Madi has worked with multiple instructors and we appreciate each and every one of them. They each have unique way of working with the dancers and they are passionate about what they do. They are all incredibly talented including The competition teams. They offer summer and spring camps. They also offer weeks to tryout multiple styles of dance and get an opportunity to see what your kid likes! We have done Hip Hop and are currently in Acro Techniques and Musical Theatre. This studio has personally built confidence, strength, balance, character, speed and even social skills and etiquette in my daughter .

She's changed from being a shy uncertain girl to a more confident girl. She gets so excited learning hip hop moves and learning a choreagraphed routine. Fast forward and now we're going to her first recital this weekend at a local theater. The teachers are helpful, encouraging and know how to work with other children's age levels and maturity. Parents are welcome to watch through zoom or peek through the door with glass. We look forward to more classes and seeing where her interests follow her. If you're looking for something for your child to look into, this may be the dance studio for them.

As soon as I mentioned my daughter attends Bayer for ballet, the person on the phone told me "Oh we have the shoe in stock in all sizes," without even needing to have me ask if she had the style. The lady who helped us was friendly and helped us try on a few sizes so we could get a good fit. We were in and out of there in fifteen minutes. I saw they also sell leotards, pointe shoes and more; I'm sure we'll be back for our other ballet shoe needs.

What a wonderful store! I called in need of some last-minute leotards and Isabella was very helpful…read morein answering my questions. When I arrived, she had already set aside a few sizes of the leotard I needed so I could decide which was best. She also helped me find another leotard that I needed and was so kind and helpful. This store has a great selection of dance and gym wear and I will definitely be back to shop here again. The prices were very reasonable and the quality much better than the stuff I get when I shop online.

I've walked by this Capezio store multiple times without even realizing it is there. But it was there in my hour of need! Speaking of hours, their hours are a little bit tough to work with I believe 10 AM to 6 PM. I did stop by a few times at 10 AM and no one was around yet, but they definitely are open in the afternoons. The inside has way more merchandise than the small exterior hint at. And the owner definitely knows his dance shoes. He measured my feet and brought it out several options for me to try. All told, it only took me 10 minutes to get a new pair of ballet slippers, which I have been loving so far. Prices are slightly higher than what you would find online, but the service and immediacy of getting your shoes and the option to try on different styles and sizes makes up for the slightly higher prices.

And when I asked for a size smaller, a bit harder, any minor adjustment, no problem they had it in stock. In the end I was indecisive not because I didn't like any of them but because I liked all three final contenders! Amazing deals too: elastics come with purchase of shoes not separate purchase, 6th pair (or maybe after 6) is a free one. If only I had come here for my very first pair, I'd be getting a free one now haha Staff were also kind and helpful. The week before I brought in my Gaynor's with sinking issues and told them all the different solutions I had tried that failed. They were knowledgeable and let me try a sole liner which up til now works. And since they were out of stock they let us have their sample free of charge! And this week when I was trying shoes they had some comments about how certain shoes fit, but weren't pushy at all about which one I should buy. Not great with how indecisive I am but nonetheless very thoughtful. Will definitely be back
