  1. We got the package with the refreshments & cake (try the strawberry shortcake) which was good since we needed a drink break every so often.

return potential
50.0% positive
  1. The owners are pretty pushy for you to come back even though we told them we weren't impressed.
  2. We expected a professional service and got what seems to be a business catering for needs of a different kind and though we will continue to find new classes to explore elsewhere this is one school we will never return to.

  1. Yes, for $25 you can learn 3 spins in a very very slow paced class.
  2. am a trained classical dancer, so I gave the slow pace of the class the benefit of the doubt for the first class, but the pace of the class still didnt gain momentum.

Pole dancing classes are excellent!

by DeannaP315

I've decided to try pole dancing for both fun and as an alternative form of exercise. Someone recommended EDC to me and it's the most rewarding experience ever, especially for someone like me who is a beginner without ANY dancing skills! The pole dancing classes are excellent! The instructor is very skilled at teaching the fundamental techniques AND she is very patient (a very valuable asset that a good instructor should possess). I look forward to my pole dancing classes every week, my skills and confidence have improved greatly, the workout is awesome and I'm ready to upgrade to a higher level. Did I mention the Staff is very welcoming and wonderful? I will recommend this school 100% to anyone who's considering exotic dance lessons.

have been going to EDC for a few months now and I feel it w

by ValarieD412

I was surprised to see some of the comments made about EDC on here. I told my friend how much fun I was having taking the classes and when she was doing some research about the school she came across this website. She called me and told me to look at the comments because they were contradicting what I was telling her. I have been going to EDC for a few months now and I feel it was the best decision I made. The manager is extremely friendly and the instructors are very

knowledgeable on whatever class they are teaching. There are three dance studios, two bathrooms, and a changing room; all of which are clean at all times. I have never had any problems while attending, the schedules are flexible and the school with work with anyone if given enough time. I am now an intermediate student and plan on continuing until I am advanced. This is a great workout and I would recommend EDC to any and everyone.

Best Saturday Nite Ever

by Cella73

I had my "Not Yet 40 Birthday Party" there on May 19, 2012 and I had a blast. I had 10 of my friends there with me. One of my friends is 6 months preggers and although she couldn't get on the pole, she was able to participate in the other activities. This is what made EDC so great! My friend was able to do the floor work routine, striptease, lap dancing, etc... I enjoyed myself so much, I am going to start taking classes this summer!

They bring the SEXY out of you!

by Vonniem

I been going to EDC for about a month now and im soooo happy I went! I LOVE that place because they know what there doing. Instructors are patient and willing to show you until you get it right. So far I had Alex and Alieesha and their GREAT. I go back tonight for sensual floorwork and cant wait; especially to see the new location. I recommend anyone to giving them a try, they will bring out another side of you where you will be happy you explored it.

Completely unprofessional

by nyreviwer

I called yesterday to book a party. The person I spoke to was very friendly and tried to help accomodate me for the times I requested. She told me that she would have to call the instructor and would get back to me at 3:30 today.

I didn't hear back by the alloted time so I called the stuido today at 8pm. After being on hold for 10 minutes, I was told that those times didn't exist and they couldn't help me. So I asked if the person I spoke to yesterday wrote down a note or if she might have already entered me into the "system" this woman kept referencing to. Her response was "Do you know who you spoke to, because I don't. We don't have those times available."

Obviously I'm calling a small business and I didn't find it necessary to ask for the name of the person I was speaking to . Is this place so incredibly disorganized that they wouldn't be able to figure out who was working the day before at the time I called? From the conversation I had today, I would venture to say yes. If the times weren't avaialble, I would have completely understood, but instead, they gave me this run around that was not helpful and left me with having to find a new venue.

If you want to book a party, be sure to get a name of who you are speaking to and the book it that DAY, otherwise save yourself some grief and go elsewhere.
