I started Intro to Ballet at the NBS in September. I started taking ballet in May and was really…read morelooking for a class that started seriously at beginner level. I wanted to learn foot positions, arm positions etc. and have exercises that repeated every week. That is what I got and I am so happy to have taken classes here. The interiors are beautiful and I took a class in one of the glass rooms overlooking Jarvis. So beautiful! In Jennifer Templeton's class we started slowly and continued from Sept-Dec. Her class was not too intense and very intro for those who had truly just started. After the course completed they turned the class into a level 1. Our current teacher is Dayton Hill. He is young, fun and high energy. I am really enjoying his class as well. These classes are a great foundation if you are just starting ballet. I would definitely recommend them. I cannot speak to the higher level classes but the intro and level 1 are great. If you want something more fast-paced they may not be for you. Also, you have to register for a full term and are allowed 2 makeups. There are not drop in options.

For children: unless you want a watered down rec program do NOT send your aspiring ballerinas to the 'Associates Program'. The full time Professional Program is still one of the best in the world, but it has no effect on the quality of the Associates Program. Save your money - go elsewhere.

7 years running our daughter has been dancing with MHSB. The summer camps are fun and the program…read morethrough the year increase in intensity as age increases. The dance floors are all appropriately padded in the studios, some of the evening sessions are held at local churches. helping give the school a real community feel. Energetic staff with excellent work ethic have all been great. And proof is a daughter who continues to want to go perform. What I really like is the emphasis on performance and the ned of year show is beautifully staged and executed. Complete with produced videos for the dancers to remember their performances.

I was really disappointed with the quality of instruction at the MHSB. While the staff is friendly,…read morethe instructors are young and inexperienced and I wouldn't recommend this school for young children new to dance (at least not if you're looking to offer your child a quality start). My four year old daughter was enrolled in their two week full-day summer program this year and after Week One, she was no longer looking forward to returning. A red flag went up for me when I was briefly watching her in class and the teacher never corrected her movement. In fact, the teacher was behaving as though she didn't even see my daughter! This wouldn't have been a big deal if my daughter was in a packed class of experienced dancers, but there were only three children in the class. Furthermore, my daughter had never danced and she was placed in a group of older children (six and seven year olds) who already had a few years of experience. It was during the showcase that I clearly saw the problem : in addition to being placed in a group of older and more experienced dancers, the choreography was simply too complicated for a young child. Instead of repetitive movements that would teach a child body awareness and musicality, the movements were changing every eight counts, making it difficult for a youngster to follow. My daughter felt discouraged and there were moments she simply did not want to dance anymore. We are very disappointed by our MHSB experience.

My daughter attended PSB & Interplay Dance from 2023 to 2025 for ballet, hip hop, and jazz. Last…read moresummer, we bought their $1,400 "Pre-Tax Package" but did not enroll in the full-year intensive program. Despite that, they automatically charged my card multiple times, nearly $2,000 in total, and ignored my emails and phone calls asking for clarification and refund. Only after I went in person did they refund part of it. Later, when my daughter stopped classes due to her heavy school workload, I followed their rules and paid for the first and last month as required, but the school still refused to refund the remaining tuition. I reached out many times but most of my messages were ignored. I've tried to handle this privately, but the school's lack of transparency and repeated unauthorized charges have been extremely disappointing. I share this review to warn other parents to be cautious about payment policies and communication issues with PSB & Interplay Dance.

NOTHING in my life besides my family has had the most significant impact on who I am today. I only look back with fondness, love and extreme gratitude when I think of all my days, weeks , months and years spent training, rehearsing, learning, laughing, all the while dancing to feed my passion for this art. How many dancers can actually say with a full heart that their very first dance instructor when they were 2 1/2 years young was their very last dance teacher that proudly handed them their graduation certificate. I regard myself as the most fortunate of graduates because of the amazing array of character traits that I acquired from all my formative years at Interplay . My awesome and amazing friendships with fellow dancers and teachers are ones that I treasure and adore . These are forever sacred to me. Even as recent as last night I received yet another comment while taking a dance class at a gym and the instructor commented on my strong training . This is a comment that follows me wherever I go and I have all my instructors especially Lucie Ward to thank for instilling an early love of dance in me.

I've been very self-conscious about my ample physique for as long as I can remember so a few years…read moreago, I decided to get involved in something that would give me a break from feeling bad about myself for at least an hour a week. I started bellydance class and I've enjoyed it more and more as I've progressed. My friends tease me for it but I have absolutely no shame during bellydance class. I stand at the front of the room and I put forth all my effort. In fact, I bellydance with such reckless abandon that silver coins detach from my satin coin belt and scatter across the studio floor. Bellydance has made me more confident about being a curvy girl. I have a tendency to be an introverted chubby bunny but when I'm dancing, I am an exotic and voluptuous seductress. I smile coyly at myself in the studio's mirrored wall, transfixed by my own spiralling hips. I feel sexy instead of uncomfortable about having a little extra junk in the trunk. What I like about Arabesque Academy: - The instructors at Arabesque are excellent, knowledgeable and approachable. They all have lots of experience as cabaret performers and as teachers. - Most classes are drop-in which is great if you don't like to be pinned down to a specific date and time every week. - There's a real diversity of dance classes to try, in addition to the different levels. Supplement the standard lessons with classes in tribal, belly hop, folklore, conditioning, props... Also, the standard classes let you explore different styles of traditional Middle Eastern dance and music like saidii, khaleeji and cabaret. - The student gala happens twice a year and it is very professionally put together. It's so much fun to get dressed up and show off your well-rehearsed moves in front of a supportive audience. What I don't love about Arabesque Academy: - The studio isn't in great shape. The change room consists of a kitchenette with a length of fabric pinned over the door. The floors are coated with tape - this is a tough surface for doing certain dance moves, especially when the tape gets gunked up with strands of hair and stray coins. - The per-lesson price feels far too high when 18 people show up to take a particular class. I wish Arabesque would put an attendance cap on their classes, dependent on which room is being used. It's just not possible to get much from a lesson when it's too cramped to do 'snake arms'.

Arabesque Academy has been around for a long time (since 1987) and there's a good reason for it:…read morethey are the best! 5 stars! I started taking classes there years ago after I tried the free class offer and haven't looked back! I am now also addicted to performing at their student galas. We get to earn really cool choreographies and then perform in a theatre. How cool is that? I tried classes at a couple of other Bellydance schools and they just don't have the fun-going vibe or consistent class structure that Arabesque has. The Arabesque teachers are all great dancers, kind and supportive. I really feel that they are giving me all of the tools I need to become the best dancer I can be, but in a real fun environment! The school is non-competitive and there are so many awesome different types of women of all ages, sizes and backgrounds there who are looking to have fun and learn more about Middle Eastern dance. The other students are like Any woman looking to try something fun and exciting, I would strongly recommend taking classes at Arabesque!
