This is a little dance studio with a big heart. All Stars make learning fun for children. My…read moredaughter is finishing up on her second session, and just performed in her first dance recital. You can see the transformation take place. My daughter went from being a shy 4 year-old in pre-ballet, to a confident 5 year-old on stage in front of a packed audience performing ballet/jazz. Sure, the elevator is maddeningly slow, (take the stairs), and the website is a bit of a spazz. And though new parents are hit with an almost overwhelming amount of information leading up to the photo days, mandatory dress rehearsals, and dance recitals, there's a reason this studio has lasted a decade in the community. At the center is a group of dance instructors, and an owner that cares deeply for the success of the children that enter this studio. You can see the evidence of this in the friendships that flourish, and the bonding that takes place in the rehearsal space, in between classes, at community outings, and on stage. Queens parents, if you're looking enrich your child's learning, and get them in dance, All Stars Studios is a solid investment. You can also take a free trial class to see if it's a good fit.

My daughter, Kayla has been attending JRDS for 4 years now, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it has been one of the absolute best decisions we have ever made for her. From her very first class, the incredible instructors created a warm, high-energy, and encouraging environment where she immediately felt like she belonged. Over the last four years, we have watched her transform not just as a dancer, but as a confident young girl. The growth in her rhythm, technique, and stage presence is a direct reflection of the dedication, expertise, and heart that Jorday and her amazing staff pour into every single student. They hold their dancers to high standards while ensuring every step of the journey is filled with fun, passion, and genuine encouragement. Most importantly - "She absolutely loves it". As a parent, seeing your child's eyes light up after every single lesson is priceless. JRDS isn't just a top-tier dance studio--it is a community, a home, and a wonderful family. We couldn't be prouder to be a part of the JRDS family, and I recommend them with all my heart to any parent looking for an exceptional dance experience!

My daughters take Jazz and tap with Ms. Amanda. I have nothing but great things to say about her teaching style. She is strict enough to keep the kids on task but still makes it fun for them. Thur also have an amazing Hip-Hop teacher in John. I am very tempted to sign up for this as it looks like great exercise and release of energy. As for other reviewers saying they would like a live stream, I disagree. The last thing the teachers need is parents watching their every move. It's family run so you're never talking to someone who isn't directly involved in the day to day operations. As popular as dance is for kids I expected this to be a big hit on the wallet but it is very affordable. I highly recommend this school for all ages and levels.

Not only does she have every move down perfectly but also is very patient; when something isn't coming across, she teaches alternatives, or postpones it into the future and goes on to another topic. She also constantly refines my moves to make them more professional. I first came to Destination, after having taken lessons very long ago, for a crash course for a date coming up in 2 weeks. She got me up to performing very adequately then , and now, against all my expectations, I'm still her student a year and a half later!

What I like about this place is the small groups and that the teacher takes time with each of the students. My daughter likes her teacher Angelica and is looking forward to those Sunday classes.

This helps to get some benefit from the 2 hour wait . Good place all in all.

Some people even wore homemade costumes. There were several pieces of really cool art displayed in the center's small exhibition spaces. JCAL puts on many events throughout the year, from jazz concerts to children's festivals, as well as other music events, arts/crafts/jewelry making workshops. They have rotating art exhibits.
