September 2024 update. We still love Center Stage and spend most of our week there these days…read more My daughter who I mentioned in an earlier review loved dancing there so much she is now one of their company dancer. My son who had just started tried a few classes on and off and he found his thing as a hip hop dancer. Both kids love center stage and their teachers too! We will probably be part of the center stage family for years to come. I still also highly recommend center stage for all dancers!

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.

Kalamandir of NJ is a Classical Kathak dance school located in central New Jersey which aims to…read morepass on the rich history of the North Indian classical dance as well as the specific technique of the Lucknow gharana. Under the guidance of Malabika Guha, students undergo rigorous and enlightening weekly training with the ultimate goal of becoming mature, poised "Katthakas," or those who tell a story. While reflecting on the vast, mixed history of Kathak, which draws its influence from Hindu temples, Persian culture, and Mughal courts, Kalamandir also seeks to place Kathak on a progressive platform where the traditional aspects of its movement are intact, but the form is placed on both classical and classically-based contemporary music. With special weekly classes based in "nritta" (pure dance), "natya" (expressive dance), and contemporary composition, Kalamandir of NJ has successfully been running since 1986 and seeks to continue spreading the rich culture of Kathak for years to come.

This is our third year at JJDA, and we've had a wonderful experience from the very beginning. Our…read moreseason began with Miss Carly and Miss Kaylee as the lead teachers for pre-ballet, with support from Miss Lily. My daughter was thrilled to have Miss Carly again, as she had loved her class the two year ago. When Miss Carly went on leave in March, Miss Kaylee stepped in seamlessly, ensuring the class stayed on track while preparing for the recital. My daughter is now also a huge Miss Kaylee fan! She has been absolutely fantastic--patient, encouraging, and skilled at teaching the fundamentals of dance to a group of energetic 4- to 6-year-olds, all while keeping it fun. We feel so fortunate to have Miss Kaylee this season--she's been instrumental in keeping my daughter excited and engaged in dance.

This gentle but intentional patience is balanced with expertise in teaching young minds how to understand their bodies and how to move. It's great to see them thriving and learning while having fun. My oldest daughter consistently chooses to take more and more classes. She also had Miss Jessica, who I credit to molding her and starting her on her dance journey, and has flourished under the wings of Miss Vanessa, Miss Felicia, Miss Jen, and Miss Jill. Whether or not your kid wants to do dance for a short time or a long time, you can't go wrong starting here at JJDA.

If you're a swimmer don't come here. Don't do it…read more I have been swimming with one of my friends at this YMCA for over a year. The AD knew and it seemed alright. The moment I moved and had to find a new Y I still made time to meet up with my friend to swim and work on her basics. I would swim laps, she'd work on her freestyle. Today management or someone who didn't tell me her name stormed in and told me to leave because I was "selling" lessons. ?????? This never happened. When I told her I was with my friend, she asked my friend if that was the case and she said yes, family friend. This made this manager (?) really angry and she claimed I didn't have a membership even though there's a national membership program. She tried to tell my friend she didn't have a membership and she has one too. This enraged her and she threatened to call security on me after she didn't get the answers that she wanted. Mind you, it was addressed over a year ago with the AD that I would come ON MY OWN TIME to work with my friend. She claimed I was "fighting" but I was seriously confused by this exchange and the threat of security when I didn't do anything was crazy! I don't feel comfortable going to this establishment ever again and I will not promote it either. How disheartening. Swimmers beware.
