TDN you are a challenge…read more As the parent of a student who went there for three years, I've had ups and downs with this place. The instructors seem to truly care, but our last two lacked discipline and classes can sometimes get rowdy. Quieter children, like mine, are in the shadow of louder kids who do a lot of whatever they want. Many guardians hang out in the lobby, but unlike other dance studios, there is no attempt to make a community of parents. The lobby in this location could also use a good deep clean. Songs and routines are fun and the kids are in to them. This is the good stuff. The location is also killer if you live in Lawrenceville. The recitals here are mixed. In some ways they are very fun. The first one we had at TCNJ went off without a hitch. The last two haven't been as smooth, and the practice for this last recital was a joke. They were incredibly disorganized, there was nothing for young kids to do backstage, and my wife waited for a while for a parent to show up. None did so she just hung out backstage for pretty much the whole rehearsal. At the end of the day, this is a decent dance studio. If you're not taking things too seriously and you're looking for a convenient location, you probably won't go wrong here. That said, we've had experience with a number of places, and this one wasn't exactly on the top of our list. As convenient as it was, we ultimately decided not to come back. This may or may not end up working for you.

I went with girlfriends & family for part of my cousin's bachelorette party. We had a BLAST! We brought some wine & snacks, and had the best time.

We are still talking about what a fun night it was. It was more about getting together and doing something different rather than painting something to bring home and hang. Will be back!

The only issue was that it didn't seem as though enough time was given for 9/10 year olds to successfully complete the task within 2 hours... that also included pizza and birthday cake time... and you know, just having fun! I believe some of the children's attention span wandered... and it was absolutely freezing in there... that didn't help the overall experience on a very cold, raw, rainy January day. Some pros were that there was plenty of parking in front on a Sunday. The assistant, Adrianna, was a very pleasant, helpful gem.. and the blankets (those that were finished) came out really cute and soft. Great idea, a little rusty in the execution.

This area seems to be building back up and I really hope it is!! There is so much opportunity here for a place that is great for day trips. The event I attended this past time was a Mommy and Me painting event. I took my 6 year old and we had a good time. The instructions were easy enough for him to follow and there was a basic outline that helped us paint in the right areas. After painting the kids were able to stuff their own penguin plushie which they really enjoyed! As we finished up the plushies, the cotton candy machine came out which all the kids were super excited about. The cotton candy was bigger than their heads and everyone got a real kick out of it. It was a really well executed event and we had a lot of fun. It was a nice way of getting out and avoiding screens on his day off from school.
