This is a hidden gem in Flushing. With so many dance studio's in Queens, this is the place to send…read moreyour kids for dancing. We found ourselves at Kaye's Dance Studio more than 8 years ago. Here's the rundown: Studio: It is in the middle of 163rd Street, right off Northern Blvd. With public transportation and the Long Island Railroad just a half a block away. Street parking is available. The studio has a front waiting room for parents to wait, along with a coffee station. They also have an area for little ones to color or read to help keep younger siblings occupied during classes. The studio has (2) classrooms, front room is the larger room but both are equipped with hardwood floors and mirrors. Class Size: This is where this studio excels. Most of the classes only have between 6-10 kids. Classes are taught by experienced and professional dance teachers, most classes have an assistant teacher. All there teachers are trained in all types of dance so they are able to incorporate all types of movement. Dance Teachers: You cannot find a better group of Teachers anywhere. We have been to other dance studios and what I have noticed that the teacher rarely comes out of the classroom. There were classes that my daughters took and I had no idea who the teachers where. This studio has teachers that are constantly speaking to students and parents. My daughters love all the teachers, we never have a "oh no not that teacher" moment. The Director, Ms. Darlene is very approachable and makes the dance studio a second home for her dance students. Types of Dance: They offer classes from toddlers to adults. They have tap, ballet. jazz, hip hop, contemporary, acrobatics and pointe. There studio has actually produced 21 Rockettes, yep 21 girls took classes and then became famous New York City Rockettes. They offer elite dance levels for students. You can also purchase dance shoes and dance clothes directly at the studio. Recital: They offer a dance recital to show off all there students. It is at the end of June and held at Queensborough Community College. The director sets a theme and ties the whole show together. My entire family attends every year and they cannot believe how talented the kids are in the show. Every year the show wows them more. This dance studio is an amazing place that has an environment that is filled with love, affection, encouragement and lots of hard work. We instantly felt at home and have watched our daughters grow daily as dancers. You don't always find places like Kaye's Dance Studio. If you are thinking about dancing for your child, check this studio first. You surely won't be disappointed.

If you are passionate about ballet and want to improve your techniques, Ms. Irina is the perfect…read moreteacher to guide you to the next level. She pays attention to details, gives valuable corrections, and helps her students achieve their utmost potential. Her classes are challenging but fun. The barre session starts from warm-up, then progresses through combinations that are so helpful to strengthen the muscles and improve the capabilities. Her solid barre exercises make one well prepared for the center, and importantly avoid injuries. If you take Ms. Irina's classes consistently and follow her guidance, you will find yourselves improve in a short period of time. I go to Irina's classes whenever I can and certainly have grown so much.

Words cannot quantify how valuable Ms. Irina has been to the ballet community through the years…read more Not only is she a gifted artist with gorgeous stage presence, fluidity and musicality- she is also an absolute master of a teacher. She has the ability to break down every technical aspect of the Vaganova method, all while coaching the emotions behind repertoire choreography for performers... I began studying recreationally with Ms. Irina when I was a teenager. At first I was intimidated, but then I realized what a rare gem she was! Even now that I'm in my 30's, I still "Zoom In" to her virtual classes because her lessons are still so vital to my life. I owe her my career! I briefly danced professionally in NYC. I moved to Pennsylvania during Covid, but I now have established teaching position at a pre-professional ballet academy thanks to the education I received under Ms. Irina... I always say "the day Irina retires is that day I have to quit my job. I am useless without her!" Even through Zoom, she keeps my brain sharp, and she keeps my body in shape. She challenges us while always teaching us with something new. She has a profound understanding of the body, and she can give corrections that most other teachers would miss. She is passionate and generous with her knowledge. Ballet lives and breathes through her. Any dancer that is serious about ballet- whether for the love of the art, or the love of knowledge- you'd be remiss to not take advantage of Ms. Irina!

To be honest I was historically avoiding JJ because of the rumor that there is parents go the line very early in the morning like 4/5 am to get the tickets for rehearsal, not sure if that is just a hype....Regardless, I like the customer service that they are providing because the owner seems very caring for the young kids who are dancing there. Also a dance system that they have and it seems very professional....Just wish that they are more active with using online website or email to communicate to clients instead of using good old town newspaper to announce the register dates....Stay tune... Right now so far so good with JJ

The teachers are passionate and professional. My daughter started at 3 years old in the ballet and tap class at the New Hyde Park location. This past spring she was in her first competition!

When Marianne expanded her business to the new location, we decided to follow her and her team! I highly recommend Forever Dancing Robert Mann to my friends and family, and hope anyone reading this will give them a try - you will not be disappointed.

It would be unfair to rate the place just according to one workshop that I took however I felt it…read morewas so mishandled I left disappointed and duped. So I'm throwing this out there so maybe they take notice and deliver better tango offer. I was invited by text message to take a tango workshop with Eran Who is their tango specialist I was told. I was excited for Sunday to arrive at 2 o'clock I was there promptly waiting with my tango shoes ready to take on a class I was told was going to be great. There was a variety of levels in the class and that's understandable as always. Then Alexey introduced us methodically to some steps and practice run. A very good teacher for the beginners and I was happy to get the chance to dance with someone who knew his steps. But I was confused as I was told our instructor would be Eran... but the lesson was sufficiently styled again for beginners. Then suddenly without much explanation a man named George took over the second half of the class and the structure completely disappeared. He repeated all that Alexey had spoke of and was absolutely over talked, under demonstrated and --sorry but as an Argentine milonguera and tango lyrics translator,-- I could not help but find it condescending to be instructed on the culture of tango by a Jewish Long Islander... it turned me off completely and 45 minutes later when we finally got a chance to practice what he called rock step and grapevine (terms unheard of in tango), I was done. Also one note: if you are a male beginning dancer please refrain from instructing the female out loud as if you knew more than she. Just Keep quiet, lead correctly and get out of her way so you don't trip, step, or block her. Men lead but do not rule. Take note. I've been searching for lessons around town and will continue to do so. Shame it was a shambles of a class.

Was not impressed with this studio at all. I received a random text saying I should write a yelp…read morereview. Do you want brutal honesty? You got it. I had high hopes of becoming a student at this studio November 2014. I'm the kind of person that knows exactly what I want when it comes to a dance studio; to perform showcases and dance with a partner that we both establish a great connection. Someone who enjoys teaching the way I enjoy learning. I was partnered with "Sasha" and he was nothing like that. Sasha a poor choice in every way. Strictly business, insulting, and instructed just to make money. We had four weeks until a showcase. He hated the song and dance I chose for our routine; we honestly just didnt see eye to eye on anything. I wanted to quit after the first lesson. The night of the showcase was a joke.. 30+ performers? I didnt perform until two hours later. Oh, and if you didnt pay the rediculous fee for dinner AND your performance, you were not allowed to eat that night nor sit. Rediculous. Also, Sasha was 45 min late so we barely had time to practice before we performed. He never aknowledged my existence that night, nor said goodbye when he left. I wrote a letter to the owner, Irina, explaining the whole situation as I'm telling it now. Nothing. No phone call, email, nothing. Just to "write a yelp review!" Here it is. Poor way to run your business when you charge rediculous prices.

After our first lesson, we felt a lot more confident in dancing and not memorize choreography. Therefore, we have signed up for more classes since they are so fun! I showed a YouTube dance clip to Kyle which we wanted to replicate but what he taught us was so much better! I definitely recommend this dance studio and give it 5 stars!
