Before coming to Major Moment I hadn't done any ballet in about six years, and to be honest it had…read morenever really been my thing. Now I'm a total ballet addict, and it's all thanks to Beverly, the studio's owner and ballet teacher. Beverly does a wonderful job welcoming newcomers to the studio and making ballet accessible to those who haven't done it in years or have never tried it before. At the same time she manages to challenge her regulars. Classes are drop-in but she spends each month or two working on developing specific skills through drills and short choreography sequences. Every class is a little different. I constantly feel challenged, and I feel like my dancing is always improving. In addition to the regular ballet classes there is also BalletEXTREME, a high-intensity ballet fitness class, and small group pre-pointe lessons. Some women in the pointe class used to do pointe when they were younger and are returning to it years later. Many, like me, had never done it before (and probably thought they would never get the chance, like I did). If you ever wanted to try pointe I highly recommend these classes. Ballet isn't the only option at Major Moment. There are many great classes offered at the studio including Zumba, hip hop, and tap (all of which are offered through Philly Dance Fitness, reviewed separately). But ballet is my favorite!

I had been going to Philly Dance Fitness (previously reviewed) classes held at Major Moment Studio…read morefor a few months, and never thought to review the studio where the classes are held until now. I took a ballet class offered through PDF with Beverly (Beverly is the owner of Major Moment) this past Monday, and WOW! I had taken a few classes at Koresh to try to get myself back into the ballet game, but it was way too intense for me, a lowly "use to be a ballet dancer in high school". This class offered by Beverly was great - she went through the basics including the positions, tendus, degages, ronde de jambes, etc, with some barre work, then we moved to the center for the last half hour of class. I can't stress enough how amazing this class was - it seemed that most people around the room who were doing pretty well, and I know there were some beginners in the class. Beverly has a great personality, with absolutely no attitude - she is simply interested in furthering people's interest in dance while having fun! An added bonus - even though the class seemed slightly easy at the time, I woke up the next day feeling absolutely sore! It was an awesome feeling :) I can't wait to take another class with Beverly!

I am not sure who the negative comments below are referring too, but it cannot be the Eka I met and…read morenow have the pleasuring of knowing. Thanks to a great friend who took me to my first class at her studio, I have been taking dance lessons from her for months now and have seen nothing but positivity radiate from that woman. In fact, she is nothing but welcoming, kind, encouraging and sweet. She is so personal and although there are multiple people in class, she manages to individualize the lesson by constant rotation of partners and oversight of all our moves. In each of her classes there are people from various backgrounds and she treats everybody with respect and kindness. She even recently did a surprise graduation dance lesson party with students from Thomas Jefferson who are of various backgrounds and ethnicities. They all expressed nothing but genuine fun and loving words about Eka. In my own personal opinion, she brings out my inner confidence. She is supportive and always helps me and helps correct me when I am doing a wrong step or can't get a move. Her beginner classes are so much fun. You start class with basic moves and add on, by the end of the class you know a tiny chunk of a dance routine. I've tried the bachata and salsa classes, both have been tons of fun. She also plays great music. Such a talented teacher, a great dancer, and a great motivator!

I've been to Hot Girl Jazz (various levels) and Music Theatre Dance drop in classes, and have always left feeling happy, proud of myself, and accomplished. What Rachel has created goes way beyond just dance classes. Whether you're completely new to dance or a dancer in retirement, you will find a community that's there for you and whatever journey you're looking to go on. The convenient location on Walnut makes it very easy to work into my schedule, and the classes themselves are fairly intimate. There's classes and camps for kiddos, heels classes, tap, hot girl jazz, music theatre, and more. I am a mover and have never once felt self conscious or "less than" while learning the choreo for the night. If you're looking to expand your community, hobbies, exercise options, or just get outside of your comfort zone, Evolve is the place to do it. Thank you to Rachel, Julianna, and the whole team for making dance so fun and welcoming.
