Reviews of Jordin's Paradise Zumba & Dance & Fitness & Poledance & Bachelorette Party (Dance School)

Caroline Downing

Joined this studio so I could try pole dancing (not for me- I don’t have the upper body strength) and stayed for Sarah’s amazing Zumba on thursdays and Rania’s amazing energy during sounding and breathwork sessions. Thank you!

The venue is intimate and the staff is very friendly. They offer pilate classes, zumba, and pole dancing. I took the pilates class with Reyna and she was amazing! I'm new to pilates and she was kind enough to answer all of my newbie questions about positioning. She was also very respectful of my time by finishing on time. You can tell she's an experienced pilates instructor - her directions were easy to follow. I'm excited to take more classes!

Very welcoming!

Margie Zambrana

Cool even for beginners.

Beginner Pole class was so much fun. No one ever told me it’s actually a work out! Lawd ! Tasha was a great instructor. If asked, she went over each grip and spin as many times. DuPont is usually crazy at all times of the week, but Tuesday night there was parking very close to the studio (only walked a block.) The actual studio is a pretty good size with a lot of space and poles. The only part I didn’t like was the elevator and how to get up to the 4th floor. It’s incredibly small (only fits 4 people at a time,) and I didn’t feel very safe on it and wondered where the stairs were. Besides that fact, everyone was super friendly and you can tell it was everyone’s first rodeo. Definitely taking this class again.! I recommend it. Won’t be disappointed!

Piper Ballantine

Loved it! Was fun and very easy to catch on highly recommend everyone to try it!

Christina Burke

I had so much fun dancing and learning new pole moves! Jacquie was an excellent instructor, especially when teaching in ASL! She made it all easy and fun! Crossing my fingers for more ASL Pole classes from her! :-)

A staff member at Jordin's made a mistake in November 2015 that resulted in me being mistakenly charged more than $300. Despite me reaching out to Rania and the membership team (emailing and calling) for almost two years, they have not responded.

Fika Dica

Nice studio ! I loved it

Mary Holmes

I only went to this place as part of a party to do belly dancing for a bachelorette BUT my god are they annoying. It’s been four years and no matter what I do they just keep emailing me. If you go give a fake email cause the spam is simply harassing. I have tried blocking them, unsubscribing and even calling. Beware, any business that damn annoying doesn’t deserve your information.

If I could give negative stars I would. This studio is extremely unprofessional and unsanitary; I know because I worked there. The owner does not have money to pay her instructors let alone maintain an entire studio. There is a lack of working poles...some spin and some don't. There is consistently garbage inside the actual studio space. There are some good teachers but others do not show up on time to teach their classes and students end up without an instructor. The owner is consistently complaining TRYING to keep up with studios like Pole Pressure...WHY because it is much better. I would save my money with this place and aim for a different studio. If you go to this studio and then another you will clearly see the rip off you receive when spending money at JP. I wish all you beautiful dancers the best!!

Just took my first intro pole dancing class - had so much fun and I will definitely be back for more

Elisa Day

Love their Zumba classes on Thursdays and Saturdays. Really good and inspiring instructors, love the choreography and music - puts me in such a good mood. Thank you JP!

Ellie Hawkins

I went in yesterday to see what it's all about and totally fell in love with the place. So warm, friendly and welcoming environment and atmosphere! Can't wait to take a zumba class!

Lawrence Tan

This is my first time at this school and I like the experience. The Thursday classes emphasized on the technical part followed by applications in the dance. If you seriously desire to pursue Tango in depth. This is the place for you.

Hillary Marshall

Intro class was well worth the $5! I learned several grips and even a choreographed dance! The teacher was patient and the experience was very empowering!

Skylar Morton

I love this place so sooo much. I have taken all the pole classes with Tasha, Destiny’s heels choreo, and twerkshop. The instructors are bomb, welcoming, and kind. I’ve met amazing beautiful people here. I recommend this place to all my friends. This is the best studio on the DMV hands down. (Oh, and the prices are too good to be true especially if you get unlimited passes)

Silvia B

I enjoy the variety of classes and the instructors' power and motivation. It's a very welcoming, joyful and supportive place. I love powerful workout that brings me to my limits. If you seek that type of challenge as well then go to Jeannie's Doonya Bollywood workout or Ana's Piloxing class! Wanna learn bellydance? Then come to Ibi's Bellydance class on Fridays! Finally, the membership/class prices are very competitive and absolutely fair for the high quality workout offered. Absolutely recommend this place!

Farah Dailey

Tasha was great and I thoroughly enjoyed taking twerk and curvy pole with her!

Emily Ann

Love Jordin’s Paradise! Val is an excellent instructor who makes every student feel comfortable! Tasha’s classes have helped me to let loose and feel confident while dancing!

Krissy Beauchamp

Tasha was amazing! Def wanna go back!!

Bernisha Moore

Instructor was very engaging and fun. Definitely will be back.

Christine He

I love this place. Staff is super nice!! The classes are very nice and inclusive even for beginners. And registering for classes are so easy online! Very close to my office so makes it very convenient for me to try different classes.

Jazmin Jorge

Love the Tuesday night "Like a Stripper" pole class! I keep coming back .

Mia Coleman

Went for intro pole lessons.. Learned so much at a fun pace so it was not overwhelming. Teacher was very good at instructing and made sure we executed every move properly. Definitely a great fun workout, I loved it!

Lynnci Barnes

Destiny was amazing her class was energetic, up beat and great for all levels. I can't wait to take her class again. Only wish that there were cups for water, because I forgot my water bottle and didn't have anything to drink. Definitely will come again!

Jonathan Tolbert

I went to Jordin's Paradise Flirtified Poledance class with my wife and it was a great time! Eva (our instructor) was so patient and encouraging to us newbies. The rest of our classmates, more seasoned, were also very encouraging and friendly. It was so much fun and worked muscles I barely work. I highly recommend this class if you're looking to build confidence in yourself or are looking for something a little out of the ordinary from your normal routine! Also, guys, make sure to stretch your hips out before the class!

Lacresha Fikes

Very inclusive, fun, sexy environment. Beautiful teachers and, POLE, duh!

Keonte' Lee

I attended the intro to pole class and had such an amazing, liberating experience. My instructor, Lady was extremely attentive and eager to go over a move that I was unclear on. Will definitely continue to attend classes. I woke up this morning extremely sore!! Haha

Kate Van Horn

Energy was high, instructors were well versed in their field! 10/10 would go again

Alexandria Washington

Staff is sooooo friendly! Day one they remember who you are and communicate with you like an actual person. Classes here have done so much for my self esteem, and it's always a lively place. P.S. Take a class with Tasha!!

Cynthia Nonsense

Very fun Zumba!

Sarah Williamson, Deputy Director

I attended my first class here and had a great experience. The instructor was very knowledgeable; did a great job of breaking down how to do the various moves; and facilitated an atmosphere of fun.

Amanda Miller

Classes are fun but do not sign up for a membership if you may want to cancel the membership. They only answer emails on Thursdays never answer the phone to justify charging your card. They will not refund for anything unused

Jane Powell

Awesome class with Olivia!!!! Had so much fun!! Only complaint is that a random dude walked into class and didn’t introduce himself. Made me uncomfortable wasn’t aware men would be coming in.

Tabatha Poelstra

Staff is amazing! Love the fact that I can text to communicate with the owner. You should def hire a Pop Pilates instructor full time. She did an amazing job.

Shari Walker

So much fun at my first class!

B Bert

I have been doing pole fitness for years. This was a really friendly supportive atmosphere. Best so far in DC.

Niranjani Radhakrishnan

I have been teaching and taking classes at Jordin's for about 4 months, at least once a week and I have loved every single minute of it! The studio and front desk staff are so welcoming and do such a great job of making everyone feel like you matter. I've enjoyed taking classes from other instructors -- I've taken classes that I never even dreamed of taking before, and I'm feeling more confident about my body and have higher self-esteem in the past four months. Thank you Jordin's!

Outside of the classes - which are super fun and different, many of you don't know that the owner Rania does chakra energy readings and healing. After determining where I was out of whack, she places a large singing bowl over that chakra and uses sounds to envelope your senses. You can feel the sound throughout your whole body. And as the bowl stick is sweeping around the bowl you can feel the sound move from one ear to the other. It's truly a transcendent experience. We then burned a list of the things I wrote down that I need to let go of. It's hard to put into words but I felt better after that one session than I have after weeks of traditional therapy. No body is perfect so even if you're totally good with yourself and life you'll get something out of it. And if not, this process of someone consciously pouring their positivity into you will heal a little bit of your soul.

Faisal Fakhani

I went to Jordan's for an introduction to Pole dancing class. I could not have been more satisfied with what I got in return. The great space, the great energy, the friendliness, the patience in teaching, the minted hot towels. Just brilliant. Really made my first trip to DC a great one!

Beth Scott

It was my first time bellydancing and I had a great time! Friendly, warm, and very fun. I'll definitely be back.

sadenise cosby

I had such an amazing time in this class. I was more sore leaving this twerk class than a Pilates class I took earlier this week. The instructor was awesome and all the girls were so nice. I am definitely going back!

paola valentin

Very nice space but service is unreliable. Their schedual is not up to date and they do not notify when a class has been cancelled.

Bridgette Jeanne Billioux

Jordin's paradise is the perfect place to break a sweat and have fun at the same time! From Zumba to Cardio Pop to (my personal favorite) Doonya, Jordin's has it all, and you'll be smiling while reaching your fitness goals.

Liz Montague

Such a great class!! So glad I went!

rita liebowitz

Thursday evenings with Katya Merzhinsky are the highlight of my week. Katya is a treasure and I thank Jordin’s paradise for giving a home to this wonderful, talented professional.

Julie Young

Awesome energy, fun environment. Excercise without feeling like its exercise!

Samantha Guy

Horrible just horrible. I paid for a class on Wednesday, when I showed up everyone was just so rude. I didn’t even bother finishing, just left. I just felt like they were just too judgmental towards people of color. Maybe the other location is better but the one at Connecticut Ave ... trash, simply trash.

Yen Bai

Oh my!!! Blessss this being for she has released me.. her freedom and creation is liberating. Destiny I am strong. and you are queen continue to rise. See you soul Sunday.

KarAlli

Love it all instructors are very cool and helpful.
