On a scale of romances to documentaries, Aerial Candy is a picture book with beautiful poses…read more Aerial Candy operates out of Dance Exchange, and the entrance into the space is at the back of the building. There's minimal parking, and you might find parking on the street as well. I took a beginner silks class and an intermediate lyra class. It seemed like our teachers were subs, and I would have been curious to experience a class by the regular teachers (I was only passing through town). Rigging appeared safe, but it was only a cursory look as I felt comfortable with the tricks we were working in class. I greatly enjoyed the other aerialists who were welcoming and fun.

Fun fact-- as a kid, I was a technically trained dancer. From 5th grade through 10th grade, I was a…read morestudent of modern, jazz, African, and ballet. Fast forward to 2023, I'm a 34-year-old 240lb MAN, and I decided to tap back into myself by spontaneously enrolling into a drop-in ballet class on a random cold Tuesday night, and I'm glad i did! The venue is clean and the staff is friendly and inclusive. The instructor, Rachel, was great. The class was packed and for all levels, but Rachel created an environment that made me feel comfortable and took all my nervousness (and low key embarrassment) away. i enjoyed it so much that i took my (clearly out of shape) behind to her Modern Dance class immediately after. And I paid for it... i was sore for days. It felt GREAT! :) Although both classes were for All Levels, I would've appreciated if the instructor showed movements full out instead of marking the steps and throwing us newbies to the wolves. Also I would love for Joy of Motion in general to host more adult beginning-level ballet classes or a flexibility, conditioning, and strengthening class using ballet techniques. Joy of Motion is a beautiful venue conveniently located in the up-and-coming H Street corridor. Overall, I had an amazing first-time experience and i will certainly return.

Had a really great time in Tyrone's Afro Jazz class. The stretching and conditioning portion was…read moreintense for sure, but I felt great afterwards. The choreography was just challenging enough to give me a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day, but still have something to work on at home. I was lucky to be able to take Afro Jazz that day because the class had been cancelled online (I just saw it listed on the paper schedule and decided to drop in). Fortunately, two other ladies missed the memo as well, and we ended up having a wonderful class experience. I had to ding the studio a star both because it was freezing cold in the studio and because it smelled awful when I entered. I understand that many classes share these spaces, but a hit of Febreeze air freshener before and after classes would work wonders!

My nephew is a passionate, energetic, competitive, HIGHLY intelligent (you know, that kind of kid…read morethat asks you huge existential/meaning of life questions while waiting in line at the drugstore) kiddo. The Lab has become his second home. I am SO SO thankful that he has found this community and art form. Breaking provides him with a creative outlet to be both competitive, and an expressive individual while maintaining an over all positive and supportive team outlook. He is no longer crushed by 'loosing'. He appreciates the skills of others and the teachers and older students both support and challenge him. His confidence, humility, physical strength, focus, patience, and empathy have grown enormously. As he is obsessed with break dancing he now has ways of connecting and learning about many other related topics. He has traveled to new cities to watch break dancing, he asks his uncle (my husband - a music producer) about the musical and cultural history of break beats. I also love that The Lab has exposed my nephew to teachers and mentors who externally are different from him (and our immediate family). He is meeting and learning from people of different ages, gender identies, races, creeds etc. Having a diversity of role models and teachers in your formative years is so important! Please keep doing what your doing 'The Lab'! Sincerely, A very appreciative Aunt P.S. It should be noted that The Lab has 29 "unrecommened" Yelp reviews, and they are ALL 5 starts.

The two groups were not split during the night for the dance instruction or activities. For pizza it was not planned to give each kid 2 slices, come on its dominoes pizza give the kids 2 slices. Each kid received 1 slice and then my daughter asked for a second where they responded were not sure everybody can get a second slice. To fix this, the pizza was cut into smaller slices. The movie choice of Leap was great. The popcorn was great. A bit more division by age, skill, and plan to give each kid at least 2 slices of dominoes pizza.

She's had the opportunity to take multiple styles of dance and is now part of the company program, which has been a fantastic experience.

The studio fosters a supportive and inspiring environment, and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a place to nurture their own or their children's love of dance.
