A little over a year ago, I was a little hesitant to walk through the Arthur Murray Dance Studio…read moredoors. I was looking for a connection. Today, I'm glad I did. During my time here at ARMDS of Sarasota, I've seen a lot of advancements not only in myself, but with my peers as well. The ARMDS learning progression, allows for a strong foundation to be gained while moving up the various levels. A recipe for success. The ARMDS of Sarasota, allows for a conducive learning environment by providing a very warm and uplifting atmosphere for learning the various dances. A feeling of unity and family can be felt during before and after each session. Their set of instructors (Haley, Jose, Jasmyn, Darrell and Natalia) all elicit the best talents from each student working with. Their strong support for the students has been seen throughout our weekly events and sessions, specials events held throughout the year and with the higher seeking competitive students. In all, I think the Arthur Murray Dance Studio of Sarasota is a good find. A gem. Best, Robert

He's the biggest little hype man. Always super excited for everything and he brings that energy with him to Doodlebugs. They do a wonderful job directing his energy towards a variety of activities. They've worked hard to bring out the best in him. Especially Ms Olivia who worked with him extensively when he was adjusting to a bigger kids class. He recently just turned 3 and he's counting, recognizing letters, sings a long list of songs, and is so polite. He absolutely loves it there and we're looking forward to having his little sister start when a spot opens for her!

Not sure how we pulled it off with two 11 year olds and a 9 year old running around and touching everything, but we did it.

This truly was so much more than anticipated. I had no idea how this worked. About a week before the show, each person received an email of the character they would be at the dinner. A nice description was provided of that character's personality as well as suggested attire. All people at our dinner came dressed for their role. Then the fun began. Food was good, wait staff was excellent, and the evening's leader kept the show rolling. An awesome experience. We'll be back again for certain.

This…read morewas my second time going to the Pineapple Kitchen, I had previously gone for a charcuterie class. Which was 10/10, so I had high expectations for the Murder Mystery Dinner. Overall, it was a nice time. We did a private buy out so it was only our group of 18. For the price the Pineapple Kitchen fell a little short. Since it was our private group and my birthday I requested a chocolate peanutbutter cake as dessert. I offered to bring my own in, Jenny (the owner) said their pastry chef could make it for us. Great, it's my favorite and it is my birthday after all. We got carrot cake instead. Jenny, apologized about the mix up but didn't offer anything to off set the disappointment for me, she did say she wouldn't charge us for the cake but the dessert was included with our $90/per person and she never mentioned an up charge for a custom dessert request. She could have cared less that my birthday dessert was a disappointment. They also double booked us so we were asked to push our 6:30 dinner to either 4:30pm or 8pm. I had the mahi wasn't palatable IMO, but the chicken was excellent (I had a bite of my friends). The dressing on the salad was okay; I wouldn't get it again. The serving and bartending staff were amazing and made up for the issues I had with the food. Overall, I wouldn't go back for the food but would go back for the experience and time with my friends.

The best way to put it, the director is Trunchbull from the movie maltida. For the amount of money that you pay here, the customer service should be excellent. The turn around of teachers is extremely high. The director is to blame. She treats them horrible. She are all scared to clock in and out a min late or they get reprimidad. This is a center where young children go and the director doesn't have a single inch of warmth to her.
