She was looking for adult dance/ballet classes & I recommended her to go to Symmetry Dance Wellness! I, being a former dancer & a current aerialist, have trained with Kip in the past when I lived on the East Coast.

He takes the time to teach you the history, rationale and purpose behind every move which helps to make the study of ballet so much more enriching than merely taking a class. He is such a master of ballet and it is an honor to take classes with him.

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 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!

Disclaimer; I've been to several pole dancing classes…read more We went as a group of 6 for a one hour 11am class on a Sunday. The class was just okay, I felt like we stretched for 10-15 minute, which I felt was extensive. The instructor was nice but I felt she could have done better with less individual focus and better memorization of the moves. For every move she wanted everyone to one by one reenact the move, which took up a lot of time. It felt like she was singling out each person. She also forgot the routine moves a few times. I felt like it was a class for senior citizen or kindergarten. It was still fun to do as a group, which is why I gave them 3 stars.

I've been going to this pole studio for about four months now and let me just say this studio is a gem! My pole style is low flow, stripper sexy flow, floorwork tricks, flexy, liquid motion"-y with a little bit of booty-poppin' r&b and hip hop and this is the gym for me! This pole gym is not cirque/burlesque. The icing on the cake is that the owner (Lydia) is not only so talented, but she also genuinely cares about her students. The community of positivity and support between students is also priceless. 10/10.

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.

She treats them all as her own and pushes them to strive way beyond their own expectations. The students that attend this studio are encouraged to set high standards in both their academic education and dance education. The teachers are amazing and from all different dance backgrounds. The teachers work extremely hard, building the minds and bodies of the students, while encouraging the students to enjoy dancing. It not always easy and you have to be on pointe (lol). They are dedicated in making sure the students are strong and developed in their technique. The studio is very welcoming. You will always find a parent willing to help or share. For your convenience, supplies are available at the studio. Items may be ordered if out of stock and available to you within a short period of time. Everything you need is at your fingertips. My daughter goes through a lot of dance tights and I have been able to walk in and purchase a pair whenever needed. Living Arts has allowed my child to obtain amazing dance techniques and become well educated in the art of dance, all while creating the most incredible bonds with old and new friends. She's an only child with many dance sisters. I couldn't ask for a better group of friends or adult role models. Wait!!!! They also have DROP IN CLASSES for adults!!!! Ms. Jaquetta has drop in classes for adults from ballet to hip-hop to African. I took one African class so far. Looking to taking another in the future. I encourage anyone that is interested to come learn a new dance and come make a friend or two. You will definitely have an enjoyable workout.
