http://www.eba-arts.org/…read more I highly recommend taking a course here. The most recent class I took was an 11-week belly-dancing course and it was a lot of fun -not to mention a great workout. The teachers are professional and nice, and the studio itself just has a really great, friendly atmosphere. The prices really aren't bad either, and you get a discount if you take more than one class per session. What's also great is that if you're hesitant about the committment, you can pay per class. That way, if you can't or don't want to attend every class, you can just pay for the ones you go to (which is no more than $20.)

I cannot say enough good words about Gail & ADF. I have been dancing here for a little over a year…read morenow, and can happily say I've found my home studio. Gail, and the rest of the teachers at ADF, are second to none! The classes are challenging but also great for all levels. I danced through high school and college, and tried returning elsewhere shortly after, but nothing really stuck. Since being at ADF I have improved as a dancer more in a year than I feel I have throughout my whole career. Gail even helped me get back into pointe shoes after a ten year hiatus! The studio, teachers, and other students create a very welcoming, warm, and non-judgmental environment conducive to emotional and physical growth as a dancer and human overall. Great opportunities, FANTASTIC STAFF, and a wide variety of classes and workshops. I LOVE ADF!!!!!

Gail has…read morethe ability to understand that while many of us over 38 still love to dance and be challenged, we aren't going to be NYCB stars. She pushes us within our own minds, bodies, and abilities, understanding that at 40 we're not likely to develop perfect turnout and 180-degree extension, but we can still strive for perfect technique within whatever turnout and extension we have. Her combinations are both challenging and fun to dance--in my 35+ years of ballet classes, her combinations have provided some of the most enjoyable choreography I've danced. It is a true joy to work with her.

The class is horrible. The instructor has no rhythm and she is very hard to understand. Not to…read moremention, seems to have no understanding of Latin dancing and has created an entire genre of dance that just plain is NOT bachata. The music selections that are used are nowhere near true to bachata clásico. I have tried attending their classes at both Ritmo Room and at Bar Vegan but neither are impressive. They should be embarrassed to call themselves a Latin dance venue. No one should even consider attending unless they find a real instructor who can ACTUALLY dance. Shame too because the venues are very nice. Long story short, if you get to the class and the instructor says her name is Annie, just go home and don't waste your time or money.

I came here with my friend to do a vinyasa class while in town. While I have no complaints about…read morethe instruction or the actual yoga, the atmosphere of this studio is very unusual. It's in a sort of industrial warehouse space. Very high ceilings and little sound proofing between the studios. While I was attending the class, I was really bothered by the amount of noise coming from a group of teenage girls who I think were doing aerial yoga in another studio. Really killed the vibe of the vinyasa class especially during the relaxation portion in the last 10 minutes. Also, this studio is very dog friendly, so folks with allergies please note this. Especially in the entry way, there were a couple dogs including one that appears to belong to the owners. Not sure I'd come back here which is not something I say lightly about a yoga studio.

I have been going to this studio for a year and there is nothing like it! Jessica (owner and…read moreinstructor) teaches both yoga and aerial strengthening classes. My personal favorite are the aerial classes, which have changed my body in ways that other fitness classes have failed. Jessica challenges and pushes you in every class, but if you are a beginner or have injuries, she modifies the exercises specific to your needs. Also, which is extremely important for me, she changes the classes every time to avoid boredom and so your body doesn't get used to the same movements. Other great pluses are the Rockband class - an hour of nonstop cardio hitting wood blocks with drum sticks and Aerial Cirque d Soleil class - performing aerial acrobatics in the swing. She also coordinates a team for obstacle/running events held locally (i.e. warrior dash, urban raid, inflatable 5K, etc) and has a couple weeks out of the year teaching kids specifically. Overall, the atmosphere at the studio (and owner) is warm, welcoming, fun, and challenging. A MUST studio to check out!

It takes about 3 classes for kids to warm up but my child really enjoys, singing and dancing. Its a great introduction to rhythm, melody, ethnic and heritage songs and different meters. Their favorite part of class is when Matt dumps out a big pile of instruments for them to explore. The class is a little loud and overstimulating for me as an adult at times but I really enjoy doing this with them. This will be our 3rd session. I also appreciate Matts laid back deamenor and flexibility. Sometimes my kid is acting up but Matt will dance with them or work to include them in the class more.
