They help your child achieve their goals whether it's for exercise, recreation, competition or career aspirations. They partner with different dance photographers for dance photo's & headshots.

Pricing is very clear. Communication between studio and families is stellar! I always know What is going on and where/when it is happening. Thank you for the years we have had with you and looking forward to a great final competition year!

Marcela is a fabulous Zumba teacher! I have taken classes from her off and on for a number of…read moreyears. I had to stop for a while, because of knee problems, and then was just taking the Zumba classes at the YMCA in Encinitas, because they come with my membership. I decided it's time to "get serious" for 2019, and lose some weight and get in better shape, so I decided I'd go back to Marcela for her Zumba. No one else has quite the happy and peppy attitude she has! She has a genuine smile on her face all the time, and makes her classes extra fun! It's worth the extra money I put out now, because I have more fun and work harder. Please don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Y! I love it there and love the people. It's just that Marcela has something that is a true "cut above" with her Zumba! Also, the classes I take with her are MUCH smaller, making it more intimate. It doesn't hurt that after being away from her classes for about 3 years, I walked in, and she called me by name! Who does THAT? If you want a GREAT workout, check out her classes. She is teaching now at Dance North County, in Encinitas.

I have spoken personally on the phone and via email to the owner that I wish to cancelled to my surprise, I am charged for the monthly fee on my credit card! If I did not check my charges, this would have been monthly ongoing basis. I have called my credit card company to block this merchant and dispute this charge; as the studio does NOT reply back to their emails unless you are a new student or enrolling. Not a happy camper!

They are able to teach the many kids they deal with every day with humor and respect and enable their talent to blossom. Yes, my kids take classes here, and have for years, but it really is a great place. Couldn't believe it wasn't on here yet. NCDA also piloted a program where the families of the studio adopted families from nearby Camp Pendleton for Christmas (Bells of Freedom) several years ago. Last year, two huge UPS trucks and the guys in brown alongside a caravan of families made many underserved servicemen's families holiday a lovely surprise. What NCDA started benefits not only the military families but also the kids from the studio who do all the prep work and hopefully, learn a little about giving back to others. As a note, the studio also offers adult classes, both during the weekday and on evenings, for beginners and beyond. There are families that have both moms and kid(s) dancing at the yearly recital. Cuteness ensues. (Note: I'm not one of those moms).

My rating is for the combined experience- Beyond Van Gogh/ Beyond Monet at the TD Convention Center…read morein Greenville SC. As an artist, I was on the fence about these experiences. I was concerned about the hype and commercialism. Turns out that my concerns were valid. My advice...read the reviews before you go. My husband was interested so we bought the combined experience. The ticket price is ridiculous for essentially a one hour light show. The staff is friendly and provide instructions upon arrival. We arrived early and used the time to visit the gift shop. There were some good items, but they were mostly focused on Van Gogh. I was disappointed there was not more Monet merchandise. There is an "education area" before you go into the experience. Aside from reading the walls, there isn't much in the way of education. I thought the display was creative with the use of color and light and large sheer banners hanging from the ceiling. A few minutes before the show starts, you line up with a lot of other people. They tell you to walk around for the best experience. Unfortunately, the space is too small with people packed in so there is no way to walk around. Basically you are stuck in one place the entire time unless you want to push your way to a different spot. Floors are concrete, so standing for a while is uncomfortable. There were no seats other than a few benches scattered around. They should have been reserved as handicap. The Van Gogh experience is first and very slow to get started. There is no narration. Occasionally quotes appear in both French and English. Depending on the way you are facing, you may not see one or the other. There were some parts I really enjoyed, the flowers and starry night parts in particular. The Van Gogh part is about 30 minutes. We bought the combined tickets so we thought the Monet part would start immediately after. We were wrong! They replay the Van Gogh part and start Monet about 15 minutes in. I was extremely disappointed in the Monet experience and could have been so much better. We actually left after 10 minutes. There are so many missed opportunities for this experience. My recommendation would be to increase the size significantly so that people can walk as the show progresses. Being confined to a small space with a bunch of strangers is not fun. I think this experience would be okay for younger people or others who are not art enthusiasts. If you are really curious, go see the Van Gogh part. That's more than enough.

The Solana Beach OTF is one of the best gyms I have been to, not just because the workouts are…read moretough but great (though they are), or because the equipment is clean and nice (though it is), or even because it's conveniently located (though again, it is!). This gym is so awesome because of the people that work there and continually make you feel like you are valued, strong, seen, and always welcome. I joined OTF back in March after the BXNG Club closed unexpectedly. I was looking for a new gym and figured I'd give OTF a try. I had coach James as my first OTF coach, and from that first class I was hooked. All the coaches here are great, but coaches like James, Cheyenne, and Jayme truly knock it out of the park in terms of infusing their workouts with positive energy and expertise. Workouts can be pretty intense but they know just how to push you when things get hard, while still giving you room to take things at your own pace. They really make you feel seen and motivated in your workouts by calling out people by name to give kudos. They also make the experience feel more personal by walking around and giving suggestions or adjustments as needed to correct your form and improve your workout. I have also taken classes with coaches Brittany, Markus, and Paul, and they are all amazing coaches as well. The coaches are what really make your workout experience, and I love the different energy each one of them brings to their classes. The workouts themselves are also always fun with different themes, challenges, and movements that always keep you interested (and sweating!) Speaking of great people, the people behind the front desk are just as awesome as the ones behind the weights. Ari, Marilyn, and Sam are just a few of the lovely ladies who always greet you at the front desk with the utmost enthusiasm and kindness. Their positive energy is infectious and chatting with them is such as nice way to start and end your workout. They know the names of every single member that comes in the door whether they have been members for a month or 5 years and genuinely care about the members of OTF. These ladies are the unsung heroes who painstakingly decorate the lobby for each new OTF theme, make signs to celebrate members from class 5 to class 1,500, snag pics to showcase their coaches and members, and help you troubleshoot when your heart monitor is being funky. The SB OTF experience would truly not be the same without the amazing staff. Obviously, I cannot say enough good words about this OTF, so you'll just have to join and see for yourself! Thank you to all the people who make this gym so special. You are undoubtedly appreciated by every member you work with(:
