I recently moved to Ohio, but if I still lived in town, I'd definitely keep going. I'm someone with very, very little dance ability...but Rona was patient and encouraging as an instructor (and she picks really fun music to dance to, also!), and I can honestly say that I learned a lot in her class. So much so that I now feel pretty confident when I do it! She taught me some really good foundational techniques, which I still practice every day. I'd definitely recommend her class - she knows her stuff, prices are fair, and it's FUN! :)

I've yet to meet an instructor that didn't give a good vibe to all students in class. So many varieties of classes and all levels.

Highly recommend. Don't wait to get strong or lose weight. Just do it! You won't regret it.

I want so much to like this place. I love supporting local small business owners. The people here…read moreare super sweet. And...I've been to EIGHT classes. Not one started on time. On two occasions class was stopped in the middle: one time to take care of a business transaction with someone not attending class and another for a more social reason. One night I showed up at the scheduled time, even checked the sign on the door to make sure I had not made a mistake. Apparently the class was cancelled with no notice/no sign on the door to let people know. There seems to be a core of regulars, and I am glad that they continue to support this business. However, if you are looking for professionalism and punctuality this isn't the place for you.
