Best dance fitness company around! They take pride in their work as they should. The community feel even once you walk through the doors is unmatched. The routines, although might seem intimidating at first due to how amazing the instructos perform, are very easy to follow and learn quickly after a couple times which is a huge mood, energy, and confidence booster for sure! Everyone was very welcoming and kind. Highly recommend πŸ‘πŸΌ

This is the most fun I've ever had while working out! I was attending for a few months but my schedule was unexpectedly thrown off. Hoping to get back there soon. The instructors and entire Fly Dance community are fantastic and there's never a dull moment. You've gotta try it!

My favorite place to work out! The instructors are amazing and everyone is so nice. It’s the best workout I have ever had! It doesn’t even feel like you’re working out because you’re having so much fun dancing.

I just attended 8 whole minutes of the Throw Down class, which was my first ever attempt at a dance fitness class.

Why did I last only 8 min? I am a fit soccer mom type , a seasoned yogi and runner, in town for the X-Mas. Sure, I went clubbing back in the day and can still ride the rail at a concert or festival with the best of them, but as for choreographed routines and dance steps, a dancer I am NOT.

The class descriptions seem to indicate all fitness levels welcome, but lacked in specifying dance/ dance experience level fitting for the class or what to expect from an instructional point of view.

I would like to be clear that this is not necessarily a ding against the studio but to serve more of a heads up for any other visiting "soccer moms" who might likewise interpret the current website descriptions as I did. I e. All fitness levels welcome. Well, all fitness levels welcome is entirely different than all dance levels capable.

The studio itself was awesome. The front office staff and Instructors were
welcoming and the classroom had a great vibe. The class started right on time and they (2 instructors at front of class) jumped right in to it for a fast paced "warm up" consisting of dance steps, twerks, jumps, direction changes, shuffle steps ect. , It was in this several minutes that I Knew I was in the wrong class.

There was literally no instruction except, "have fun". There was some pointing by the instructors as for direction of travel, but it was clear that it was a routine most of the others in the class already knew and they were going full speed.
lThe sound system is exceptional and the music was cranked, so if there were instructions , I did not hear them. To be fair, there were apparently nine other beginners in my class, all much younger than myself, who seemed to catch on without much difficulty,. I was all left feet , feeling anxious a, which is not too much fun. It felt as if I had arrived to a two hour class an hour late. All indicators were that this was not going to change for the next 52 minutes so I bailed.
In summary, Great studio, great class, only it simply was not a match for me, a complete newb.
I will absolutely return to fly fitness for another try, only , next time to a more appropriate class for a true beginner.

My suggestion to the studio would be to more thoughtfully consider your class descriptions and/or require new students take the (limited,) beginner level class for one or more sessions prior to opening the schedule for non-beginner classes or to provide newbies with class difficulty progression suggestion.

Just did my first throw down class tonight and it was awesome! I had never been so I didn’t know what to expect. They didn’t teach any routines; they just put on a song and everyone already knows it. As a dancer, I could pick it up decently quick. This is some intense cardio!! It’s song after song with no breaks! You will leave sweating and smiling that’s for sure! I’m from MA so I will definitely try their virtual classes!!🧑

I have been coming to Fly Dance Fitness for years, as home and work responsibilities would allow (maybe five?). Last year they introduced a new class, WERQ. The name was strange but morning time slot worked best with my schedule so I thought I would give it a shot. It is the perfect dance class and instructor for me. This class taps into a love of dance I had as a child who spent the majority of her time pretending to be a professional dancer in her living room. I don't have much rhythm and am often a couple of beats behind, but it doesn't matter. Alicia has an energy and vibe that I cannot describe, the music is fun and upbeat and I love how she sneaks in some classical ballet moves among the modern ones. If all that wasn't enough, the workout itself yields quick results! I look forward to this one hour each week where I get to pretend I am a dancer. Thank you Alicia!

I. Love. Fly. Dance. Fitness!!!!!
I have never had any dance training and think of myself as pretty klutzy. So here are the 20 stages of getting from there to here.
July 2019
1. My friend invited me to try "Dance Fitness" - I think I'll go!
2. This looks fun! I'll stand in the back so I can get the hang of it.
3. Love the music! Love the energy! The songs repeat, so by the end of each song I am starting to get the hang of it.
4. Holy cow - in this song everyone turned around and faced the back where I am standing! I am on display! PANICKING!
5. No way, one of the owners just galloped all the way back to where I'm standing so I still have someone to follow! How cool is that!
October 2019
6. They teach all the moves to a new song each week, and then they play the recent ones more often, so I have little moments of recognition more and more often.
7. Everyone is such great dancers here.
8. I like her leggings.
9. I am starting to recognize people here too - everyone is so friendly!
10. Each of the instructors is so unique and awesome - they are so fun to learn from.
March 2020
11. All my spring break plans were cancelled, but maybe I can just go to Fly every day and get a ton of exercise and have fun! (totally underestimating pandemic)
12. Darn it, everything is closed, but FLY MOVED ONLINE! Yay, we can still dance!
April 2020
13. After a LOOOOONG day of zoom, I need to move. Bonus: it is literally impossible to be angry or anxious while dancing with these awesome instructors even though they have to dance by themselves and share it online during shutdown!
July 2020
14. Okay, I think I will reward myself by buying my first Fly Dance Fitness shirt.
September 2020 - present
15. I really like her leggings. She's an amazing dancer. She is also super nice and hilarious.
16. I need another Fly shirt, ASAP.
17. Classes go by so quickly because they are so fun! And I am getting a crazy good workout.
18. Ooooh, they have Christmas shirts. Need one of those, too.
19. I can't believe I get to dance with these amazing people every week.
20. I need to tell EVERYONE ELSE about this place so they can feel this great too!

I've been coming to fly dance fitness for about a month and it is one of my favorite fitness classes I've ever done, and I've done a lot! The hip hop dance routines are a blast and amazing exercise, and even though I am not a good dancer, at all, I'm getting a lot better. And it is so much fun I don't really care.

Fly is the kind of place that will leave you asking yourself "why didn't I start this sooner?" If you enjoy and have fun dancing, want a physical and mental challenge, and are open to a warm and supportive community then Fly is it. The instructors are lovely, the space is well-kempt, and the music and lighting really set you up to feel free to let loose. Seriously the most fun I've ever had working out! I'm grateful to have found you, Fly!

I recently visited fly for the first time and had such a great experience! The owners of this facility have done an incredible job at creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Not only that, Stacey and Kari are both phenomenal instructors. It is very evident the time and effort they’ve put in to making this place so special. I felt very comfortable surrounded by a group of women who truly encourage and support one another. This place is a gem and I highly recommend it to anyone!

Shake your boo-tay music, great instructors with a positive vibe. I felt very welcome here. Although I haven't tried all of the classes (YET), the variety I have tried made me sweat, smile and laugh. Cize and Throw Down were more cardio while the Barre class was more toning and strengthening. Whoa...it made me sore. Love that! Fly clothes to shop!
