My daughter attended this dance academy about a year or two ago. It was right after things…read morereopened. The staff, the facility is great. But much of our experience felt like pocket pulling. We had to pay for everythingggggg. And when I say that I mean , we paid $70 a ticket to watch a pre recorded show that took place during class time. I took her out of the academy right before they could pull that "scam" ( and I use that word lightly) again for the spring season. I don't feel like any of these actions were done out of malice probably just to get their money back after the pandemic but weren't we all? Just seemed pretty unfair and for that I wouldn't recommend. It's very difficult to find a dance studio that's not constantly trying to take money from you for everything little thing, so if anyone has any suggestions - please share. This review is being posted to share my experience with other family's looking for a dance studio not to pour hate on the business.

Our instructor, Gian, truly brought our dance to life.

They made us feel really confident and ready for our big day, which says a lot because we are definitely not natural dancers lol. We love this place and are definitely coming back for regular classes :)

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!
