My husband and daughter realized the hard way that we were not receiving emails from the school about half way into our second semester when every kid in class was told to wear Halloween costumes and ours was not prepared. We were told it's our fault and not theirs, "must be your spam folder" except neither my husband nor I have anything ever from them except a receipt of payment. We'll once again the school didn't communicate with us that they were going to be closed. I even spoke with the teacher via email the week before. I went through the whole website, and it said nothing about being closed. We structured our holiday weekend around her class and wake her up early to drive the extra distance from Ashburn. The school is NOT worth $325 + a 25 min commute. Will not be returning, but since we were invisible to them to begin with after 2 seasons enrolled, I doubt this feedback will even be recognized.

Zumba is a mix of latin and international dances so it's all about shakin it and enjoying yourself! If losing calories is your goal, this routine can eliminate 500-800 an hour.

I could tell some of the people were regulars but for my first time I felt I could keep up pretty well. I got a great workout and the classes are affordable. She also teaches Zumba Fusion at Pure Heart Yoga Studio in Fairfax, as well as Yava Yoga at Lady of America in Fairfax. Check it out!

I've worked with Daria and Kirill for a long time, and they are absolutely fantastic. Both are…read moresome of the best ballroom dance teachers I've ever worked with: they have an extensive knowledge of dance, and yet keep all lessons fun and engaging. The dance classes I've taken with them (which have involved everything from ballroom fundamentals to rhythm/Latin dancing and even some occasional ballet-type training) have been consistently top notch. Better still, they genuinely care about their students' dancing: you can tell that they spend a lot of time outside of the studio thinking about how to help their students succeed. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them to anyone, from people with no dance experience whatsoever to experienced DanceSport competitors. Daria and Kirill's new studio, Loudoun School of the Arts, is just as amazing as they are. It's massive, bright, clean, and really conveniently-located, making it ideal for anyone in Northern Virginia. Loudoun School of the Arts is also more than a dance studio: it hosts a wide variety of art, dance, and exercise classes, meaning that it feels far more active and diverse than other dance studios in the area. I have absolutely no doubt that Loudoun School of the Arts is going to become a powerhouse, both in terms of the dance world as well as in terms of providing fantastic art classes in Northern Virginia.

They have pole classes and Lyra and fabric - super fun! They may have more, but those are the ones I've seen and considered. Since I'm relatively new to aerial arts, I've only taken a few classes here for Lyra and fabrics, but I have loved the classes. The class size is 6 or fewer, so your instructor has plenty of time to help you if you're lost, confused or, you know, stuck in the air. The instructors are talented individuals who take the time to model the skills and are adept at figuring out how to help you see the skills from different perspectives. They change cues and point out different muscles, movements and positions to cater to the student. There are mirrors in the front of the aerial studio, so, you can see what you're doing. It is helpful, but it can be a little daunting. I've never had a problem finding parking here. The cost is affordable as far as aerials arts classes are priced. There are options for class packages if you are interested in going regularly. Have fun, it's a blast!
