However, it appears that the studio is still run and owned by Robin. I have the most amazing memories from my time at WCDA, and for that I'm extremely grateful. I remember that the instructors were so kind, the studio itself was beautiful and in a great location, and the recitals were organized and well-produced. I praise WCDA for instilling a sense of positive self-esteem in their students and providing such a sacred space for creative self-expression. I'll never forget the pure joy and excitement I felt on the day prior to our recitals that they hung up the photos of our dance recital costumes we'd be wearing. So many sequins!

I went on what must have been an off-season day (Thursday night) because based on the one other…read morereview, I expected a packed class. Only me and one other student showed up, and the place smelled like a sweat-fest (those ballerinas before us must have been workin' it). Teacher was casual, a very talented choreographer, and hungry because she kept going to the side of the studio to eat her dinner in between instructions. I didn't sweat (again, I think my body was tricked by the studio's aroma into thinking it wasn't necessary) but I did feel challenged by the routine. Only about 1/3 of the class time was dedicated to dancing; the rest was warm up moves, funkywalking across the floor, stretching, and ab exercises. The music choices were contemporary which was a plus. I would have liked to learn a longer routine than three counts of 8, but its all good.

Twice a week, the long, one room studio fills with something like 20 local women, all ages, all sizes, all smiles. In one hour, your pores will surrender more sweat than you thought a body could produce in below-freezing weather. Share a conspiratorial grin with your fellow salsa warriors as you stuff yourself back into that winter hat and gloves on your way to the parking lot. The day is made.

She had been at another studio since she was three but that studio decided to concentrate on their dance team and she was not a part of that. The students and teachers at ASB welcomed my daughter with open arms. In only two years there she made some very good friends. The students went out of their way to make sure she felt included. The teachers assisted her with her musical theater college applications and even attended her senior high school musical to support her. The other parents were also very kind to me. I love the fact that at the spring performance all of the seniors are given a lead regardless of their level or how long they have been dancing. They honor them all equally. My only regret is that I did not enroll my daughter there sooner.

Walden Pond is a pond, not very different from ponds all over the country. What makes it special is its association with Henry David Thoreau. He lived in a cabin on the shore of the pond for two years, and the pond and his experience living there inspired one of his most famous works, "Walden; or, Life in the Woods." The park has a lot to offer. There are trails, including the Pond Path, which circles the pond. There are beach areas. There is a visitor center, where you can watch a short documentary about Walden Pond. There's a gift shop/bookstore, where you can buy a copy of Walden to read while looking at Walden. There's also the replica of Thoreau's cabin (you can also visit the site of the original cabin). My mom and I visited the Visitor Center, watched the documentary, and enjoyed a picnic lunch on the main beach. We saw tons of people hiking, swimming, boating, kayaking, and more. Walden Pond is a special place - a must visit if you're also visiting Concord for the first time.

The water levels declined significantly from last time i visited…read more The beach is exposed on all sides. While it's great to swim in the water, i notice people are barbequing, grilling, smoking, vaping an playing loud music on the speakers. Even though there are notice boards saying not to. It would be good if DCR stations a few more staff members in the trails and beaches, to enforce the pond rules. The smell and sound was unbearable. It felt like a Las Vegas beach club. Pond was beautiful and quiet, but the crowd environment was not People were also not cleaning up after and leaving piles of food The geese would eat that and get more aggressive

A stroll down the beach offered some very cool finds and the views of the cliffs are awesome. You'll have to get here by car, bike or taxi. The road is marked no mopeds allowed. Tip!!! If you take a taxi, make a designated time for them to come back for you. We were here during the summer of 2020 and due to Covid there were a lot less taxi drivers available. We later realized a prearranged pick up time would've been better than trying to call for a taxi and having a slight anxiety attack because it's an hour walk back to town and no one is answering! Lol! This is a beach person beach as there is no concession stand. The only major downside is no facilities so you know everyone is peeing in the water.

There were tons of dogs roaming about, owners right on their heels, so no worries about unattended animals. Clean(er) ponds, since they're connected to flowing water sources. There was only spot we saw where the water seemed stagnant. Most everywhere else it was relatively clean. It's not crystal blue Caribbean waters, obviously, but for your dog to swim in, it's good. CONS: Parking seemed tight. Found a spot, but it looks like local residents are not happy about street parking for overflow, so there were signs prohibiting street parking. This was at the Drabbington entrance. I'm sure there's another entrance I don't know about. OVERALL: My new gold standard for off leash hiking.

The two lovely dogs are hunting for rabbits.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it became clear to me how much they they are willing to go above the beyond. They provided the kids with online zoom dance classes, challenges, spirit days, socially distant one on one dance pictures in the park, and even planned a virtual recital! This time has been so tough on kids and I really value all they have done to provide some normalcy for the kids. Normally parents are not in the room during class (there are monthly watch weeks on the studios TVs), but with classes over zoom I have gotten to watch more of the class and can also speak to what a good job they do with the insurrection and keeping the kids engaged while having fun.
