My 15 year old daughter has enjoyed her dance classes for years at Dance Explosion and continues to…read moredance and perform there. Our biggest issue is Michelle! She is very narcissistic, disorganized and impatient. Her moods vary tremendously. She only expresses gratitude to her competition team and overlooks all the other girls! Last year the studio was first place in the Colonial Hieghts Christmas parade and the finale dance show was superb. Michelle made herself the center of attention of the finale dance, which was very inappropriate considering the abundant amount of money and time all parents had spent. She showcases herself continuously and only acknowledges her competition team. Fees have increased this year and unlike previous years do not include Christmas costumes. Fortunately new teachers have been hired. Michelle is very good with the young girls five and under but extremely impatient with older students. Her skills lack as well to keep up with the talent her students posses.

All foam flooring. The only thing I would've preferred to make things perfect would be to have some toys or something for babies to interact with. My son got bored quickly because he can't walk or get into the equipment without help so all he can do is crawl around. Maybe some sensory things out for babies to find and explore. This would've made me get a membership but since it didn't I'm still on the hunt for another indoor play place. Edit 5/19/2023: I have found the perfect place I was looking for.

They have a really good selection of ceramics to choose from, and I liked that each piece has the price right underneath, so you know exactly what you're paying before you choose. They also have tons of colors to choose from, which gives you plenty of room to get creative. The space can get busy pretty quickly since there aren't a ton of tables, but it looks like they may be doing some renovations, so I'm interested to see how the space changes. They also have snacks and drinks available for purchase, which is a nice touch if you're spending some time there with the kids. The customer service was probably one of my favorite parts. They explained everything really well, were available if we had questions, and made the whole process easy. Once you finish your piece, they let you know the turnaround time, which is about a week. Overall, we had a really nice experience, and it was such a fun activity to do with my daughter, I'd definitely come back to paint another piece and excited to see what the future holds with the renovations.

I've discovered many new…read morefabric stores in my recent time here in RVA, but no store really checked all the boxes before I walked into Quilter's Corner. Located in Midlothian, it is definitely worth the drive from wherever you are. Upon entering, you are drawn into the shop like a kid in a Hogsmeade candy store. Everywhere you look there are amazing examples of potential projects, and a wide variety of fabrics to choose from. The shop is so well organized that it makes exploration easy, if not a little expensive (Yes, before you ask, I needed that fabric - For what, you ask? Not sure yet, but I needed it!!). The staff here is amazing. Open and friendly, I never got the feeling that I was being a bother, or that I needed to rush to get all of my questions answered. Long arm quilting services, a large variety of classes, and a well-lit classroom are some of the many services offered. The folks who work here seem to love quilting just as much as they love sharing that knowledge of making quilts with those that visit. I'm excited to sign up for a class... I'll let ya know how it goes!

Good price on repair and tune up! And...my goodness the gorgeous bolts of fabric!!! A wonderful array of very good quality quilting fabric that you could also use for sewing other things besides quilting, but also a really good assortment of notions/items to help with your quilting, quilting magazines, etc. It turns out they specialize in Brother sewing machines so I will always come here now. The staff are also so very nice! And I could bring my Chihuahua inside with me it looks like!! If I could teach her how to sew now that would be really good...anyway, I really recommend this place. So many good things here for those who sew!! Oh and the parking is really good...it's a private lot shared between small businesses! #shoplocal !!

I am so disappointed in Spotlight. Our daughters have taken dance for about 5 years, last year we…read moretook a break from spotlight because we were not thrilled with the quality of the teaching for the price. We went back this year because the girls really wanted to dance. We just had the recital and it was disappointing 1. It was $30 per ticket because it was at the Carpenter theater 2. The dancers names do not appear anywhere...not even on a photocopy on colored paper or something 3. Some of the dances were good (Bollywood was great) but most were unimaginative, poorly choreographed and not in synch. 4. Our daughters' tween class had no discipline, kids doing their own thing, not being corrected on proper techniques of ballet or even behavior and they certainly did not learn proper ballet 5. The choreography for the tween class was similar to their preschool dance class 6. Our kids rarely missed class, and worked on their routines at home - which is when I found out that they did not do much barre technique. The instructor had no control or authority in class. It was a glorified, expensive babysitter. If they are going to charge these prices they need to bring a professional instructor. Not worth the money, now I have find another ballet place...ughh! The second reviewer is correct - the studio is quite impressive and clean; however, they are still charging similar prices to Richmond Ballet ($32 starting prices) and the teenager teaching our girls class had no control of the classroom and we were charged the same price as the more experienced instructors. I'm happy for those people who are happy, good for you but that was not our feeling. In my limited experience (I danced as a kid in NY, my girls danced in 2 companies in VA and 1 overseas) for the prices they are charging other dance studios have done better - and at least put the dancers names in the program. Bottom line to Spotlight - make sure ALL of your instructors are ready to go into a classroom - or at least have another instructor to watch and advise as a mentor for younger teachers (as we are all paying the same price and expecting the same outcomes from instructors), move to a more appropriate venue both for the level of the students and accordingly the prices, and put their names in the program - easy to fix.
