We were having a surprise 60th birthday party for our friend and we're able to bring in catered food and our own alcoholic beverages. They were very accommodating to us, allowing us to set up a little early and then allowed us an extra hour (which we paid for) after the 2 hour painting session. The instructor was very nice and guided us through the painting process step by step. She had an assistant who made sure we were well stocked with paper towels and paints. In the end everyone had a respectable painting to take home. Some of us are more talented than others, but it was fun nonetheless! If you're looking for something different to do to celebrate a birthday, this is a great option. They also off a full calendar of events you can attend solo or with just a friend or two. They have many different classes to choose from. And of course they have holiday themed ones as well.

Whether you're a beginner or a salsa dance star,…read morethe owners are great in getting you acclimated to their locale and everyone who attend is welcoming. There is a $10 cover at the door, but if you attend the salsa dance about 30 minutes before, then you only pay $5. The atmosphere is lively, fun, laid back, and very amicable. The owners dance around with everyone. You won't even realize who they are! Honestly, stop reading and go grab your dancing shoes, or converse (which is what I did) and go dance. I've been meaning to go by again, so don't be shocked if you see me check in on yelp! Just don't expect me to dance with you, because I dance at the beat of my own drum

A friend suggested that I check out Donna's and I'm glad we did! First of all, Donna is extremely responsive. She usually answers email inquiries within an hour or so, but I've never waited longer than a day for a response. In correspondence with the school they are always polite and informative. One of the selling points for me on this studio is that they don't push you to buy a million things and their tuition is affordable. Kids in the three and four year old combination class aren't required to wear anything particular and aren't required to purchase shoes until they know they are performing in the recital. That is a huge relief considering you never know how kids are going to be in terms of sticking with something. Another perk is that boys dance for free at this studio! They just have to pay the registration fee and then a costume fee if they choose to dance in the recital. This is an amazing option if you have both a son and a daughter. The studio itself is well lit, clean and spaced out. There is a large waiting area for parents where we can see in to the classroom and check out with the kids are up to, but the kids can't really see out to the parent area. The studios are spacious and mirror lined. Everyone we've interacted with at the studio is extremely friendly and my kids absolutely love their teacher and the aide. If you are looking for a dance studio, I highly recommend you check out Donna's.

The building is so big and they offer many summer art classes so check out the website to see what they have. Events are held here all summer, mostly weddings. I went in to see the printmaking lab, I mostly do screenprinting but they don't have the light tables or screens here. The receptionist was so helpful and said that there would be printmaking classes over the summer and to call one of the directors to see what they might be able to do for me in regards to the type of medium I want to work with. If you need a place to do intaglio or relief printing they have a great space to print!

For starters, I have absolutely no experience when it comes to dancing... I was extremely nervous to attend the group classes. Our instructor, Alexa, was PHENOMENAL!!! She was so welcoming and stayed upbeat throughout the duration of the class. She went over steps multiple times, which allowed us "newbies" time to adapt to the steps. After learning the steps, she would have us do them to the music and rotate through partners. It was a bit weird at first to dance with someone other than the person I came with, but it definitely encouraged me to try harder for perfection! The classes flew by, and were honestly so much fun! I would recommend Arthur Murray Pittsburgh East to both newbies and experienced dancers. They offer advanced lesson and private classes as well!
