Worst experience ever. I took my daughter there to see if…read moreit would be a good fit. I purchased a Living Social voucher to try their studio. We ended up thinking it may be a good fit as it is in my town and my daughter like some of the teachers. We signed a one year contract. We were told my daughter could try out other classes they offered to just go in or stay if it is the next class offered. I tried doing that and let her stay but she called me a short time after the class was to start and said she was waiting with the teacher and they were closed. They changed the schedule around without posting it. When it came time for the recital there were male photographers in the girls changing area (which happened to be the cafeteria) moms were not allowed back there to help their children but there were male photographers there. Shortly after I found out about this I called to let them know I thought that was completely inappropriate as many of the children get completely undressed while changing and especially with the younger children without having their parents their to help. I was told by Kim (co-owner) that is where they take the group photos and they have used these photographers for a few years. I advised that the photographers can set up in a hall like most dance schools do. Parents were made aware that kids need to be dropped off and parents cannot stay we were never made aware that there would be male photographers in the same room as our children who were doing costume changes. That would never sit right with me and I told her unless parents are allowed to help their children get changed and male photographers are not allowed to be in a room full of changing minor children that we wouldn't be back. A short time later NYC PAC debited our bank account for a full year of tuition. They were very nice while you are signing up with them but horribly disrespectful If you have a problem

When we came here and found out this would not be tolerated from parents or kids, I felt so relieved. At our old studio, in the last year of the new owner, my child's dance skills regressed. In these past few months at Next Level, all of my kids skills increased tenfold, as well as their confidence, and their anxiety lessened. My daughter was still able to be a part of the competition team and have a solo even though we were new. They believe in my kids and they care about them. We love Miss Gina, Ms. Dee, Ms. Katie, Ms.Ashley, Ms.Sharon, and Ms. Carissa. And what we have learned from the ballet teacher, Ms. Larissa, and her amazing structure and experience with Russian ballet is unmatched. She is strict but my daughter adores her because she cares so much. In the past, she hated ballet, now she wants private lessons with her - she is a miracle worker! I highly recommend this school!!!!

I discovered this store through an Ebay listing last month because I was looking for a DSLR I…read moreneeded for my photography class at the university, and I wanted to get one that wouldn't break me. (As a college student, you can imagine my budget isn't exactly sky high...) I needed to get the camera sent to me quickly, so I called to ask if they could ship it sooner than they advertised on said Ebay listing. They had sold that one already... But the guy I talked to, (I really wish I could remember his name. He was super helpful and easygoing,) said he had another one just like it, and in better shape! Not only that, but he would send it to me -- along with all the other equipment I needed as per the syllabus -- for just over 900 bucks! I had budgeted no more than 1000 dollars for the camera alone, so this was a sweet deal indeed. Fast forward almost halfway into the term: my camera works as expected, and I'm getting good grades on my assignments. If it weren't for these guys, I probably wouldn't have found the camera I needed in time without going over budget. Thanks, Photo Center. Y'all are the best!
