I freaking love this place! I've taken a few class sessions here and loved all of them. The…read moreteachers are great, and if you're struggling take time to demonstrate/explain things until you're able to get it down. The classes themselves are kept small enough so each student can get individual attention if needed, and the instructors do a good job of making sure everyone is comfortable with moves before moving onto something else. There's also a really good sense of camaraderie here, not only with the students but the instructors as well. Once you're in a class, it starts to feel like family. You're not just treated like another student, and by your third or fourth lesson you'll see that everyone knows you by name and vice versa. If you're looking for a fun workout that's not boring, I would highly recommend checking this place out.

BE CAREFUL BEFORE SIGNING UP FOR THIS MEMBERSHIP!!!! The…read moreowner has absolutely zero compassion and will not help you if you're unaware of the fine print regarding their "roll over" policy. Instructors, the front desk, their advertising and everything will tell you that unused classes will roll over to the following month, but no one will ever explain to you there's a cap to the amount that roll over until after you're automatically charged hundreds of dollars for months of classes that don't exist. If you explain to them your family member is dying and you were too busy taking care of their hospice plans to attend classes and had no idea this policy existed and ask if there's anything they can do to help you, they will tell you that you signed a contract and should've read it better. I have loved the classes here, but my heart is broken over their lack of communication and compassion. This is incredibly unfair, and I just want you to know the reality of what you're signing up for before you get trapped by predatory policies and fine print no one will ever mention like I did.

My girls have developed a love for dance because of this studio and all the instructors. The owner is very knowledgeable as well as very personable. She knows all the students who attend and interacts with everyone. All of the staff is just amazing. I highly recommend the studio whether your child wants to do dance for fun or take it more seriously, this is a great school to attend.

The school bus drops them off right there. That was a big selling point. I was told my daughter…read morecould get off the bus there and they would look after her until class and until pick up time. The first day when I pulled up 15 minutes early my 6 year old was already waiting in the parking lot for me. She had taken the wrong class and gotten out early. No one noticed she was in the wrong class and no one noticed her walk out the building or her waiting in the parking lot area alone. Then on another occasion she was dared by an older kid to go outside naked she did and again no one noticed a her go outside even naked. I should have known better than to let her be there on her own shame on me I won't do that anymore. The parking lot is muddy a large part of the year that's hard on shoes and vehicle interior. There's no large viewing window. There's a window in the door you can look through but you risk getting hit by the door, being in the way and other parents are also trying to look through the window. The cost is about 85$ a quarter and the class is about 40 minutes long once a week we did a recital of the Nutcracker last winter it was performed at Cayuga College. The Spring performance is going to be Wizard of Oz. This is a revision review as the owner did call me today to introduce herself to me and also to address these issues. She also let me know I had the cost wrong on my old review I fixed it now to reflect the correct price.

Finger Lakes Fitness Center is a small gym located on the Ithaca Commons, in the basement of Center…read moreIthaca. It's in a convenient location for people living near the Commons, has a decent number of cardio and weight machines, and offers yoga and dance classes that are included in the price of membership. Student memberships are available for $178 a semester or $326 for two semesters. I think they are expanding the gym once Cinemapolis moves into its new space, but I'm not sure when that might happen. I like the relaxed environment and most of all the convenient location. I'm so glad I don't have to schlep up to campus or drive somewhere to go to the gym. I wish they were open later than 9:00 on weeknights and 6:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, but they do open wicked early in the morning.
