Fast forward one year since I started at Orange Shoe, I have really been enjoying my personal…read moretraining sessions at Orange Shoe and working with the trainers towards my fitness goals. The foot injury I came in with and had discussed with the trainers during my initial assessment has recovered very well. They designed a stretching program for me that helped tremendously. I can do cardio and high impact exercises again with no issues. Huge progress as I honestly thought my foot would never be the same again. Also, regarding my fitness goals, my goal was to build muscle and training sessions have been a nice mix of progressive strength training and conditioning. Workouts are always challenging, but doable, and leave you feeling like you exercised every single muscle group in your body. I now have muscle tone that was not there a year ago when I started. I feel stronger and can lift and squat weight that I never thought I would be able to. All the trainers are excellent. They are very knowledgeable, correct your form, and are very supportive, giving you the extra push you need whenever you feel you cannot possibly do another repetition or set. Also, I never cease to be amazed by Jake and his ability to detect muscle imbalances that may be causing difficulty with a certain exercise. If there is a certain exercise you cannot do, they will modify the exercise, and work to build up the weak muscles so you can eventually do the advanced version of the exercise with proper form. Orange Shoe is well worth the investment if you can manage it. I consider it an investment in my long-term health. I would recommend them 100% to anyone looking for some help with their health and fitness goals, whatever those may be, whether it's building muscle, losing weight, running a marathon, etc. They will design a program tailored to you and set achievable goals that will help keep you motivated.

A lot of BJJ coaches preach that BJJ is a personal journey... not all of them encourage that vibe. Jordan, I think really believes this and try's very hard to welcome everyone and support everyone.

The other upper belts and Black Belts are all very supportive. Fit is essential when choosing a gym... these guys will tell you that... which makes it worth checking out.

I still have no rhythm, but the classes are welcoming and I feel comfortable stumbling along about a half beat behind the instructor. I've mostly stuck to the beginner belly dancing classes, but I've also made it out to ladies burlesque night and just recently to the chub club dance party kick-off. That last event was a ton of fun, and like all of dance life's classes was a great mix of ages, sizes, and dance experience. Once you attend your first class, the rest of your groupon classes never expire, so even if you can't make it out regularly it's still a good deal!

I've been a student here since January 2013 and became a volunteer instructor in August of 2013. Most, if not all, of the instructors here are volunteers. We all have "day jobs" but we love this place and owner Arielle so much that we teach classes in exchange for taking classes. Dance Life offers fitness classes such as Zumba, piyo, piloxing, Oula, dance classes like bellydance and ballet, and crossover classes like 'tone and tease' and burlesque fitness. The main entry has a cozy lobby space with overstuffed sofas, chairs, and decorative pillows where we all gather before classes begin. There is a changing area, two restrooms and a water dispenser in case you forgot your water bottle. Classes happen in either the large Sultana Studio or the smaller Peacock Studio. I'll post a photo of the wonderful peacock mural next time I'm at the studio. There is a small shop where you can stock up on bellydance hip scarves and other dance apparel. There is also a small practice studio that students can rent. In fact, when classes aren't in session the whole studio is available to rent! Parking spots are located along the walls of the building. It can get a little crowded on busy nights like special ladies nights events but it's usually not an issue. Come check it out, you just may find your home away from home.

If your son has an interested in hip hop, this is your place! Fun, creative, and hip. The year end recital cannot be missed. There are many talented dancers as well as the performance by Team.

Buyer beware of a place that pushes past accolades, or their father's past accolades. We had experience with a different ATA organization before we moved here, and I wish we had sought out ATA again. Instead, we found a place close to home and the difference is night and day. ATA focuses on character development, real skills, encouraging kids and preventing bullying. The other place focused on money. If you have any doubts, please just try ATA West. We actually got started here through a Groupon, and I am so glad we did. My 7 year old came home tonight asking me what he could do to learn more about self-discipline. He has committed to caring for our dog and running nightly clean-ups-encouraging the whole family to do this. He wants to show us that he can take initiative and do these things without being reminded. I have no doubt he will follow through. This is why I love the ATA program. It is holistic and truly helps your child develop virtues that serve them for a life time.
