This ain't your momma's old, tired arts center!…read more A wonderful, gorgeous, brand new facility! Beautiful ballroom-inspired decor, tons of classes to choose from for all ages! I've been going to Zumba there, and the teacher is amazing--a woman (Kim) who has had weight issues herself, she knows how to make exercise FUN and yet still push you to really sweat it out! And fancy, pretty bathrooms (cleanliness is important to me); this is not your average high school bathroom!

"Johnny & Lisa Dance " run their ballroom classes through this center. They are a lovely & fun,…read moreenergetic couple that attract the same. I have been to various group ballroom class "social" functions and honestly this is the only one in Naples that I would return to for these reasons: Non competitive environment Organized teaching techniques BYOB / treats etc.. people are real with each other Older children are welcome and encouraged Private training may lead to fabulous competitions in sweet destinations

I was here for a bellydance class I signed up for. $10 a class- pretty reasonable. :)…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, as there are a few classes taking place at the same time. There was still plenty of parking. I was pleasantly greeted when I walked in. There is a table with a calendar of classes and other events. There are large windows into each studio so you can observe the classes and folding chairs. There is an area with a sofa, a few chairs and a coffee table. The furniture was very dated-maybe 1980's style, and there were ratty old ripped sheets covering the chairs. I was not impressed by this, but maybe they are getting ready to replace them, or they are just frugal. Not a big deal as I didn't come to sit. The floors in the studios are wood and very badly need to be redone. I guess I'm used to shiny wood floors in a studio I used to attend. Again, not a huge deal, they just could use a facelift. I guess the only complaint I have, is the mirrors on the walls are not joined together seamlessly. If you are watching the instructor or Yourself to make sure you are doing things correctly, you don't want to have a large seem of wood frame chopping you in half. You want to always see everything in the mirrors and not have that interruption. All in all, besides the facelift it needs, the classes looked fun and interesting, the building has a lot of room and the studio rooms were very large. The people I talked to all seemed very friendly, and the classes are priced reasonably.

It's not all ballet! I took several rounds of Bellydance classes there. I also took Belly dancing…read moreworkshops there. There are beginner and advanced classes taught by Naila. The classes are Choreograghy based so you don't learn as many moves in one class but you will learn to put all the moves into a flowing dance. She is an excellent teacher. When you reach a reasonable level of competecy you can perform either with a troop or individually at one of the haflas she puts on. There are special workshops from time to time with nationally/internationally known dancers such as Ansuya, Alexandra King and Tamalyn Dallal - all were begintermediate level or more advanced- I took classes with all three teachers mentioned above and they were all excellent. The students were all female adults of all ages and sizes. Very nice friendly groups at every class I attended. The facility has two large rooms and a smaller room. The larger rooms have large mirrors accross the entire front wall and Wood floors, although I suspect they are not the easier on your feet raised wood floors. There is a good sized waiting area with comfortable seating outside the class rooms. There are windows that let in natural light and some facing out to the waiting area. The place is well lit inside and out. There is plenty of parking in their private parking lot which faces a busy street and your classmates will be going out to their cars at the same time.
