It's just one stop away on the red line from Harvard, so it's a convenient option for students. It's $15 for the samba class, but they'll take cash and credit card. There's a Santander right across the street if you need an ATM, since some of the classes are cash only. Note for Bank of America cardholders, there is a $3 ATM fee. There is a gender neutral bathroom available The 1:30-3pm Samba class was super fun. It was my first time doing Samba, but the teacher was super energetic and there are plenty of other beginners so you don't have to feel awkward. You can put your stuff on the right hand side along the wall, and there's plenty of mirror space so you can watch yourself shake it. There were people of all ages and it was good vibes all around. It started with a warm up and then payment, and then the actual Samba class. There was even a live band that played while we danced. At the end, there was a dance circle and everyone left sweaty but happy. The dance center overall is a cool spot and you can try out a number of different dance styles and classes no matter what age you are. I noticed on the bulletin board they have kid classes as well.

My main complaint about this studio is that they don't have air conditioning, so taking class…read moreduring the summer when Boston temperatures are in the 80s and 90s can be extremely unpleasant and tower fans are just not sufficient. It can be uncomfortable just to be standing in that kind of weather, let alone doing cardio for an hour plus. Honestly, this seems irresponsible to me, and I'm confused by the fact that they don't seem to be concerned about heat stroke. There are definitely days when the only reason I don't go to class is because there's no AC. I also wish they had contemporary classes (they have one "contemporary modern" once a week, which is not the same as contemporary).

I hired 4 lyrical dancers from Urbanity Dance to perform freestyle solos as part of a surprise…read moreflash mob proposal for my partner, and I couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. The dancers were super professional, dressed elegantly, and really breathed life into the song that the orchestra (hired from a separate company) played. I paid a flat rate per dancer, which included the performance and 50 minutes of rehearsal time before the proposal to give the dancers a chance to rehearse with the orchestra since they had not worked together before; Urbanity Dance was worth every penny and then some! The final performance was exactly what I had envisioned, and I especially appreciated that the dancer who performed last (Joy) finished her solo with a "lyrical invitation" for my partner and I to follow her to the predetermined proposal spot - this aligned perfectly with the music as it was fading out, and allowed for perfect photography/videography coverage - plus the two of us were in such a daze as everything was happening that we definitely needed the clear guidance Joy provided. Big big thank you to my POC, Cayley, and each of the dancers who made this possible: Genny, Katie, Haley, and Joy.

We've been to three so far -- two individual and one group. Judit is a patient instructor, and we're moving along a little better than I'd expected. The only negative is that my wife has unexpectedly taken a shine to swing dancing, and it's clear that I'm going to have to try to keep up with her. But Judit swears she has it under control. Maybe I'll provide an update in a few weeks! The studio is inviting and relaxed. Our kids are welcome, and they just sort of hang out in the corner and eat the snacks that are provided. Prices seem reasonable, and she's been accomodating about scheduling the individual lessons at times that work for us. We'll give it a week or two more, then try one of the dance party practice sessions. Wish us luck!

A Life-Changing Dance Journey with Amy Baker…read more My girlfriend and I started our ballroom dance journey with Amy Baker at Super Shag Dance Studio in Charlestown, Mass., as a Christmas gift--a small package of five initial lessons. Honestly, we went in thinking it would be a fun, temporary activity, but we were completely wrong! We enjoyed those first few classes so much that we immediately signed up for more. Now, three years later, we are still going strong with our weekly lessons, and we couldn't be happier. Amy is the heart of our continued passion for dance. She is incredibly energetic, always bringing a genuine happiness and positive vibe into the studio that is truly infectious. More importantly, she is exceptionally kind and patient. Whether we are struggling to nail a new step or just having an off day, Amy approaches every moment with encouragement and clear, patient instruction. Our weekly lesson with Amy is now a highlight we look forward to every week. We've not only gained confidence on the dance floor but have also found a wonderful person who genuinely cares. This isn't just our opinion, either; I've personally referred several wedding couples to her, and every single one has come back raving about the exact same qualities: her energy, kindness, and patience. I can easily say that Amy is not just our phenomenal dance teacher, but she has become a dear friend. If you are considering ballroom dancing, whether as a gift or a serious new hobby, look no further than Amy Baker--she's the best!

Admit it... when you see a group of elementary school aged kids, you might think to yourself: "Oh…read moreno!" It was school vacation week, and I was at a cooking presentation at the Boston Public Market, and yes, there was a load of kids there. 25 to be exact. With 3 adults. They took the subway all the way out from the East Boston YMCA. They were great. They were in their seats, answering the chef's questions, using their inside voices. Their adults were great. Rather than having the kids come up for their samples, they served their kids their plates and water. And at the end told the children clearly what was expected of them - you are going to put on your jackets, wait at your seat till it is time to get into your assigned groups, and say "thank you."
