I had been looking for an adult tap class for a while and Baker School of Dance offered one. It was just what I was looking for. Professional teacher to brush up on my skills and a fun environment. Class is geared to individual’s level. I like that it’s not just technic but developing a dance routine too. Definitely worth checking out! More...

I signed up for the 6-week challenge because I was tired of looking at myself in the mirror and not knowing who I was anymore. I went in I talked to Cherie, the owner, about where I was at, where I wanted to be, body, mind and soul. It was a full program: exercise classes 3 times a week minimum, anti-inflammatory eating plan, weekly weigh in's and 1-1 counseling sessions with her. After my 6 weeks: I was down 18 pounds and a great number of inches! I'm stronger, feel amazing, the eating plan really works and I didn't have any cravings! When I started I could not do bpurpees, jump (2 knee replacements), planks were difficult. Now: burpees! Long jump! Planks with sliding feet! I have a real sense of accomplishment! Oh, and I'm down 2 sizes! I keep going to the classes 3x a week for the challenge (someone said the classes don't get easier. And they don't but I am getting stronger!), staying (mainly) on the eating plan, to further my transformation journey. The ladies in the classes all support each other and are great for motivation! And I feel fantastic!! I enjoy looking in the mirror again! I highly recommend coming for the challenge or just sign up for the classes. You'll be amazed at yourself after 6 weeks! More...

I signed up for adult tap for the first time ever in the spring this year and I had so much fun! This was my first time ever doing tap and with Cherie as my teacher, I learnt so much. The classes are pretty small which is nice, especially if you need some one on one time with the teacher. I will definitely be signing up again for the fall classes! More...

My 7 year old daughter is coming up on her fourth season of dance at this school and we would not choose any other place to go. She loves the teachers here and the dance family she has created and feels so accomplished with each class she takes. This school definitely feeds her passion for dance. More...

I have been taking one on one personal training and fitness classes with Cherie Blier from Baker's School Of Fitness for over 6 months now. I understand the importance of movement and fitness for optimum health and wellness. However, I have never been a natural exercise lover or willing to do it consistently as never found something that I could or would stick to vs just a phase or the latest kick. I love Cherie's style and approach for so many reasons. She educates and teaches you along the way on so many components that are instrumental on not just physical fitness exercises, but why form, proper breathing, nutrition, and self talk are also all vital for whole health success goals. The most important reason that I appreciate and love working with Cherie that has been paramount for my success, is how she meets you where you are at. She understands the importance to know her audience and adapt to the personal needs, goals, & ability level for optimum success while keeping it fresh and new each week. Teamwork makes the dream work for all parties to work together to reach the common goal. You will appreciate her positive, supportive, & patient style to truly achieve more than you set out to do. I wish I could share a before/after picture, but I would not have allowed any before pictures as I was not feeling well or up for pictures when I started being discouraged with starting again. Now, I feel strong, comfortable, and confident in the skin I am in which was important to me for so many reasons, but most importantly with being a mother of 3 girls to live by example for healthy living. I know 100% now this is a way of life and lifestyle vs another phase or health kick. Thank you Cherie! More...

My daughter has been coming since she was about 6 years old and from day 1 she fell in love and has never looked back. I love the way they instruct them, step by step and by the recital it’s this beautiful ensemble. It’s not just about dance, the instructors, especially Ms. Cherie, teaches them to love their bodies, what healthy snacks to fuel themselves with and to really embrace each other. I can’t wait to see how far my daughter will go with this but if she was to stop tomorrow, she’s already learned a lifetime of amazing lessons. More...

If you're looking to get in the best shape of your life, you need to work out here! I've lost approximately 30lbs since I've been working out with Cherie for almost 2 years now. I've done everything from personal training to group fitness and have seen amazing results! She is a certified personal trainer and truly practices what she preaches. She can also offer you nutritional advice for a healthier lifestyle to help achieve your goals even faster. Cherie truly cares and will help you get there as long as you're willing to put in the work. Love supporting a local family business - she is making them proud! Can't say enough about Cherie and the Baker School of Dance & Fitness! More...

I've been going to boot camp with Cherie Blier all summer and it's been an amazing experience. She is wonderful and so knowledgeable. The group has a range of fitness levels (and ages -- from 19 years old to 50+ years) and she is able to teach to each one of our levels and to make sure we are challenged appropriately. She also is great at improving our form. I am getting stronger every week AND enjoying myself at the same time. (Plus, I love that it is outside in the summertime!) More...

I signed my daughter up for dance when she was 2 years and 4 months old. What started off as something for her to do because I was having another baby and didn't want her feeling pushed aside turned into the true passion of her life. Brittney danced at the Baker School of dance for 16 years and flourished as a dancer. After graduating she went off to college knowing she would miss dancing but had no idea how much until she was away from it. She has since changed her major to include dance and is on the dance team at school. Mrs B and Lisa (and Caitlin and some others along the way) provided her with a great foundation of dance during her 16 years and ever after she graduated took her under their wings more than once allowing her the chances to continue to dance after she graduated. She still went and completed and took classes with them. Dance and the Bakers were a second family to Brittney as she was at the studio 4 nights a week between classes and teaching. Many of Brittney's memories have to do with dance, her fellow dancers and her instructors. The Baker school of dance gave Brittney a love for dance, self esteem and confidence, the ability to take criticism (not that she likes it....) and turn it into positive by working harder. She earned many awards for both group dances and solos over the years. The awards the school has won is testament to how great it is. As I've said to her teachers before... Thank you!!! � More...

Just started hitting a few fitness classes a couple of weeks ago and I am impressed with how friendly and professional the ladies are there. Very nice group of women attend the classes and everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. I plan on trying their challenges and maybe even some personal training too. I highly recommend to anyone especially those people who might be a little shy or have what feels like a long way to go to get to their fitness goals. Just try it out and have a little fun! More...

The amount of love, energy and heart that has been passed down thru generations from Mrs B to Lisa, Lori and now Cherie .. and Rebecca too.. is what makes this such a special place.

Taking lessons at The Baker School of Dance has been a big part of my life recently, and a true pleasure. While trying to prepare for my future with dance auditions and choreography the new owner has been accepting and kind hearted, welcoming me to the world of dance with open arms, teaching me with patience and enthusiasm as my teacher. Not only have the classes and environment been amazing but also the school has worked flexibly to fit my schedule which has been a huge relief preparing for college these past few months. Reading other reviews I see complaints about communication between parents and teacher yet the communication I have with the new owner has improved me as a person. Instead of patronizing me as a young adult and communicating through my parents my dance schedule is worked out through my teacher and Iregularly, improving my maturity through new organization and communication skills. I have danced with bakers school before for Irish step years ago, and I can easily say that the atmosphere at the school has not changed, and it is still an amazing and impressive studio, where I have come a long way in my dance world in only the past few months! A great part about the school is how comfortable they have made me feel. The true confidence and faith my dance teacher has in me has convinced me she is doing this for my benefit not caring about a late payment you can clearly see these instructors are not in this just for money but because they know their students are improving and blossoming as dancers. The best part is I always look forward to my time at the studio because I truly know it is a place of fun, and at the same time that hard work pays off! More...

My daughter has had nothing short of an extraordinary experience with The Baker School of Dance & Fitness. The teachers, the owners (including the new one), has shown compassion, patience, enthusiasm, and real passion for the love of dance and fitness. My daughter looks forward to working with Miss Cherie and the other amazingly talented staff every week - so much so that she is continuing to take classes this summer! I am very pleased with the The Baker School and would highly recommend it. Not only am I proud of my daughter's accomplishments, I am also proud to see her classmates grow and enjoy what they are doing! More...

My Daughter has danced on and off for the last 14 yr at Bakers. It is a very warm and loving environment. There has been some growing pains as this is true when ever ownership is transferred. I would not even think twice if my Daughter want to dance again this year, however she had made the choice to be more involved at school for her senior year. This is a wonderful family run dance studio. More...

This is now our second year doing dance at the baker school and I must say we are beyond thrilled with how well the school is run and how great Miss Cherie is with all the students. In the first year my 5 year old gained so much confidence and learned so much! Now this year being the second year, within the first day she was able to do a multiple part dance with no problems what so ever. Cherie always has a smile on her face and is eager to teach the students each day. She gets the girls so into and it's such a wonderful experience to be a part of it. We love the baker school and would not go anywhere else! More...
