I went to the Port Orchard location by the same name, maybe they've moved?…read more First off, I do want to say that the owner/instructor had great technique & seemed really knowledgable about pole dancing. That said, my first impression wasn't enough for me to come back. Dolphin dance's website needs an update, or at least it did when I went. I arrived late because the address led me to a different part of Port Orchard and I had to call the studio last minute to find the location. Then class started 10 minutes late, and being brand new to the area at that time, I was told that this is how time/scheduling works out here... Actually, I've lived here for a year now and have yet to come across that anywhere else. Upon entering the studio, the instructor/owner asked where I was from, laughed, and made a statement with a heavy accent that was supposed to be from my home state. I was taken aback. It's ok to tease someone you know better, but to make a crack at someone who's brand new in the area, got lost on the way there, and is homesick like crazy.. not ok. I spent the class being repeatedly warned that, since I had a history with pole dancing at other studios, that I'm to keep my feet on the ground at all times until I progress further along in this studio's classes/levels. How boring. If I wanted to keep my feet on the ground while dancing to slow music that's not energizing for fun, I would have joined ballet instead. Then we spent 15 minutes being instructed how to twirk, one butt cheek, the other butt cheek, both butt cheeks. Seriously now? We also spent a good 10 minutes learning handstands. Alright, except for those who can do handstands in their sleep, there really should be an alternate option/version to work on during that time. That was really boring, and I wasn't getting any tips or corrections, so it felt like wasted class time, much like the twerking. Time was saved at the end for a pow-wow style discussion about life lessons and personal growth. This was sweet, but I'd rather be pole dancing. The poles themselves are a bit older: static rather than spinning, and they felt thicker than the poles I've typically used, but that's a personal preference.

My daughter has received top training and has had the most incredible teachers over the years!! She trains in every style offered and I fully believe she'd live at the studio if possible :D Additionally I recommend checking out their amazing competition team program. A BIG thing I love is that they offer sensory friendly performances and have a beautiful danceABLE program. I really don't feel there is anywhere else like Allegro in WA state. Thank you Allegro for being my daughter's home away from home.

You leave feeling accomplished after a thorough workout while dancing to great songs. I wasn't sure what to expect when I came here. It was a bit confusing trying to find the studio. When you enter from street level, you have to go downstairs towards the Underground Dance Studio. You can either dance barefoot or with shoes (wish they could make a rule about which one because my feet always get dirty). The class starts off with some warm up dances and then moves through different types of styles of dancing with each song change. You get to express yourself however you want to. You don't have to do every single move the same way and they encourage movement around the floor. Thankfully there are a bunch of fans around the room because by the 3rd song I'm always sweating. There are no official breaks so step off the dance floor and get water as necessary. Class ends with some stretching and warm cloths with some sort of essential oil. I can't wait til the next class!

I came across this place when I bought one of the 8-class package from one of those deal sites…read more(don't remember if it was AmazonLocal, Groupon or some other sites). I figured I would just try this place out since it was quite close to my home and it had good reviews. I was pleasantly surprised at how cheerful and upbeat all the instructors are (I tried Zumba/Hiphop and More than Dance classes and probably have been in classes with 5 different instructors (depending on the day/time you choose to go). What I can say is that all the instructors are have their own styles but are definitely wonderful and will keep you happily dancing. What I particularly like about this place is the christmas lighting and the setting that makes you not feel so self-conscious about what you are doing wrong or how terrible of a dancer you may think you are. I admit that I'm not a naturally good dancer and I have a good time everytime I go there. There are, of course, some people there who can dance like rock stars and look really cool when they dance. However, the instructors there are very encouraging and provide guidance what you can do as a beginner, intermediate or advanced dancers, so you can really just do things at your own level and not care so much about others. It definitely feels liberating to just be able to dance your own style, at your own pace/level, and nobody is judging you on how you look or how weird you dance :). After the package ran out, I ended up signing up for more classes and still go there whenever I find some free time.
