Anyway, I grew up and danced with both owners. I believe I know some of the other teachers there as well. CDE's level of teaching dance supersedes that of any other dance school in the entire tri-state area. Bank on that. Many of their students have gone on to the best Performing Arts High Schools as well as top notch Colleges. Many/most students get scholarships and are awarded high honors, join a major ballet company, end up on Broadway (Rockettes or Musicals), or teach at prestigious dance companies all over the globe. Competitive? Yes, of course. They are great enough to be. If your child has the skill and the drive to take it all the way then you WANT CDE. You want them to be trained by the best in the business. If you want to be coddled, lied to, and to be taken advantage of financially: go to a dance school that has the teacher's name in it. Ms Joy's School of Dance will gladly take your money and lie to your child about his/her skill level. Think of it like this: if your child wants to dance as a once a week hobby or a recreation: CDE might not be the place for them but they will make sure they dance like a pro anyway. If you think your kid may want a lifelong career in dance, desire to try out for any of the tv dance shows out there, compete at a high level, dance on Broadway, teach dance, or anything of the sort: you WANT CDE.

I just wanted to share the amazing experience I had watching CDE recital recently. I do not have…read morechildren enrolled at CDE, but was lucky enough to be invited to watch their 2018-2019 recital. I was super impressed with their amazing show from beginning to end. The skills of the dancers were absolutely solid, the choreography was beautiful, the choices of music and numbers were modern and beautifully executed and the costumes were stunning. I felt that I was at a professional dancing company performance the whole time. I loved how they integrated classical ballet techniques into the non-ballet numbers to showcase the solid skil-set foundation of their students. All in all, I was immensely impressed. Spectacular job of both teachers and students! Congratulations to owners, teachers and all the dancers on a fantastic performance and thank you to Christina Manousos for graciously providing me with an opportunity to watch it.

The greedy money grubbing daughter took over this place and now they treat every child like they…read moreare cash. Every child is supposed to get a full recital dance regardless of their skill level but at this school they pretend they are too good for that. They will admit to this in their reply. They will say my daughter is a beautiful dancer (yes) but she was not good enough to get a recital dance (no). They don't actually care how well your daughter dances, they care how much money the parents spend. This is not a great school it is a snobby school. I was the worst dancer at my ballet school and I was better than all the dancers at this place. When I took a class at Metuchen dance the teacher said WOW. My daughter danced at Metuchen dance center for 4 years. This is not a lie. I also took a class there for a year. I know this place well. This year they did a ballet. My daughter was in the hobbit dance, or so I thought. Just before the recital my daughter noticed that she and 2 other kids were standing still for most of the dance, while the rest of her class were dancing. It gets worse. At the actual performance she and these 2 girls were at the far far back of the stage, by the back curtain. They were separated from the rest of their class by a huge distance. They weren't in the second row, they were way way back there. They were background decoration. The rest of her large class were dancing at the front of the stage and for a much much longer time. When I complained about how upset we were that my daughter had to stand still and watch the rest of her class dance her dance, a teacher and the head of the studio insisted that all the dancers were dancing for the same amount of time. It's not possible to lie about objective facts. Everybody can see the video and everybody can count. The rest of the class danced for much longer than my daughter. Then Miss Kerri actually told me that my daughter was lying about being upset about this, because she knew the dance was done a month ago. How awful can you be? Don't give your money to these people. They will treat your child like trash and they will not apologize.

I highly recommend this business as well as our instructor who had a great energy that helped me get past my "two left feet"!

She transformed us from complete amateurs into a couple that looks like we've been dancing together for a year. Felicia has the perfect balance of professionalism and humor. She keeps us laughing while helping us move gracefully and naturally. Our routine is complex yet elegant, easy to follow, and fits our chemistry perfectly. She's a true professional who knows exactly what style suits each couple best. Every class feels like a mini escape from wedding stress. It's become one of our favorite parts of the week. She genuinely cares about her students, gives us homework to keep improving, and celebrates every little win with us. If you're looking for a dance instructor who's talented, fun, and truly invested in making you shine, Felicia is the one. We couldn't be happier or more grateful for the confidence and joy she's brought us heading into our big day. We will be continuing dancing classes with her after our wedding for sure!

I was passive aggressively body shamed by my dance instructors. All of the larger students were sent to the back of the dance while all the skinnier dancers were in the front. From my perspective, your position in dances was based solely on size and weight and not on skill. I have many friends who also had similar experiences with this dance academy. While I did learn some, I mainly developed the skill of doubting myself in everything I do, specifically dancing. I attended Flair for 4 years, and even after all those years Ms.Amanda, the owner and my instructor for 3 of the 4 years, couldn't remember my name. It was most likely because I was in the back for almost all of the dances I was in and didn't conversate with any of the other dancers besides her favorites. Overall, Flair Dance Academy taught me some dance but overall made me have serious self image issues.
