    I have two daughters who received their dance training from Andrea Kramer at Ballet Forte. They…read morestarted with her when she was in teaching in Warren, NJ but her reputation preceded her. It didn't take long for dance moms from other schools in the area to hear about Andrea's amazing pointe technique immediately after she landed here in Chester, NJ. Dancers improve so quickly with Andrea's teaching methods, you have to see it to believe it. Starting at a young age with proper technique is so much easier than having to relearn it properly. To share a personal story: one of my daughter's, who started dancing in diapers at age two, decided to stop dancing at the end of eighth grade. Instead, she cheered for both scholastic and competition teams in HS, but deep down I knew that she was not happy without dance in her life. We brought a dancer friend to meet Andrea during the summer before her senior year, and Andrea announced that she will be offering two dance tracks this year; contemporary and classical, and that my daughter should come and check it out. it was as if someone pinched her and said "go for it," and she said "I think I"ll try it." She has not stopped dancing since, and I am so grateful to Andrea for welcoming her back to her studio as a senior and helping to get her ready for college auditions. My daughter is proof that good solid technique is not forgotten, it's just put on a back burner for a little while until you are willing to go for it. My daughter is now a freshman at a wonderful conservatory, which would not be possible without the personal guidance and top-notch dance instruction from Andrea Kramer at Ballet Forte!

    My daughter joined Ballet Forte after several years at a local "competition" based studio and her…read moredevelopment as a dancer and performer has grown tremendously!! Thanks to the individualized attention that is given to each dancer by owner/teacher Andrea Kramer. The level of instruction in Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz is the best in the area and the dancers are given real "performance" opportunities in NYC and NJ as well as opportunities to "compete" individually or as a group at YAGP and NYCDA. Her faculty, guest teachers and choreographers have tremendous professional dance experience and training that you will not find at any of the other local studios. Many of her dancers go onto the best ballet and contemporary dance programs including Julliard, NYU Tisch, Fordham Ailey while others not pursuing a BFA receive dance merit scholarships at well known universities! What ever your dancers goals are with dance, this is the place to be!

    Love this place. My 14 year-old just signed up for her third year. What really sets Freestyle apart…read moreis that it's truly all about the love of dance. While there is a competitive dance team that students can audition for, the week-to-week class focus is on learning and dancing. We've tried other schools in the past and I usually end up feeling like the kids spend the whole year planning for a huge, expensive, loooong recital. Here, the year ends with a dance showcase that is warm and friendly and reasonably priced to attend and to participate in (no expensive costumes that your kids will only wear once). Colleen is an amazingly talented, patient, and enthusiastic teacher. Tony, the owner, is just a super great guy. The whole staff is very friendly and they seem to get along like a family. Give Freestyle a try!

Tony, the party coordinator, was amazing and didn't leave any stone unturned! He had great ideas on decorating the room and allowed us to bring in some of our own food and decorations. The kids played in the fantasy fun zone for a while and played games inside the dance studio. Awesome party! Would 100% have it there again!

    We found Miss Jeanne's to be a very disappointing experience. We read many great reviews about the…read moreplace, so we confidently chose it as where to enroll our 3 year old girls for their first year of dance lessons. The school, for us, seems to be largely riding on its legacy. Many of the other parents at the school were dancers there previously, so as "outsiders" we often felt out of the loop and that a lot of the things we needed to know weren't widely broadcast because it was seemingly assumed that we just knew what was going on. Our girls started in September, but in January we discovered we had not been receiving any email communications from the studio. Mistakes happen, but the dates and times of the year end recital had changed, which meant family who wanted to come see the performance didn't have enough notice to change their schedules; had we received those initial emails in the fall they would have had time to adjust their vacation schedules. Once we began receiving emails it still seemed as if we would only get some of what was sent out as more often than not we should show up for class with some kind of special event going on that we had no clue about (and yes, we regularly check our Spam so the communications were not ending up there either). Also, whole emails were used sometimes important announcements were just made to the parents in the waiting room, meaning if you weren't there or stepped out to run an errand during class you missed out and had no way of knowing what, if anything, you might have missed. Overall, the communication from the studio to parents was very poor. While communication was one big issue the larger one was that parents were really just viewed as means to write a check every month. Parents were forbidden to go in to the dance studio (beyond the waiting room) and to talk to the teachers. While we certainly understand the problems of having parents in the studio creates and that you can't have a line of parents harassing the teacher after lessons, causing the next hour of lessons to run late, it's problematic when you are dealing with 3-4 year olds who aren't the best communicators. We never got any kind of feedback or assessment from the teacher or studio as to how our girls were doing in class, if or what they should be practicing at home, if they possessed any natural aptitude for dancing, and if they even seemed to enjoy it. For older students, that's not a problem, but for the parents of toddlers it's a very frustrating place to be. Our girls often seemed reticent to go to class saying they didn't like it, but then would be very excited and happy after class, so who knows. We eventually got frustrated enough with the place that we pulled our girls out in April because we were over not knowing how or what our children were doing for that hour each week they were in class and because we continued to receive very poor instructions from the studio about what was expected of us / what we needed to do. One week they were supposed to show up in full recital attire. We never were told they needed to do so that week and then were given the hasty instructions of "just dress them up next week" without any specifics of what they should wear, how their hair should be, or what make up they needed. Again, it was all assumed that we just knew all these details. As far as I can tell, the teachers do a good job with the students. Our girls, over time, did show us some steps they learned and they even performed their routine for us after we un-enrolled from the school. We felt horrible about doing so since they had worked hard all year, but we had no confidence that we would actually receive the instructions and feedback we needed to put our children in a place to succeed at the recital. The older students who were there seemed to really like it. For us, though, the school seemed very focused on the competition aspect of dance and less on the artistic expression aspects. Our perception on that might be incorrect, but that was just the vibe we got, which was also not what we were really looking for in a dance studio. In any case, if our girls decide they want to continue dancing we will find a different dance school to take them to.

    We love MJ's School of Dance Arts. Having been a mom with no dance experience, I received guidance…read moreevery step of the way On what to expect of them and of my children.

    Visited this place with a friend who had been there last year and enjoyed herself. I was excited…read morebecause it was my daughter's first time at a haunted house. We purchased the VIP which at 45 is about the standard.. Even though the VIP line wasn't long, the wait time was longer than I'd liked with paying the higher price, but after reading the reviews, I guess we did pretty good! It gave a fun, spooky touch to have the characters playing along with us while we waited in line. Once we inside, I was impressed by the detail of the experience.. they definitely put effort into this part which was appreciated. There were a couple of different sections, including a hayride. Overall, it was more of a fun, entertaining experience, not necessarily scary.. that's good when you have a easily spooked 10 year old present.

    This event is special for more than just the Haunted Mill experience itself. It's a tradition for…read moremany locals. I've been to the Haunted Mill many times myself but this is my first time reviewing it. The ambiance is fantastic. The buzz that's going on around town, on Main St. and at the mill itself is such a wonderful sight and experience during the fall season. All the shops are open and they are filled. The actors from the Haunted Mill walk Main St. entertaining everyone along the way. The actual Haunted Mill experience itself is amazing. The fact that the entire production is put on by volunteers (as it is a fundraiser for the Red Mill) is astonishing. The level of detail put into each building is beyond creative. It amazes me how they're able to keep it new and fresh every year. Now, everyone attending knows that these monsters aren't real and so it's up to everyone to come with a good attitude and a willingness to get into the creepy, scary mood. If you're not getting scared or having fun then, I think you need to look seep within yourself and wonder if maybe it wasn't the best day for you to visit. Yes, the lines are long but that's to be expected. Part of the fun is hanging with your group, chatting and getting spooked by the actors that sneak up behind you. Bring a hot beverage, an ice cream, a slice of pizza or whatever you want and chill, wait on line and have fun.
