When it was…read moretime to "graduate" to a big girl studio after many happy years doing baby ballet, I researched several local dance studios. What I loved so much about AAD is their commitment to not only developing her technique and performance as a dancer, but also building great character. AAD promotes and participates in many fantastic organizations like Darby's Dancers, Traveling Tutus, and Dance Hope Cure. My daughter is beginning her third year with the studio's competition team and it's been such a wonderful experience. The mandatory ballet classes have given her a strong technique foundation that she has expanded on with her other classes. The staff and community are so supportive and encouraging with none of the dance mom drama that one might be worried about. If you're looking for a true home for your dancer, this is the place!

They have pole classes and Lyra and fabric - super fun! They may have more, but those are the ones I've seen and considered. Since I'm relatively new to aerial arts, I've only taken a few classes here for Lyra and fabrics, but I have loved the classes. The class size is 6 or fewer, so your instructor has plenty of time to help you if you're lost, confused or, you know, stuck in the air. The instructors are talented individuals who take the time to model the skills and are adept at figuring out how to help you see the skills from different perspectives. They change cues and point out different muscles, movements and positions to cater to the student. There are mirrors in the front of the aerial studio, so, you can see what you're doing. It is helpful, but it can be a little daunting. I've never had a problem finding parking here. The cost is affordable as far as aerials arts classes are priced. There are options for class packages if you are interested in going regularly. Have fun, it's a blast!

Both are…read moresome of the best ballroom dance teachers I've ever worked with: they have an extensive knowledge of dance, and yet keep all lessons fun and engaging. The dance classes I've taken with them (which have involved everything from ballroom fundamentals to rhythm/Latin dancing and even some occasional ballet-type training) have been consistently top notch. Better still, they genuinely care about their students' dancing: you can tell that they spend a lot of time outside of the studio thinking about how to help their students succeed. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, from people with no dance experience whatsoever to experienced DanceSport competitors. Daria and Kirill's new studio, Loudoun School of the Arts, is just as amazing as they are. It's massive, bright, clean, and really conveniently-located, making it ideal for anyone in Northern Virginia. Loudoun School of the Arts is also more than a dance studio: it hosts a wide variety of art, dance, and exercise classes, meaning that it feels far more active and diverse than other dance studios in the area. I have absolutely no doubt that Loudoun School of the Arts is going to become a powerhouse, both in terms of the dance world as well as in terms of providing fantastic art classes in Northern Virginia.

Even better is that I can see results in the mirror and when I slip on my clothes. I used to work out in a gym on cardio machines but it didn't do a thing for me. These smaller mom classes are so much better. So far I've gone to classes taught by Kathy and Janet, both are excellent. The only thing I don't like about Studio PinkFit is the distance, I have to trek out there from Centreville. It would be nice if they were closer like in Chantilly or if they sublet through a space like Centreville Dance Academy.

DAL is tucked away near the Leesburg airport and away from the road, which I like. The space is pretty large with multiple dancing class areas and seems very professional.

She said the hardest part about pole is that you have to let go of your inhibitions. Very true. Come with an open mind and you will learn something about yourself. I came in with a Groupon and if you're curious to try it, don't hesitate. It sucks that this place is too far of a commute from my house. Otherwise, I would've liked to come again. My guy friend whom I brought along shared my sentiment so I feel like this would be suitable for anyone - male, female, coming alone or with a companion. Highly recommend.
