This review is for private dance lessons with Kurt and his co-teacher, Ellie. With only four…read morelessons, Kurt and Ellie transformed me and my now-spouse from klutzes into respectable dancers. We contacted them about two weeks before our wedding--the panicked point at which we realized we wanted to look good dancing our first dance as a married couple. (Note: I advise contacting them much, much sooner.) Thanks to their patience, good humor, and most of all, their SKILL in teaching the non-gifted the basics; we made it through our first dance very well. In fact, we actually got compliments from many of our guests on how well we danced. What I like most is that the spouse and I now have a new, social, active hobby the two of us can pursue together. We look forward to taking Kurt's group dance classes in the future. So, if you want to learn to dance, call Kurt!

First, Gillian is an excellent teacher, great with young children, professional and personable…read more She deserves 5 stars on her own merit. The school administration and handling of families, schedules and financial accounts warrant 0 stars. Be very wary of what classes you sign up for, as they may arbitrarily change the class timing, and keep your entire payment, regardless of whether you attend a class. We had signed up for the Summer Creative Movement class which was scheduled for Wednesday 5:45 - 6:30pm. After the sign up process was done, the timing for the Summer class was arbitrarily changed to a later evening time which we could not attend. Given that the new timing for the class was not one that we could attend, we had to withdraw from the class. We were provided an email note stating that our account would carry a credit of $70 at the time. After about 3 months of following up by email and phone, they have refused to return our monies for the class that we physically could not attend. There should have been an exception made in this scenario as the change in class time was completely beyond our control. However, they've refused to provide a fair resolution to the matter. My recommendation, stay away. There are plenty of dance studios to choose from and this in one that I will not be recommending to friends or family.

This studio has helped me along with many other students to grow mentally, physically, and…read moreemotionally. The nurturing environment teaches the students not only how to dance, but to become an artist. I personally cannot express how much I have learned from the staff at this studio. I have gotten into NYSSSA (New York State Summer School of the Arts) and without the guidance of the amazing teachers, I would never be where I am today. This school teaches many lessons to benefit the dancer inside and outside of the studio. If you are looking for a nurturing learning environment to bring out the inner dancer and artist, this is the best place!

He was very,Very friendly and got to know us on a more personal yet extremely professional level. He was patient and always willing to answer our concerns or share tips and advice. Where most studios only offer 30-45 minutes per lessons,we got to enjoy an hour and a half of personalized instruction at a very great price. I won't lie I was feeling kinda sad leaving his studio after our last lesson, but we are extremely satisfied customers and guests enjoyed our first dance! I hope to take more lessons with Geno in the future! I highly recommend Geno and his dance studio ( All For The Love Of Dancing)...5 stars..no wait make it 10 Stars!!

My girls have developed a love for dance because of this studio and all the instructors. The owner is very knowledgeable as well as very personable.

I highly recommend the studio whether your child wants to do dance for fun or take it more seriously, this is a great school to attend.

The school bus drops them off right there. That was a big selling point. I was told my daughter…read morecould get off the bus there and they would look after her until class and until pick up time. The first day when I pulled up 15 minutes early my 6 year old was already waiting in the parking lot for me. She had taken the wrong class and gotten out early. No one noticed she was in the wrong class and no one noticed her walk out the building or her waiting in the parking lot area alone. Then on another occasion she was dared by an older kid to go outside naked she did and again no one noticed a her go outside even naked. I should have known better than to let her be there on her own shame on me I won't do that anymore. The parking lot is muddy a large part of the year that's hard on shoes and vehicle interior. There's no large viewing window. There's a window in the door you can look through but you risk getting hit by the door, being in the way and other parents are also trying to look through the window. The cost is about 85$ a quarter and the class is about 40 minutes long once a week we did a recital of the Nutcracker last winter it was performed at Cayuga College. The Spring performance is going to be Wizard of Oz. This is a revision review as the owner did call me today to introduce herself to me and also to address these issues. She also let me know I had the cost wrong on my old review I fixed it now to reflect the correct price.
