The community at Hochstein is so warm and welcoming- seeing our friends at "the orange music school" has quickly become my little one's favorite part of the week.

You won't be disappointed!

The…read moreteachers are great, and if you're struggling take time to demonstrate/explain things until you're able to get it down. The classes themselves are kept small enough so each student can get individual attention if needed, and the instructors do a good job of making sure everyone is comfortable with moves before moving onto something else. There's also a really good sense of camaraderie here, not only with the students but the instructors as well. Once you're in a class, it starts to feel like family. You're not just treated like another student, and by your third or fourth lesson you'll see that everyone knows you by name and vice versa. If you're looking for a fun workout that's not boring, I would highly recommend checking this place out.

Instructors, the front desk, their advertising and everything will tell you that unused classes will roll over to the following month, but no one will ever explain to you there's a cap to the amount that roll over until after you're automatically charged hundreds of dollars for months of classes that don't exist. If you explain to them your family member is dying and you were too busy taking care of their hospice plans to attend classes and had no idea this policy existed and ask if there's anything they can do to help you, they will tell you that you signed a contract and should've read it better. I have loved the classes here, but my heart is broken over their lack of communication and compassion. This is incredibly unfair, and I just want you to know the reality of what you're signing up for before you get trapped by predatory policies and fine print no one will ever mention like I did.

Denise did not take children under two years old but made an exception and took my daughter. Since then both my daughters have danced with Denise and now my very shy four-year-old great-niece is dancing with her and just performed in her third dance recital! Denise's program is unmatched and the children really love being able to have fun in a non-threatening learning environment. Denise is kind, patient, loving and just all-around amazing with the children. I would highly recommend her program if you have little ones looking to have fun while dancing!

So much so that after only 4 months of dancing, she said, "when I grow up, I want to be an Irish Dance teacher like Coach Amy." Amy is a great dancer and instructor and the students all love her. We found Dunleavy because of a class she offers through the Pittsford Rec center which was exactly what we needed at that time, and now she has joined the older girls at The Dunleavy Studio.

It was easy to get in and out with plenty of parking. When we arrived lines were long for the bathrooms and bar. Only two bathrooms were available, each a single private room. There was a photo op display for the show which was fun. The drink menu was customized to reflect songs and characters in the show. I went to the bar during intermission and got up quick enough to avoid lines. The theatre itself was large. We had front row seats and did not realize just how close to the stage those seats were. The performance was wonderful and it was an intimate experience being so close to the performers. I was pleased with our seats and thought they were worth the price. Absolutely loved the show!

However, there were some frustrations. When purchasing tickets, it wasn't made clear that this was a high school student production, which led to different expectations. The biggest issue, though, was the venue itself. The café space was much more cramped than advertised, and the seating chart didn't accurately reflect how tight the setup would be. There were just two of us, and it already felt uncomfortable. If the table had been full, it would have been extremely tight--likely to the point where we would have left. I appreciate the effort from the cast, but clearer, more honest communication about both the type of production and the seating arrangement would make a big difference.
