We absolutely love the dance studio at AF Dance! My 4-year-old and 6-year-old daughters have been attending classes here, and we couldn't be happier. Ms. Abigail and her incredible staff are truly amazing. The dedication and passion they have for teaching dance is evident in every class. One of the standout moments for us was when my youngest daughter was having a tough time separating from me. Ms. Abigail suggested a technique that completely worked, making the transition smooth and stress-free. Her understanding and approach to working with kids is exceptional. It's clear that she truly knows and cares about each child, creating a supportive and nurturing environment. The progress both of my daughters have made since joining the studio is remarkable. They have not only improved their dance skills but also gained confidence and made wonderful friends. The studio offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere that feels like a second home to us. The performance recitals are incredible! I even had the chance to dance with my daughters at their recital (My Dancer and Me), and it was such a fun and memorable experience. My girls and I enjoyed it very much. It was a wonderful bonding opportunity for us. And my oldest said it was her favorite part. If you're looking for a dance studio that combines excellent teaching with a genuine love for children, I highly recommend AF Dance. Ms. Abigail and her team are the best, and we are so grateful to be part of this amazing community. read more

This dance studio has become my families home away from home. I have 4 children (1 boy and 3 girls) and between the 4 of them we are there 6 days a week and WE LOVE IT! I am pleased that my children are learning to respect their bodies and the importance of hard work and commitment. At AFDS the faculty, lead by Miss Abigail Fine, encourage the dancers to listen to their bodies and push themselves everyday. My children understand that while ballet may not be their favorite it's certainly the most important and since I grew up playing hockey and football, I can understand how agility, balance, control and flexibility would be super helpful in all sports and activities. I believe AFDS is more than just a fine dance studio, it's an AWESOME dance studio. Beyond the quality of education I am beyond impressed with the way the business is run. Miss Abigail, with help from some nice ladies behind the desk, take soooooo much time to make professional newsletters that come out timely on the 1st of each month. While lengthy they are thorough and helpful. I feel badly for AFDS when parents don't read these emails. I am a lawyer and my wife is a doctor and we both work between 50-70 hours each week and still we make time to read these emails because it's clear so much heart is put into them. We really appreciate the care and time that as put into building a brand new state of the art facility this past summer (2011) and are thrilled to be a part of this studio. read more

Stay away if you love your child. The owner of the studio is more interested in your money than your child. Unless you are on her "elite" dance team (as the mother Teri M's daughter in the review of 9/20/2014 is) your child will barely get any recognition. And if you are only dancing as a recreation--well then you will be ignored even more. In previous years all the competitive teams were able to perform at the recitals--now it is only Junior, Senior, and Elite--and where previously only seniors had solos--she is now allowing her precious "elite" to also have solo and team dances at the recital. If your child is a gymnast/dancer--elite will fit them well--however, if your child is "just" into dance--go elsewhere. Oh and now she has a student of the month where individual girls are picked out and highlighted every month. This studio is not about nourishing every child, it is about getting your money and then ignoring your child. There is a long and growing list of people who are switching to Broadway Bound, Joanne Langione, places that will help your child to flourish. Lastly, it seems to be true--if you joined A Fine Dance in the first year--she seems to care about you--anyone after that, forget about it. And everything that A Mother N says in her review is true. Really--stay away. Run don't walk. read more

As someone who has danced in classes both competitively and for fun with Miss Abigail Fine, she definitely finds the balance. For those dancers who want to dance competitively, she will push you to be the best dancer you can be. The cultural the teachers and staff provide are positive. It bothers me that people come on here and personally attack the director and don't actually review the studio. I did not dance at A Fine Dance Studio, but was a dancer at a studio where Abigail directed prior to opening her own studio. I came here to review to defend her name. She gave me the push to want to improve my technique in dancing. I was only trained in hip-hop and she was able to show me how important it was to be a well-rounded dancer. Of course, one person's teaching style is not for everyone. But to attack a director who has worked her butt off to help improve so many lives through the power of dance is wrong. To accuse her of simply trying to take people's money and choosing favorites, I STRONGLY disagree with. She treats people fairly and only wants the people in her classes to show they are trying their best. read more

There are no words to describe how amazing A Fine Dance Studio has been to my daughter, my son and our family. Both my children have danced at the Studio. This is my daughters 6th year and my son did breakdancing for 2 years. Both kids not only learned to dance but learned responsibility and teamwork. The faculty at AFDS are incredible. Each faculty member knows their individual craft and teaches each student technique as well as encourages them to "never give up." The owner, Abigail Fine, is a complete professional. She goes above and beyond to give the kids self confidence in addition to incredible dance skills. Her choice of appropriate costumes and music for recital each year are just one of the examples of how much time and thought goes into each and every decision. From team events to end of year parties and slideshows, Abigail Fine is always showing the kids that they are part of something bigger than just a Dance Studio- they are part of a dance family. My kids consider AFDS their home away from home. read more

Love everyone at AFDS!I love AFDS so much! read more

My daughter has been going to this studio for four years now and loves it. Abigail (owner and teacher) is caring and a great instructor. This studio has a large number of students and some how the teachers remember the strengths and weakness of each dancer. My daughter is shy and has a hard time opening up to new people, Abigail and the other teachers have made her feel comfortable during each class and event. There are a lot of classes to choose from whether you are a recreational dancer or on the team/company. The studio has a store where you can buy your shoes and leotards/tights which is very convenient. read more

My daughter went here and loved it but ultimately chose gymnastics longer term. Abby is professional and passionate about what she does. Super detail oriented in the way she manages the business to make sure its well run and fun for all involved. read more

What a wonderful studio experience! Classes are fun, friendly and engaging for recreational dancers. There are also programs for more serious, more advanced dancers. The overall atmosphere feels like family. Highly recommend. read more
