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!

The party package we chose was the Grand package. This covers up to 12 kids. Upon arriving on the party day, they had fun activities all set up for my 5 year olds party. All we had to do was bring in the cake, and any other supplies we brought for food and drinks. Phoebe and Sarah did everything! Throughout the party, they introduced new activities such as a bubble machine, obstacle courses, a giant bean bag swing, and kept the attention on the Birthday boy. My son was smiling the entire time! This was by far the best venue we have celebrated any of my kid's birthdays in. All the parents of the little party guests loved how fun it was for the kids. Best parts: Cost effective. Continuous entertainment. Little to no work for the parents. Phoebe and Sarah made everything run so smoothly without any hiccups! Worst part: I should have opted for the 2 hour upgrade.

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.

I recently attended a yoga event run by the owner of Syracuse Yoga and had a great time!…read more The vibe is super welcoming, comforting, and friendly. As an instructor, she cracked jokes throughout the class, which I thought was a really great way to make less experienced participants feel less self conscious. That might not be everyone's style, but I thought it was a nice change up from more straightforward, serious tone you might find in other studios. Also, she did a great job of breaking down more complex moves into easy steps to help students nail the form. The flow itself was a great balance of restful & simple moves, and more challenging moves -- but always perfectly paced, and never too much at one time. Great for beginners, and a good mix between strenuous and restorative. Also, it was just plain fun. Overall, this was a great time and quality guidance, and I would definitely be open to taking more classes with Syracuse Yoga. Would recommend anyone who is considering them to take the chance and try them out!
