Known specifically for its high level of Modern dance training, Steffi Nossen attracts some of the best teachers and choreographers in the industry. The difference? The Steffi community is truly a family. My sisters and I all danced here and have made friendships that have lasted far beyond our high school years. While some who train here go on to a professional dance career, others have continued to find the joy of dance in all aspects of their life. We were able to work with choreographers like Patrick Corbin, Sidra Bell, Peter Pucci, Nancy Lushington, Michael Foley, Annmaria Mazzini, Sabatino Verlezza and Pam Tanowitz. We were able to perform as young girls in the outstanding SUNY Purchase Performing Arts Center, and other prominent venues in NYC. Steffi Nossen's studios are beautiful and centrally located in White Plains. In addition to Modern training, Steffi Nossen has incredible ballet, jazz, hip hop, and tap classes as well. I began at SNS at age 3, and I know many others who spent their childhood years here too. Without a doubt this school is unique and special. It's not just the best school in Westchester, Steffi Nossen also boasts a thriving foundation that seeks to bring dance to all people - regardless of personal circumstance. Their Moving Wheels and Heels program features adaptive dance for both stand up and wheelchair dancers. As a student at the school, I was able to work with this program. As a young woman, being able to not just hone my own technique, but also give back in such a fundamental way, was truly remarkable. I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for high caliber dance training in a supportive environment. Steffi dancers stay connected long after high school. I am honored to be part of this community.

The quality of training is recognized and appreciated in the professional dance world. The love, the care and personal attention that all the students receive is commendable. If you are looking for a non competitive environment and friends for life for your child, note that the school has a zero tolerance on negative competition and gossips (parents and or students). The Director and faculty members are dedicated and extremely generous with their time and knowledge. The performances are a delight ! A class ACT!

AVOID THE ADULT BALLET CLASS !!!…read more I was excited to find a ballet studio that offers adult classes in my area. The teacher Dieter Riesle told me that I could come for a trial class free of charge and added that "if you have had gymnastics, other dance forms, yoga or acrobatics prior, you may be able to work yourself into this level". As a 27-year-old former professional athlete who now does yoga and barre on the regular basis, it sounded as I would be able to do it. I came at 10am as the manager Hans-Jakob told me to, but it turned out the classes started at 10:30am. No problem! I waited. At 10:30am Dieter asked me how I was going to pay: cash or check. I said that he mentioned this first class being free so I didn't bring any cash/checks. He told me: oh, then you should SIT AND WATCH TODAY because "I don't want you to hurt yourself"!!! WHAT?!! So 5 seconds ago when you thought I was paying, you were not afraid that I would hurt myself?? The class consisted of older ladies, with one of them not even being able to walk straight anymore due to her old age! I told him that I took some ballet classes in Russia and I am an athlete in general. He did not care! He kept saying I would not be able to keep up with those older women. Wow, they must be retired from Bolshoi Ballet! I left the studio shocked and disgusted.

'Rianna what position is your feet supposed to be in?, or Where are you supposed to be? " I do not listen to explicit music and should I have heard any explicit music, I would have grabbed my daughters hand and ran. Even the Hip Hop portion of Ballet/Hip Hop class they used the clean version. My daughter is very shy and the instructors were extrememly patient with her. As a matter of fact I am thinking of re-enrolling. Keep it up Magical Movements.

I enrolled him in their website that only asks for registration. It doesn't ask for payment, you don't get an email requesting payment or nothing, just a confirmation that says your child has been enrolled. I show up to the place 30min early to pay and set up my child for class and the person who opens the door #1 doesn't let me walk in even though it was pouring raining and I'm with my 3yr old and #2 informs me that my child doesn't show up in their system and that they are overbooked that they called a prior day (even though they didn't call me) to confirm and they couldn't take him. This is the second time they do this, cancelled my reservation out of nowhere and don't even tell you how to pay. They have no sense of customer service!

The owner contacted me and apologized for the class not working out then reimbursed me for the remainder of the year.

I am now a satisfied customer and very appreciative. This turn of events says a lot about the owner and the dance school.

They have dedicated huge parking lot, lots of studios rooms inside for different classes. Multiple rooms to store bags and shoes. There's waiting area and waiting room. Couple of restrooms, very clean and well maintained. My daughter started with toddler class and continued to her second year of intro to Ballet. Ms. Kerri is an amazing instructor, very friendly, patient and playful with the kids. Classes are for 45 minutes. Same classes are offered during week and on the weekend, so easy to do makeup classes by attending the alternative class. Tuition fees are very decent, way cheaper than some of the places we tried before. Registration and monthly tuition, all of it can be managed through website. They are also very helpful in person with any question or concern. I have been very pleased taking my daughter here for her classes over a year now. It's a wonderful facility that has a history of developing incredible Ballet performers through its classes.
