Not a typical post. Businesses

I have a strange desire to post links and share tidbits about many of the businesses I have been to or have friends that own or recommend on Facebook. I am not getting compensation for this post, it's just a random thing I thought of. It is not direct sales businesses that I am posting about, I have many friends that do them and I do as well, so if you want to know where to get a direct sales product feel free to ask and I can direct you to someone.

Fitness

RAW Fitness
: I have never been here however many friends have done their challenge and enjoy their instructors/coaches.
http://www.rawfitnesslv.com/ 

Habits2Health: I have been here to speak with the owners, one is a friend that I had done wedding flowers for. This is a small gym behind KFC on College/Horizon
http://www.h2hsg.com/

TruFusion: I have never been here either, however I believe I know one of the instructors (she no longer has a Facebook account so keeping track is a bit more difficult). I do know friends who have gone though and enjoy their hot yoga
https://trufusion.com/

I Love Kickboxing: Another place I have not been to however many have asked for a gym with Kickboxing and friends have recommended this one
http://www.ilovekickboxing.com/kickboxing-studio/index.php?id=170&refid=ilkbsite

24 Hour Fitness: I believe I went to one as a guest of a friend, however where I went is no longer 24 Hour Fitness. Many friends do talk about here and how much they like it
http://www.24hourfitness.com/ 

OrangeTheory: Another gym I have not personally gone to, but many friends recommend (I have a lot of FaceBook friends)
http://www.orangetheoryfitness.com/

EOS: This is the gym I went to as a guest, however it was a different name when I went there.
http://eosfitness.com/

Planet Fitness: Newly opened close to where I live, I still have not personally gone to
http://www.planetfitness.com/

Final fitness place I can think of is your city rec center. Many of the rec centers have work-out equipment and even inside tracks. They also have fitness classes offered. I would post the links, but I am hoping this blog's readers are more than in my city.

Dance Studios

Brenda's Dance Studio
: My oldest children went to this studio for dance and tumbling. It is not a competition studio, however they do walk in parades and have performances throughout the year.
http://brendasdancestudio.blogspot.com/

Astudia Dance World: Friends of mine have children at this studio, I have not been here personally. I believe they do competitions
http://astudiadance.com/

BSharp: Friends have their children go here, I have not been here personally. I believe they do competitions
http://www.bsharpdance.com/

Arthur Murray Dance Center: My husband and I have been here and enjoyed the classes and instructors, it became difficult to continue taking lessons though because of the distance and other reasons. They have dance parties where clients can bring friends.They also have two locations.
http://www.arthurmurraylasvegas.com/

Boulder City Ballet Company: I have seen one of their productions and it was wonderful. Some friends go to this place.
http://missamys.com/bcballetco/

Michael Darby and Smile Dance Studio: I know Smile personally. I've been to the Micheal Darby and Smile  show that they perform at schools. They have great energy.
http://www.michaeldarbyandsmile.org/
https://www.facebook.com/Michael-Darby-Smile-Dance-Studio-432689946887969/

Again check your local rec centers as they have dance classes and the instructors sometimes come from professional studios.

Gymnastics/Tumbling/Karate/Ice Skating

Cox and Gallacher Martial Arts: I have friends that have taken their children here and my youngest is trying out tumbling here. I also grew up knowing the Gallachers.

A.T.A.: I have friends who have gone here and their children go here
https://www.ataonline.com/

Run Plus Fun: Great An indoor place to take your children
http://www.runplusfun.com/home_0.html

https://www.pumpitupparty.com/las-vegas-nv/

Another plug for the local rec centers. They have indoor activities, gymnastics, cheer, martial arts, and many other varieties of options for children and adults. Everyone is different, this is why I'm posting different places.

Photography: if there was no Facebook page link or website I could copy and paste I couldn't add all my awesome photographers. Everyone is different and likes different people and aspects of who they hire so there is a mix of photographers. If they have a Facebook and website I'm posting both links. These are not in any order other than the tabs I see as I'm posting.

Mikel's Photography and Design: I have been to his studio and he has taken my picture and children's pictures. My husband still has and carries the photo Mikel took of me to send to my husband overseas. He has also taken my children's photos at the preschool they went to. He does go on location as well for photos, he is not an in studio only photographer.
