Back in 1992, I moved from NYC, where I had been teaching dance for 20 years and trained with top…read moreschools like the Joffrey Ballet School, Broadway Dance Center and others. I trained many dancers who turned pro. When I came here, I could not find good schools close to where we moved. I found this school and it was wonderful. My daughter and I took classes there and were very impressed. It was hard to continue because it was a trip from where we lived, and during the weekdays, I was a single mom of 2, due to my husband's work away from home. I opened my own school, locally, and it was successful for 15 years, until I retired from ownership and passed it onto others. I retired, temporarily, from teaching (since 1973) due to bad knees. Once I had them replaced, I called the owner, who is a colleague of mine who had judged for me at my competition, to take some classes to get back to dance. She asked me to also teach. I've been teaching there and am still so impressed with, not only the professionalism, but the moral and ethics, that match mine, that I find are lacking in some schools, I love working there and how she, and the staff, truly care for the well-being of the dancers. Michelle will not abandon her ethics, just to make a parent, or child, happy. Her standards are too high, thank goodness. I am so happy, after the few years I took off from teaching and dancing, to be at this dance school. I love the fact that their annual student demo concert does not charge fees for costumes, or concert fee. Only ticket sales. It is run beautifully, and I love working with professional teachers who think like me and have the background of excellent training, not just as dancers, but as teachers. If you are looking for an ethical school for your child, or yourself, with people who care more about you than what you can bring to them, this is the place. Thanks, Michelle Wurtz, for bringing me on board, in my later years, and giving me back my passion and the joy of teaching, again.

World-class dance instruction. My daughter learns something new every time she goes there. I cannot…read morebelieve how much she has grown since her first few steps in class. The fact that this group has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center and at the Olympics tells me that their instruction and execution is first rate. I will continue to recommend this hidden gem to all of my friends in the area. The low cost for the quality of education my kids have received is amazing. Check them out.

This is my favorite dancing venue in the area. I honestly am a little sad no one has reviewed it…read morealready, but am happy that I get to be the first one. What makes this the best place to dance? Hands down it is the friendly people. Everyone is super friendly and will ask you to dance. Even better there are a lot of great dancers here, but even if you are not, don't worry, the advanced dancers are very nice about dancing with you and showing you moves. The owners of this place, Faryl and Bijal are the sweetest people. What they never complain about and what people almost never see is that often they stay for 2-3 hours after the dance to clean up the facilities by themselves. One night I was chatting with Bijal and decided to stay and help clean while continuing our chat. I looked up and it was incredibly late and we were only half done (needless to say, I stayed and finished helping because I couldn't bear thinking about how tired they both must have been). On a happier note, one reason why it takes so long to clean is because the dance floor and venue is HUGE! It is by far the best and biggest dance floor in the area. Some people like it cozy, but I like room to really dance it out and do all my hand and arm motions without hitting anyone. The place is a little old, but has an old world charm to it. The music is always wonderful, but it is a rotating DJ system. This is a great thing, however, because there are multiple people doing the job, you get to experience a variety of music at a multitude of tempos with a myriad of attitudes. The food offered is usually just simple snacks, but on special occasions, they usually have an amazing spread. A lot of times people will bring their favorite dishes and pitch in. As stated earlier it is a very tight community. I really just can not say enough good things about this place. A quick tip: Although closer street parking is available, there is a parking lot on the corner, about half a block away (I hate walking, so I always take a chance I will find something closer hahaha).

Swing Kat is the BEST!! My husband and I started taking lessons in January 2019 in preparation for…read moreour wedding in August. With the help of group and private lessons, we surprised all of our guests with a sensational dance (that included a bunch of aerials). After our wedding, we continued lessons and will have many years of dancing with swing kat to come. It's a great way to get out and have fun.. even if you're not the best dancer to begin with. All of the instructors are incredible and welcoming. Definitely sign up for a class.. you will not regret it!

Dance One Studios is terrific place to receive a dance education. The facility is absolutely…read moregorgeous, the staff is terrific, and the teachers are fabulous! After 13 years of watching my daughter grow into a BEAUTIFUL, knowledgeable dancer through their guidance, experience, and education, I can honestly say that Dance One Studios of Douglassville, PA has "Raised the Barre" for dance education in Berks County and the surrounding area!

The instructor was unable…read moreto get my daughters attention and was losing the class as the other children were copying my daughter. After class, the instructor pulled me aside and said if your daughter doesn't do better next week I'm going to have to ask you to leave the class. I was totally embarrassed and ashamed that the instructor said this to me. I told my husband and he said that instructor is a joke with no personality. We put her another dance class and she is doing amazing. The owner did apologize to me when I called to cancel her class as I couldn't bring my daughter to this environment! They would have had years of business from my two kids!!!

Soulful yoga studio inside a gorgeous historic barn. All the teachers have high level training…read more I've enjoyed classes during many different life stages- cross training for a marathon, pre and post natal, and as part of a healthy lifestyle. I especially enjoyed attending while I was pregnant because the instructors were so great about keeping me safely active to my best ability, which was something that did not compare anywhere else. My baby is now almost one year old and smiles whenever he hears Tricia or Kim. I love the donation based model because it is so easy to invite a friend to practice. No need to navigate downloading a new app or sign up in MINDBODY. Just show up for class!

There are a bunch of classes listed on their website. I have not signed my son up for a class, but we have been enjoying open tumble for 1-5 year olds. They offer open tumble a few times a month. It is an hour long and it is $6. There are trampolines, ball pit, matts, parachutes, tunnels, and other fun things for your kids to climb and jump and run all over. I love going here, it wears my son out!!!! And he takes an amazing nap in the afternoon!!! The first few open tumbles i went to were fairly empty, but today there was a nice group of people. I have a feeling as it gets colder, it will get more crowded.

These kids were playing rough and running over the younger kids. This was ridiculous. Of course the parents of these older, out of control, kids did not even care. They were socializing and did not want to be bothered with keeping their kids away from the younger ones. Apparently the people who work at East Penn do not care what age group these kids are as long as they collect the $7.00 for these kids to play. I will not subject my kids to this anymore. They have lost my business.

Back then it was group lessons too, with friends, and i learned a lot in a short amount of time. My ex and I didn't dance anymore during the marriage but after the divorce i took up personal lessons again and have been learning ever since. Karmina is a fantastic instructor in both abilities to teach and as a highly valued friend. She learns the best ways to teach me and is just as proud of my accomplishments as i am! She is the absolute best instructor i could ever have the pleasure of learning from!!

5 STARS! My wife and I have been learning Latin and ballroom dance with Karmina for 2 years…read more Karmina is skilled in over 20 dances and her teaching style is tailored to each student from beginner to competition level. Her teaching methodology is most conducive to learning and retaining new material in private lessons and group classes. She also provides flexibility with my busy work schedule and teaches in multiple locations including but not limited to King of Prussia, Norristown, Blue Bell, and Phoenixville. We have danced with other instructors at different studios in Southeast PA and out of state; Karmina is clearly the best. From ballroom to club dancing, Karmina teaches it all at a very reasonable price.

So fun! Lex's acrobatic yoga workshops, held at various yoga studios around Philadelphia have…read moretotally changed my yoga practice by making me much much stronger. I took a recent four-class workshop series at at Ploome in Northern Liberties, but MoDe runs regular Saturday practices out of the Upper Merion gymnastics studio in King of Prussia. Lex and Erin are patient, yet critical. I'd say the instruction follows more of a gymnastics or dance class vibe than a yoga practice. Classes begin with a quick warm up to introduce you to basic postures you'll use for the rest of the class. Within a few minutes you'll be flying with Lex as a base which is a killer core workout, or basing with Erin as a flyer in which case your core, legs and arms will be trembling by the end of class. Flying is joyous, basing will make you feel strong and awesome. Either way, you learn to keep your entire body engaged, and this is what really has impacted my yoga practice for the better. Plus, the learning curve is steep, and the class is ridiculously fun. Highly recommended!
