When I first reached out we had a chat about what I was looking to accomplish and what kind of training I was looking for. I signed up for monthly lessons and I can confidently say they've been fun and educational but every session we build off what we learned prior. Brian is a wealth of knowledge and I have enjoyed each session and look forward to more. If you are looking for 1:1 training, group classes, card and permit classes, call Brian and get hooked up!

I learned that she has been a nurse for over 12 years and she knows what she's talking about. Would highly recommend to those who work in the medical field as well as those who just always wanted to learn basic life support skills. I would give her class an A+

There is plenty of parking and the class is held in a room that is very well-lit, comfortable, clean, with lots of visuals and information posted and... coffee and snacks! I had no expectations because I had absolutely no idea what to expect and didn't know anything about guns or ammo. I can honestly say that after this class, I feel very comfortable and am much more knowledgeable. Lisa and Matt are passionate about what they do and are very well-versed on all topics related to shooting, with safety above all else. The indoor shorting range we went to after i took the written test, is about an 8 minute drive. I was filled with nervous excitement, but once we started shooting, I only felt excitement because I felt really prepared! I walked through every step each time. Lisa and Matt offered lots of great advice based on their experience, and I'm grateful to have found them and this class. They offer a variety of classes and I plan to continue my education through them.

Back-to-School Fun at CORTIVA Institute!…read more Today I brought my kids to the CORTIVA Institute Massage Therapy School for their annual Back-to-School event, and what an amazing experience! They were offering FREE services for the kids and families, including hair styling, braiding, barber services, nails, massages, face painting, mini facials, and more! ‍‍ I absolutely love seeing organizations in our community come together to help families get ready for the new school year. And the best part is that they do this every year! My kids got their hair cuts and left feeling fresh and ready for back to school! Thank you, CORTIVA Institute, and everyone who volunteered their time and talents to make this event possible. Community support like this means so much!

I've been to a handful of dance schools in the area, but I had just started dating a girl who I had…read morenever danced with and wanted to start out somewhere new. I found a Groupon for Arthur Murray Dance Studio and decided to give it a shot. I thought it was strange that they didn't care to see the Groupon (which cost me actual money) when I showed up for my scheduled appointment. We discussed what I was looking for and got a tour of the facility. All the while my feeling of unease was steadily increasing. This didn't feel like a fun date... if felt like buying a used car. Finally we came to the lesson itself and my opinion was sealed. Despite my practically pleading that we do some actual introductory dance (both I and my girlfriend had some experience), we were forced to go through this canned line-dancing-slash-walking procedure that was so bland and unhelpful as to be insulting. This lasted for what felt like an eternity and finally, once we were both thoroughly mortified, we were allowed to do a bit of dance. A tiny bit. Almost as quickly as we had begun, I was then whisked away to a mandatory sit down session with another of their salesmen, where they tried to pressure me into buying a huge, expensive learning package. If she could read minds, she would know how hilariously wrong she had been to try. This was a few months ago and - needless to say - I never returned for my second lesson. So essentially I paid full price for a single session and what I got was little more than a sales pitch. The silver lining is that my girlfriend and I still make jokes about that awful experience months after the class. A very memorable second date. I've only had the one experience, so maybe this is the school for you... but I've had great luck in this area, so I encourage you to look around.

I've been taking lessons for about 7 years. I was first at the Glastonbury then followed Todd when…read morehe opened the Vernon studio. When I first started, I filled out a form to indicate my expectations. They were and still are. 1) exercise. 2) have fun. 3) learn to dance. Todd has been great to ensure that all 3 are met. At first there was some pressure to learn many dances. This was to introduce me to each. However, I got confused and requested to concentrate on a couple at a time. Todd has been very accommodating and listens to my wishes. I am now testing out of the Waltz Silver 2 level. I've worked on Swing, Fox Trot, and Samba, but still at Bronze 1 level. I also take lessons from the other instructors, and they are all very good. During the week are group lesson that I enjoy. The instructor tried to make sure everyone is engaged and gives individual help when needed. There are also practice party sessions on Fridays, that are fun and a chance to try different dances The lessons are expensive, but I feel that I'm getting good value. We don't bother with the sales conversation. I just pick what I want to do for the year. It's a great place to learn to dance, get a work out , have fun, and meet others that share the love of ballroom dancing.

However, the staff here is really technique driven which is something I was not used to in previous classes. I love that they encourage elegance on the pole not just sexiness, Which again is something different from my Past experience with Pole classes. the club is affordable and educational. love that they have two locations. I'm not the biggest fan of the location in Hartford. However, it is more convenient than having to drive to Springfield. I did notice that the poles at the gym are not in front of the mirrors which makes it hard to check your form or your technique. I'm someone who likes to see myself when I'm learning. I also would love to see them add additional poles along with more mirrors, I do not like to share a pole in a learning environment. I feel like it takes away from my paid for hour but I do enjoy the open pole classes when I can make it. This place is definitely worth a shot if your interested at all in breaking your curiosity with the art of pole dance.
