Have you ever gone down a rabbit hole of dance videos online, and you want to move like that? Well, FireWall definitely can give you that moment with choreography, movement, and video. A friend and I attended a special Sip & Sexy 2-hour event, and we were floored by how fun it was. For the first time, I felt sexy when dancing, and the people at FireWall are truly a hype squad. I'm sold, and I've purchased a class pass to return to more classes (and I have!). Parking can be spicy, but if you're there after 6 pm, street parking becomes free. If you want free parking, you'll need to park up near Josephine Street, and that's a few blocks away.

There is a huge free parking lot in the back as well. The owner is one of the sweetest people I've met and I've only been to two classes. Very uplifting and radiates positivity. Love that it is a drop in studio so adults are welcome. Honestly my only down fall now is that you are still required to wear masks even with the mandates lifted and being vaccinated. I totally understand wanting to be extra cautious, selfishly just hate being so sweaty in a mask dancing. will be back for more.

If you are an adult looking for dance classes, this is the studio for you; I love this place!…read more There is a wide array of classes to choose from offered throughout the course of a week. The instructors are friendly, professional , and mindful of the mature dancer.

We are "all about" All About Dance!…read more They have tap/jazz and ballet classes taught by two loving, dedicated co-owners who used to be instructors at Chatham University before their program was closed. The studio is small--both in terms of actual space and number of dancers--so there is lots of personal attention. The owners teach ever course, and they know every child. My 3-year-old is just as important as their senior competition team members. My daughter is likely not destined to be a ballerina or a professional dancer, but she's having the time of her life in these classes and learning alot too! We particularly like the 4/5-year old tap/ballet combo class. In 40 minutes, the kids do 20 minutes of ballet with one owner, change shoes, and then do 20 minutes of tap with the other owner. By the end of that, my daughter is blissfully happy and tired. She and her friend sing and laugh the entire car ride home and then pass out promptly after dinner. Don't let the location stop you: it's not far at all. The studio is located on the south of the 376 bridge across from Regent Square. Traffic on Braddock/Forbes can be a small issue coming from Squirrel Hill or Oakland around 5pm in the fall/spring, but it usually only takes 10-12 minutes.

I have visited this gym twice now when visiting my parents who live nearby in Pittsburgh. It takes…read morea while to get checked in when you visit for the first time. I filled out the paperwork and then the person working typed out all my info into the computer. It is $10 to visit with a member. Since they already had my info from last time, it was much quicker to check in. There are lockers available and clean bathrooms. I didn't go in the showers, but noticed they have them. The gym itself is nice! I loved the treadmills. All of the equipment is new and clean. They also offer classes in the main basketball court part of the gym. I saw people doing pilates on my first visit, and indoor pickleball this most recent visit. There is also a small track on the second floor that overlooks the gym for people to walk. There are plenty of tables and chairs and a small cafe. I wonder if WFH people work here? I would. Nice, clean, and comfortable. And affordable! This would cost WAY more to visit where I live in Austin, TX. I recommend this community center!
