The Pound class was fun and done with drumsticks. I definitely felt it the next day! The Jumping class was done on personal trampolines. It was fun although it took me about half the class to feel comfortable on the trampoline. I would love to try more classes in the future and perhaps even join as a member in the future.

Even better is that I can see results in the mirror and when I slip on my clothes. I used to work out in a gym on cardio machines but it didn't do a thing for me. These smaller mom classes are so much better. So far I've gone to classes taught by Kathy and Janet, both are excellent. The only thing I don't like about Studio PinkFit is the distance, I have to trek out there from Centreville. It would be nice if they were closer like in Chantilly or if they sublet through a space like Centreville Dance Academy.

Both my daughters were lifelong dancers at Wilson. My younger one is now a dance major at a large…read moreuniversity here is her review, "I danced at Wilson for 15 years and wouldn't trade my experience there for the world. I continue to keep up with the teachers and friends I met there. The staff were invested in my learning and my creative development. Through Wilson I had the chance to dance for the Harlem Globetrotters halftime show and the Cherry Blossom Parade in DC along with many other performances. I am forever grateful that I got to grow up dancing there." My other daughter used to say it felt like home. Would highly recommend - because the school is quality. Your children are known and valued AND given an excellent dance education.

Every child is considered unique and while team/group leaning is important, Juanita and her staff ensure each child's individual needs and characteristics are nurtured. Juanita's kindness and caring carries over to all that attend this school. Older students mentor younger ones. If you have to sum up this school in one word it would be KINDNESS. Yes they are learning, yes Juanita demands the best from each student. But over it all there is a sense of teamwork, caring, and kindness.

I attended a Swing Dance event at The Lasley Centre For The Performing Arts recently. A friend of…read moremine was teaching a Swing Dance lesson one evening, immediately followed by a Swing Dance with a local band named "The Silver Tones Swing Band" providing the musical accompaniment. It was $10.00 per person to get in the door. Bottled water, a few different beers, and one red wine and one white wine were available for $5.00 each. I had a cup of the red wine - was pretty good. I met the daughter of the owner - she was manning the bar. Very nice people! I don't dance - and I did not attempt to participate in the dance lesson due to a lower back problem. But it was sure fun to watch the lesson, and then later the dance. There was an interesting mix of older and younger dancers. During the lesson - Ben made everyone periodically switch partners - so you basically cycled around a large circle. The lesson and the dance was held in a rather large room that I guess is a dance studio. There is a smaller second room where Ben held some more lessons after the dance started for those who felt like they needed more instruction. The only two things I will ding them on is: (1) Not enough capacity and hangers for folks to hang their coats; (2) The price of the bottled water was a little steep! I hope The Lasley Centre For The Performing Arts does well!

When we moved to Warrenton, I set out to find a dance school that would foster the same love of…read moredance in my girls that I had growing up. I enrolled them in a program but was quickly disappointed in the quality of teaching and mentoring that they were receiving. As a former dancer--I took ballet for 5 years as a teenager--my expectations were high. I wanted my girls to have the same positive, nurturing, challenging and inspiring experience that I had. Unfortunately, my girls hated going to dance class. We finally agreed to let them quit, a decision that didn't set well with me or my husband, but I could see they weren't learning anything. I found out about The Lasley Centre a year ago and enrolled my 8 and 10 year old daughters. Now, they love ballet and I can happily say that we have found the dance community I was looking for. From the professionalism of the teachers to the excellence of dance skills to the fellowship of the students to the community of parents and families, The Lasley Centre is everything I had hoped it would be. They teach kids responsibility and commitment along with a solid ballet foundation. And, they don't do recitals, they give performances. I believe, The Lasley Centre is an outstanding addition to our Arts community.

If your kid cries because they are scared in a new setting, make sure they cry quietly otherwise your kid will be removed from class. After spending almost $300 between registering for the class and school and buying the required clothing and shoes, my kid was removed because she didn't cry quietly enough nor would they let me sit in the class for her to watch lest she "sets off the other kids." So if you think your toddler may cry and make noise, don't waste your money. You won't get it back either. No trial period.
