The dancers were super professional, dressed elegantly, and really breathed life into the song that the orchestra (hired from a separate company) played. I paid a flat rate per dancer, which included the performance and 50 minutes of rehearsal time before the proposal to give the dancers a chance to rehearse with the orchestra since they had not worked together before; Urbanity Dance was worth every penny and then some! The final performance was exactly what I had envisioned, and I especially appreciated that the dancer who performed last (Joy) finished her solo with a "lyrical invitation" for my partner and I to follow her to the predetermined proposal spot - this aligned perfectly with the music as it was fading out, and allowed for perfect photography/videography coverage - plus the two of us were in such a daze as everything was happening that we definitely needed the clear guidance Joy provided. Big big thank you to my POC, Cayley, and each of the dancers who made this possible: Genny, Katie, Haley, and Joy.

There are definitely days when the only reason I don't go to class is because there's no AC. I also wish they had contemporary classes (they have one "contemporary modern" once a week, which is not the same as contemporary).

It seems like the way they do class placements is not so much age range based + skill level but solely just skill level. So you could be in the same class at 16 with a 5 year old if you're a beginner. This is probably due to not having that many students, just my assumption. The main dance instructor, also one of the owners I believe, did not inform the parents of what was going on for the recital. She had mentioned the time to arrive would be 12:30pm but in actuality that was the drop off time for the dancers to practice first. For me, I was not that surprised because I had done dance before when I was younger and grew up performing. But many parents were livid and annoyed, including my own. Recital started at 3:45. First, it was kind of unorganized. No use of curtains. Mainly projector & showed ads for 25 minutes of their sponsors... thought that was peculiar. Also, seemed to be a thing that majority of the different dance groups performing all looked confused & lost. No one seemed to know the choreography they were supposed to do so that was concerning to me. Questions that ran through my mind included: So what do they do in class? Did they come up with these routines the night before and expected them to remember? Everyone looked to be doing their own thing & did not look uniform at all. Another thing was, many people did not buy tickets to go watch & none of the staff checked tickets either. You could easily walk in free admission. I am no classical dancer, but I do know a thing or two about feet etiquette, which is super important in dancing, especially. Every dancer I saw on the stage had sickled feet & not turned out... that is bad & allows dancers to be injury prone. Sickled feet is usually due to a dancer's limited foot and ankle flexibility. So with that being said, why is this studio not implementing more stretching to increase flexibility during maybe the last 5-10 minutes of their 2-3 hr class? The main dance teacher/owner is a beautiful Latin style dancer. I'm not sure exactly how difficult it is to teach Latin dance nor learn it, but out of the 50 (approx) kids from both this location & Newton location, I only saw 1 girl who seemed to know what was going on.
