Back in 1992, I moved from NYC, where I had been teaching dance for 20 years and trained with top…read moreschools like the Joffrey Ballet School, Broadway Dance Center and others. I trained many dancers who turned pro. When I came here, I could not find good schools close to where we moved. I found this school and it was wonderful. My daughter and I took classes there and were very impressed. It was hard to continue because it was a trip from where we lived, and during the weekdays, I was a single mom of 2, due to my husband's work away from home. I opened my own school, locally, and it was successful for 15 years, until I retired from ownership and passed it onto others. I retired, temporarily, from teaching (since 1973) due to bad knees. Once I had them replaced, I called the owner, who is a colleague of mine who had judged for me at my competition, to take some classes to get back to dance. She asked me to also teach. I've been teaching there and am still so impressed with, not only the professionalism, but the moral and ethics, that match mine, that I find are lacking in some schools, I love working there and how she, and the staff, truly care for the well-being of the dancers. Michelle will not abandon her ethics, just to make a parent, or child, happy. Her standards are too high, thank goodness. I am so happy, after the few years I took off from teaching and dancing, to be at this dance school. I love the fact that their annual student demo concert does not charge fees for costumes, or concert fee. Only ticket sales. It is run beautifully, and I love working with professional teachers who think like me and have the background of excellent training, not just as dancers, but as teachers. If you are looking for an ethical school for your child, or yourself, with people who care more about you than what you can bring to them, this is the place. Thanks, Michelle Wurtz, for bringing me on board, in my later years, and giving me back my passion and the joy of teaching, again.

The fact that this group has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center and at the Olympics tells me that their instruction and execution is first rate. I will continue to recommend this hidden gem to all of my friends in the area. The low cost for the quality of education my kids have received is amazing. Check them out.

This place is HORRIBLE for live music. If you're there to actually listen to a band - like, if…read moreyou've paid for tickets to hear the music, forget about it. I don't understand it, but it seems like the folks are just there to drink and have screaming loud conversations. That's fine and fun if you have not, again, paid for a ticket to HEAR A BAND. So, if you're not sitting within a few feet of the stage, it's hard to give the music a good listen. And if it's an acoustic set, you're probably out of luck altogether. We paid a bit extra for seats in the balcony and it was sweet the way they put nametags out to save our spots, but the noisy crowd directly behind us, non-stop, made it necessary to abandon those seats. The lower level wasn't much better until we moved very close to the stage. If there had been a big crowd, we would have been out of luck. Other friends have had similar experiences. The cocktails were expensive but yummy. The place was clean and cute. It's a shame the crowd was so rude and there's nothing anyone can, or will, do about it. This region has some great live music venues; this is not one of them.

Visited here for Valentine's Day Haunt. I didn't realize how big it was. They have like 4 different…read morehaunted houses for this event. They did a good job of trying to scare you with using fog or light that blinked a lot. I do feel like they could have done a better job with the haunting. Like there was one section where there was a tunnel and it was too foggy to see anything. There were a ton of mannequins you had to walk past. I think it would have been nice if they would have had some actual people in there so they could come back from behind and scare you. The haunt also featured palm readers and had a bar where they were also playing live music. There were some characters dressed up near the bar as well which was interesting. The staff was really friendly and took an ample amount of pictures for us. If you bought premium tickets, there was a separate line and they had access to a VIP bar as well (to be honest, it didn't seem worth it to me but I also wasn't drinking).

I have to say that we throughly enjoyed our time at pennhurst. I think some of the actors and even…read morethe robotics/animaltronics whatever you call them were amazing. I don't scare easily at all and one of them actually got me. I did not like the spin bridge thing I was dizzy but I get that the point. I don't like that you dint have a choice of which order to do the attractions in that you have to do them in order and there's nothing really in between like a bonfire or snacks, bathrooms were plentiful though. Also my favorite part of haunted places is always the hayride so I missed that but again everything that was there was really good. The asylum part itself was the best part. There was some sort of incident at the end and we were rushed out and it was hush hush so we didn't get snacks or shopping at the end but it's ok the kids got frosty's at Wendy's on the way home. I would recommend and do it again.

With the help of group and private lessons, we surprised all of our guests with a sensational dance (that included a bunch of aerials). After our wedding, we continued lessons and will have many years of dancing with swing kat to come. It's a great way to get out and have fun.. even if you're not the best dancer to begin with. All of the instructors are incredible and welcoming. Definitely sign up for a class.. you will not regret it!

This is my favorite dancing venue in the area. I honestly am a little sad no one has reviewed it…read morealready, but am happy that I get to be the first one. What makes this the best place to dance? Hands down it is the friendly people. Everyone is super friendly and will ask you to dance. Even better there are a lot of great dancers here, but even if you are not, don't worry, the advanced dancers are very nice about dancing with you and showing you moves. The owners of this place, Faryl and Bijal are the sweetest people. What they never complain about and what people almost never see is that often they stay for 2-3 hours after the dance to clean up the facilities by themselves. One night I was chatting with Bijal and decided to stay and help clean while continuing our chat. I looked up and it was incredibly late and we were only half done (needless to say, I stayed and finished helping because I couldn't bear thinking about how tired they both must have been). On a happier note, one reason why it takes so long to clean is because the dance floor and venue is HUGE! It is by far the best and biggest dance floor in the area. Some people like it cozy, but I like room to really dance it out and do all my hand and arm motions without hitting anyone. The place is a little old, but has an old world charm to it. The music is always wonderful, but it is a rotating DJ system. This is a great thing, however, because there are multiple people doing the job, you get to experience a variety of music at a multitude of tempos with a myriad of attitudes. The food offered is usually just simple snacks, but on special occasions, they usually have an amazing spread. A lot of times people will bring their favorite dishes and pitch in. As stated earlier it is a very tight community. I really just can not say enough good things about this place. A quick tip: Although closer street parking is available, there is a parking lot on the corner, about half a block away (I hate walking, so I always take a chance I will find something closer hahaha).

Admission was reasonable and enjoyed the self-guided part while waiting for the next tram departure time. There was everything you could imagine - except one thing! A TELEX MACHINE (which I used to operate). When I asked the staff if they had one none of them even knew what I was talking about (early 20's)! We took the tram tour and really enjoyed it. The tram moved at a nice pace so you could really take in everything. So much to see - everywhere. It was a really fun way to spend a few hours on a rainy day! But I urge you to visit rain or shine!

The tram car goes at a super slow speed so you have time to take everything in. The tour is guided by a pre-recorded audio track but sometimes the driver will provide information as well.

Some of the items are truly impressive and there's definitely plenty for everyone to point out and find and enjoy. Highly recommend this fun attraction.
