    Our wedding's first dance was an absolute hit, all thanks to our Andrey! Andrey is fun, knowledgeable, and an experienced dance teacher. Using his tools and teachings he helped us to be in the moment and have fun during our 1st dance. At first, I was a little intimidated but his process is bulletproof. Beyond teaching the steps, he helps bring the chemistry of dancing - that intangible connection that makes dance truly special and under his guidance, we learned to convey our style through movement. As we talked about our wedding with our family and friends they all mentioned how awesome was our dance. Thanks again Andrey and highly recommend him for a 1st dance or just for fun!

    Our first dance was a hit, thanks to Andrey! We had several sessions with him and learned a lot! Andrey listened to our music options and suggested the song that would be easiest for beginners - and he was absolutely right! In addition, we loved that he suggested a non-traditional dance style for us (swing) based on the song we chose! His instructions are clear and he was patient when we struggled on certain moves, including suggesting to keep trying or pivoting to something else that may work better. Andrey helped us create and clean up our dance choreography, and our guests were thrilled that we ended with a lift and a dip.

    Such a fantastic experience, Andrey is truly the best, he prepared and taught us a great dance for our first wedding dance. Highly recommend!

    We had such a wonderful experience with Andrey preparing for the first dance at our wedding. He is a very talented dancer and choreographer, but also an amazing teacher. We were complete newbies and he guided us all the way up to having an amazing performance that we received many genuine compliments on. Our lessons actually turned into very fun date nights where we would go out after and discuss what we learned and what to practice! Overall, I would recommend Andrey for any dance needs - NYC Is lucky to have him!

    This is an amazing place. I started from intro classes when I was 40 and two years later I can…read moresometimes take intermediate classes. Every teacher I had was wonderful. I saw Shirley Bassat name mentioned in some negative reviews - I love her! It took a while to get used to her style, but she actually corrects your position, and is warm and caring behind a strict surface. If you have some tolerance of being called out in front of a class, you can make so much progress with her. I also want to mention Vanessa's Pilates classes during the weekend. I've been to many Pilates before, but her class is ADDICTIVE. She tailors the class to everyone there, and remembers everyone's strength, weakness, and goals. She uses different props for each student to make sure even the same move will be most effective for each person on their fitness/ dance journey. She also has a great sense of humor to make challenging classes pass by quickly. The classes are packed and somehow everyone gets individual attention and enough space/ room to practice comfortably.

    This was a spur-of-the-moment activity, but a friend of mine wanted to try a ballet class to see if…read moreshe might get back into dance as a hobby. Another friend had taken classes at this academy before and highly recommended it, so the three of us booked an Introduction to Ballet class on Sunday at 12:00. Check-in was quick and easy. The class was $25 for an hour and a half, which I think is very reasonable considering it's from an actual ballet school. There's no strict dress code, which worked out well since none of us owned ballet attire -- we just wore regular workout clothes and socks, and it was perfectly fine. The instructor was wonderful. She started by asking who had never taken ballet before, then positioned the newer students between people with experience so it would be easier to follow along. I really appreciated that, as I have no dance background and definitely found myself lost more than once. Having people around me to follow made it much less intimidating. The class itself was energetic and fun. The instructor was patient, encouraging, and made sure to keep things approachable for beginners. I'm sure my form was atrocious and I messed up plenty of times, but nobody cared -- the atmosphere was supportive and welcoming, and everyone was just there to enjoy themselves and keep trying. The class had people of all different skill levels and abilities, and it felt very inclusive. Overall, this was a great introduction class, especially for someone nervous about trying something new. I never once felt self-conscious, and I genuinely had fun. I'd highly recommend this academy to anyone looking to take dance classes, whether you have experience or not. If I were interested in pursuing ballet, I would definitely come back.

    The Park Avenue Armory is a historic 19th century, Gothic Revival, military building that was…read morerestored to become an incredible NYC cultural institution. It was build in the late 1800s for a prestigious Civil War regiment... it was preserved and then became a cultural center in 2007. Make sure to enjoy the architecture, decor, art in the smaller rooms open to the public (Tiffany glass windows, turquoise tiled fireplace). The only play I've seen in this space was The Doctor. I also saw their productions of The Lehman Trilogy and Illinoise once they transferred to Broadway. Most recently i visited the Armory for the CLINEMAN installation. I spent a couple of hours watching the porcelain bowls glide across the pools of water... listening to the different pitches of their chimes.

    The Park Avenue Armory is one of my favorite places in New York City. It just feels so different…read morefrom anywhere else. The architecture is incredible, and the second you walk in you can feel the history. In a weird way, it kind of makes you think, "Wait... is this place haunted?" or "What stories could these walls tell?" I've been lucky enough to see a bunch of really cool art installations here over the years, plus a few fashion shows. If you've never been, definitely check out their website to see what's going on because there's always something interesting happening. The latest installation I saw had three huge pools inside this giant wooden deck with blown glass bowls floating around on the water. The whole thing was super relaxing. Some people were taking naps, some were quietly talking with friends, and others were just sitting there watching the glass drift around and soaking in the ASMR vibes. It's such a cool example of how creative they get with the space. In my dream world, I'd get married here lol.
