Both my husband and I, when reflecting back on our wedding, pinpoint our first dance as the…read morehighlight of our night. Not only did our expertly choreographed routine set the tone for the rest of the evening and shock every one of our guests, but we both experienced a moment where the world melted away and all we saw was each other. Watching the videos of the dance we can hear cheering and clapping, but neither of us have any memory of that occurring while we were dancing. Crystal took two non-dancers and made us look fabulous - more so than we could have ever dreamed! With her expertise and Josh's style coaching we felt so comfortable performing the routine. We could not recommend Crystal and Josh any more!! We are confident that we would not have received a fraction of the individualized attention and choreography had we gone to a run of the mill ballroom dance studio. We loved Crystal so much that we not only invited her to our wedding but plan to continue our lessons with frequent date nights!

If you're from around the area, you might have noticed a familiar barista at a few independent…read morecoffee shops. His name is Taki Tanaka, and he's a master at crafting any coffee you might desire. He can be currently found at the very unique space combining dance and drinking coffee, Garage Dance Studio & Coffee Lounge. While the dance studio and the coffee lounge share the same space, they don't share the same hours of operation. I was here a few months ago, to find the coffee portion in the dark and the dance floor in full bloom! I came again yesterday afternoon, to find the opposite. This time the coffee lounge was open, and no one was on the dance floor. The inside is set to look like you're in somewhere in Madrid amongst the colorful buildings, where the tables are all adorned with red tablecloths. Of course, the barista working was Taki Tanaka. We chatted briefly and he made me the most delightful Honey Fig Latte. It was creamy, foamy, with a beautiful rose art design he hand poured himself. This was mildly sweet, rich in coffee, utterly satisfying with each sip. I just wish there was dance to see.

I decided to order a Chai Latte because I had never tried it before. I don't drink coffee, but the Chai Latte was good. For me, it needed to be a little sweeter, but all in all, it was a Chai Latte. There is also a dance studio located inside the coffee shop. They offer dance lessons, and the inside, from the dance clothes to the others hanging from the window, gives off a Latin vibe.

I have been coming here since 2012, and this is the best gym around for every reason. I have lived…read morein multiple towns, tried other gyms for the convenience of them being closer but always kept my membership here because I love this gym. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The place remains clean, I can always get on the machines I need, the cardio equipment is accessible no matter what time you go, members are courteous, the layout is great and they've also recently redone the bathrooms which makes the place look really nice. Tanning & a smoothie bar is also offered which is a plus. 10/10 would recommend this gym to anyone looking for the best gym around.

I have also been receiving repeated unwanted phone calls despite clearly requesting communication by email only. This feels like extremely aggressive and unfair billing practices.

It is extremely difficult to cancel, and the company continues attempting to charge additional fees even after you request cancellation.

My daughter danced at Newington Dance Center for two years. Jane is an excellent ballet teacher and…read moremy daughter improved in her dancing while with Jane. Unfortunately, Jane's emotional abuse and torment caused us to have no other choice but to leave the studio. Jane is a vicious and petty woman that attacks children's emotional well being during every class. Her verbal abuse and passive aggressive behaviors were so hurtful to my daughter. Jane allowed other students to use foul language towards the younger students and meltdowns were a frequent occurrence from students during class. Janes interactions with me were totally inappropriate and unexeceptable but I tolerated it to give my daughter the opportunity for a first rate dance education. I have debated for months about writing a review because we are so happy to be gone from the studio but I want others to know what an ugly person Jane is and protect other young innocent girls from becoming victims of the owner of Newington Dance Center.

In this day in age it sad to still see people of color be treated different in this studio not only by staff but by director. For such short clases the prices are extremely high and lack actually teaching half the time the director isn't even present to help these children out. Newbies beware they cater to the long members that are part of the family and shunt newbies to make them feel Uncomfortable! Moral is this studio isn't recommended for toddlers and moms who are new to the dance world, Overly priced, awful Communication, and all they care is about money money money

GHDA is the best in the area. My two girls have been going to GHDA since they were 5 and 6 (and are…read morenow 12 and 13) and they absolutely love it. Not only is the owner and staff compassionate and dedicated, they also know how to teach. The girls do not play for an hour (like at many dance studios) - they learn to dance. Every Christmas and birthday- all my girls want is for me to allow them to take another dance class the following year. They absolutely loved that they are challenged, that they are encouraged and that they have to work together with their team mates. The recital is amazing (and so am someone who hates sitting through things like that) and it's only every other year.
