I went to classes here on and off for a several months. (Only reason why I don't go more regularly…read moreis schedule conflicts as the intermediate classes are only one time a week). First I went to the four week beginners' class and it is quite a big, popular class. You don't need to go with a partner although many people do, since you switch partners with almost every song. In the beginners' class, we were taught about 8 different dances. In the intermediate I classes, there is focus on a different dance each week. Always beginning with the basic steps, a demonstration and then practice with different partners adding more and more steps. The teachers are very good, patient and fun. You can pay a monthly fee which includes the practice time on Tuesdays or pay per lesson. Price information and which dances are being taught are on their website. The Tuesday practices are good to practice with people of all different levels and practice what you learnt during those lessons. I like the atmosphere of the school with the professional, fun teachers and the students are all kinds of people of all different ages.

I've been to Pofahl for two different weekend intensives now. I can't comment on their regular…read moreclasses, but I will comment on the facility itself. The studio is located behind Publix right by a quiet residential area. The parking lot is pretty small, so you might have to plan accordingly. I always got there early and didn't have to worry about figuring out street parking or something. The main lobby area has shag carpeting, and it bothers me in a cleanliness sort of way. Between workshops we walked through this area barefoot after we walked through it with shoes earlier. I don't know if I'm being irrational or if this is actually kind of weird to anyone else. The large dance studio space has one long wall of mirror and a black rubberized floor. My body is thankful for this, but it definitely caused some chuckling when turning and having a full room of feet make noise. The sound system was decent too. In the spring, we opened the windows for air circulation instead of air conditioning but had to shut them shortly after because of too much pollen. Like many parts of Gainesville, there are a lot of trees nearby and it's not always the best idea to opt for fresh air. I know I sweated my ass off both times I was there, so I'm not sure if that's not enough air or just me. Probably just me. All in all I really like coming to this studio. I really dig how large it is so you never feel too crammed.

What it is, though, is a gorgeous theatre in Gainesville which has a lot of left-wing and liberal and really moving and interesting local pieces, a lot of which are connected to the college. So massive kudos to them for having a little theatre like this and it deserves nothing short of five.
