The parking area for this location is smaller than the Smithtown location and on days where they have observation performance I can see it become very chaotic very quick. This was a regular lesson night and I was lucky enough to get the last open spot. The lobby is very narrow, with seats lining the walls for parents to wait for their children to finish class. The classes are held in two rooms, one on the 1st floor and another larger room upstairs. The room downstairs has a small window where curious parents can peek in watch their child dance. The room upstairs has a video camera set up and the lesson is displayed on a large flat screen TV in the lobby. My wife usually takes her to class...so I don't usually get to see what it's like...but it was mad house. My advice...sit in your car and wait.

This place is too expensive and too populated. My daughter went there and did not like it at all…read more The parking lot is small but I get it they don't have much room. My daughter felt judged there, she would do a leap and the other girls would look at her weirdly and stare at her. My daughter then went somewhere else and loved it! The recital is way too long and the prep and nonsense for the recital is ridiculous they expect me to pull my daughter out of school so I could bring her to the dress rehearsal. They are way too expensive and I have to work extra hours to pay for one dance class! As the only parent in the house hold it was not my favorite place either. So happy we switched!

Being that the studio was 20 minutes from my house I was hesitant to make the commitment. We decided to try it out for the year and see how it went... Now, 9 years later, I have to say it was the BEST decision I've ever made for my daughter. My daughter has learned so much more than just how to dance. She has learned about hard work, commitment, setting goals and doing what it takes to reach them. We have made friendships that will last a lifetime, as everyone at the studio has become a second family. To make it even better, the new studio is AMAZING!

It was such a great feeling to be performing at the theater I grew up watching movies in. The…read moretheater is just beautiful and the staff there are amazing as well. We performed there on 8/30/25. We are the Soul Jam Revue. The venue is full of that same charm that was there back in the 60's, 70's and on. I walked around taking in the movie shadows boxes (micky mouse) and this brought back so many memories! The seating there is all brand new, comfortable and spacious! I highly recommend getting there for a show in the future. I can't wait to see when they put up the new marquee!

Over the years we've seen some incredible performances over the year, from Vic DiBitetto - Tara Cannistraci, Christmas performances to various concerts. Did I mention free parking? I mean, you have free parking at Westbury Music fare but its a nightmare once the concert is over. At The Staller Center, everyone leaves in an orderly fashion, there's no rushing after you leave the performance. Hey, we're polite in Stony Brook! The Staller Center has a very nice seating arrangement. The seats are positioned where you aren't contorting to the side if a giant sits in front of you. The acoustics for the theatre are also of high quality, I heard iLUMINATE rock this theatre with their amazing sound! We're all proud of our town and The Staller Center for the Arts is the crown jewel of the neighborhood.
