Sharon's Dance Studio has been around for 46 years. I have…read morebrought my Nieces there and recommended the studio to several friends. They have taken their children there and continue to recommend this fabulous place. Sharon, the owner...is not only kind, but she patient and compassionate. One of her students was ill...she went there with flowers to see how she was doing..Who does that? Her teacher's and the staff are equally wonderful. I had to write this review because not only do I continue to be amazed, but I highly recommend this studio.

I would highly recommend Gotta Dance. My daughter attends the Unicorn class (she's 4 years old) …read more There is a diverse set of children and the instructor (Mrs. Linda) is PHENOMENAL. She keeps the children engaged and I was pleasantly surprised by how much the children learned by the end of the year (given it's only a once a week class). The combination of their website and updates (at the end of class) keeps me informed of any updates and I'm very glad we chose gotta dance. My daughter looks forward to her class, every week.

I left this studio due to their lack of customer service.

I have two daughters who received their dance training from Andrea Kramer at Ballet Forte. They…read morestarted with her when she was in teaching in Warren, NJ but her reputation preceded her. It didn't take long for dance moms from other schools in the area to hear about Andrea's amazing pointe technique immediately after she landed here in Chester, NJ. Dancers improve so quickly with Andrea's teaching methods, you have to see it to believe it. Starting at a young age with proper technique is so much easier than having to relearn it properly. To share a personal story: one of my daughter's, who started dancing in diapers at age two, decided to stop dancing at the end of eighth grade. Instead, she cheered for both scholastic and competition teams in HS, but deep down I knew that she was not happy without dance in her life. We brought a dancer friend to meet Andrea during the summer before her senior year, and Andrea announced that she will be offering two dance tracks this year; contemporary and classical, and that my daughter should come and check it out. it was as if someone pinched her and said "go for it," and she said "I think I"ll try it." She has not stopped dancing since, and I am so grateful to Andrea for welcoming her back to her studio as a senior and helping to get her ready for college auditions. My daughter is proof that good solid technique is not forgotten, it's just put on a back burner for a little while until you are willing to go for it. My daughter is now a freshman at a wonderful conservatory, which would not be possible without the personal guidance and top-notch dance instruction from Andrea Kramer at Ballet Forte!

My daughter joined Ballet Forte after several years at a local "competition" based studio and her…read moredevelopment as a dancer and performer has grown tremendously!! Thanks to the individualized attention that is given to each dancer by owner/teacher Andrea Kramer. The level of instruction in Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz is the best in the area and the dancers are given real "performance" opportunities in NYC and NJ as well as opportunities to "compete" individually or as a group at YAGP and NYCDA. Her faculty, guest teachers and choreographers have tremendous professional dance experience and training that you will not find at any of the other local studios. Many of her dancers go onto the best ballet and contemporary dance programs including Julliard, NYU Tisch, Fordham Ailey while others not pursuing a BFA receive dance merit scholarships at well known universities! What ever your dancers goals are with dance, this is the place to be!

Jessica did a phenomenal job keeping kids safe not compromising on their learning. Ms. Jessica puts together an amazing show at the end of each school year where each kid performs on the stage so beautifully and artistically. She also offers a lot of other performing opportunities locally which kids love and is so good for their confidence. My daughter has been with ms. Jessica for around 5 years now and she looks forward to all her classes (i.e. jazz, tap, ballet, acting, musical theatre!!) and loves to practice at home non stop. Thank you Performing Arts 5678 and Ms. Jessica!!

My 3 daughters have been taking dance from Ms Jessica for several years. We love Ms Jessica and…read moreare continually impressed by her professionalism, solid skill set, creativity, kindness and dedication to enriching our community through the arts. Through Performing Arts 5678 my girls have had opportunities to perform in various events in the local community, which has been so fun to be apart of. Performing Arts 5678 offers a wide variety of classes so each of my daughters are able to learn different performing arts skills while continuing to build on skills learned from previous years. They have taken tap, ballet, jazz, and musical theater, all of which my they have enjoyed. They continue to build their performing arts skills in a wholesome, uplifting and fun environment, while making friendships with other students. As they gain new skills it has been most rewarding to watch their self confidence grow, not only in dance, but all facets of their lives!

I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who is looking to either have a limited number of lessons or who is in it to win it!

I took my 4 year old son here for 3 Bollywood dance classes in total. When my wife called up the…read moreplace initially, we were told that we could bring him for a trial class. This is the first time my son is taking any classes, so we weren't sure. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place given the following facts: - The 2 instructors (who take turn) are very strict and cold to the kids. I think younger kids need more attention and need to be encouraged rather than be spoken harshly. My elder 9 year old daughter has been going to an American Tap school for the last 6 years and I have seen the difference. - The place is unkempt. The three Saturday mornings I went, I found the carpet in the lobby to host all kind of trash and never vacuumed. Maybe the place operates on a lean staff and they do not have this covered. But not a good impression to give newcomers especially. - We had a tiff with the center on the fees. We were charged for the trial class even though we weren't told initially that this class would be charged (In my opinion a trial class is normally free unless stated specifically). Upon pointing this out, we were reimbursed the money in again a very cold hostile way. Hope the center realizes its mistakes in dealing with newcomers and takes this review in a positive constructive manner.

I love Washington Rock Dance ... is has been a wonderful provider of dance education for my family…read more They have so many different styles of dance available, from ballet and modern to tap and jazz, they have so much to choose from. They are also open to children who want to casually participate, and those who are interested in a more in depth pre-professional level of training. Regardless of which way your kid wants to go it will be challenging, fun and rewarding. They produce a Nutcracker each December, a spring recital and a yearly modern performance, as well as having a competition team. In the end, the reward is the sense of accomplishment that the children feel when they get to participate in these beautiful performances.
