We decided on a ballet-themed party. On the day of the party, Biliana and her team allowed us to come in one hour ahead to set up. They had already decorated with delicate tulle banners, and adorned my daughter's seat in a beautiful tulle skirt. All the tables and chairs were already set up. The place is spacious and clean. They make sure everyone is having fun, including the parents. We had a rather elaborate cake table, and they constantly pitched in to help us. The kids were led in a ballet lesson, which they loved, and a series of games. The kids LOVED it! They helped us take group photos with the ballerina, who was lovely to work with, as well as serving pizza, cake, and cleaning up. It was the best birthday we have ever hosted outside of our home, and every child loved every minute. So thankful to have this gem of a place in Brookline.

It can be uncomfortable just to be standing in that kind of weather, let alone doing cardio for an hour plus. Honestly, this seems irresponsible to me, and I'm confused by the fact that they don't seem to be concerned about heat stroke. 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).

My back is a bit sore today, and I earned 5 Weight Watchers Activity Points for the 1 hour class - which for me is equivalent to walking 10 miles! No dance experience is needed to have fun & get a great work out from the class. (Trust me, I'm NOT a dancer.) The class I attended was a free promotion, but the normal rate is a reasonable $12 per class.

Time for an update!! Like my previous review states, this is still my new fitness best friend, my…read morenew fitness fiend if you will...or just my new obsession. Whatever you want to call it, I love BollyX and haven't stopped going to class. When I can, I try to go two to three nights a week. Now that I'm officially a BollyX trainee, I wanted to give more positive feedback. First off, classes are offered at The Dance Complex in Central Square, and are taught there by a few instructors, Fen, Dom, Nellie, and Liza (8:30pm Mon and Thurs nights). Classes are also taught by Anita Patel at iDance in Burlington. Dom also teaches at VIM Fitness, across the street from Dance Complex on Wed nights at 6:30pm. Classes are phenomenally invigorating. You get your heart pumping, your body moving like it's never moved before (in my case), and you have a blast dancing the night away to some awesome Bollywood tunes. I bought a 3 class pack (as mentioned in my previous review), and since then I haven't thought twice about going to class as much as possible (visit BollyX.com for new client specials!!). Then I sprained my knee and was out of commission...but I came back to BollyX ASAP, and got back on track. Each class is never the same. We start with warm up songs, then jump right in to the workout. My favorite part is still the performance segment of class. We learn a song twice, and then it's performed by the class split up into teams. We cheer each other on, and then we rock our BollyX poses too. Awesome sauce :) I love it. BollyX brings out the inner dancer in me...and works out muscles that I probably never knew I even had. The music just gets you going too...I found myself googling the lyrics to songs so I can practice on my own...haha. All BollyX instructors are amazing. They are supportive, positive, and they care about you. They want you to come to class and enjoy yourself and give it your all. And I appreciate that :) A special thanks to Yelp for getting me addicted to BollyX. Without that free class, I wouldn't have gotten this far, so thank you, Yelp. Thanks a lot :)

The Hip Hop class at the Dance Complex is fun and Carl the instructor is great! Carl is good with breaking down the steps, he is encouraging and enthusiastic. The people attending the class are awesome too and very friendly. I would consider the Hip Hop class to be slightly for beginners and more for intermediate and up dancers. It's great to get out there and dance whether you are a beginner or not. There is no judgement in the class and it's fun because we are all learning together. I would definitely recommend the Hip Hop class and I plan to attend the Party Dance class too!

I have been taking one-on-one dance lessons with Carl for nearly 1 year now. I can't say enough…read moreabout my amazing experience with Carl. Prior to working with Carl and Boston Mobile Dance Studio, I had been taking lessons from an instructor in NYC who had quite an impressive resume including choreography for numerous major music artists and music videos. I only say this because I can at least compare my experience with Carl with my prior instructor/company. Carl is incredibly talented, patient, hard working, and enthusiastic. His body of work speaks for itself. His ability to break down complex technical dance and then teach it in a way that is clear, logical, and understandable has been the key to expeditiously improving my dance skills. His teaching methods are fun and high-intensity. What I appreciate most about Carl is how he tailors our sessions to exactly what I need. He goes above and beyond our dance sessions...it is not uncommon for him to continue our lesson outside of the studio (on his own time). I have been impressed by how he even follows up with me between sessions via text to check on my progress and see if I have further questions or need additional video work to clarify what we worked on. He allows me to video each session so that I have plenty to work on between sessions. He even sometimes does bonus video work outside of the session to emphasize critical skills to work on. Carl also teaches critical components of engaging the audience/crowd through facial expression/body language and gives real-life scenarios where he uses specific techniques to engage his audience in different contexts. As a busy professional, my schedule is quite busy- Carl works around my schedule every week. He is very flexible and offers multiple dance studios to work in depending on my needs. Sorry for the long-winded review, but I can't say enough about Carl and Boston Mobile Dance. Carl has taken my dance to another level... I can't recommend him enough!

While we were learning basic steps, standing in lines, they had us rotate so that everyone got a chance to be in front. They also had us rotate when we were partner dancing. I liked getting to dance with lots of different people, and it was nice not to have to worry about being a wallflower! The teachers are great, too. Very upbeat and good at explaining things. Yay! I would actually like to come back for more classes, but I do find the website a little confusing. I found it hard to tell exactly how to pay and when the classes started. I could be just being thick.

After checking out a few dance studios in the area, we thought Arthur Murray was the best match for us. What we liked most is that the environment was casual, and the dancers looks more like your neighbors, rather than world champion celebrity dancers. There were people of all ages, and everyone seemed to be there for fun, not competition. We experimented with both swing dancing and tango, and our instructors were willing to let us try anything. Sessions were relaxed and fun, and the hours were pretty flexible too. We ended up learning a fabulous foxtrot and swing routine that got a lot of cheering and applause at our wedding. I can't wait to take more lessons.
