They offer a variety of dance programs...and the year ending recital, held at the Patchogue Theater, is very well produced. The classes here tend to be smaller in size compared to the ones over at their other studio in St James. I can only guess, that is due to the greater number of dance schools in the Smithtown area. There are two class rooms, both with one directional glass, so parents can peek in and watch their children without being a distraction. The waiting area is not particularly large and can get a bit crowded, especially around the time classes end and another is about to begin. Another nicety of this location is it's proximity to several food establishments. There is a deli, pizza, chinese food. Quite often my wife will pick up a pizza for dinner on her way back there.

Sorry to say this is the worse Dance Studio to bring your child to! They favor families and made my…read moredaughter feel left out ! This was recommended to me. I expected my daughter to get the professional attention she deserves. However, the teachers worked with students that have been there for a long time. Over all the ballet techniques are not up to par. The recitals are on Memorial Day Weekend which is not cool. The parking is horrific. If you decide to park on Lake Ave be very careful as there are many blind spots. There floors are not good for jumps or leaps and can hurt the kids. She has since joined a new Studio where she was welcome with opened arms. The teachers are incredible with taking the time to actually teach a new student and the other students were excited to help. Remember it's not about the finances or politics it's about your child enjoying and learning at the same time. We found our home. Signed, Relieved to be gone !!!!!

There is covered seating outside as well.

I brought my 9-year-old daughter in for a free trial class at your dance studio yesterday evening…read morehoping to explore a new opportunity for her. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing and handled poorly. She ended up sitting in a cold room for nearly two hours while other students practiced. I understand they're preparing for a show, but no one gave us a heads-up that there wouldn't be a real class or that my daughter wouldn't be participating. The director actually told her to let them know when she needs a break. Had I been informed ahead of time, I would've gladly scheduled another day. I was just told to come pick her up at 8:30 pm. Instead, she sat and waited with no explanation, no apology, and no follow-up or offer to come back. My daughter left feeling discouraged and doesn't want to return. That says a lot coming from a child who was initially excited. Based on our experience, I can't recommend Plenty of Rhythm to others. Clear communication and basic professionalism were lacking, and that makes all the difference--especially when working with children.

POR has helped my once down on herself child, blossom into a child who is confident in herself to achieve anything she puts her mind into. My daughter has attended 2 other dance schools and this one is by far the best! All of the students who attend are respectful, kind, loving and they have this warmth about them to welcome anyone new to the class with open arms! My 7 year old has a dance family and I am grateful to Miss Theresa and the Plenty of Rhythm Team for adding her to this amazing family dynamic! I recommend them whole heartedly!!! My 2 year old son will join the family for the adorable preschool group as well! We are looking forward to so much with POR. Opportunities for Scholarship, auditioning for Competion Team, performances, dance camps and so much more!!! Feel so blessed to have found this company. Hope you join the family as well!

We definitely procrastinated as we waited till 3 weeks before our wedding to set up lessons, however that did not seem to be an issue for the people at the Ballroom of Huntington. They heard about our time constraint and immediately worked with us to get us into the studio as soon as possible. They are open late which is beneficial for our schedule. We were paired with Dennis who is an angel of a human being. He is a great teacher and was able to create choreography for our first dance and make it unique. He was very accommodating and even came in on a Sunday when the studio is closed to get us an additional lesson. By the end of our 4th lesson, we were ready to perform at our wedding and we only wish Dennis was there to witness it as I know he would have been very proud of us. The studio itself is a large space, however everyone practices in the same space regardless of if you are there for a group lesson or private lesson. It didn't make much of a difference to me and it provided us with a little audience. They have a great speaker system so they can play whatever song you want for your dance. The cost was on the higher end for what I expected, but I don't know what the cost of private lessons normally runs. Ultimately, we are very happy with our decision to use Ballroom of Huntington to learn our first dance.

His drum teacher, Ryan, is absolutely amazing. He reinforces what my kid does well and encourages him to push himself and try new genres. He advocates for him to find songs that he likes and can do at just a little bit above his current level, so every season he grows. Not only does he help my kid with the rock performance, he is incredibly knowledgeable about NYSSMA and concert band performance. Then, COVID happened. SoR did not skip a beat. Online classes were about as good as online classes could be. And as soon as they could get back in person, they developed an impressive plan that met and far exceeded all safety recommendations: distancing; masks when possible, pods when not; temperature checks; outdoor concerts; microphone sanitation...every concern I could have thought of and more.
