The theater is decorated so cute and really sets you in the mood for a magic show. It is intimate and there's no bad seat in the house. His wife runs the front of the house and she was extremely pleasant and helpful. They have a small concessions where you can buy beer or wine and snacks. The magician was a really nice combination of funny and good at his craft. There were lots of moments when I thought how did he do that? And lots of moments where everyone in the room belly laughed. It was a very enjoyable evening and very much worth the ticket price. I highly recommend this for a fun date night or family night.

This was my first visit, and the classic décor immediately set the tone for a charming experience. The venue is small enough that every seat feels close to the stage. From the mezzanine, we had an excellent view and clear sound. The sold-out matinee of The Nutcracker was wonderfully performed and well choreographed, especially impressive in a more intimate space. Seats were comfortable, though legroom is a bit tight--but manageable for a two-hour show with intermission. A side exit conveniently connects to a nearby parking garage, which was a nice surprise. I'd happily return for future performances and gladly spend more time exploring the downtown area.

Avoid this place at all costs! The owner of this studio (Donna Grim) is a cruel, vicious woman. I…read moredon't mean that she is tough on the dancers, I mean she is sadistic to some. My daughter got "the treatment" when she transferred to the studio (she was a top-notch dancer) and refused Donna's suggestion that she join "the company" (the elite competition girls). We had moved studios because my daughter wanted to concentrate on her education, and just wanted high-quality classes without the time obligations. In ONE semester, the owner managed to destroy my daughter's self-esteem and self-confidence, and kill all love of dance in her. In hindsight it is apparent that she was brutally taunting my kid, although my child was scared to tell me until I finally witnessed something myself and started questioning her. (I am NOT a dance mom). When I talked to Donna, she blew me off and told me that even though my daughter was in all the same classes as the "company girls" she was excluded and was an outsider, because she wouldn't commit. The level of vitriol from this woman was spine-chilling, and I pulled my daughter immediately - never even finishing the performance that evening and the next. I found out afterwards that Donna (who taught the classes) would single her out and humiliate her in front of the other girls, calling her stupid and clumsy, and encouraging the other children to mock her. Mind you, my daughter was the top of her classically-trained school before she transferred in. Because of the genre switch, my daughter assumed that SHE was at fault, and worked even harder, but this horrid woman would single her out the next time. It has been almost 8 years since that happened, and my daughter has never danced since. I would avoid this place at all costs. YOUR kid may never get the sadistic treatment, but it trickles down to the other dancers. They never actually shunned my kid, but many other dancers were treated poorly by the other kids. It's just an environment that is dark and unpleasant.

As a former student of Dance Unlimited (10 years in the company and 13 years at the studio), I am…read morethankful everyday for the stellar pre-professional training I received under the careful watch of Donna Grim. Not only did I gain invaluable technique training from Donna and other fabulous teachers (namely Ms. Gayle-- the resident Ballet guru), I also learned how be a compassionate, team-oriented and driven person in the world. Yes, the classes are challenging. Yes, hard life lessons are learned on the dance floor, but I wouldn't trade my years with Donna for anything. I was encouraged to cultivate a passion for dance at Dance Unlimited that has stayed with me my entire life. The community that is created by Donna and the other teachers is one that is irreplaceable. I still keep in touch with many of my former team mates and their parents! My training at DU has paid off-- as I am now a professional in the musical theater industry-- represented by a great NYC agency and working in regional theaters around the country. Dance Unlimited is a save haven for those who love to dance and want to get themselves to the next level both personally and technically!

I appreciate the fact that Elite Feet Dance Studio is the ONLY dance studio in Frederick that hires…read moreall of its instructors with Dance Degrees and or Education Certifications. Ensuring that your child is receiving proper dance instruction so that not only they will have a positive dance experience during his/her time at Elite Feet but also your child will be able to walk and function as an adult. My experience as a student was very positive. I felt that the teachers were supportive and realistic of each and every student within his or her capabilities. I was also pushed not only physically as a dancer but artistically as an artist, specifically during one of their offered summer programs. They had dance artists from New York City come and teach master classes, allowing the students to have that experience without the costly and time consuming drive to NYC. It really helped me prepare for college dance life and what to expect for dance in the real world and not just the "studio life". Elite Feet has a great balance of recreational dance and serious dancer opportunities. It appears they strongly feel that the arts such as dance, should be accessible to as many kids as possible and therefore offer a variety of classes for all ages and levels. Starting from the beginning and little kids all the way to advanced and older students. The studio is very popular and their classes, especially summer classes fill up quickly. The most rewarding fact is the strong sense of community that has been established by the owner and teachers. The realistic expectations that the owner and teachers have for their students in the competition world set their students up for success and helps build self esteem. For example, one of their newer dancers in competition would not be expected to compete with a dancer their same age that has tons more competition experience. Since competition is for everyone and not just "serious" dancers, this allows the student to compete on a fair playing field, and helps build their self esteem. On the opposite side of that, those students who take their careers into their own hand and push themselves to become "elite dancers" are offered the opportunity to compete with the best of the best. This makes each dancers journey individualized, as they should be dancing to improve themselves, which some other studios tend not to do. Having had various different studio experiences growing up I strongly recommend Elite Feet and ensure that they offer technique classes comparable, in level and professionalism, to any of the other GREAT studios within Frederick. If nothing else, come to the studio and see yourself and experience if Elite Feet is the right fit for you.

It is amazing to realize that the actors are the waiters when they are not on stage and even though that is not their expertise, they make good wait staff. Since a lot of the actors are fairly new to this theatre, I will look forward to seeing them in other shows as I am a big supporter of WOB.

I recognize that the Magic Duel takes huge pride in 5 star reviews on Yelp, which I deeply respect. But I did wish that we had seen the show in a different venue. I am no stage expert, but lights and sound do matter a lot in delivery of a magic show for a skeptic like me, going because the significant other loves magic shows. With better lighting, things would have been more "magical" (thinking bottles.) I was also surprised that a bubble artist, as good as she was in her profession, was considered a magician. After some quick research, you will end up at Magic Duel in this genre, so please go to Dupont or Georgetown.
