He takes great care to make sure we are comfortable with the dance moves. He has an incredibly positive attitude, and is patient with us as we learn.

AKT is a fantastic workout! I frequent a lot of the top fitness studios in the city and AKT has…read moresome of the best classes I've tried. The studio design is super sleek and modern and their front desk staff is helpful and friendly. I'm in pretty decent shape since I workout regularly, but I was gasping for breath in these classes. I've taken both their Bands and their Dance classes and they are legitimately hard. Their instructors are upbeat, the music is great and the choreography is on point, which is what keeps me coming back! But if you are a beginner and/or are working on getting in shape, you likely will be very discouraged by these classes. I'm giving 4 stars because of the following: -I'm used to fitness classes where the instructors will offer modifications for certain exercises, but haven't found that to be the case at AKT. -No designated changing area (I have to awkwardly change clothes in the bathroom stall) -The lockers are really tiny and don't fit much of your stuff. Plus many of them are out of order.

The worst decision I've made so far in the past 3 years of my daughter's life was switching her…read morefrom her previous ballet class to her current ballet class at flashpointe dance (because of online reviews). I was just told that she is not welcome to join in the dance recital after investing in the class for 8 months, paying for the recital costume/recital photos and her time! Flashpointe dance fed into every reason why my family encouraged me not to put my daughter in ballet. They expect perfect 3 year olds. My 3 year old ran in class and was recently kicked out of class twice. Then i received an email that she was a danger to other kids and to herself for running so she was asked not to participate in the final recital. No offers to give private lessons, no flexibility and no compassion. My 3 year old is really upset and they have crushed her spirit and mine. To make things worse, grandparents bought plane tickets to come and see this recital. She could not make the rehearsal due to a vacation we planned 6 months ago. They just told us about the rehearsal just a few weeks ago!!! This place is incredibly disorganized, unprofessional and their expectations for 3 year olds is frankly ridiculous. Flashpointe dance- you may brag to everyone that you have a dancer on a major television show but you could care less about my 3 year old or any other imperfect 3 year old who loves to dance. Despite the way you treated my daughter, she still loves to dance and we will find a friendlier, less intense environment.

We had such an incredible first experience that we have been coming back every week for more lessons. Our instructor Dusan is very talented, patient, and enthusiastic.

That was a year and a half ago, and now I can't stop. Sanja transformed me from someone who could barely step onto the dance floor into a confident dancer who has now participated in three dance competitions and a showcase, with more planned. The real challenge comes during the practice parties where you dance with your fellow students. But the studio has fostered a wonderful community of students who encourage and support each other even when you are stepping all over their feet. Learning to dance has been an incredibly rewarding experience, and I'd recommend this studio to anyone.
