Our goal is to give each individual dancer the tools they need to take dance as far as they dream to take it. We believe that if you can dream it, you can achieve it! We also run a mobile dance program called Dance With Me, where we bring dance classes to local preschools!

When they opened the location in Bethlehem in 2019 we switched. The studio is gorgeous! Clean and bright. Professionally sprung marley dance floors to prevent injury. You can tell because there is a ramp to get into the dance rooms. They have 5 dance rooms, boys and girls locker rooms, bathrooms are very clean, a kitchen area where kids can eat between classes, do homework, or just hang out, very large waiting room complete with several tvs to watch the classes going on. They are very reasonably priced and offer a huge variety of dance styles from 18months to adult. Tots in tutus and ties, fundamentals, jumps/leaps, stretch, ballet, pointe, jazz, contemporary, tap, hip-hop, modern, musical theater, acro (certified), urban fusion and Afro fusion. The teachers are wonderful! Everyone is treated like family. It is such an inviting place to be! CDA has instilled not only a love of dance for our daughter, but also built up her confidence and gets her involved in many community events through their dance company. She has even received scholarships, one being for a dance director in NYC. If you haven't checked them out, what are you waiting for?!?! Join the CDA Family and experience the difference!

We found Miss Jeanne's to be a very disappointing experience. We read many great reviews about the…read moreplace, so we confidently chose it as where to enroll our 3 year old girls for their first year of dance lessons. The school, for us, seems to be largely riding on its legacy. Many of the other parents at the school were dancers there previously, so as "outsiders" we often felt out of the loop and that a lot of the things we needed to know weren't widely broadcast because it was seemingly assumed that we just knew what was going on. Our girls started in September, but in January we discovered we had not been receiving any email communications from the studio. Mistakes happen, but the dates and times of the year end recital had changed, which meant family who wanted to come see the performance didn't have enough notice to change their schedules; had we received those initial emails in the fall they would have had time to adjust their vacation schedules. Once we began receiving emails it still seemed as if we would only get some of what was sent out as more often than not we should show up for class with some kind of special event going on that we had no clue about (and yes, we regularly check our Spam so the communications were not ending up there either). Also, whole emails were used sometimes important announcements were just made to the parents in the waiting room, meaning if you weren't there or stepped out to run an errand during class you missed out and had no way of knowing what, if anything, you might have missed. Overall, the communication from the studio to parents was very poor. While communication was one big issue the larger one was that parents were really just viewed as means to write a check every month. Parents were forbidden to go in to the dance studio (beyond the waiting room) and to talk to the teachers. While we certainly understand the problems of having parents in the studio creates and that you can't have a line of parents harassing the teacher after lessons, causing the next hour of lessons to run late, it's problematic when you are dealing with 3-4 year olds who aren't the best communicators. We never got any kind of feedback or assessment from the teacher or studio as to how our girls were doing in class, if or what they should be practicing at home, if they possessed any natural aptitude for dancing, and if they even seemed to enjoy it. For older students, that's not a problem, but for the parents of toddlers it's a very frustrating place to be. Our girls often seemed reticent to go to class saying they didn't like it, but then would be very excited and happy after class, so who knows. We eventually got frustrated enough with the place that we pulled our girls out in April because we were over not knowing how or what our children were doing for that hour each week they were in class and because we continued to receive very poor instructions from the studio about what was expected of us / what we needed to do. One week they were supposed to show up in full recital attire. We never were told they needed to do so that week and then were given the hasty instructions of "just dress them up next week" without any specifics of what they should wear, how their hair should be, or what make up they needed. Again, it was all assumed that we just knew all these details. As far as I can tell, the teachers do a good job with the students. Our girls, over time, did show us some steps they learned and they even performed their routine for us after we un-enrolled from the school. We felt horrible about doing so since they had worked hard all year, but we had no confidence that we would actually receive the instructions and feedback we needed to put our children in a place to succeed at the recital. The older students who were there seemed to really like it. For us, though, the school seemed very focused on the competition aspect of dance and less on the artistic expression aspects. Our perception on that might be incorrect, but that was just the vibe we got, which was also not what we were really looking for in a dance studio. In any case, if our girls decide they want to continue dancing we will find a different dance school to take them to.

I came to my hometown for an extended stay around Thanksgiving and needed to find somewhere to…read moreworkout. The yelp reviews of the Yoga Loft led me to purchase a 5 class package. I enjoyed the ease with which I could go online and reserve my spot in class and pay right there so when I showed up I didn't have to worry about having cards/cash or there not being room, etc. I will briefly talk decor before I go into my experience with the classes. I have done yoga at places all over the US. Where I go now in Chicago is a chain and is more like a gym. It is a new space, has big bathrooms with showers, etc. Yoga Loft is more what I have experienced at local yoga studios. The space is a bit older (downtown Bethlehem on top of a hardware store), but it is homey as opposed to gym like. The reception area has old couches to sit on, the floors are all older wood. The ceiling is popcorn panels which isn't great, but oh well. There are lots of windows to let in natural light. I arrived for my first class and was greeted by the receptionist and given a quick explanation of where things were and how the studio worked. I have taken 3 classes so far and enjoyed them all. I am used to yoga that is flow and designed more for a workout rather than the spiritual or mental health side of the practice which is where the Yoga Loft leans a bit more but I also got a great workout. I started with Level 1 as I didn't know how my yoga experience where I go in Chicago would translate. It was more basic poses and broken down to a slower pace, but we stayed in the poses for a bit longer which made it more of a workout. The classes are also all over an hour which adds to the endurance needed while I am used to 40 - 60 minute classes that are more intense. The second class was a Level 2 class that offered more advanced poses that I am used to. Like the Level 1, poses were held for a bit longer which added to the difficultly. Doing Level 1 then Level 2 on back to back days definitely left my legs and triceps sore, in a good way. The third class was actually on Thanksgiving and as it was open to all, it was more like a Level 1 class, but alternatives were offered to makes poses more advanced as the room's skill level varied greatly (there were around 50 people there!). I really enjoyed this class, especially the partner poses which were new to me. I can't wait to use my last 2 classes in the package and will definitely be returning when I am in the area.

The instructors are well trained and serious about giving you a good work out while making sure that your form is spot on. So there is no cheating :) But they also make it fun!
