I went to the Saturday Moves class with my two children of 5 and 7. We all enjoyed it very much…read more It is scheduled for 90 minutes, but the time flew by. Matthew was a fun, energetic, patient teacher. Even when my kids and a few others were running around, it did not bother him one bit. I really enjoyed partnering with my son and daughter to create a dance or set of movements. You do not have to be an experienced dancer to enjoy the class, as the movements are very easy to follow and create. I broke into minimal sweat and felt like I had completed a light workout after 90 minutes. Good for all ages and levels or fitness. This is a good class for families, seniors, and kids all at the same time.

My thoughts on this studio:…read more 1. Don't bother with the dress code. I purchased my dancer specific dancewear after talking to the Registrar, Flora, about the dress code. The majority of dancers are not following the dress code. 2. Don't expect a peaceful studio. The handbook specifically says under the sharing spaces section: keep voices at a low volume to reduce distractions and noise and show each other respect and kindness. This was not enforced. After every class, the dancers coming out of the prior class were extremely noisy for 30-45 minutes outside the studio. It was extremely disrespectful to my dancer's class. After I politely requested for quiet in the studio, my request was ignored and the behavior continued. 3. Don't expect to feel welcome as a new dancer. Priority is given to dancers not new to the studio. I had questions about my dancer, and the school director, Alex, could not be bothered to evaluate my dancer. 4. Be prepared for a weird smell. The smell of the studio made my asthma worsen. I want to mention this because I know how frustrating it can be to enter a space that triggers asthma for those who suffer from it.

Kinetics Dance Theatre (KDT) is truly a gem among the local activities available for kids in this…read morearea! They are a non-profit organization that is more interested in teaching dance as an art form than making a buck. I've had at least one of my munchkins going here for the last 4 years (ever since we moved to this area). Between them they've taken Ballet 1, 2, 3, 4, Pre-Pointe, Pointe, Modern Dance, Tap, and Jazz...so I think we've seen quite a variety of classes. We could not be happier with KDT. It has been and continues to be a positive place for our munchkins to learn dance (and made some good friends to boot). If you're in the market for a place for your little ones (or even big ones) to learn about dance I'd definitely suggest checking them out.

Class prices are reasonable, and are cheaper if you buy a class package for multiple classes. I took a spinning pole class with Kreea. She was an amazing instructor and tailored the class so that it would be challenging for me. Kreea is good at talking you through each move, giving helpful tips, and showing you how to avoid injury. I learned so many new things and got in a great workout! My one piece of advice would be to bring a towel and a water bottle because you will work up a sweat! If you are new to pole, I highly recommend trying a class at Vertical Dance. It's an excellent way to build strength and confidence. I can't wait for the next time I'm back in the area and can attend a class.

Unfortunately, our son had an altercation with another student this evening, and we were informed that he would be dropped from his class even without properly informing my wife and I during picking up the kids from the actual course that the altercation happened.

We were also informed that we would not be reimbursed for the remainder of the month for the courses that we have been forcibly dropped from. If you would like a good gymnastics/cheer experience, I would advise you to look elsewhere from this establishment.

While technique is very important at EMC, and is never lacking, it is these personal skills that I know my children will carry with them as they grow up. For these reasons, I know that the time my family spends at EMC is quality time well spent!
