Prior to attending I thought $35 per adult was a little much until we got to experience it. It was worth every penny and then some! I'm already looking forward to next year!

Have you ever wanted to learn how to belly dance? Do you like dancing to middle eastern music,…read moreShakira, etc.? Do you wanna feel super-sexy and have fun getting in shape at the same time? Then Shimmy Fitness is just for you! The Shimmy Fitness instructor, Malia, will teach you how to pop those hips, shimmy those hip scarves, undulate that stomach, and move that veil. You'll be sweating and feeling great in no time. By the next day, you should definitely be feeling the ache. But that's a good thing! The class style is that of a monkey see monkey do kind. She starts the music, shows you some moves, and you follow her lead. She'll take you through the basic moves for that song, and then she'll step it up a notch by doing it all in one movement and perhaps a little faster. One of my favorite parts is when we get to dance with the veils. No, it's not like a wedding veil, it's more like a super-thin drape that you get to dance with. The veil-dancing will definitely work out those arms. You'll be wishing you were back to only hip movements! But then again, once you see your toned arms, you'll be glad you get to dance with a drape! Individual hour-long classes are $15 each, while a Shimmy Pass with 4 classes on it is $50. You get your first class for free either from checking in on Yelp, or going to the Shimmy Fitness website: http://www.shimmy-fitness.com/Shimmy_Fitness/FREE_1st_class.html, or by just calling up Malia and asking her about it. If it's your first time going then arrive 10 minutes prior to class so you will have time to register. When you do decide if you would like to buy a pass, Malia accepts credit cards, cash, or check. Aerobic shoes/dance shoes are allowed, but so are bare feet. Wear cool, comfortable workout clothing, bring a water bottle, and get ready to sweat! Yelp365-#020/365

Mariah will be in France for the summer but will return to the studio in August. =)…read more I still cant believe she used to cry at the first few Saturday classes she went to 3 years ago. Mariah (now 7) had such an amazing time at concert and already told me she wants to be in every single number next year LOL. I wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for everyone at the studio doing what you do for all of the students. I will definitely volunteer in the dressing room again next year and I will have a better idea of the flow. The concert was amazing as always and well worth it in my family's opinion. We look forward to many more concerts in the future. I noticed this year it was a hard to see the "little ones" perform because they were often behind much taller students or far off to the side. That is the one thing I noticed that could be improved on for next year but not a big deal as hopefully we will have the girls taking more classes next year allowing them to be in more numbers. Thanks again for everything, you are ALL very much appreciated! -Christina & Mariah

I never thought I'd be taking salsa, I've never done any dance before and feel (felt) like I had 2 left feet, pair that with a naturally introverted personality and going to my first class was nerve wracking to say the least. About 6-7 months ago from writing this I was going thru a tough time and needed a change. One of those changes was signing up at PLD. I felt so nervous, out of place, and intimidated at first (at no fault of theirs) that I almost quit after a couple classes. But one of my fellow classmates told me after my 2nd or 3rd class that I was already much better, and I decided to stick it out. Now it's my favorite part of the week and I go to as many classes as I can make it to. Give it a try, if you enjoy it at all I highly highly highly recommend getting actual dance shoes, they make it much smoother and easier to do the moves compared to sneakers or similar. If it seems difficult at first, remember nothing worth doing is easy. Stick to it and in a few months you'll feel like a new person!

EVERYONE that works there is so freindly, inviting and helpful. I met with a female, can't remeber her name but it was for personal trainging and she was the sweetest. The owner was extremely pleasent and the environment in general was so welcoming and calm. I wish I lived closer so that I could be an actual memeber here and if my location ever changes, I'd be back in a heart beat. The facilities are also super nice, very clean and everything you could ask for in a gym. THIS is the place to be!

Recently, I've noticed that on my account activity, I've been attending a ballet class. I don't attend those classes, and I've been very careful of not entering a class that wasn't my respective class. I asked someone about this and they told me there was a girl in the ballet class that had the same name as me and they would fix it. Fine. Next day, I see it again, I'm being charged for a ballet class. I'm fuming at this point. I call, they say again, it'll be fixed. It doesn't. Nothing I do is getting this issue fixed and I'm sick of having to call everyday because they're not checking the email of who is checking in. I doubt she has the same email as me, and if I have to keep going through this then I don't think I'll be staying at the studio.

Inner city studios are known for having zero parking, but there are actually a few stalls in their lot + street parking + parking @ a nearby shopping center (shh.) - so many different classes for the keiki AND adults. That's right. I know some of y'all secretly want to appear on world of dance and you can fulfill those dreams here. Classes change around every season for the adult classes, but hip hop 1 and street femme on Tuesday nights + hip hop 2 and intro to hip hop on Wednesday nights are here to stay! - all of the instructors are personable! New studios can be intimidating; here's how to navigate this one: 1. The building is a two-story blue building next to Still and Moving Center. Enter through the right door that has a small Honolulu Dance Studio sign on it. 2. You'll see a narrow stairwell on your left. Walk up the stairwell, put your outside shoes on the shoe rack on the top, and slip your dance shoes on (yes, you need indoor shoes specifically for dance, whether that's ballet slippers, jazz shoes, indoor hip hop shoes). 3. Walk over to the registration table on the left and fill out a clipboard to get yourself/your child registered + pay. 4. Wait until the dance instructor calls you in, put your water + belongings on the inner racks, and have FUN! Hope to see you in class!
