I've taken classes from Vanessa at San Jose Athletic Club and just went to Halanda Studio last…read morenight. She's a great instructor and breaks down movements so you can understand where your body is supposed to move and finally puts it altogether so you can attempt to eventually move like her (or somewhat close to it). She also doesn't expect professional dancing from anyone and lets you go at your own pace so there's all different types of dancing levels in her classes. It's always a fun class and if you haven't done anything like this it's definitely a good challenge workout. And if you're like me and like/appreciate all types of dance this is just very fun in general. It takes several classes to finally get your body to move easily with some moves but once you do it's pretty addicting to keep on going back. I signed up for a 10 class card ($95) so I'll definitely keep going but if you want to just check it out check out her website for drop in classes which are like $12 at Halanda but there are other locations she's been teaching as well.

This is a two part review for Orchid Belly Dance and also for Vanessa…read more Vanessa is a member of Orchid Belly Dance and also teaches belly dance lessons several nights a week. Vanessa is an amazing teacher. She is always positive and even when we drill a move so much that our muscles are burning it is still fun! Vanessa's belly dance classes are a phenomenal work out but also a great chance to truly learn some difficult techniques and learn a dance style that I didn't think I'd be able to grasp at all (especially since I have relatively no dance background and am a bit clumsy). I can honestly say that my belly dance classes with Vanessa are one of the main highlights of my week! :) And fyi classes are extremely reasonably priced!! If you have ever been curious about belly dance I highly recommend trying a class with Vanessa. Orchid Belly Dance is a belly dancing group that performs regularly (once or twice a month) at Thai Lovers Restaurant in San Jose off Piedmont. They also perform at other events and I believe will do private events also. I have only watched them at Thai Lovers. Orchid Belly Dance is so enjoyable to watch. The mix of music is eclectic more than just the typical "belly dance" music and the costumes are amazing! I have major costume and accessory envy every time I watch! :) All of the girls are fun and friendly and beautiful not to mention extraordinary dancers. Every friend I have brought to watch them has had an amazing time and it is the one sure way to get my boyfriend to give up poker night on a Friday. I couldn't possibly say enough good things about Vanessa and Orchid Belly Dance so if you like belly dance go find out for yourself! :)

We truly appreciate the opportunity. He has absolutely fallen in love with gymnastics, and it has been so rewarding to watch him learn, grow, and gain confidence every week. Seeing his excitement and passion for the sport has been incredible. This is a wonderful place for children of all ages and skill levels, whether they're just starting gymnastics or looking to take their abilities to the next level. The coaches and staff create such a welcoming, encouraging, and supportive environment. We hope to continue growing in this sport because my son has shown so much enthusiasm, dedication, and appreciation for this opportunity. Thank you again to everyone, especially Jen, for making this summer so special ! . ‍

Well, 10 minutes on the dot, we got called to leave. We went at a non-busy time so we didn't wait, kids got right on. They have the rules posted so it's pretty clear how to jump on these. Park is pretty small with maybe 12 trampolines pretty close together. I thought it was cool that is was outside and something for the kids to do. I do wish they gave you 15 minutes, 10 seemed shorter than I thought it would. We would go back!

I CANNOT say enough about this program. There are classes in music and dance for preschoolers all…read morethe way to adult, but the flagship program is definitely the Dramafun Players. This is a high quality, supportive theater program that puts on a full scale musical with costumes and sets (show usually is abbreviated, lasts one hour without intermission.) Miniplayers (for little kids) then Dramafun jr players (up to 5th grade) and the Dramafun players (10 years old and up) all participate in the production. It's very high quality. We've tried kids theater programs up and down the south shore, and it definitely one of the best in the area. And to think, my youngest daughter used to be afraid to audition, and my neice used to be afraid to perform!

Beautiful studio! I really enjoyed the restorative class I took here on Saturday afternoon, which…read morewas my first time at the studio. The studio is well maintained and clean and the instructor was friendly and welcoming. There is a water bubbler available with cups so you can have a quick drink of water before or after class and the bathrooms are clean and filled with fun art and inspirational messages. I was a little confused and amused by the random salt shakers filled with glitter in the bathroom- maybe if you want to sprinkle some glitter in your hair before class? Easy street parking out in front. My only complaint is that there was no new student special available other than a 2 month unlimited promotion for $150. Being new to the studio, I would have appreciated the opportunity to try more classes at an introductory price. A drop in is $18. There's a great selection of books, cards and Yoga clothes and products to peruse before or after class. I'll definitely be back! Also, it's in a cute area with many other shops and galleries so lots of opportunities to entertain yourself before and after class.
