    Whoever gave this wonderful establishment 2 stars is very wrong this is definitely a 5 star…read morebusiness A very clean and organized place , Dancemakers is a wonderful and very classy and caring dance studio and school for children after school, From Mrs. Samantha helping the children getting smart and preparing them for the future to Ms. BEVERLY CARING FOR the children and being there for them, and The CEO Ms.Robin have a awesome heart AMD compassion that doesn't compare to anyone, If you want your child to succeed in life and to start to love dancing this is the place and if you want them to be very respectful and turn out to be young nice men and woman this is the place, I know Robin and Beverly and Samantha are God fearing woman, When my child attended there she loved it . Please let's stop talking and judging our black owned business when you give bad reviews and talk bad we destroying one another, Also we are stopping her or any black own business income and families sheand they are feeding with jobs and support without customers and business places like this won't survive....I give Dancemakers 5 stars and Seesaw couture as well Stay Blessed Always Think Positively

My daughter's regular teacher was great but she got a substitute one day and she was absolutely horrible with the little ones. Someone stole my 3 year old daughter's tap shoes while she was in class and I had to buy another pair instead of the school accepting responsibility for it. The end of year dance recital is rip-off. 100 for a costume, 80 for a participation fee, 25-30 per ticket, and they tell parents about this 2 weeks before the recital. Let my daughter stay in for the entire class year but next year she went elsewhere

    I joined this studio in 2021 to support a Black woman-owned business, but I can no longer attend…read moredue to severe safety, hygiene, and management issues. I waited until my membership ended to post this due to a documented pattern of retaliation by the owner. Safety & Environment: * Crime: Multiple cars have been stolen or broken into in the lot. The owner did not warn members and was dismissive when another member and I were personally threatened by a man on-site. * Privacy Violations: Members were filmed without consent for the owner's adult subscription site. It took multiple requests to remove the footage, and one member was temporarily banned for complaining. * Harassment: A member used racial slurs and made death threats toward others. The owner did not cancel their membership until that individual was caught stealing from the studio. Facility Maintenance: * Hygiene: Roaches have been observed on site and the owner failed to notify the community. * Equipment: Poles are poorly maintained--some sway, creak, or have cracks. Chrome-allergy risks are ignored as poles are moved without labels. The bathroom is often inoperable (clogged toilet/shower used for storage). Poor Management: * Communication: Benefits (like unlimited open sessions) were stripped mid-contract without notice, and members were penalized for using them. Different members are provided with different resolutions for the same issue. Many are provided with no resolution at all. She has switched the app used to provide studio updates 3 times within the past year and is adamant about her being the one to disseminate information through it, but not receptive to members trying to communicate with her through it. Despite switching the app 3 times she expects people to inconvenience themselves by downloading the app du jour each time and as an incentive offers benefits to members that use the most recent app, even though we all have the same membership contracts and pricing tiers. * Volatility: The owner frequently engages in disrespectful conflicts with students, staff, prospective staff, and guests. She has threatened to call the police on a member for simply raising a system issue. Supporting Black-owned businesses is important to me, but I cannot ignore the poor treatment Black women specifically have faced here. Many polers around the DMV started their journeys at this studio, because it's one of the oldest in the area. Many in the DMV pole community have left for the reasons I shared and more. Please do your research and ask around before signing a contract. I wish I had this information before starting a membership. I never would've signed up if I had known. The studio owner has publicly claimed that she's always seen as the villain and the only members that complain are those that don't get their way. But I think if she took the time to sit and reflect, listen to the community, and not approach every conversation defensively it would be a valuable experience.

    Been coming to My Body Shop for almost a year now, and it's been great! I joined the studio for…read moretheir Lyra classes and their open practice schedule. For a while Colleen was the only Lyra instructor, but now they have Elixir and Lyra Bae as well. Each instructor's style varies and so do their difficulty level. With interest in Lyra still building up in the area, I think they'll have distinguished levels soon. I like to alternate between the Lyra instructors. What I love most about the studio is that it's very client/instructor centered. Schedules and class offerings are adjusted based on student interest and what the instructors want to teach. It really makes for a fun learning environment. Since joining I've gotten the opportunity to try many of their other classes, like Floor F@$?ery, Pole 1, Chair Playtime, etc. All the instructors are great at what they do and offer their own flair to each class. I have thoroughly enjoyed every instructor I've encountered. They really have me considering starting my pole journey! But I will say this: I hate their website but love the mobile app! Once you start at the studio, please download it bc it will make your life so much easier. There is also an online members only chat available. Their memberships are affordable and they constantly share specials and events on their IG.

    I decided I wanted to learn salsa and this was the closest dance studio that offered 1-on-1 dance…read morelessons. I signed up for 4 weeks of lessons/1 lesson a week just to test this studio out. The instructor was amazing. I will give it to her. She can move, dance, and is extremely talented, however, I thought her way of teaching was not easy to follow. She did not know how to explain very well and showed frustration if you did not get a step correct. She did not have any enthusiasm. I had to use my camera phone to take a short clip of some advanced steps and moves because she just could not teach it. Also, I just didn't feel her passion ... it wouldn't hurt for her to put a smile on her face and pretend to like what was doing. All in all, it was an OK experience. I would definitely NOT go back for more lessons. There are tons of amazing dancers out there but what separates the EXCEPTIONAL dancers from the rest would be their ability to teach especially when they are operating a dance studio. I did not show up for my last salsa lesson because of bad road conditions due to snow and she never bothered to call and reschedule. It wasn't that easy to get in touch with her so I just never bothered to get my last lesson in. She didn't care because she had pocketed my money anyway.

PROS NONE CONS The owner Ms. Pernia is very sneaky in her business practice, and she smiles like she is friendly, but she is a fake just out to make a buck. Owner and some instructors are frequently disrespectful without provocation. They force you to make your purchase right there and do not allow you to shop around for items--mandatory items of dance are at 600% mark up! Teachers are awful and if you do get blessed with a good one she will not last! The studio is a sham: they undress right where you wait and sit, everyone can see it all, and the studio is so so small. They force you into these big buck $$$ outfits, shoes all for something ridiculous and in the end the order "never arrived on time". Ya, right. So the poor kids do a show with whatever they have and are crushed. She could care less. Stay away at all costs.
