PDA is located in the same center as Untamed Chef, Studly Brewing, Pale Horse (OG location) and Kapers Eatery. I frequent this center often and hadn't noticed PDA before, but birthday host told me that it had opened over the summer. The party was well organized with a balloon arch and dance themed decorations (of which I learned they provide). The party table was set up in the front and the kids had free play in the gym/studio that is located in the back. They did a craft and also played games. About halfway, they blew up a bounce house in the gym and more fun was had. It's owned by a sweet family, managed and instructions led by a mom and daughter duo. I believe the mom has experience in cheer and all of the kids in the family was involved in the activities they instruct at the studio in one form or another. They seem to have a packed schedule every weeknight (attached a picture of the schedule) and the prices are very competitive to some of the other studios I have researched! They also have a retail section of gymnastics/dance apparel, so it's a one stop shop! Go out and support this family owned business and enjoy!

I feel like I have gotten more than my moneys worth at every turn and I can not say enough good things about the owners, the teachers, and the support staff. If your kids have any interest in music at all you should check out School of Rock.

The teachers are professionals, they're educated, & they all have a passion that clearly resonates to all the students. They offer a wide range of classes for everyone, toddlers to grown ups. They also are very involved in the community and participate in many parades, and local outreaches; the main one being Disney World. If there is a setback, it would be the amount of money that could add up with tuition, dance uniforms, & props. Either way, this is the best dance school in Hampton Roads by far!

Initially, our experience with the studio was positive. However, when we received my daughter's…read morerecital costume for her performance in June, I noticed It was a bit revealing (especially for a preschooler). Despite reaching out to the school for three weeks to address this concern, we received no response. I have left messages and emails. I spoke to Miss Jessica and she was very dismissive. I will also note that I am not the only parent who had concerns. The lack of communication and customer service is concerning. The manager Miss Theresa is aware of the issue but has not taken any action (none of the parents have heard from her). If you're comfortable with poor communication and disregard for parental concerns, then this place might suit you. Disappointed and won't recommend

Teresa is absolutely amazing , and has taught my son so much. They went above and beyond my expectations, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to take this class this summer.

This is by far the best Cinema Cafe location I've been to in Hampton Roads…read more The theaters are clean, the service is quick, and they consistently have a great selection of new movies playing. My husband and I love a dinner-and-a-movie date night, so having everything in one place is perfect for us. The reclining chairs are super comfortable, especially once you've eaten and can just settle back and relax during the movie. The menu is pretty basic, but that's expected for a movie theater, and it still has some solid options. Some of my favorites are the coconut shrimp and the hot honey pizza. Overall, this is my go-to spot for seeing a movie. Always an easy, enjoyable experience, and I'll definitely be back again soon.
