I think it is heinous that this dance studio thinks it is OK for my 6-year old's dance performance to be at 10:05pm. All the family in town (including her younger brother who has begun to meltdown) was too exhausted to even enjoy it.

I took my first class and was a little lost, but within a week or two, I was dancing along with most of the songs! The instructors are all so sweet and welcoming. None of the members have an "I am better than you" attitude. There is no one critiquing your dancing ability. It's like a big dancing family! You are having so much fun that you don't realize that you are sweating! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this place!!!!

The Dance Trance in Madison has instructors that are rather smug. They are not instructors. They…read moreact like they are in a MTV show with the spotlight on them. I took the free one week, and went to several classes. Trying to learn the moves, I would start out at the front, and them somehow would get nudged out by the other dancers, winding up towards the back. One dancer noticed this and said, you really need to stay up front to learn the moves. This "nudging out" happened in different classes with 3 different instructors. These instructors should have made note of new people in the class, and invite us to the front to better learn the moves. This did not happen because these people are nurses, attorneys, etc. and not instructors at all.

I would like to share our outstanding experience at Ace Cheer Company of Huntsville! This is their…read morefirst year and it has been organized, professional and lots of fun! My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed her teams that she competed on for all star cheerleading. The coaches are like family and really work with each child to help them reach their ultimate best! They have coached National ranked high school and allstar teams in their first year of existence. I recommend everyone that is considering tumbling, cheering, dancing, etc to try ACE of Huntsville Cheer Company! It is a safe environment, good friends, lifelong memories and amazing fun! I love the way that Ace supports the community through shoe drives, relay for life, children's cancer events, and supporting all school activities.

My niece is 4 years old and is enrolled in ballet and loves Cinderella and all things princess. My sister called to see about tickets and information and was treated with the upmost respect and kindness. Turned out for the price of $30/ticket we were able to get a special package. It was the Royal Ball package. My niece was able to dress as her favorite princess, go on stage with all the other little ones for a princess parade, meet the characters, had pictures made by a professional photographer with Cinderella (which we received free of charge with the package 5x7), we were served royal refreshments (glass slipper cookies, fruit, cheeses, and punch), and all the children received a goody bag with a glass slipper keepsake. It was amazing. They also give each child a week worth of free classes at their ballet school. The staff were all above and beyond what is required. They greeted all the children and adults with special thanks and appreciation. My niece definitely got the royal treatment! She loved being addressed as princess (which all the staff did). The performance was second to none. The acts were brilliantly placed and the ballet was beautiful. I have never been to a ballet program, only plays, but this show was great! Even though it had no words or talking the picture was perfectly clear. Would highly recommend this show and I am looking forward to watch another!

A shining star in north Alabama. Philanthropists Allan and Debra Jenkins had a vision to transform…read morea boarded up building in a neglected part of town into a performing arts center to rejuvenate the area. They used their own time, energy and finances to renovate the building and opened to the public in 2007. After several years, Mrs. Jenkins, through a series of occurrences, realized that local children and adults with special needs can rarely, if ever, take performance art classes. My daughter, for example, tried a local performance art studio but didn't fit in because she wasn't intellectually on par with the others. The Jenkins' ended up starting a day program for adults with special needs and an after school program for children with special needs. My daughter enjoys it so much that her acting classes are the highlight of her week. The program is 5 stars -- the participants all love it and there's simply nothing else like it around. Special needs kids and adults have such pure hearts and are accepting of one another as they are. If only the rest of the world can be that way! The productions are top-notch and the facility itself superb, complete with a 300-seat theater and state-of-the-art technology, such as closed captioning above the stage. Shows are open to the public, too; it's not just for participants' family and friends. In addition to the special needs productions, they have special concerts and events throughout the year... even Billy Bob Thornton, who is a supporter of Merrimack.

This is a nice tennis center! I played here indoors when it was HAC (Huntsville Athletic Club)! The…read moreindoor courts are so nice! The players there are all mannerly and have good sportsmanship! It's always fun to get a drink and watch the Indoor players from the glass walled indoor restaurant upstairs that overlooks all the indoor courts from the second floor! One of the USTA pros who works here, Chris Shearburn and I played on the same tennis team at UAH. Go see Chris, he is good people and a talented athlete! The dressing rooms are nice. I can't speak to the gym because I never used it and although they have 6 indoor tennis courts (they are hard courts), 15 outdoor clay and hard tennis courts (all of which are lighted), 6 racquetball courts and 1 squash court, they have over 42,000 square feet of indoor space dedicated to racquet sports, I can't say with certainty I played on the outdoor clay (really Rubico) courts. They have a dedicated staff who really makes this club shine! I played here solely as a guest so I can't speak to the membership costs or benefits. I'm really proud of the revamp of this center in 2010! Well done good people! It's also an event center (think private parties of all sizes or a rehearsal dinner) and hosts fun events including pickleball. Thanks for promoting the sport of a lifetime in Huntsville!

I joined the Huntsville Athletic Club of Alabama after relocating for work, attracted by its…read moreimpressive facilities and tennis clinics. To participate, I was required to sign a membership contract. Over time, I spent nearly $500 on clinics, around $1,000 in membership fees, and more on food and other services. Six months later, I had to relocate to Georgia for a new job. When I asked to cancel my membership, they insisted on a $250 cancellation fee. Considering my circumstances and how much I'd already invested, I expected a more understanding response. After looking into Alabama law, I discovered that under Ala. Code § 8-23-4(6), health studios are legally required to allow contract cancellation without penalty if a member relocates and there's no affiliated facility within 15 miles of the new address. I brought this to their attention, but they ignored it and even denied being a registered health studio--despite being listed on the Alabama Attorney General's Health Studio Registration. Not only is their behavior unethical, but the contract they make you sign is voidable under state law. They try to sneak in additional fees or clauses to make it seem enforceable, but legally, it's not. They rely on customers not knowing their rights. I disputed the charge with my credit card company, but the club's filing department denied it. Don't be fooled by the friendly faces or flashy courts. When it matters most, this club will put profits ahead of people. I recommend considering other tennis facilities in Huntsville such as: * Huntsville Tennis Center - A public facility with 36 courts, lessons for all ages, leagues, and tournaments. * PlayYourCourt Huntsville - A flexible option for lessons and community play with certified instructors. Choose a facility that respects its members and the law.
