Where Goals are Met and Dreams Come True

Tamara Belt: This is a great local dance studio with a committed director. My daughter attended ballet classes here when she was young for various years and she was always excited to see Madame Kramer! The is a wonderful way to expose your children to dance at an early age; and continue until they are ready to leave home. I highly recommend.

Natalie Taylor: Incredibly professional and quality instruction. I took their online adult ballet, and Allison and Irina both were marvelous. Allison clearly set goals for the improvement of her students and was really knowledge about the biomechanics necessary to achieve those goals. I dramatically improved in flexibility and strength by spending mornings with Irina. The Saturday workshops (when I could make them) were informative and fun.

Summer Brouwer: There’s a reason why they have 5 stars! I never had the luxury of attending dance classes. I just moved here cross country and wanted to try a new experience. I was very hesitant, and very nervous, but I bought the new student pass for $100. The pass allows you to attend unlimited group classes for the month. It’s about a week into the session and I am in love with dance! They have many different instructors and many different styles of dance. I felt at ease learning with other students of my skill level and the energy of my instructors helped me feel so comfortable as well. If you’re on the fence about whether you want to try it or not, GET OVER IT! I love it here and you will too!

Victoria Robles: Our daughter has been dancing here since she first started and made point this year, amazing staff, director, and students!

Carolina C: I take adult classes at MYB and my experience there has been truly wonderful. I used to go to the Washington Ballet (TWB), a place I like very much and hold dear to my heart, but since I moved to Maryland, the commute became more complicated. As it is the case with many dancers, we tend to become set on our routines, so I was a bit concerned about finding a place I liked as much as TWB. A few people recommended me MYB as the teachers, level of the classes, and live piano accompaniment were similar to what I was accustomed to. And so far, MYB has far exceeded my expectations. First, the teachers are excellent. They bring a wide array of styles so it’s very interesting to experience different classes. Not only their knowledge and techniques are impecable, but they are kind, compassionate, fun and are very skilled at teaching adults, which requires a certain level of finesse and understanding. I have been taking classes mostly with Susan Gresko, Jennifer Ferguson, Deidre Byrne and Lisae Jordan. Because I love their styles and the schedule works really well for me, I mostly take Susan Gresko and Jennifer Ferguson’s classes, and I am extremely happy with them. Susan has awaken in me that fire and excitement I recall having in my teenage years ballet classes. Her classes offer that challenge you need to see tangible improvements. Jennifer is extremely sweet and has the ability to make everyone in class feel relevant and make personalized corrections. So thank you so much to both of you! Second, most of the adult classes are scheduled at convenient times in evening weekdays and during the weekend, which are great for working professionals. Third, the pricing is very reasonable and the live music accompaniment is absolutely stellar. I recognize many of the pianists from TWB. Fourth, the studios are ample and clean, most receptionists are friendly and helpful, and the online booking system works very well. My one recommendation is to consider offering a more ample package to purchase classes. Currently there are only 2 options: a 10 class package and monthly unlimited. This is a bit limiting for people who want to buy more than 10 classes but can’t use them during a month. Lastly, please consider offering an adult summer intensive at MYB. Many of us would absolutely love attending such a program at MYB, and unfortunately no good programs are available in the area. Thanks so much again and keep the wonderful work!

Sally LaBonte: Positive: ValueMy daughter loved every class with GoBananas

Chris Loizou: The staff and teachers are wonderful! Would highly recommend to anyone in town!

The Mills Family: GWDC is a wonderful dance home for any family. Our daughter loves her teachers and classes and they always challenge her to grow. We are thankful for the healthy attitudes about body image, strength and diversity that are present at the studio. Our daughter looks up to the older dancers who are great role models. The performance opportunities, especially the Nutcracker, are something our daughter looks forward to every year.

Ben Roberts: In preparation for our wedding, we decided to book dance lessons. I’ve never felt particularly comfortable dancing but my wife is, so we thought we’d give lessons a try. What a good idea it was to spend time learning a few social dances before our wedding! Our instructor patiently helped us through several dances and really helped to make the learning process more fun. I’d even enjoy more social dancing in the future! At the wedding everyone asked if we’d taken classes because we looked so comfortable dancing together, and we could proudly say we had. I’d recommend this studio in the future for private lessons.

Lindsey Ohle: My daughter took ballet classes for many years at Ballet Nova. The school is fantastic and her skill, technique and flexibility drastically improved. I would highly recommend this studio to any dancer both recreationally or for a serious ballet dancer, like my daughter. Matthew Powell and his team are fantastic!

Kristen Hoeflinger: A lovely, intimate dance school with a wonderful Director. Highly recommended.

Robert D: Let me start out by saying our daughter does not dance at this studio. However, we competed against them this weekend at KAR dance in Woodbridge/Nokesville. The team was a class act as well as the parents. The kids were very congratulatory to our studio during awards. The parents that we met were all so positive. The dance/prop dads put aside what they were doing to help us load in our props. At one point, one of our girls came off the stage during production coughing uncontrollably. Before I knew it, one of their dads showed up with a bottle of water. There aren’t too many studios that we have encountered that seem to be surrounded by good people such as this one. So, I wanted to extend my thanks from one studio in Fredericksburg, VA to C&C. Thank you!

Jamey Royse: Our daughter loves dancing at Cuppetts.

Takiaya Hall: I am so glad I made the decision to get my daughter involved in dancing. I stumbled across Making Moves Dance Collective 3 years ago and my daughter has been a part of the family every since. When I use the term “family”, it’s not loosely. At Making Moves Dance Collective they make you feel like you’re a part of an extended family. My daughter has gained valuable friendships and big sisters while being exposed to professional dance training and skills that are truly invaluable! I thank Making Moves Dance Collective for allowing us to be part of something great! And now my toddler son is attending dance classes at the studio!

regina boudrey harris: Took the Strong by Zumba class and the Instructor, Kareemah was fantastic! She made the class fun and enjoyable even for those of us who had never taken the class before. Her instructions were on point and her personable attitide and personality is what really made me come back for a second class.
