This is "the place" for dance lessons in Boston. Liz Nania is amazing and I'd give her 6 stars if…read moreI could. My partner and I started taking lessons this winter, and with Liz's help I've gone from avoiding the dance floor to looking forward to dance in just a few sessions. She is knowledgeable and patient, and focuses on what you are doing right before moving on to ideas to make you even better. Her class is the perfect end/beginning to the work week, and it seems she also has a strange telekinetic ability to attract some of the nicest people I have ever met to her classes. :-) In addition, her rates are extremely affordable and she offers discounts for taking more than one class in a term.

One hour with Liz and I left feeling like I actually could get on the dance floor without being totally humiliated. She is so great! Makes you feel so comfortable - talking and dancing with her!

I did a multi hour private class for which I paid a premium, I felt OK about it and good about my decision afterwards. I planned on returning to continue with the same teacher, however when I called to arrange, I was told that the teacher had been dismissed. The lady I spoke with explained that the dismissal was not for ability or quality of teaching, that the studio ensured the quality of teaching always met the studios high standards. When pushed however I was told that the dismissal came as a surprise to other staff members, but was also not a surprise as the studio owner requires 'yes' teachers to all requests, and that he is VERY commercially minded. This teacher was clearly NOT a yes person, just very competent and a thoroughly nice person! What also surprised me was the extent to which she supported the studio, despite what seems to have been one way from the owner! So a very disappointing conclusion, maybe I will be able to arrange private classes with her, but for anyone considering the studio for classes - buyer beware and don't believe the very believable owner who will say anything to get the business and revenue. It's a shame he behaves in this way, but I strongly believe it can only be the start of the end for the studio

This was so much more fun than I anticipated!…read more Sabrina (hostess/art teacher/lovely woman) led us through a fun filled 2 hours of my first ever nude sketching session! She was upbeat, informative, respectful to both the sketchers (us) and the models. Made sure there were no photography during class unless it's through them to make the models comfortable. (takes guts to be nude in front of a bunch of people drinking and looking at you!) She brought out the artistic sides of everyone in the room, guided us through different sketching exercises (1-3-5 minute sketch sessions) so we're busy drawing instead of JUDGING what we were drawing. such helpful tips! I think we were all VERY impressed with our own artworks! I really thought I'd be drawing a little more than stick figures before coming here. I had a blast and this would make any gathering unique, fun and explorative! I had an amazing time!

Like our host said, they do it all from engagement celebrations to happy divorce parties! All skill levels are welcome, and your host will walk you through a variety of different exercises at different speeds. Our model was graceful, poised, and cool as a cucumber.

I took the love your camera introductory course with Matt in the Boston Commons. He was really…read moreknowledgeable and really excellent at breaking down all of the modes and controls into easy to understand and remember lessons. I had tried to teach myself on my own prior to the class via the internet and found it all very difficult to understand, remember, and to implement. He broke all of the same concepts down into easy lessons that made it so I feel like I can fairly quickly adjust my camera completely manually and take quality pictures. There's additional practice to master it, but he gave all the tools to get there. Its was a miserably cold winter day, so we were lucky to have a group of 3 people (and a small enough group to spend a lot of time in a coffee shop nice and warm). Matt was able to give a lot of personal attention and answer all the questions I could think of. I can't recommend the class enough for a beginner.

I cannot recommend Bonnie enough. I hired her as I prepared for a VBAC after two prior C-sections,…read morewhich felt incredibly scary and full of unknowns for me. From the beginning, she validated those fears while also giving me the confidence and encouragement I needed to believe it was possible. My labor ended up being long and emotional -- nearly two full days -- and she stayed by my side the entire time. Her knowledge of labor positioning was incredible. She was constantly helping me find positions that encouraged progress while also paying attention to what felt best for my body. Nothing about her approach felt rigid or "textbook." She truly supported what felt right for me in the moment. She also helped me delay my epidural with techniques and coping methods I had never known about, which helped me go much longer than I thought I could. During the hardest moments, she remained calm, positive, and deeply supportive while also holding space for the emotional intensity that comes with a VBAC journey. Another thing that stood out was how well she worked with everyone in the room. She collaborated seamlessly with the hospital staff and guided my husband in ways that helped him stay involved and supportive, creating a true team environment during labor. After such a long and emotional experience, I'm incredibly grateful to say I had a successful VBAC2C, and I truly believe her support played a huge role in making that possible. If you're considering a VBAC, especially after multiple C-sections, having someone like her in your corner is invaluable.

Bonnie and Karen helped me achieve my goal of giving birth unmedicated…read more I met Karen at the hypnobirthing class she teaches at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. My husband and I had been playing with the idea of hiring a doula, but as we got closer to my due date, we realized we would truly benefit from having that support. I reached out to Karen, and right away we began working with both her and Bonnie -- and I'm so glad we did! From the start, we had a group text and every question I had was answered quickly and thoughtfully. As my due date approached, I felt completely comfortable reaching out about my symptoms and getting guidance and reassurance. On the big day, Karen came to our home and helped me get comfortable and work through each contraction. When we arrived at the hospital, Bonnie was there to support me through the birth. She brought snacks and a colored lamp to help create a relaxing environment. I truly felt like she was there just for me. She worked beautifully with the nurses to ensure I was comfortable and made sure my voice was heard. Throughout the entire process, we felt understood, supported, and completely at ease. We are so grateful to have had them as part of our birth story. I truly can't thank them enough.
