That evening was a true celebration of the hard work, dedication, and artistic growth that each dancer has shown throughout the year. The New York theme brought a wonderful energy, and the entire night felt like a journey through a city of dreams and determination. Bella and I came ready for the night, and in support of her stunning outfit, I embraced my own dandyism -- a style and ethos that speaks to self-expression and quiet confidence. It was a nod to the ways we tell our stories and claim our place in the world, just as the dancers did so beautifully throughout their competitions and long hours of rehearsals. One of the most touching moments for me was when Bella's name was called as the recipient of the Kindest Recognition Award. As her father, knowing that she was honored for her kindness to her friends, dance-mates and her fellow dancers filled my heart with immeasurable joy. It is all we could ever ask for in life -- to see our children not only excel in their talents, but also be recognized for the goodness of their hearts. I was deeply moved to know that she was celebrated in such a meaningful way, in front of her friends, big sisters in dance and mentors. Zena, your vision and attention to every detail made this event so special. The venue was stunning and set the perfect stage for a night of joy and pride. Miss Heather, Miss Vero, and Miss Chiara, your awards and kind words meant so much to the dancers and families alike. To all of the teachers -- Heather De Santino, Veronica Alvarez, Chiara Gonzalez, Stavi, Storm, Sabrina Bishamber, Shara DeMaio, Ms. Christie, Eric Ubiera, and the entire DG team -- thank you for nurturing not only the technique and performance of our children, but their character and spirit. #DG Your guidance, patience, and devotion go beyond teaching choreography. You show our daughters how to be confident, compassionate, and resilient -- qualities that will stay with them long after the music fades. For that, we are truly grateful. With sincere thanks and warm regards, Patrick, Philomena and Isabella Doliny

Not only that, but Meg's helped me develop my creativity and I learned so much about self-expression and confidence as I grew older. It's a dance school that encourages everyone to be their very best and provides opportunities for growth in each and every class. All of the teachers are passionate, truly love dance, and care about their students. They create amazing professional performances throughout the year, and offer summer camp and summer intensives for their students too. I made so many wonderful memories and friends there and love coming back to visit!!

Note: I booked a class with Class pass. Check the website to see if the class time has changed!…read moreMine was at 7 but the reservation said 7:30, so I am glad I looked. I had a great class with Alina teaching the Arabic basics to belly dance. I used to belly dance professionally with a troupe 10 years ago and I still learned so much about muscle control and isolations. You can definitely take as a beginner or any level because of the in-depth teaching. It looked like other styles were taught at this studio as well, Latin, Ballroom, and Ballet to make a few. Definitely refer to the website for the most up to date class schedule. A drop in-class is $20, it was 2 class pass credits for my first booking. The studio is at the corner end of a shopping plaza right when you turn into it. The mirror inside is facing the front and the side with the door and check in stand is facing the parking lot. You can see the number on the window to double check. There is plenty of parking.

So let me start by saying that my experience isn't a recent one... I've been meaning to review them…read morefor a long time. I had signed up for classes through an online deal while I wasn't travelling and attended very regularly for about two months. The studio was relatively small in size, conveniently located, clean and comfortable (I heard they were relocating, I have not been to the new location). I'm not new to dance, and chose to attend 3-5 nights a week mainly for Salsa and Bachata (I even paid for 2 private lessons and ended up only using 1, but it was such a good lesson!). I also attended a class or two in Rumba, Latin Hustle and Argentinian Tango. At any rate, as for the studio itself, what I can say is that Elite's true strength is in its teachers... they quickly assess what you can do and guide you from there. They pay attention to detail, even give feedback during the lesson to participants so that bad habits are not practiced or repeated. All of these experiences were what was severely lacking at my previous long-attended dance studio. Most other students/dancers were friendly and supportive. On the negative side, communication from the teachers wasn't always good, and there are "cliques" - unavoidable in many settings - but very noticeable to me as a newcomer, and having been to other studios previously. Another negative was that I arrived ready to dance on 2 separate occasions only to find out that the class that was posted for that time slot was cancelled. It also didn't sit well that in the next class I attended, others (in the clique) spoke about how they had heard about the cancellations through texts from one another. Annoying & disappointing as a new student to say the least (note: neither of these negatives caused me to discontinue going there... I just resumed travelling). Pros: - conveniently located - clean, well maintained - fair selection of dance classes and class times - pricing is reasonable - knowledgeable, experienced teachers CONS: - communication with ALL students regarding cancellations - could use more "group blending"... staff needs to avoid feeding into clique culture

I called around several place (not knowing exactly what to look for) and most places I called had large classes and I knew I wanted a place that would allow self expression and fun while having the opportunity to not only perform but grow. I also wanted a place that would give the opportunity for all the students to perform no matter their ability, Rising Starz was it! Once I took her for her initial class I knew this was the place for her, she loved it! What we love is that everyone you deal with from the admin assistants to the teachers listen to what your needs and questions are and take the time to help in any way they can. She is now 12 and still with Rising Starz and has learned a vast variety of skills and a love for music I am sure will stay with her forever. We are so lucky to have found Vanessa/Rising Starz we sincerely love it! Beth and Lexi D'Aleo

I would never recommend this place. My daughter was…read moreattending class for young 4 years old kids. The class supposed to start every Monday from 4:15 till 5. I have to say that the teacher was never on time. Never!!! Always late and she never extended the class, not even a minute! I didn't say a word about that until one day. We are always rushing to be on time and again the teacher was late. We were the only ones waiting for the class to start. The teacher came late and additionally she said that we are going to wait for other kids. Still wait and waste time!! we didn't even know if anyone is coming for sure. I asked why? This doesn't make sense. My daughter is here on time. We can start. We don't want to waste more time waiting for someone who maybe is not coming at all. She wasn't happy with what I said but she took my daughter inside the class and still didn't start the class. The woman at the front desk went inside to talk to the teacher so she finally started the class. Only one more child attended the class later that day. I was afraid that after I said something the teacher is going to be not nice to my daughter, picking on her and that's what happened... my daughter was crying most of the time. Is it a coincidence?? I took her out and said that this was probably our last time here and asked for refund. Couple days later I received an email saying about no refund policy and also saying that my child cut her finger and that's why she cried. Seriously?? First of all I didn't see any cut on a finger and secondly how she would do it. There was only two kids and a teacher. What was the teacher doing??? Also I want to mention that they cannot accommodate makeup classes!!! Their policy includes makeup classes and I called once to schedule a makeup class. They were not able to do it. They suggested to bring my daughter for the older class kids to watch. Nonsense!! I paid for the class, they couldn't schedule a makeup class and they don't refund for the class!!! I was very excited for this place and now I'm just really disappointed and I regret bringing my daughter there. Please be aware.
