However, the coaching team (Junior Pee Wee level) was outstanding. They were very patient with him, worked with him to improve his skills and made him feel welcome to the team. After a lot of hard work on his and their part, he eventually made it to the starting D-Line and we are very proud of him. The other parents were great! It was a solid team effort all the way around. It was a rewarding and valuable experience and I recommend it for all parents with sons. He grew incredibly in the season's 4 months and we'll be back again next year! Disclaimer: Following our good experience my wife volunteered to become a new 2010 VCPW board member.

She is attentive to all the kids in the class and makes sure each one is doing the exercises correctly and safely. At other gyms, it was obvious some of their staff just didn't want to be there. The location is great, because it's near stores and restaurants if I'm running errands. My daughter is thriving and always excited for class. I haven't written any negative reviews of other gyms since I figured parents would do their own due diligence. I would highly suggest looking into the gyms yourself, because our experience was much different at the gyms we toured.

THIS IS BY NO MEANS ON THE INSTRUCTORS I think they are all so sweet just not familiar with the mind of an active toddler who just learned how to walk and run. There was not much interaction with music, they spent half the time on technical moves and structure. Maybe this is on me but I thought it would be more fun loving and carefree. We also were doing this for socialization and there are not other kids. One thing that did irritate me was at the end of the class that we were the only ones signed up for she suggested we come to a class at a different location to see how class is with "more well behaved kids". Well the class she suggested has a 7 and 10 month old. My daughter would have done great at 7 and 10 months too because she wasn't running at that point. My suggestion is if you don't know toddlers maybe don't offer classes for them or get instructors who have worked with or have toddlers and understand their attention span. Also. It was very hot it in studio my daughter downed her water we asked if they had a place to fill up and she told us to go to the subway next door. So just bring a lot of water on the summer days

It's small, clean, and so cute, with pink and purple walls, framed tutus on display, and high-quality dance wear and accessories for sale. There are seats so parents can watch and be the "audience." It's so much fun to watch the classes, and my girls love the encouragement. The teachers are amazing! We've been in Ms. Ava's Primary Ballet class for the past year and a half, and we absolutely love her. She keeps every class fresh by including engaging games and fun stretches into every class. She is so kind, patient, and encouraging, and does a great job of teaching all the dance moves and building students' confidence. She also spends a lot of time practicing the Bravo Bash dances, and my girls always feel super prepared for their recitals. A few words on the recitals: The Bravo Bashes are so much fun. They're the perfect, low-stress way for kids to build their confidence dancing in front of an audience without a lot of added pressure. All the rehearsals are done during class time, and students can sit with their parents in the audience until it's their time to perform. The performance fee is super reasonable compared to other studios, and students get to keep their adorable, high- quality costumes. All in all, Tutu School is a win!!

They took their time to carefully understand our previous pregnancy and birth experience and supported us in forming the birth plan we were most comfortable with. During labor, Louise's steady presence and calm, reassuring energy made all the difference. She knew exactly when to step in to offer guidance or helpful suggestions, advocate for our needs, and even when to lighten the mood with her wonderful sense of humor. At the postpartum visit, Louise continued to show her sweet, supportive, thoughtful nature. She checked-in on all of us, answered questions, and made sure we were adjusting well to a new family member. We couldn't have asked for a better team to support us through such an important time in our lives. We would absolutely recommend Louise and Emry to anyone looking for a doula.
