These classes were amazing and so were the energetic, friendly and skilled instructors whose creativity and personalities powered the classes.. I am 76 1/2 years old and felt perfectly comfortable in an environment where I was encouraged to go at my own pace. My husband felt totally comfortable in the Barre class as did the other man there.Excellent management. Can't wait to return with an unlimited class membership.

http://www.eba-arts.org/…read more I highly recommend taking a course here. The most recent class I took was an 11-week belly-dancing course and it was a lot of fun -not to mention a great workout. The teachers are professional and nice, and the studio itself just has a really great, friendly atmosphere. The prices really aren't bad either, and you get a discount if you take more than one class per session. What's also great is that if you're hesitant about the committment, you can pay per class. That way, if you can't or don't want to attend every class, you can just pay for the ones you go to (which is no more than $20.)

"Classes at eba, like most exercise classes, are invigorating, energizing, satisfying and rewarding. But, even more than that, being part of a dance class at eba is to participate in a supportive group environment in which everyone is a dancer and everyone has special strengths, and everyone can encourage and learn from the other. In that, feeling good about yourself is a group activity, is feeling good about others."- Comment from a former eba student.

I cannot say enough good words about Gail & ADF. I have been dancing here for a little over a year…read morenow, and can happily say I've found my home studio. Gail, and the rest of the teachers at ADF, are second to none! The classes are challenging but also great for all levels. I danced through high school and college, and tried returning elsewhere shortly after, but nothing really stuck. Since being at ADF I have improved as a dancer more in a year than I feel I have throughout my whole career. Gail even helped me get back into pointe shoes after a ten year hiatus! The studio, teachers, and other students create a very welcoming, warm, and non-judgmental environment conducive to emotional and physical growth as a dancer and human overall. Great opportunities, FANTASTIC STAFF, and a wide variety of classes and workshops. I LOVE ADF!!!!!

She pushes us within our own minds, bodies, and abilities, understanding that at 40 we're not likely to develop perfect turnout and 180-degree extension, but we can still strive for perfect technique within whatever turnout and extension we have. Her combinations are both challenging and fun to dance--in my 35+ years of ballet classes, her combinations have provided some of the most enjoyable choreography I've danced. It is a true joy to work with her.
