I love this studio. My daughter has been taking classes here for the past year and they are so nice…read moreand professional but also super caring. The recital at the end was amazing.

This studio is a great place for dancers of all ages. It truly is more of a family than anything…read moreand they go above and beyond to assist anyone and everyone they possibly can. After a 10 year hiatus from dance, this place got me back in the groove and I cannot be thankful enough. Though it is a small space, the professionalism of the instructors cannot be matched by any studio.

If you are passionate about ballet and want to improve your techniques, Ms. Irina is the perfect…read moreteacher to guide you to the next level. She pays attention to details, gives valuable corrections, and helps her students achieve their utmost potential. Her classes are challenging but fun. The barre session starts from warm-up, then progresses through combinations that are so helpful to strengthen the muscles and improve the capabilities. Her solid barre exercises make one well prepared for the center, and importantly avoid injuries. If you take Ms. Irina's classes consistently and follow her guidance, you will find yourselves improve in a short period of time. I go to Irina's classes whenever I can and certainly have grown so much.

Words cannot quantify how valuable Ms. Irina has been to the ballet community through the years…read more Not only is she a gifted artist with gorgeous stage presence, fluidity and musicality- she is also an absolute master of a teacher. She has the ability to break down every technical aspect of the Vaganova method, all while coaching the emotions behind repertoire choreography for performers... I began studying recreationally with Ms. Irina when I was a teenager. At first I was intimidated, but then I realized what a rare gem she was! Even now that I'm in my 30's, I still "Zoom In" to her virtual classes because her lessons are still so vital to my life. I owe her my career! I briefly danced professionally in NYC. I moved to Pennsylvania during Covid, but I now have established teaching position at a pre-professional ballet academy thanks to the education I received under Ms. Irina... I always say "the day Irina retires is that day I have to quit my job. I am useless without her!" Even through Zoom, she keeps my brain sharp, and she keeps my body in shape. She challenges us while always teaching us with something new. She has a profound understanding of the body, and she can give corrections that most other teachers would miss. She is passionate and generous with her knowledge. Ballet lives and breathes through her. Any dancer that is serious about ballet- whether for the love of the art, or the love of knowledge- you'd be remiss to not take advantage of Ms. Irina!

We selected them at the recommendation of our wedding planner who had numerous positive experiences with them in the past, and right from the beginning we were grateful for our pick. Adam worked with us ahead of time to make sure that the they were in lockstep with our vision. The day of, they showed up early, were professional, and truly set the mood with their beautiful performances (lots of Beatles!). We had them for both the ceremony and the cocktail hour and I'm still receiving comments of praise from our guests. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

He was patient and got every detail from me about how we wanted our evening to go and sound. He was flexible and adjusted when the restaurant set some unexpected guidelines. He learned a song we requested last-minute and completely ROCKED it. He set the perfect mood and our guests still rave about him almost one year later. The whole thing was effortless and perfect thanks to him!

I can't say enough about the Killing Kompany…read more We found them through attending the shows at Ruth's Chris. We decided to hire them to do our wedding. We started off the day with the power going out. There was uncertainty about what was going on with our wedding, but of course the show must go on. Luckily they had a battery operated sound system that allowed us to be able to speak on the mics during the ceremony. It saved the ceremony, for sure. The power went on right after we kissed (awww). The show was fantastic after that. They kept everyone upbeat. They were funny, and great, and I loved every minute of it. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat. The way they handled disaster was amazing. Jon kept my husband (!!) on the positive side during panic. Everybody raved about how great they were and how much fun they had. I knew that they would be awesome, but their help with this crazy situation helped to save our wedding. Can't wait to attend more shows! Eventually we'll solve it, I promise!

It's a murder mystery at a restaurant or bar. So, I want to say that cute maybe isn't the best word…read moreto use to explain it. Tonights was out in Patchogue, LI at a bar restaurant called OFF KEY TIKKI. The food though they tried, wasn't good. I believe one of the meat dishes might have been bad and I stuck with the turkey. When you go to these events, the food is usually standardly basic and its the show you are really there for. Bar drinks and desserts were not incorporated in the 60. dollar plus added gratuity to the total, paid before entering. This murder mystery was a bit uhh quirky. One note is to, be there on time. I was under the impression that it was food from 7:30 - 8:00 pm and then the performance murder mystery. Just at 8:00 I walked in and already had missed the gun shooting of the lead victim. The young lady playing the cop, went right along in roll and questioned me as to why I was late and where I was a short time ago. The police officer she was portraying had clothing not up to snuff with black sneakers. The overall acting could have used tweaking. But as it is for entertainment, I went along and got into it asking people around me all kinds of questions. There was a scene of someones head but it was not made clear to the audience quite how that fit in. However Jon Avner artistic director and founder of the company, who writes and customizes the stories to fit the request and need of the people who higher his company, actually was pretty funny and acted well in the part with the interaction of the audience participants. Some of them were pretty funny too. Near the end of the performance the audience and suspects are given a paper form to fill out along with a pencil that reads Murder? 1-888 shoot em and asking to write, basically, Who done it and why. Then the chosen best audience actors get a few gifts and the person who comes closest to the correct-who done it gets a shirt and some other goodies, this time including some handcuffs. Again, all in good fun. Ok, so I was the one who logically wrote that it was the Lieutenant. It wasn't. But I choose not to say more to prevent any spoiler alert. As for the place, while the people there were nice and it is a local bar and not one I would likely frequent, 3 stars is about it for their rating.

I don't usually opt for packages but bought a series of ten ($1,650) before the virus happened. I would not have done this if I had to do it over.

Anyway, I hardly know her and appreciate that she will send me some money.
