From Mind to Body

My girlfriends and I bought a $ 15 coupon from
for a one time beginners class which is usually $ 25 per class. We had soooo much fun tonight at the Wednesday 7:30 — 8:30PM class (we brought a little cocktail drink to spice things up). The class we went to was a weekly beginners class for those who have packages with the dance studio or for anyone who wants to try it out. You need to make the reservation ahead of time.
So there were about 15 girls total, 3 poles and one instructor. The instructor would teach one move at a time and after each demonstration the girls would take turns using the poles to practice. Pop/​Dance music was playing, the light was on low so you feel comfrotable enough to walk out 5 feet in front of you to the pole. After 5 – 6 moves we put the whole routine together and practiced. Some girls were in high heels, some girls were not. The instructor comes around and encourages and corrects. Veronica was our instructor, she was really nice, encouraging and a really sexy dancer. She doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable at all.
What to wear:
–Barefoot, flats or high heels. Really anything shoe you wear is fine
–Leggings or tights if you don’t want to rub your skin against the same pole the other girls are, otherwise, bootie shorts are fine.
–Tank top or anything you’re comfortable in, you’ll be lifting your arms to grab the pole a lot
The dance studio is a little hard to find. It’s near Debra’s Cottage and it’s towards the back of the building. You won’t see the name «From Mind to Body» because there are other dances studios going on. So go upstairs and that’s where you’ll be.

I’m mixed about the review to give.
If I had to review just the company, Mind to Body, I would give it 1 STAR. Here is what I did not like about this company.
1) I called a month in advance to reserve the Seal Beach location for a bachelorette party. They said that they would send me a confirmation email. After 2 weeks, I still had not received the email. I called back and asked them to resend it just in case it had not gone through or gone to my spam. Again, they said they would but I never received it.
2) 2 DAYS BEFORE THE PARTY, the girl called and said that the Seal Beach location was being remodeled. WHAT THE #$%@!!! You’re telling me this 2 days before the party??? The closest location to us was in Costa Mesa. Take it or leave it. The girl on the phone was not apologetic at all. Not even a hint of it in her voice. I was pissed.
3) I wrote the owner a letter expressing my displeasure and NEVER received a response. Isn’t it common courtesy to respond? What is happening to customer service? I would think a small business like this would want more clients. Then RESPOND!!!
~~~~~ Now onto our experience at the Costa Mesa Location~~~~~~
Our instructor was Toni. SHE WAS AWESOME!!! Not only was she very open and funny, she got us to loosen up and made us LOVE our session. It was so much fun and I want to do it again (if she is our instructor). Thanks, Toni!
