I will definitely go back to check out other performances. For $25, it was well worth it!

The teachers provide excellent training in a caring and supportive environment.

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.

After checking out a few dance studios in the area, we thought Arthur Murray was the best match for us. What we liked most is that the environment was casual, and the dancers looks more like your neighbors, rather than world champion celebrity dancers. There were people of all ages, and everyone seemed to be there for fun, not competition. We experimented with both swing dancing and tango, and our instructors were willing to let us try anything. Sessions were relaxed and fun, and the hours were pretty flexible too. We ended up learning a fabulous foxtrot and swing routine that got a lot of cheering and applause at our wedding. I can't wait to take more lessons.

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.
