There is no arguing that this dance school is excellent in teaching children how to dance however…read morethe way they hold their recital is not safe. Other dance schools will have you SIGN OUT your own child before they let you leave the recital venue but this is not true with this dance school. They had let my 6 yrs old daughter go on her own to some desk close to an exit door. When I went to pick my daughter up in the classroom where she stayed during the recital i was told that "she went with somebody she was happy to see" the person who is "supposedly" watching her could not even tell me whether it was a male or female that picked my daughter up which just shows that this so called "guardian" was lying. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! She could have been abducted and they would have not known it. This is a horrible experience and totally not worthy of my child.

GOD came highly recommended by many of the friends we made locally, and I am so grateful to all of them. My child has flourished in this studio; Miss Beth, Miss Alyssa, and the other teachers love the students like their own children, and I have always felt welcomed as part of their dance family. Miss Patti in the office is fantastic, as well, and we love seeing Mimi! My child has learned so much about teamwork from Miss Beth, and the support and mentoring provided by the older dancers has been an inspiration to us. I can't imagine us at any other studio, and I'm beyond honored to be part of the GOD family. Thank you Miss Beth for the wonderful studio (and second home) you provide our dancers. We love you!

This is a very good dance school if you want your child to be part of a competition dance troupe…read more My daughter has taken dance classes at other dance schools and we always expected the recital to be around 2-2.5 hours long. This dance school was the exception as their recital lasted over 3.5 hours and was followed by 20 minute speeches from various adults thanking everybody, then followed up by handing out individual awards to students on stage. We arrived at the recital at 3:30pm (show started at 4pm) and finally got in our car at 8pm. There was a 15 min intermission in order to stretch our legs and get the circulation moving again. The recital consisted of 52 dance performances. Out of the 52 performances about 30 if not more of them were performed by their competition dance troupe. The dance troupe did a beautiful job, and they all are very talented dancers. It was a joy to watch them dance from large groups, small groups and individual dances. Not sure why they needed to perform over 30 different dances as they should have performed a lot less in order to give us a preview of what they are all about. I also found out during the show, my daughter did not get to see any of the performances as she was sitting in a room and watching a movie with her group.

Our studio closed due to COVID and now Headliners stole our money with absolutely nothing in return. Completely unethical and horrible way to be role models to kids. Implorable business. Show your kids they have a voice to stand up to businesses that do not have kids best interest but would rather take their money.

I've been taking pole classes at Flight Risk Aerials (at their new studio in Randolph) for about 5…read moremonths now, and I absolutely love it here! I took a few aerial and lyra classes as well and I was very impressed with those classes too. Every instructor here has their own style, which makes every class unique, educational and interesting. The classes are normally relatively small (3-12 people depending on the day), so you get lots of individual attention and feedback from the instructors as well as whole-class instruction. Oftentimes we have to share poles, but this means that you make a friendship with your pole mate, which is a huge part of the experience in my opinion. The ceiling is very high, so we have very tall poles which makes moves that involve climbing, inverts, descents, etc. a lot more possible. This is a relatively small studio so naturally you will have more advanced folks coming to intro class sometimes and vice versa. Whenever there are many people in the class of different levels (i.e. some beginners, some intermediates, etc) the instructors always do their best to accommodate everyone no matter their skill level. I look forward to the studio offering more advanced classes soon. I've made many great friends coming here, as it is an incredibly thriving, inclusive community. It's always a very supportive, body-positive environment in my experience. I will certainly continue to take classes here as long as I live in NJ. I'll never go to a run-of-the-mill gym again. If you get the monthly membership, you get your money's worth after just 7-8 classes, which if you go more than twice a week is definitely worth it. Would highly recommend Flight Risk Aerials to anyone looking to get into pole, aerials or lyra!

Thank you for your response... it took awhile. I stand by my original review. Instead of trying to…read moreargue with me, you should take more time looking into my complaints. Doing so could only help improve your business. Your business is lovely, customer feedback should be appreciated because it will help make it even better. Notice you used the term "Almost Stolen", not me but we'll continue in that direction. Back to my complaints I had no idea what I needed, shorts, tights, shoes, sneakers, flip flops, so I over packed - THANK GOD!!!What the person that attempted to steal out of my bag didn't know is that they would have needed to empty out all of the things in my very large bag in order to get to my wallet. I am certain that someone outside of my group attempted to steal something out of my bag. My group was in the back room and people were walking back and forth past our belongings. There were other people in and out of your establishment during our session. So I don't know why it's so hard to understand the security issues. I was just warning your guest to be careful with their belongings. I don't see your issue with this.

As a parent, I've watched my son grow not just in strength and technique, but in confidence, discipline, and pride--all thanks to Coach Erik's unwavering commitment. This season was a masterclass in excellence: * State Champions - Our boys delivered standout performances across all apparatuses, earning All-Around titles and event golds * Regional Dominance - Levels 4,5, 8 and 9 came out on top, showcasing clean routines, powerful execution, and true team unity * East Coast Nationals - With numerous top 5 finishes, our gymnasts proved they're not just competitors--they're contenders on the national stage Coach Erik brings a rare blend of technical precision and emotional intelligence. He knows when to push, when to encourage, and how to bring out the best in every athlete. Whether it's a stuck vault or a breakthrough on rings, he celebrates every win--big or small--with the same passion. He's not just building routines. He's building young men who believe in themselves, support each other, and represent the sport with pride. We're lucky to have him. The sport is lucky to have him.

It's creepy and interesting (kids were freaked out...ha). Cons Some of the shows are long and can be longer than a kids attention span. Prices are high.

There has not been a review of this place in years. I am not spewing lies I am simply stating my experience. Lynn, the owner, has put too many things in writing to dispute the facts. She can clearly use her mouth to spread lies but my attorney and I have all the written words from her. She wrote to me she knew I was leaving the studio for weeks so she treated my daughter poorly in class for that duration and not only did she throw my child out of dance she now refuses to return the monies which are mine and she has so stated in writing they are mine. She wants a settlement agreement. A settlement agreement? What has she given me? Nothing - not even the money she owes me. It's criminal. She is a common thief who wishes for me not to speak ill of what she has done. Her actions are heinous. How can I not warn others? She decided to toss my child two weeks before recital because I said the truth that the studio is filthy and smells of sewage. The reality is she knew we were leaving and wanted to make my child's experience sour. Her actions were retaliatory for me making a decision not return the following year. Shame shame on you Ms Lynn. I had decided many months ago to leave the studio next year. I, as a customer, fulfilled my obligation and would have never reneged on a commitment for the year. What kind of integrity would it show not to fulfill a commitment? Clearly not the role model I want my child to grow up with. She did not like what I had to say .... She never approached me..... She never asked why...... She simply does not meet her contractual obligations. She made a huge error to put it in writing that she knew we were leaving and she made a list of all the monies she owed to me. First she robbed my daughter of a good dance experience than she robbed me of my money. I have watched Lynn discipline children and punish children as she fits without consulting the parent. She threw another child out of the studio just a few short days after my child. She is a wild card. Teachers are leaving....students are leaving and a lot of kids are dancing elsewhere. You are the company you keep. Word of mouth is a powerful tool. Original review I found this dance studio to be down trodden,filthy and antiquated. I have heard that the health department made a recent visit. I do not feel this studio promotes a professional atmosphere. We decided to leave and I wish we did it sooner.
