We showed up here less than two weeks before our wedding to figure out a dance for the big day…read more More so to make sure we knew what we were doing - we honestly didn't think they'd help us choreograph something specific on this short notice. They got right to work. We got 4 lessons scheduled in the two weeks pre-wedding and they helped us execute a pretty flawless (if I do say so) first dance for our wedding. Super kind staff make it very easy and then help you drill in to make it perfect. Highly recommend these folks.

I went here with a groupon, which came with one group lesson and two private lessons. I scheduled…read morethe group lesson over the phone and was instructed not to wear tennis shoes or rubber soles. They also had a 24 hour cancellation notice. Note to people with groupons - ALL of your lessons must be used up before the groupon expires, not just the first lesson. The group lesson was 30-45 minutes long. There were about 6-8 couples and 2-3 single ladies. The instructor introduced us to a few basic steps and had us practice them, rotating partners. Instead of holding hands, everyone touched palms as if frozen while playing pat-a-cake. This weirded me out a bit because I realized I had not touched anyone's palms (boyfriend excluded) in years... hahaha. But I will admit that changing partners was helpful for practicing, especially since the instructor did the man's steps, so we ladies got to practice with the instructor several times. We did the box steps for waltz, rumba, and foxtrot. After the group lesson, you could schedule your two private lessons. Each person/couple also received a sheet where we could note the steps we had learned and which instructor we had; Arthur Murray then keeps this on file. We ended up scheduling our two private lessons back to back, as they were 20-30 minutes each. In the private lessons, we reviewed the steps from the group lesson and learned how to turn and how to place our hands/arms so that we looked more like we were actually dancing and not that pat-a-cake thing. We were then given information on signing up for the real classes and were also invited to join a practice ballroom session where people just show up and dance, with instructors roaming around and helping. I think this might have been included in the groupon. We weren't able to fit the practice ballroom session into our schedule, so we ended up skipping it. I wanted to sign up for classes, but they were kind of pricey. I would definitely need a lot more classes/practice because I have two left feet and also a terrible memory. I get better each time in class, but then I forget the steps so quickly. :( The dance studio is located on Main, north of 11 Mile, across the street from Hollywood Market (and slightly north of it). If you are coming from the north, the building is really hard to see because the Arthur Murray sign only faces south, so get ready to turn right when you see the used car dealership. It's just after the dealership, and it's a brown brick building with a brown roof. For the longest time, they did not have a website, but now they do... finally!

I wanted to update my review for some [slight] changes!... I've been going to Blue Yoga for 2-ish…read moreyears now and still love it. This is the best experience I've ever had at a yoga studio (I've been practicing for about 6 years now ... lived in a variety of different US cities & have pretty much also been to all of the yoga studios in Metro Detroit and this is my favorite). Teachers are awesome! Everyone is beyond nice and the studio is super cute & quaint (it's pretty small but the classes don't get super packed... unless you go to Justin's class). Most classes at Blue are a "guided" heated vinyasa flow - they will go through a variety of sequences with you, but ultimately let you flow by yourself. Pro Tips - Free 2 hour parking in nearby parking structures - Great new student offers - Clean facilities (in my last review I said there was no shower.. and I misspoke, they do have a shower!) - Amazing people that instruct & take yoga here - Take any of Justin's classes! Thanks Blue Yoga, your entire team is amazing!

All of the costumes- 100 each, makeup and hair- 100, shoes- 200!!! The Fusion dance camp costs are well into 1000 for one week, and are MANDATORY for those competing!! We haven't even gotten to fees! For those unfamiliar, it is a family studio, everyone has know everyone forever! As someone new, I felt embarrassed and out of place completely! The people talk behind your back and even had issues where people had to step in..... The place is LOUD and unless you went in person to the place, the schedules online are super confusing!!! The teachers placed top priority on the students THEY liked, aka, who's there longest and who dances the best. I barely improved and learned being there for a year, I learned more watching YouTube videos and had better flexibility stretching on my own. Classes are slow and teachers talk super quietly in class yet scream when they are outside! It is a beautiful studio and a wonderful place, but the people! AGHHHH! I was stuck in the back to walk and pose for my jazz, tap, lyrical and hip hop numbers. The only place I felt truly challenged was Mr.Kevins ballet and Mr.Pauls Acro classes. And don't think your getting all the best choreography. Maddie Ziegler at 8 years old could perform the teen girls (14/15) jazz, over pass the lyrical and tap, EASILY. Those top choreographers? Yeah, only the top get them. The 17 year olds who are the most advanced and have been there the longest or the families that pay the most! I would have gone anywhere else or started earlier or just take tech, ballet and Acro. Watch out!

As other patrons have stated, Monica is one of the most talented dancers I've ever laid eyes on and…read morealso her business practices seem elementary at best. It seems she is not interested in any form of constructive criticism to respect her own brand, as I have just dealt with the exact same experience customers from 2017 and 2018 have dealt with. I've been a gracious fan of Monica's for about 15 years and recently I ordered a 4 pair pack of her dancer socks. I really wanted some and I really wanted to support HER business and get some of her swag. I placed my order on 10/17/22. In all honesty, before my purchase she does explain that prep and shipping can take 6 business days or longer, and I can understand.. i imagined she is a small business and black women do deserve to be human and not robotic. I waited 2 weeks before contacting her via email as I could not find any customer service phone number any where and received no update about my order, even though the receipt email states I should be on the look out for an email when my order is ready. Even on my emailed receipted that I was indeed charged for the product, there is no information outside of an email to contact. The auto generated email stated I should expect a response within 72 hours. That was one business week ago now, 3 weeks total with no response or information about my order. I am so disappointed in Monica's business practices or lack thereof. I've read some of her lengthy reviews, and try to empathize with her experience: the issue is, she does not seem to empathize with the experience, OR LACK OF EXPERIENCE her clients and customers are getting. All those words, and nothing real is being said or any accountability taken. It feels like such a shame, I understand it isn't personal, she is a human and has the right to function however she so chooses and I have to respect that. And, also I have the right to express my dissatisfaction in my experience of her brand.
