GOD came highly recommended by many of the friends we made locally, and I am so grateful to all of them. My child has flourished in this studio; Miss Beth, Miss Alyssa, and the other teachers love the students like their own children, and I have always felt welcomed as part of their dance family. Miss Patti in the office is fantastic, as well, and we love seeing Mimi! My child has learned so much about teamwork from Miss Beth, and the support and mentoring provided by the older dancers has been an inspiration to us. I can't imagine us at any other studio, and I'm beyond honored to be part of the GOD family. Thank you Miss Beth for the wonderful studio (and second home) you provide our dancers. We love you!

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!

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!

This is a very good dance school if you want your child to be part of a competition dance troupe…read more My daughter has taken dance classes at other dance schools and we always expected the recital to be around 2-2.5 hours long. This dance school was the exception as their recital lasted over 3.5 hours and was followed by 20 minute speeches from various adults thanking everybody, then followed up by handing out individual awards to students on stage. We arrived at the recital at 3:30pm (show started at 4pm) and finally got in our car at 8pm. There was a 15 min intermission in order to stretch our legs and get the circulation moving again. The recital consisted of 52 dance performances. Out of the 52 performances about 30 if not more of them were performed by their competition dance troupe. The dance troupe did a beautiful job, and they all are very talented dancers. It was a joy to watch them dance from large groups, small groups and individual dances. Not sure why they needed to perform over 30 different dances as they should have performed a lot less in order to give us a preview of what they are all about. I also found out during the show, my daughter did not get to see any of the performances as she was sitting in a room and watching a movie with her group.

Being that it is always desolate down there we would never feel safe enough to leave our daughter alone to go to the bathroom by herself. Additionally, once Covid-19 struck and our state shut down, we politely asked the owner, Kathleen, to put a hold on our tuition as we allowed our daughter to participate in one Zoom class which was a total disaster. We were charged for an hour's class (no Discounted rate either as this was an online class versus in person) which turned out to be 40 minutes total, most of which time the owner had to shoo her dog out of the room or her husband kept interrupting her. The other part of the time she just had everybody show their houses and where they were and talked nonsense basically. The actual instruction time was about 15 minutes only, if that, of which the owner couldn't even see my daughter in the camera. I personally witnessed the entire class. Our daughter was so upset she didn't want to participate any longer. When we asked Kathleen, the owner, to put our tuition on hold, she replied by saying that if she put everyone's tuition on hold she wouldn't make any money. We asked her several times and every time she refused. We even explained how the Zoom session was a total disaster to which she denied. Kathleen is the worst business owner in our opinion that we have ever encountered and we will never recommend her to anyone.
