The guests enjoyed our routines and very much impressed by how well they were performed. Amaury was patience with us and understood our dance skills. We were able to schedule the lessons in between our busy schedules. We came in with the songs and he choreographed the lessons, taught us the basic moves and the next thing we knew we learned the whole routine in 5 lessons. We definitely recommend him for wedding or special occasion dances!

I've been an adult student of Lisa's for over 15 years. My daughter also started dancing at the…read morestudio when she became old enough and stayed until she left for college. Now that she has returned to WNY, she's back in the studio enjoying her lifelong passion for dancing and helping with administrative responsibilities. Lisa's students often return as adults and many send their children to the studio, too. Many of Lisa's students have gone on to dance professionally and she trains dance teachers from many of the local surrounding schools. Lisa has a strong reputation for training students to perform with the most exquisite technique. She teaches students to avoid the bad habits that can form in early years that will prevent them from advancing in later years. Students learn to love ballet as an art form and as an expression of oneself, to appreciate the beautiful lines created by body and movement and to develop strong technique which is critical for a professional career or for long-term recreational dance. The atmosphere within the studio is one of rich values: Respect for yourself, respect for others, teamwork, and leadership. Students are encouraged to help each other, for example, by demonstrating or teaching steps or working offline on pieces of choreography together. Students rise to high expectations and are accountable to be focused, kind, and hard working. Everyone is respected, supported, included as part of the team and have similar opportunities. Diversity and inclusion is encouraged, practiced, and expected of everyone. Contrary to another Yelp recommendation, Lisa does not promote or discuss any particular religion or religious views. There are families and students of all different faiths, beliefs, and backgrounds. This is exactly the environment where you want your children to learn and understand that each individual is unique and appreciate our individual differences. Lisa challenges students to strive for personal excellence who are open to growth. She expects them to be competent, confident, supportive of others, and committed to their study of ballet. She encourages everyone to set high personal standards in order to achieve their full potential. We are reminded to be grateful for our abilities and achievements and yet to strive to do and be more. Through Lisa's Apprentice Program students have the opportunity to develop their own leadership skills and qualities. Students are taught how to formally assist others in learning ballet, gradually given more responsibility as class assistants and eventually invited to step up and lead class. Through the "Lisa Taylor Dancers" performance group, students have an opportunity to showcase their abilities in a community service-oriented program. Performances are offered to (among others) schools, nursing homes, and in conjunction with other community groups. This provides education and exposure to the performing arts in a fun venue to elementary school children, residents of health care facilities and is used as fund raisers for other non-profit organizations. It helps teach students to give back to the community through themselves. Lisa is a leader, a role model, and a mentor. She is always going above and beyond for her students by creating curriculum, programs, opportunities, and performance venues for her students. She creates an expressive, healthful opportunity for all people to explore and enjoy movement through dance.

Had the pleasure of taking my granddaughter to her dance class last night. The building is a semi…read morenice size. This was just a drop off and pick up. There is a small waiting area for the parents to wait on the kids, and I only saw two bigger rooms where the kids practice. There was no organization at all, especially for a first time grandparent doing the drop off. Thank God my 5 year old knew the drill. There is no staff greeting, that I experienced. The biggest issue is the parking situation. It's awful. You have classes getting out within minutes of the new classes starting. It is true chaos. For that reason alone, I personally would have never picked this dance studio. Could be the old lady in me don't know. But on the positive side, my grand daughter loves it here, loves her teachers and truly enjoys it. So in the end guess that's all that matters.

Five years ago, my son enrolled in Neglia's free summer "Boys Dance, Too" 2-week program. He had…read morepreviously taken jazz, tap, and 4 months of ballet. He fell HARD for the discipline and artistry there and was offered a scholarship at the end of the two weeks. Despite living an hour and a half south of the city, we decided to give it a try twice a week. Fast forward to this year: he has completed his fifth summer intensive at Neglia and attends class 6 days a week. Yes, we still live 1.5 hours away. My son has discovered -under his excellent teachers at Neglia- that he wants to dance professionally, and there is no one anywhere near us that matches the quality of instruction he gets there. Besides that, the close knit studio environment has made them feel like family at this point! Each dancer gets excellent personalized instruction and honest appraisals of their abilities and potential. I highly recommend them!

It is for committed individuals who are serious about ballet. The program is rigorous and demanding, but my daughter thrives under these circumstances. Sergio and Heidi are real professionals.

I was skeptical about Neglia being a "family" environment because most dance studios are not, but our experience at Neglia is that it is like family for these girls. They expect a lot , but they give everything thing they have in return. Girls are expected to go above and beyond, but in our family, we live by that rule everyday.
