One of the best things I like about the school is the fact that there are no recitals. They learn technique, how to dance, not just enough steps to get through a few minutes on stage. The other parents are GREAT we all work together to do fund raisers for this not for profit organization. This school does a lot of charity work. The children in the theatre dance class put on a performance once a month for the seniors and children who cannot afford tution are never turned away. There are many scholorships availible. The director is attentive to the children and truley cares for them. If you get out of your car and socialize with everyone you would know that it isnt clickish. The reason that she doesnt want people parking in front is because security gives tickets to those cars. If she catches you out there she usually says something.

Some Like It Hot Yoga and Wellness

What an AWFUL experience…read more... Was excited to get back into yoga and was looking forward to sharing this experience with a friend. The good- people taking the class all seem very nice. The instructor knowledgeable in palates. The bad - studio smell like sweat that has not been cleaned up in ... ever. - the studio owner is unprofessional and rude and there is nothing "namaste" about her demeanor. - the instructor seems threatened and terrified of her boss (the owner) to the point of creating a false narrative Will not be returning. If you are okay with disrespectful behavior and just taking class by disconnecting with the rest of the world- this is a place for you. Disclaimer - I am a health professional with 30+ years of dance teaching experience. When your hot yoga studio forbids you from leaving the room during class, even if you felt unwell, it raises concerns about safety. To add insult to injury when the studio owner proceeds to yell at you, questions you says that by leaving the class was disrupted, and insults - that's speaks volumes about the culture of the practice. If I didn't leave, the class would have been even more disrupted with the instructor unable to teach at all because they would need to take care of the student instead of teaching, Furthermore, when the owner accuses the client that because of the client the owner could not complete their scheduled personal important appointment- that demonstrates concern for the owner's mental state. There are safety risks involved with hot yoga and it is the responsibility of the instructor and the student to ensure safety. Listening to your body is paramount: Regardless of studio policy, your well-being should be the priority. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, nauseous, or experience any other signs of heat intolerance or illness during a hot yoga class, it's essential to take a break or leave the room. Same with dance -pushing through injury is highly discouraged as it may cause further injury. People are paying for the class, this is not a prison. No one comes to class looking to disobey.

Its truly a hot room, a great selection of classes ,flexable times and unbelievable instructors!.read more

I started training with Coach Phil in February and almost immediately felt stronger, more…read moreconfident, and energized. Phil is extremely passionate about what he does, and it shows in everything he does at the gym. He works with people of all skill levels to help them achieve their fitness goals! He clearly takes a lot of pride in his business, and it shows in the way he keeps the gym in impeccable condition. Everyone who trains there is expected to put things back where they belong, and as a result, the gym is always spotless. This creates a really positive environment that makes it a pleasure to work out there. Phil knows the name of everyone who trains at his gym. Not only does he greet each person by name when they arrive, but he also takes the time to introduce everyone to each other. This creates a sense of community and camaraderie that is all too rare in today's world. Overall, I can't recommend Phil and his gym highly enough. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out on your fitness journey, he will help you achieve your goals in a welcoming and supportive environment. If you're looking for a personal trainer who truly cares about his clients and takes pride in his work, look no further than Phil and New Dorp Fitness.

There is ample cardio equipment as well such as ellipticals, stair climbers, hand bikes, cycling machines, etc. The owner Phil is very knowledgeable and treats you like family. His knowledge of excercise science is second to none. He runs a tight ship and any trouble makers will not be allowed to return. The complete lack of riff raff and friendly members make this an ideal gym for the professional. There is never a wait for a machine or bench. Staff is friendly and professional. Has a parking lot which is nice. I can't recommend this place enough.

My grandmother had purchased one of the original bungalows for $1500 in '46. Every summer except one until I was 21, I visited our family summer home. My children were 4th generation. Many of the families that returned each year were multi-generational. The special part of being a resident were the activities each day run by a hired camp counselor team. We had an orchestra from NYC play every Saturday night starting at 6 PM for the little kids, teenagers danced to records, then the band came back at 10 PM for the adults. We participated in all sports. My first kiss, first beer, first dance all happened at Cedar Grove. We lost our house in 1992 to a strong storm, and I understand the entire beach was decimated during hurricane Sandy. Of all my life long memories, Cedar Grove Beach Club is my most favorite, sacred of all others. I cherish those summers.

I am also so happy that Wheeler park welcomes everyone from all over NJ (and elsewhere). Coming from out of the county will cost you a bit more, but not much. If you live outside of Union County it is $4.00 for kids ($2.00 in county) and $6.00 for adults ($3.00 in county). This splash pad has every water feature a kid could ever need - from bigger twisty water slides, to a small dragon water slide. Also, water guns that you can shoot each other with, a pirate boat, water shooting up from the ground, and much more. My kids spent a little over 2 hours here and had an absolute blast. We've been here about 3 times and it never disappoints. Just be sure to bring some sort of shade covering. There isn't much cover at the splash pad so we usually bring our small beach tent with us. There is also a dry playground in the splash pad gated area where kids can play too. They have staff who help keep the kids safe and to make sure everyone goes down the water slides safe and sound. I highly recommend Wheeler Spray Park on a hot summer day.
