A wonderful little theater group in the heart of Nyack. The…read moreshows are carefully picked and it's stressed to the kids that each role is equally important. There's no "star" of any show. The staff teach the kids about teamwork and camaraderie as well as community. Great place for kids from 4-18 They have performances/programs year round as well as summer camp offerings. Highly recommend

Gym is clean and the staff is friendly The saunas and steam room is a nice touch to this gym…read more Plenty of cardio machines

THE GOOD: I was a member here for 18 months. It cost me $70/month. It is a respectable gym with…read morepretty terrible parking. You must cross the road to get to the entrance, which is ok. I think commuters and other businesses share the parking lot with gym patrons, making it a long walk to the front. Inside, Vision Sports Club is a pleasant place. It's large; it's always chilly inside - but overall, this gym has decent workout space (even for serious lifting). The showers are clean, and the locker room is impeccable. There are classes, but most of them are located in the far corner of the building in a warehouse-like setting. The only instructor worth mentioning is Janice, who is quite good. The gym overall has no character - I think it's a cross between a Gold's gym and a Planet Fitness. THE BAD: When quitting the gym - I moved away from the area - the manager gave me a VERY hard time. They charged me for nearly 2 extra months, and when I complained, she went off on a personal attack asking me my age, questioning my maturity level, yelling, etc. No explanation was given, other than "that's the way we do it." From what I did understand, I was 3 days into the month, so I had to pay for that month AND the next (I was on month-to-month basis at the time). So I paid, and politely left. I'm not coming back.

The culture here is extremely toxic, there is sadly mean girl behavior from the students and staff…read more We unfortunately found Coupe to be very far from inclusive and encouraging, specifically issues with an advanced teacher and what we feel is her inappropriate management style of interactions with students. My daughter was targeted for ridicule, getting yelled at constantly to the point of tears before and after class. I sat outside the class one day and I heard for myself how disrespectfully this teacher spoke towards my daughter and I pulled her from the class that day. The director dodged my calls and chose not to respond to any emails which is a cowardly and careless way to direct a dance studio. There is also the nepotism that the director feeds into and the dance moms and kids are well aware of. Coupe only cares how much money you will throw at them with no regard for dancers self esteem or creative development. I would urge you to not send your child here, especially if they are neurodivergent, there are many great studios in this county and this is an area kind environment for young dancers.

All 3 of my daughters took dance lessons here from the time they were about 3 until they were 18…read more These were the most fun years of our lives. The teaching of ballet, pointe, jazz, tap, hip hop, musical theatre, theatre dance, etc. is most professional and tailored to meet the needs of all ages and stages. Every teacher is well qualified to instruct children. There is a nutcracker performance yearly that in my opinion is as good as a NYC show. Two of my daughters participated in the performance for years. Nutcracker has left us with some of the best memories. Even though my daughters are all graduated, I still make a point to see the Nutcracker in December. The studio is large, but no child gets lost in the "shuffle." Everybody's important. We visited the new location last year - what a gorgeous facility!! The end-of-year performances are always stellar - so much planning and excellence are poured into the weekend-long event. There's a theme to the end-of-year performance, so it makes it all the more fun. There are always well-crafted props, and the best thing is you only rent the costumes for an extremely reasonable fee.
