Every member of the staff is charming, from Michael the owner, Moises, the "hostest with the mostest", and several fantastic dance instructors. My personal "dance team" consists of Kiki, flair personified; Sophia, the "drill instructor", and Denzel, the baddest man on two feet you'd ever meet. I dance bachata, salsa and the hustle with this crew, and am about to add the cha cha. I recently attended and danced at the big Medal Ball at the Surf Club in New Rochelle! Swank. And I couldn't have even gotten into the building without the kindness, focus and commitment of these great human beings. I am beyond grateful. Run, don't walk, and dance!

A friendly…read morerecommendation led me to Pole Position Dance Studio located in White Plains, just a few store fronts down from Mario's Pizza on Mamaroneck Avenue. For starters, the booking process was seamless. There were multiple packages to choose from, whether you just want to try out a class or fully commit. I also had no idea that they offered more than just pole! Some of their classes include Street Heels, Metamorphosis (which is a pole-less class; just straight dancing), and a stretch class! For transparency, I've never took a pole class in my life. While nervous going in, you can't help but immediately feel welcome. The owner of the studio, Taylor, was quick to greet me and the front desk girl, Jules, was as kind as could be! I can't even tell you how much fun I had at this class, and I wasn't even any good! Everyone in the class, not just the instructor, was so supportive and I quickly realized that this was more than just a class. It was a community. I loved it so much that the next week I invited one of my besties to join me! It was such a blast and I can't wait to book my next class!!

My (now) husband and I started lessons there to prepare a surprise salsa routine for our wedding first dance. We selected a song, and Alexi created the most incredible routine for us. We loved working with him, we had so much fun, and we really nailed that routine at the wedding! Our guests were so taken aback and three months later, still talk about it! We could not have done it without Fred Astaire and would recommend this studio for anyone wanting to learn a new dance style, but also for couples in general because it is a great experience to learn to dance with your partner!

In 6 short lessons, we not only learned how to dance but had a routine that wowed the crowd. We cannot express our thank to Irina and her patience with us.

Understand the mistakes are mine, not my partner's or Irina as I was the weak link. You can past the youtube link below: http://youtu.be/98ZBkxB5N2w They are awesome.

Mr. Ian and Ms. Sarah might be the sweetest, most caring people we've come across. You can tell they put everything they have into running this business and that each dancer is truly important and cared for. Our girl can be quite nervous and multiple times, the teachers have been able to give her a little extra TLC that gets her to the point of being comfortable enough to give it a try. It takes a special kind of human to keep 20 5-6 year olds entertained and paying attention and everyone here somehow does it with ease! Highly recommend.

Debra King and Aaron Thao run the Hudson Ballet Theatre, which most of the students participate in. Kids also take part in many outside performances such as DanceFest with performing arts educators who have performed at Lincoln Center, Kennedy Center, London Olympics. This school actually gives kids great opportunities, not just learn the dance recital routine. Some names to mention: Katie Jo Flanagan and Ashley Flanagan, Katie Eshbach, Eliana Wenick. I have studied and performed with with FRAN for years and she is a true and talented professional with very creative choreography.

Known specifically for its high level of Modern dance training, Steffi Nossen attracts some of the best teachers and choreographers in the industry. The difference? The Steffi community is truly a family. My sisters and I all danced here and have made friendships that have lasted far beyond our high school years. While some who train here go on to a professional dance career, others have continued to find the joy of dance in all aspects of their life. We were able to work with choreographers like Patrick Corbin, Sidra Bell, Peter Pucci, Nancy Lushington, Michael Foley, Annmaria Mazzini, Sabatino Verlezza and Pam Tanowitz. We were able to perform as young girls in the outstanding SUNY Purchase Performing Arts Center, and other prominent venues in NYC. Steffi Nossen's studios are beautiful and centrally located in White Plains. In addition to Modern training, Steffi Nossen has incredible ballet, jazz, hip hop, and tap classes as well. I began at SNS at age 3, and I know many others who spent their childhood years here too. Without a doubt this school is unique and special. It's not just the best school in Westchester, Steffi Nossen also boasts a thriving foundation that seeks to bring dance to all people - regardless of personal circumstance. Their Moving Wheels and Heels program features adaptive dance for both stand up and wheelchair dancers. As a student at the school, I was able to work with this program. As a young woman, being able to not just hone my own technique, but also give back in such a fundamental way, was truly remarkable. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for high caliber dance training in a supportive environment. Steffi dancers stay connected long after high school. I am honored to be part of this community.

Hello, The front…read moredesk staff, especially Daniella is great. (I am starting with the positives) If not for BILL SCHUCK who is my personal trainer, I would have jumped ship a long time ago. He is by far the best trainer I have had in my many years of training. I have been a member for about three years. It has steadily gone down hill since then, most notably in past six months. There are no toilet seat covers in the ladies locker room. There are two hand dryers, one of which doesn't work. Several machines have signs that say "work in progress", I am not sure why it says in progress because it has been there for over two weeks. There used to always be toilet seat covers, I am not sure what has changed, I used to see a woman cleaning during the day and everything was in great shape when she was there. I don't see her anymore. I would like to recommend the gym to my friends who are interested in a gym. I would not do that now unless things change. Please advise regarding any progress you can make re the above. Thank you. Roberta S.
