My two year old daughter and I attended the Mommy & Me class and it was super fun. Compared to other Mommy & Me classes in the area, it is certainly the most affordable, only $40/6 week session. They offer dance classes for all ages. Everyone there was very nice, especially the owner, Stephanie. They are offering various summer camps and they work with the Manor Schools to provide classes during the school year. Check them out on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/centerstagedancevb

My daughter and I love this place! The staff is nothing short of amazing!!…read more My daughter took her first ballet class last year. She then wanted to try hip hop so I put her in the summer camp for hip hop and she loved it. Well when the time came to re register her for fall classes, I took too long and the classes filled up. I wrote the staff explaining how much she really wanted to be in hip hop. Next thing I know I got an email confirming the hip hop registration. I love how involved the staff is with each and every student. I love that anytime I go in to pick my daughter up from class, it's nothing but positive enegery. I love this company and I dont ever see us leaving.

I danced at Bobbi and Helen for 16 years. The only reason I stopped is because I moved away - I…read morewould dance here for LIFE if I could. Bobbi & Helen is a true family. I knew that when I moved away, I would never find another dance studio that compares. The teachers are amazing, the classes become families, and the recital's are always so fun. The recitals are once a year, and they're always an amazing, broadway-style production. They're on the big stage (Harrison Opera House or Chrysler Hall), costumes are carefully selected, and the production of the show is NEXT LEVEL. I recommend everyone attend and sign up their kids (boys and girls!) for dance classes at Bobbi and Helen. It is so worth it, and the greatest memories will be made.

Cancelled summer camp at the last minute in 2020. Covid was clearly a factor but waiting until the…read morelast minute and then citing a family issue in addition was ridiculous. The sudden news came with a promise that the multiple deposits could be moved to 2021 but they couldn't afford to refund my money. Pretty awful considering I then had to find 3 weeks of summer camp at the last minute for my two children with almost no notice and down a few hundred dollars. I email immediately that I would not put my trust In them for any future sessions, no response. So 2021 rolls around and I send numerous emails requesting my refund for the previous years camp hoping they can "afford" to return my 6 deposits rather than steal my money as a punishment for their business' poor performance- nope. They do not even acknowledge my emails. Pathetic. So I can't speak to what kind of service they might provide but beware giving them any deposits Bc if they decide to cancel your service- they'll collect your money with zero regret or ethical consideration. Being involved with other dance studios, I've never seen something more selfish or unprofessional.

The staff has never once been anything less than amazing, and my daughter has been coming for two years. The teachers are patient. The studio is well kept.

Now this is where you go if you want to do dance seriously! I used to take lessons here for about…read more11 years in ballet and hip hop. Now, my little nieces go here for ballet. I have gone to other places dance recitals where there is clearly a lack of quality compared to here. Lessons. Typically an hour long. They will place you in class according to your dance level. There are classes that range from 3 year olds to older adults to teach you an array from ballet, hip hop, jazz, lyrical, tap, acrobatics, and more. The instructors who teach have been doing this for years! As for the little ones, you'll be amazed at how much they learn. The instructors are quite good with kids and reward them with stickers for good behavior. Lessons are typically held during the school year, but they also offer summer workshops. Also, if you refer other people to attend the school, you will receive a discount! Pictures. Pictures are always professionally done around the beginning of spring or so. I typically got a package of individual and group photo. You can see past group photos once you walk in the building to see what kind of quality you'll be getting. Recital. Recitals are divided according to level: Petite, Intermediate, Junior, Senior. So far they have all been held at Willet Hall in Portsmouth. The opening performances for each recital level are usually done by the Senior company which goes to show what level you can achieve if you keep at it... quite inspirational. By the end of the year, you truly see quality that you pay for. Overall, if you have a kid that is serious about dance, this is the place to go!

When my 11 year old Grandson comes from Brooklyn he doesn't want to go to the Beach. He wants to…read morego to the pool at the Rec Center. He loves it. That says it all about the pool. A wonderful benefit of my Medicare Supplemental plan is free access to lots of gyms, including the Rec Centers. So I get free cards without having to pay the city resident's annual fee. Recently my use has been limited to watching from the bleachers while my son & grandson swim. Also I love early voting at the Rec Center. In my earlier pre knee replacement days & before retiring I would walk to the Rec Center to both swim & use the machines in the work out room. The pool is great for water walking & other non impact exercises that I learned in a pre knee surgery physical therapy program at another facility. The machines in the weight room were also knee strengthening learned from previous Physical Therapy. Because of the swim teams & classes offered I learned the best time for the pool was when the Rec Center first opened for the day. There were always tons of people waiting for the door to open. The crowd mainly consisted of seniors who would go to the pool every day or do gym walking decked out in fashionable sweatsuits, probably widows or widowers trying to attract a new spouse. The Senior crew that chose the pool didn't interfere with any of my exercises. There was a group who spent their time in a circle treading water & gossiping. Since I knew a few I was invited to join, which I did from time to time. Those sessions provided me with all the scoop on everything happening In Bayside at the time. The crowd left when classes began, which gave me time to get home & ready for work. The weight room is well stocked with equipment on which one had to do a short training session before using. The early crowd there consisted of buff guys who wanted to work out before work. The Rec Center consists of much, much more. There are a plethora of classes ranging from Crafting to Yoga & Pilates, which I really should take advantage of. Workout groups are offered. There is a racquet ball court that seems very popular. Adjacent is a disc golf center. The very large indoor pool offers an open area, swimming lanes, diving section & much, much more. I wish it had built when my son was young & was on a nearby Bayside neighborhood swim team. The bleachers & lounging area outside the pool window wall offer a great view for parents to watch. It's such a wonderful facility to be in the neighborhood. Thank you Virginia Parks & Recreation.
