My fiancee (now wife) recommended dance lessons for our wedding, which I was hesitant about, but…read moreshe insisted I didn't look like a "schlub" during our first dance. While waiting outside the studio for our first lesson, we noticed a more experienced couple dancing extremely well, doing dips, lifts and the whole 9 yards. I looked at my fiancee and said "no way in hell will I be able to do that". Cut to a few months later, and I am the guy in the pictures below. Not exactly sure how that happened, but I do know that none of it would be possible without Kyle and Dance Reverie. Kyle is extremely patient and not only helps you physically for the dance, but prepares you mentally as well. For someone with two left feet like myself, Kyle not only made me look competent on the dance floor, but good enough for one engaged couple at our wedding to ask ME for lessons!? Could not recommend Kyle and Dance Reverie enough!!

My 8 year old daughter attends ATDW and I cannot say enough good things about the studio, the…read moreteachers or the owners. ATDW and the owners Michelle and Jerome could not be more different from the typical LI dance school. If you're looking for a studio where your child can learn from real experts (not just graduated former students), be groomed like professionals, be surrounded with positive & supportive influence and make great friends (both kids and fellow parents) - this is the place. For a brief background, my daughter started ballet classes at 3 years old at another school. We liked the school but the variation of classes beyond ballet was limited and most attention was given to competition dancers. If you weren't on the competition team or being groomed for it, you were not a priority. I've since heard from many friends that this is the case across many Long Island dance schools where the focus is on competition or the end of year recital performances. This is NOT the case at ATDW. This past fall my daughter attended an open house where she quickly fell in love with the studio, enrolled in 4 classes and has never looked back! To say my daughter's experience moving to ATDW has been transformational would be an understatement. Before moving to ATDW, she liked to dance but felt very insecure about her body, being very tall for her age and a bigger build. She was also struggling with some bullies in school and we were dealing with the typical elementary-school afternoon battles over homework, snacks, screens, etc. The changes we've seen in my daughter since moving to ATDW go well beyond her dance capabilities. The kindness and encouragement she has experienced from Michelle, Jerome, Miss Wendy, Miss Olivia and Miss Allie have given her a true passion for all things dance and performance. Her passion and love for attending ATDW have given her a shocking level of motivation for an 8 year old. Knowing she needs to leave for ATDW, she is motivated to do her homework right after school and she has a positive, active understanding of how to be healthy and take care of her body so she can feel better dancing. Her sense of self confidence has exploded in ways that have extended well beyond after-school dance - in her reading, her grades, her friendships and in-school activities. Perhaps most importantly, my daughter has met and made friends with kind and wonderful children whose parents clearly share the same values we do: kindness over competition, the value and joy of performance, respect, responsibility and confidence. The dancers and families that are part of ATDW feel like a community, particularly for students who take more than one class. Passing each other in the hallways before/after, they make friends with older/younger kids they aren't even in class with. The older dancers are positive and supportive role models for the younger dancers. The amount of joy they all have seeing each other is so sweet and at points comical... they hug each other like they haven't seen each other in weeks. ATDW is truly my daughter's favorite place now. She ended the 22-23 season enrolled in 5 classes and participating in the production of Alice in Wonderland. Looking forward to next season, she's now asking to add more. She can't get enough. We are so thankful for this studio and for the community of dancers and parents that Michelle and Jerome have created. Thank you, ATDW!

I came here with my boyfriend for an introductory dance class for country dancing. The venue was…read moreclean, warm, and welcoming on that rainy day. I am debating between two and three stars. Here's why: When they called me back to confirm the booking & coordinate a time (which I emailed them to see if they teach country dancing), they said yes, we can do that. When we went there - I brought my cowboy dancing boots and was stoked to learn something new with my boo. They had us wait a little bit (we were a few minutes early). They brought us into a private dancing room and showed us the ropes for some basic dance movements and styles. We did some salsa and merengue and fox trot, etc... but no country. We had a blast and a lot of fun. We were sweating too! But they withheld the country from us. Then after the session, instead of a bye! hope to see you next time, they brought us into the manager's suite to get bamboozled with humungous numbers (price tags) for dance lessons with group sessions. Try 10 classes at over $1,500.00..(and not all of them were for one on one sessions).. Meanwhile, we were seeking something simpler - like closer to the cost of what we paid for the trial ($49.00). When they showed me the form with the classes that they offer - country wasn't listed and when I brought it up, they wrote it in. I/we felt scammed... because when we were waiting to start the first session - they also had me fill out a similar form and there was a box for country dancing on that one. It's really unfortunate, because maybe we'd go back if they had an à la carte option for classes at a more affordable rate. A lot of places do something like $55.00 per class with the tenth one free! We told them we'd think about it so they would let us leave. The manager and our instructor were really pushy. Not to mention, that the instructor "gets to know you" and then uses that against you to get the manager to get you hyped up for a sale. They booked us for the following week at the same time. They were kind enough to call me back to confirm the night before. I advised them that we would not be returning, as per the hefty pricing, and they didn't charge me anything extra. (24 hour cancellation policy) Now don't get me wrong - I'm sure you get what you pay for to some extent, and I'm sure the classes and group dancing are fun (we saw others there enjoying themselves), but the way they went about it was off-putting and I really feel like they should have been more forthright and upfront with us prior to. We don't regret the dance session. Happy feet!
