However for the foreseeable future this is a healthy place for me to be. The teachers are really good. Its also nice to see people come out of their shells. I have never seen such a safe emotional environment. Its so pleasant that its humbling. When you see all the trophies on the shelves you see it did not come from cracking a whip, but from loving guidance and direction (which may include some whip cracking but they whip you gently so you welcome it). I have never seen so many healthy ppl in my life. The men and women at Dance 411 have redefined humanity for me. While there are different personalities there is a cohesion among the ppl running the place that is really noteworthy. I wanted to check them out before bringing my kid. Now my child has started and Im addicted to going. When I saw how much my social skills improved I wanted the same for my child. Ill go as long as she is happy going. And if she stops I may still go :) Its that pleasant. Oh and they are good! Ladies dont be afraid to let your sons or significant others come here. These ppl athletes the flow is not nightclub. Its a very healthy environment for men because since all the men view you as a potential partner they treat you like you might work together someday. I hve never been in an environment that nurtured my masculinity in a healthy way. And in our society its challenging to mingle with people closely. The environment provides a safe platform to learn about human behavior and in turn have more fun being a human. You will hear popular dance classics like ciara, Classical, Jazz, and the trappiest hiphop all in one place. I have learned to hear new types of music. My emotional IQ is skyrocketing which is helping me to advance at work. I feel like I listen to music in four dimensions now. Since I started I cant stop listening to music. Its kind of a problem. Like I need to do other things. But Everything feels new. Some music that sounded like noise to me sounds amazing because they are teaching me to listen. Good place. I am learning a lot. Including vulnerability. in writing this review :)

I've spoken to the owner over the phone who was really friendly and supportive and the trainer, Charnel is wonderful. Class always starts on time and she keeps us very active. She times our different exercises and motivates us to keep going and at the same time she talks with us about our pregnancy and tells us about her experiences as well. All of the ladies in the class are friendly as well. We do so many different water activities that the hour goes by super fast. I'm going to keep at it until the doc says no. They host the class at different locations and on different days. You have the option to pay for each class (online before hand) or pay for the entire session which covers I think 4 classes. If you pay per class like me you will only pay $17. I can't commit to a full session so I pay per class. They also let you make up classes but only if you pay for the full session.

This is our new favorite family activity... well, other than eating! BabyRoX is still a wee little…read morelad, so there's not a whole lot he can do in terms of activities, but he loves Oh Baby Fitness classes. So far, we've tried the Mom and Baby Yoga and the H2Oh Baby classes. I love the flexible class policy - if you sign up for a session of Yoga, you can skip yoga one week and try out a different class. It's a great way to meet other parents, to work off the jiggle postpartum belly, and...hello photo ops (especially for the H2Oh baby classes - picture adorable babies in floats all bumping into each other and smiling in the pool. Too cute for words!). You can even bring a friend, partner, or grandparent to class with you for no extra cost. And with the 10% discount offered to repeat customers, each class comes to a grand total of $13.50 - about the cost of lunch. And BabyRoX takes the loooongest naps after class, too. At 4 months postpartum, I'm now just 10 lbs from my goal weight, my baby is getting used to swimming, I get my Zen on with the yoga, and we both get awesome naps. And I have some ridiculously cute photos of my sweet boy in the pool with his new baby friends. Totally recommend this to other parents and parents-to-be!

Ballet has truly been a game-changer for me, and The Atlanta Dance Academy has played a huge role…read morein that transformation. I take the Adult Beginner Ballet and Barre classes. Kara Jacobson is a phenomenal instructor, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping each dancer grow. She creates such a welcoming and supportive environment, where I feel both safe and encouraged to push myself. Her focus on technique and alignment is just what I needed as someone starting later in life. Every class is challenging in the best way and leaves me feeling stronger, more graceful, and more confident. What I love most is how this space feels like a true community. The energy is positive, and the staff is friendly. Whether you're brand new to ballet or getting back into it, I can't recommend this studio enough. Coming here has been one of the best decisions I've made for my body and mind. I always leave feeling inspired!

I echo what the other reviewers with no dance experience have shared. If you have never danced…read morebefore this is NOT the place to learn. I called in advance and spoke to Sarah. I shared with her that I had no experience but was looking to learn in a fun environment. She recommended Mr.C's Beginners Ballet. I mentioned that I read the description and that the class was not a 101 class. She was friendly and encouraged me so I thought I would give it a shot. When I arrived I shared with the woman wearing glasses at the check in desk that this was my first time. She was short with me and I had to ask where to go until the class started. I came out before class started and mentioned it looked as though everyone had quite a bit of experience. The three women at the front including Sarah assured me that it would be uncomfortable but to give it a try. I even asked if Mr.C would yell and they all said no. I had and eerily similar experience to the other reviewers with no experience. I was berated throughout the entire class. Even while I cried Mr. C persisted on critiquing me. He moved my head and forced me to look at him. I also lost the will to continue when everyone had to dance across the room. As he was shouting that I had to do it I calmly said I had enough. I went to gather my thing and he thrust his hands at me and shouted, "NEVER COME BACK!" As I put my shoes on in the lobby not one of the three women said a word. I would not recommend TADA. My goal was to learn, not be humiliated. This is not ok for anyone. I have read the review responses on Mr.C's background and I don't think this serves as an excuse for rude and unprofessional behavior. Perhaps just be direct and let adult beginners know that this isn't the place to learn. What I did take away was a reminder that when you are an expert and someone is a novice to always be patient and encouraging. The world could use more patience and kindness.

If you are looking for a work out you found the spot. From boot camp, personal training, small…read moregroups, yoga, spin classes, and more it's available. The motivation from the trainers is unmatched and the hunger to PERFORM can't be found anywhere else. Don't be intimidated by the workout. You will catch on. Just keep coming and eventually you will feel and look like a veteran. This is a judgment free zone and the other members tend to hype you up to encourage you to keep on going when you're ready to quit. There is a child care center available as well and a smoothie shop right next door. The prices are more than reasonable and the experience is out of this world. I hate gyms but some how I'm always upset if I can't make it to Effect at least 3-4 days out of my week.

Overpriced for tumbling training…read more My biggest complaint is that if your child doesn't participate in recitals, parades etc, the coach will leave your child to self instructions. And the main reason we wont let our child participate in recitals / parades, etc., is bc she's not that GOOD! YET!!! But recitals n stuff is a scam to just get more money out of you! But the straw that broke the camel's back is coming right off Thanksgiving they shoved a pack of raffle tickets in my face neatly wrapped with my childs name on it - I asked what if we don't want to participate in that (SCAM) the unprofessional said you have to pay $50. You already know - DECLINE!!!! Next class the coach only let my child practice a few routines. Towards the end the coach left my child standing in line waiting for her turn. The ignored my baby! Finally, my child just left and got her STICKER and belongings and we left. After I witnessed that as I watched from outside through the glass window, I decided to finish the course and w/draw my child. There is no way I will allow them to bully my child ALL bc I declined to sell or pay them $50 for some RAFFLE TICKETS!!! So this Wednesday, they paid my child no attention ! My baby got little practice and was told the training was for kids in the parade (which the coach denied saying it when I confronted her about it). But this week not only did the coach limit my child practice she wudnt even let her get a STICKER - NOPE! THE COACH TOOK THE STICKERS AND STARTED TAPPING MY CHILD ON HER HEAD WITH THEM!!!!! So no I wudnt recommend!
