One unassuming Saturday, my three-year-old daughter looked at me and said I want to tap dance. As…read moresomeone who can barely two-step, I was intrigued and horrified at the same time by my child's a sudden interest in something other than cartoons and swimming. I thought this was a flight of fancy. It was not she was very insistent. However I knew she needed to learn how to dance before taking on tap shoes. But as any parent, I was thrilled that my child was interested in an activity. I took to the Internet and gathered a handful of dance studios. VDC was the first and last stop on our list. They offer A sample class. After that breakfast class I knew my daughter was very interested. The school runs parallel to the school year. It begins in August and runs until June with a grand finale. They have a wide variety of classesFrom beginner to expert, from ballet to hip-hop and tap. The staff is very knowledgeable, patient, and has a very good way with the little dancers. I was not sure how a teacher would handle a room full of three-year-olds. There is a waiting area in the front where you watch you're a little dancer on a TV. This allows you to commiserate and socialize with the other parents. And it allows your child to pay attention, as much as they can, without the distraction of their parent. Classes can be billed monthly or by monthly. It includes the costume for the final recital, our recital book T-shirt and classes. The June recital was a lot of fun. And a great way to see how are you a little dancer can progress into other classes. VDC is a great community. My daughter really enjoys it. And I feel that she is having a good time and learning a variety of skills in class. I can't wait to see where VDC takes her.

The costumes were just beautiful. I couldn't get over the colors, my eyes were just drawn to the stage. The music was just the icing on the cake. I couldn't get enough. I shocked how my emotions can be portrayed with no words. I took my husband and he was surprised how much he enjoyed it as well. Next time will take my daughter too. I didn't realize that this was a performance for the whole family. The ballet is truly for all ages. We will definitely be at the next OKC Ballet production.

For a fun evening, take in an Adele Wolfe Burlesque & Variety Show and you'll never be…read moredisappointed. Adele, producer and accomplished dancer, always has a special group of guests to entertain and titilate your fancy. Adele likes feathers and they look good on her and you will be able to see a great deal of her behind the feathers. She will have a new costume to start every show and they will compliment her form and moves and your imagination - perhaps a silver wolf or a bird of paradise, always new and nice. Her guest performers are fun and provide a variety of special burlesque entertainment. Perhaps you like hula hoops, or a black wolf with all the moves, or a WWII soldier - you may have seen these outfits and many others on Ms Wolf's guests and they always come off to reveal the treasures that lay beneath. One of the highlights of every show is the gorgeous guest bellydancer, somehow managing to look exotic and beautiful, seemingly expending little or no effort, as she dances, glides, shimmies and teases. There is always a surprise at the Adele Wolf shows: perhaps Adele's mother will make another guest birthday or anniversary appearance; maybe she will think up another game of contestants taking the panties off the clothesline with, what else, their mouths; and always prizes that will have the guests in stitches. You will want to return to see who the next MC will be: a good looking fifth grade teacher or perhaps a cross dresser that will take your breath away, you never know. And, not last or least, there will be the tall person, dressed in black, quiet but the ever present Beaver! who does the hard stuff like pulling numbers out of a hat or holding the hat in a provocative way for another guest to draw the numbers. You will leave with a bit of wispy bit of smoke curling about your mind about who this dazzling auburn haired beauty really is. This is Adele Wolf's Burlesque, always fun, always a class act done with style and grace!

I've been enjoying the classes here! I started going right when they moved to the Automobile Alley…read morelocation which was a bit confusing at first, but it's fine now. Parking lot and the easiest entrance are both in the back of the building. They offer mostly hot yoga which was something I had been hesitant about in the past, but I really like the workout and the teachers I've had. They have a pretty regular schedule, so like Devin and Tailyn are some of my favorites, and you can really build a practice with a few teachers who know you if you go regularly. I also really like Rylie's barre classes. I went to BYB in Norman in 2019 and didn't super love the instructors and classes, but I really like the instructors here in OKC who are really lovely, caring, and motivating which makes all the difference with something as vulnerable as hot yoga, especially as someone who's never been really dedicated to her practice before. I will say that the studio isn't perfect, but they're all minor complaints. I know they just moved into it, but there's a slightly lifted plank in the floor that would be horrible to step on or have your mat on. Also, the heat lamps are really low, so it's killer if you end up underneath one (a great sweaty workout though if that's what you want). Finally, for the most part, the studio is private, but the door is clear glass, so I have seen people looking in a few times which is a little awkward. It's in a hallway, so people are passing by, and looking up to see someone looking at the class while you're doing downward facing dog isn't the best haha. I will say that I've never been in an overfull class in the two or three months I've been attending. I'm not sure what the cap is, but I've also always been able to book the classes I want, even 30 minutes before they start. I'm on the unlimited classes student deal for $100 a month, and it's a great motivation to put classes in my calendar and actually go. It's also helpful that it's not too far from my apartment, unlike a lot of the other exercise studios in the metro :) Thank you!

Especially love their weekend selection as I often am unable to make midday workouts. They provide mats, balance balls, weights, bands, and really anything you need to enjoy the class.

Mind you she loves dancing and is all around the house all the time swirling and twirling. We weren't even there but 3 minutes before this ugly spirited woman decided she wasn't gonna tolerate my child. We are of color as well and a Hispanic family before us got kicked out just as quick for being " disruptive " Also, mind you these are classes where it's usually just the one family and the instructor by themselves so it's appalling that children can be disruptive when no one is there. In my opinion, don't offer a program for the younger kids if you get overstimulated and overwhelmed to the point where you're abusing the parents' money and neglecting your due diligence to build children up by teaching the art you claim to love. Be careful parents! You've been warned!
