This is the only dance studio in Williamsburg that presents a professional performance of the Nutcracker Ballet in Williamsburg. It is wonderful. The studio also has a June recital, and does many community performances both during Nutcracker season and during June recital time. This studio hasn't done competitive dancing at least since my daughter has been here - for that I am very thankful! The dancers as well as the parents are all very friendly and supportive, it's just a good group of folks to be around!

I am so much more flexible and stronger than I was before NIA. It stimulates your body and your mind. What could be better than barefoot no impact dancing? Everyone dances to their own level.

From the owner: Nia Fitness classes…read more Nia is a dynamic cardiovascular low impact workout that stimulates and integrates your mind/body/spirit and leaves you feeling recharged, rejuvenated, and fully alive. Every Nia class uses movements and concepts from nine movement forms: the expressiveness of the Dance Arts (Jazz, Modern and Duncan), the power and explosiveness of the Martial Arts (Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do and Aikido), and the functional movement techniques of three of the Healing Arts (Yoga, () Alexander Technique and Feldenkrais). No prior dance experience required, all ages and fitness levels are welcome. Nia classes are a space where you can shake it up, laugh, feed off a glorious group energy and move 'Your Body's Way'.

Their tap classes are a joke, utilizing the same moves from Kinderdance to advanced. Their gymnastics classes don't even get to flips, just cartwheels, and their jazz is average. Ballet is good. Her business is kept afloat by a few key families which you'll notice during their end of year recital because they are in 6-8 dances a piece. There is a heavy focus on costumes, props, and wandering around the stage rather than ACTUAL dancing, and their recital gets very boring very quickly. But that's just the icing on the cake- don't plan to use your card to pay for anything besides the classes- almost everything is cash only. Their teachers play favorites, and those that didn't departed abruptly in the middle of the year surrounding a few rumors that were less than kind about the owner. Regardless as to the truth of said rumors, it is quite obvious that there is a LOT of drama going on and it is significantly, (and detrimentally), affecting her business. There are several costs at various times that crop up out of nowhere- can't be in the parade unless the OUTER layer says Dance Kraze, have to wear the right colored tights (and if your class has two outfits, it's different colors for each), super expensive & poor quality pictures, etc etc. The end of the season is BRUTAL in unexpected expenses, so just be prepared. It's also run through her friends and family, which probably has a lot to do with the expense. With perhaps one exception (Thank you Jason), her event staff is indescribably rude and disrespectful, in addition to being inconsistent. Gods forbid you say anything about it, because they will get in your face and try to power play you to get you to cower in submission and retreat. Or ignore you. Or try to walk through you. Not a place I will ever be returning to. And yet the biggest problem is the fact that the recital was held in a school with LIVE CAMERAS and there were girls CHANGING IN THE HALLWAYS WHO WERE NOT TOLD, DESPITE the fact that the dance studio was informed. Well beyond acceptable to me. We will most DEFINITELY not be returning next year.

This studio encourages children to grow not only in dance but in self confidence. I have seen my girls bloom at this studio. They have made amazing friends had a great time and have learned to self love. Beyond the staff and the classes this studio fosters a dance family vibe. Parents here are so welcoming and are always quick to understanding, compassion and empathy. Everyone truly just wants everyone to feel welcomed and loved. I have made amazing friends at this studio and could not imagine where I would be without them. Although we all parent differently and have different views on different subjects our love for our kids seems to bond us all. This studio also goes above and beyond by making sure all dances and costumes are age appropriate as well as offering classes for everyone from mommy and me to adoptive to adult jazz and tap ( which is a blast) . I honestly could not emphasize enough how thankful i am for this studio and all they have done for not only for my children but for my whole family and our community.
