Floor quality is great and the crowd tends towards midlife and higher. Ice water, coffee and tea are generally available at the dance parties, and keep in mind it's also BYO. I find the music for the latin night (every other saturday) to be much too loud for my taste so I wear earplugs.

Fabulous dance floor - a true ballroom. Excellent teachers (Vlada, Camille, Carol, John, Bronya,…read moreIhor, Isabella, Mazen, etc. etc.). The Friday night dance is nicely attended - enough people you can usually find a partner for every dance (assuming you don't bring your own) - starts with a class at 7:30 - ends at 11:30 - DJ + always water / coffee / tea. Sometimes for no extra $$ there is a buffet!! with really tasty food (homemade by Joyce!), desserts, and drinks! A bargain!! A different crowd attends the different events - Friday night is ballroom. Free parking.

(If you are a USA Dance member you get a 2 buck discount.) The people are friendly - you don't need to come with a dance partner - people will ask you to dance (or you can ask them!) It helps if you know some dance basics but even that is not required - you can still have fun. There is lots of free parking. It is air conditioned and has a decent dance floor.

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!
