My wife and I have taken lessons at several studios in the Princeton area and G&J is most definitely number 1! The principals are not going anywhere and they care about how each person is treated and they go the "extra mile" to teach you the finer points of doing each dance so that you learn more rapidly than at a lot of the other studios! This is absolutely the best value for your time and money.

Our two children LOVE Dance Connection! They attend tap/jazz for the youngest, and boys hip-hop for…read morethe older one. Mr. David is silly and friendly, but he still pushes the kids to make sure they become stronger dancers. We do the rec dancing, not competition. At other dance schools, I have felt like the focus is solely on the competition teams, with the rest of the kids just serving as filler. Never the case at Dance Connection! I've also been impressed with how the school began to provide high-end virtual opportunities and socially distant summer camps when this became necessary. They adjusted the common areas in the studio and the classrooms to allow for proper distancing, too. Mr. David worked with the parents to explain the new measures and made sure we feel comfortable. We'll be a Dance Connection family for years to come.

My daughter has been taking ballet with The Dance Connection for several years now. She and I feel…read morelike we found our "dance home" here. Every teacher she has danced with has not only been knowledgeable and accomplished but also fun and kind which is very important for cultivating a love of ballet and also the desire to push on. David the owner, an accomplished dancer and also a teacher there always offers a welcoming smile to the children and is always available to the parents. He certainly has a way with children. I remember when my daughter started dancing at his school she hated her tights and refused to go to class filling the waiting area with her screams. David was so gentle and reassuring and managed to get her to pull it together and join the class! All the staff are wonderful as are the families that that share my love of this school. I also want to compliment David and his staff for pushing on despite the COVID pandemic. Dance has never stopped for my daughter. Virtual classes went off without a moments hesitation when the world shut down. He put together a virtual recital in front of a green screen last June! Pretty amazing! Classes picked up on schedule this September. Small classes, social distancing and masks but the dance goes on. I'm so grateful for this little bit of normal and the smile on my daughter's face when she takes off that mask after class and tells me "Mommy that was fun!"

I had attended Flair for many years, and all I have to say is if your not a favorite then you won't…read moreget far in this dance academy. I was passive aggressively body shamed by my dance instructors. All of the larger students were sent to the back of the dance while all the skinnier dancers were in the front. From my perspective, your position in dances was based solely on size and weight and not on skill. I have many friends who also had similar experiences with this dance academy. While I did learn some, I mainly developed the skill of doubting myself in everything I do, specifically dancing. I attended Flair for 4 years, and even after all those years Ms.Amanda, the owner and my instructor for 3 of the 4 years, couldn't remember my name. It was most likely because I was in the back for almost all of the dances I was in and didn't conversate with any of the other dancers besides her favorites. Overall, Flair Dance Academy taught me some dance but overall made me have serious self image issues.
