My daughter has attended classes at Showbiz Dance Academy for 5 years now and the impact it has had…read moreon her life is nothing short of astounding. A naturally shy girl, her experience at Showbiz has helped her find her inner confidence and provides her with an artistic outlet that I know will serve her well in life regardless of what path she chooses. Kristie Eckman's artistic talent, teaching acumen, infectious good humor, and amazing patience have helped mold her students into confident, award winning dancers. The studio itself is easy to find in t he Landen shopping center. The classroom is a large setup with plenty of room for students to work on routines as a group or spread out and express themselves during solos. A comfortable lounge area up front for the parents to relax while the little ones learn. The cost per class is very affordable and the diversity of available styles such as tap, ballet, jazz, hip hop let you or your child experiment from year to year to find what speaks to you. Showbiz also boasts one of the most award winning competitive dance teams in the area. In 2010, our teams traveled the region scoring amongst the top in virtually every category entered, including one remarkable performance by a dancer who managed to take 1st, 2nd, AND 3rd in the same category (yes, three different solos). The team's performance at Nationals in New Jersey this past summer was equally fulfilling, further cementing in my mind that there is no other studio in the Tri-State I would take my daughter.

Overall a great experience and I'll be going back for Zumba and Hip Hop. I know they also have a lot of dance classes for youth as well.

I do think that they train champion-level dancers. But it seems like these dancers are handpicked to be focused on. The teachers and parents are very cliquey and if you're not a 'dance mom' you (and your child) will be left out entirely. Communication is seriously lacking. Most of the teachers are absolutely fantastic. Some are very negative/critical, as opposed to supportive and encouraging. We chose Irish dance for the cultural aspect but quickly realized that this studio can be just the standard stereotype of dancers.
