Upon entering, you scan a QR code to sign a waiver, remove your shoes/personal belongings (they have a coat rack), and use hand sanitizer. The studio is one open room with a bathroom located at the back. Our session started at 9 and consisted of 45 minutes of yoga followed by 30 minutes of puppy play. The yoga is extremely easy going. Many poses are seated or lying down with the intention of allowing the puppies to crawl on you, as standing while holding the puppies isn't allowed. You won't know the breed for your session until a few days beforehand. The breed for our group was Dachshund and we had 7 puppies for about 20 people. The staff did a great job making sure every person had ample pup time. They continuously picked the puppies up and handed them to different people so everyone had their fair share. They also take plenty of photos and are happy to use your phone to take pictures of your group. A few puppies did poop or pee, but the staff immediately cleaned it up and sanitized the floor, mats, and puppy paws. Mats are provided, FYI. I'm only knocking one star off because each ticket cost $69 pre-tax, which feels quite high. All the puppies from our session were already scheduled for adoption, but the breeder is in the room, so you're always able to ask questions about future litters. This was a unique experience that all dog lovers should try at least once!

She knows me and my limits more than I do. I mean, it's her reputation and her wedding, so I need to get this one right. She made the reservations and I got there early- and was greeted by the staff to a studio walk through, complimentary beverage, and a basic interview of previous dancing experience. Aside from various high school dances, prom and my own wedding a lifetime ago... my dancing resume is sparse and lacking. No worries. They listened to the song we chose and thought we should go with a mix of the American & Viennese waltz. No pressure. The studio wasn't huge, but once I got to it I realized it didn't need to be. My daughter and I shared the floor with 2 other couples dancing as well, and it was enough room for them to be safely down range of me and my two left feet. But honestly, by the end of the lesson I could do what the Instructor asked, kept time and my framing, and my daughter's embarrassment was being counteracted one STEP at a time (what I did there). We have another lesson before the big day, but even after the wedding I think I'll set my wife and I up for some lessons so I'll be prepared for the next event that comes up. + Plenty of parking + They go over what you learned and what to work on before the next lesson + Reasonable prices + VERY friendly staff I'll be back.

The instructor or the host was creepy, aggressive and unprofessional. He tried to show off all the time and take advantage of the folks who are new to dancing which made us uncomfortable. We haven't come across any instructor with this type of qualities. Regarding the dance floor it was tiny and had several patches. We love dancing and support this type of events but at the same time we have to speak up if we observe something weird.

Although I am not the best dancer in the world, It is truly my passion and I love to learn! Artisan is really the only studio in the area that has affordable, drop-in friendly adult classes. Been going off and on since around 2016 and there are lots of class offerings in all styles on evenings and weekends to try. If you want to work on technique or be helped by the instructor, make sure you start with the "absolute beginner" offerings because most of the classes are choreo based and are fast paced. Don't know what I would do without Artisan! It has been key to helping me re-visit my passion for dance and give me opportunities that I thought would be lost after college!

Sometimes my husband and I take lessons together, and sometimes we take them separately. They are both excellent instructors and made the experiences very enjoyable. I guess that's why we always go back. The dance floor is spacious, there is plenty of room to learn without colliding into other learners. My understanding is that they have other instructors that work for them, but I haven't had personal experiences with them. I do know that Dana and Stacy personally train all of their instructors. I highly recommend this studio for anybody who really wants to learn how to dance, and not just "learn steps."

Every third Saturday of the month, Habeeba hosts a hafla (dance party). Doors typically open around 7:30, but the show doesn't start until at least 8:00, and often later. How late it runs depends on the number of dancers, but 10:30~11:00 is typical, and it could be later. Admission is $10 at the door with all ages welcome. Indeed, there are often a bunch of little kids running around (and sometimes on to the dance floor...). The atmosphere is fun, positive, and upbeat, and dancers of all levels are welcome. I myself only started dancing in June so I haven't performed yet, but I think I might soon. Anyways, the typical hafla consists of various local (and visiting) performers doing a routine either solo or in groups. Most of the dancers are from Habeeba's school, but anyone is welcome. You don't need to be a professional or even have a fancy costume - sometimes performers dance to random songs just to show off some special technique, and you see everything from elaborate galabeya to flared dance pants with a tied top and a flashy hip scarf. Many of the dancers do perform professionally at local restaurants and events, so the quality of the performance is always pretty high. You can also learn a lot from watching the performers... and interacting with them. Throughout the evening, the dancers will take a break and there will be "free dancing". Basically, anyone who wants can come out on the dance floor to practice their moves, get advice from fellow dancers, and use the wide floor and mirrors to do a little perfecting of their moves. There are also group dances. This might be an actual tribal dance, a circle dance, or even a line dance. Anyone can join in, whether they take lessons of any sort or not, and it's a lot of fun. There is also "free" food in the kitchen area, including a lot of different wines, sodas, and snack foods. Some times there are homemade cupcakes or treats too. Habeeba also holds workshops and special events, often right before or in tandem with the hafla; watch the website, I guess, for information. Overall, it's a great way to spend a Saturday night, and for $10, a very good value given the show and snacks.

They're patient, talented, and supportive of their community. We loved each lesson, and ended up with a first dance that felt like us. I cannot recommend them enough! My husband and I came to DanceEdge to get private lessons for our first dance. After the first two lessons from their intro package, we ended up adding ten more. While we were still forming the choreography, we went every week. After we were more comfortable, we did a lesson every other week. Two of the twelve private lessons weren't used for our first dance though. One lesson was with my dad for our father-daughter dance. We practiced a hand-off, a basic step, and, of course, how he can spin me :) The other lesson was post-wedding. We caught up, showed off our first dance video, and spent the rest of the time learning the hustle, haha. These private lessons have been such a great date night. Especially as the chaos of wedding planning takes over, it's nice to spend some intentional time with my partner. We would do it again in a heartbeat. If you're a couple and you're coming to your first wedding dance lesson, you'll just need to bring your wedding shoes (or something similar), and your first dance song. They'll take care of the rest. Why is DanceEdge so special? **Patience** Our instructor Maya is incredibly talented and super patient. My husband and I are both uncoordinated, but we never felt like she was frustrated with us. Maya always met us where we were, and took extra time on parts where we needed it. **Personal** Maya worked with us to make it feel like *our* first dance. As we would develop new choreography, she'd often give us two options to try out. We would do both, and decide which we prefer. She was always super receptive to feedback and suggestions from us. For example, we suggested a dip kiss to close out the dance, and she was happy to work it in for us. We'd also talk about how we want the dance to feel (joyful? romantic? showy? etc.). I'm sure this helped us align our vision to create the perfect first dance. **Talented** One of our lessons was with Jeff. He was able to provide a fresh perspective on our dance. We focused on things that we hadn't considered as much before, like musicality and making lines with the body. For just one lesson, he made a huge impact on our dance. In the lesson, he shared more about his and Maya's resumes. (Maya is too humble to brag. Jeff is not ). Jeff has coached for OSU's dance team, received multiple awards for teaching, and has been featured on "So You Think You Can Dance". Maya has earned her fair share teaching awards as well. Just last year, she placed second in a national dance competition. She's been dancing and competing with Jeff since she was young, so they're very in-sync at this point. My memory is hazy, so I'm sure there are awards I missed (and failed to Google). But trust, they are incredible at what they do. **Community-Oriented** Part of the introductory package gives us entry into a group dance class. We had a lot of fun learning bachata for the first time. Everyone was incredibly friendly and there to have fun. It's a very positive space. There are people of all skill levels, so no matter who you are, you won't feel out of place. Alongside bachata, they had performances throughout the night -- including us! We were asked at a previous lesson if we would like to perform our first dance. It was a lot of fun, and a great method to get any performance jitters out of the way. I'm incredibly grateful that Maya and Jeff let us share our first dance with everyone. As if they aren't wonderful enough, DanceEdge does a lot to support their local community. I don't know the extent of it, but from what I understand, they help provide dance classes to under-privileged kids. As a former under-privileged kid myself, I know how much dance lessons would've meant to me growing up. I'm glad that the money from our private lessons is helping them out.
