    Miss Theresa is an absolute troll witch. I was attempting to do a "pay as you go" (her own words…read morevia Instagram) morning class with my 3 year old and she immediately scolded us that we were in the wrong place making my daughter upset and cry. I reiterated to her that I was in the right place and we were looking forward to this class. She continued being abrasive and giving zero guidance about how to "sign up" in the future if necessary. It was clear she just didn't want us there. After gathering my things and picking up my sobbing daughter she made a comment about me having an attitude and I told her to f*ck off. Wish I could give her zero stars. I have no idea why anyone would subject their child to this place.

    If you want your daughter to be the best and most confident dancer she can be, DO.NOT.COME.HERE…read more From my experience, my daughter shows she doesn't want to dance anymore because of this awful place. First off, the owner/teacher of this place is so discouraging. She always finds ways to hurt the dancers whether it is their fault or not. She always makes harsh comments and she says they are "corrections" when they are just words that discourage dancers. Next, the place is awful. It is so tight in there and the bathroom is DISGUSTING. She has time to hurt her dancers but not to clean the place. She also shows favoritism towards other people as well. It is obvious. There is no explanation needed. She is VERY UNORGANIZED AND SLOPPY. If you want your daughter to dance and have technique, don't even come here. She makes her dances slutty and disgusting as well as inappropriate. May I add on during the pandemic, my daughter was in the non-competitive team and Miss Theresa didn't wear a mask. She only wore one when somebody came and knocked on the door. THIS PLACE NEEDS TO BE SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY!!

There are two sisters that own the company and they are so sweet... In the dance business for over 30 years. This was my first year with them and I have two little beginner dancers. There are girls and boys (not many... but they are there) in the classes. Our classes ran from september till June. The school is reasonable and if you miss your scheduled lesson, you have the option to make it up on an alternate day as long as the same age group has a class - only problem is the different day may be doing a different routine. We just had our first dance recital. The costumes were priced reasonably and they were beautiful. The recital was at CSI and the venue was very nice for all. I really love all the instructors and the staff. I will be re-enrolling my girls here in the fall and highly reccomend this dance school to beginner dance families and experienced. They have extra classes in addition to tap and ballet and extra dance companies and clinics. Don't hesitate to enroll here!

    I respect others opinion but I like to express mine when it comes to sending my daughter to Dance,…read moreDance, Dance... I understand some of the reasoning behind teachers not wanting parents to watch during classes: I am totally against allowing parents to watch the class each week. I believe parents watching the class is a real distraction for the children. After all it is a 'class' where the children are learning... you aren't allowed to sit and watch your children at primary/high school to ensure they are progressing and behaving. Most teachers like myself are happy to talk to parents after class if they have any queries about their child. I am VERY against parents watching! Whenever they come into the room, they watch so closely and carefully, and all the girls get distracted by them! I don't think that parents should be able to watch dance classes, and thankfully they don't at the dance school my daughter attends. Dancing is a SCHOOL. DO parents watch their children 24/7 at SCHOOL? I don't think so! Dancing should be just the same! * If you watch the classes every week, then by the time the concert has come, parents aren't surprised and entertained by the routines. * You can't tell how much your child has improved by watching every week, as compared to once-a-year concerts or comps. * It is scary when you have, say 15 parents watching you closely each week. It leaves no time for imagination in class, and it all has to be work, work, work otherwise the parents might get angry. * If a student just started and is not doing well since it's their first time, they don't want 15 parents staring at then. This will prevent the child/ren not to participate because all eyes are on her. Having parents stay in the dance class is easily distracted and tends to make other students nervous. I think this is part of the reason's parents are not allowed to watch. Having been in both situations, I would say it's better for the parents to not watch, because otherwise it makes it so much harder for the child As far as the staff. I love that they are straight to the point. Yes, it may come off to some parents as if they are being rude but trust me, they are not. They don't sugar coat anything. They care about what they are doing. I love that they are an actual dance school that teaches just as if they were in a classroom. The structure they provided allows the students to build character and believe in themselves. We are the biggest critics when we are looking at our children at dance. Enough to get upset because we feel they are not paying attention. This could live a big impact on your child/ren because now they don't know who is correct you the parent or the teacher who is certified to teach the class. Ms. Melluzzo

    My daughter has been going here for years and has had a wonderful experience. The teachers (none…read moreof whom are the directors children) are knowledgable and friendly. One of the best things I like about the school is the fact that there are no recitals. They learn technique, how to dance, not just enough steps to get through a few minutes on stage. The other parents are GREAT we all work together to do fund raisers for this not for profit organization. This school does a lot of charity work. The children in the theatre dance class put on a performance once a month for the seniors and children who cannot afford tution are never turned away. There are many scholorships availible. The director is attentive to the children and truley cares for them. If you get out of your car and socialize with everyone you would know that it isnt clickish. The reason that she doesnt want people parking in front is because security gives tickets to those cars. If she catches you out there she usually says something.

I don't drink but I was able to order one of my favorite non-alcoholic drink: Shirley Temple and they did a beautiful job creating it. Surprisingly, bars do not know how to make a good Shirley Temple - They don't put enough grenadine but here they added plenty of grenadine and many cherries. Yum! Their bestseller drink was pale translucent sparkly pink served in a martini glass that looked so lovely - Even though I don't drink, I do appreciate the artistry that is involved in making this one. I came here with a group of friends for a painting party and upon arrival, we were welcomed with open arms. Everything was already set up with blank canvas, easel, paintbrushes, water and paint colors of pink, red, green, white, blue, black & brown. The painting for the evening was really pretty - It had a path with bright pink flowers on the side, green opening, blue sky, trees and moss. Our instructor was wonderful... He went step by step and was patient, funny and talented. He did a great job describing what colors we were to mix or use and what type of method to use for painting different parts. He answered all questions we had and helped individually where needed. As a result, I think my painting turned out pretty good! There are snacks available for purchase but the place also allows outside food so that was great... We munched on chips throughout and enjoyed my friend's birthday cupcakes during the break. I had a wonderful evening and am happy with my painting but I probably wouldn't go back because it's all the way in Staten Island so it would probably be easiest to go by car.
