Words cannot quantify how valuable Ms. Irina has been to the ballet community through the years…read more Not only is she a gifted artist with gorgeous stage presence, fluidity and musicality- she is also an absolute master of a teacher. She has the ability to break down every technical aspect of the Vaganova method, all while coaching the emotions behind repertoire choreography for performers... I began studying recreationally with Ms. Irina when I was a teenager. At first I was intimidated, but then I realized what a rare gem she was! Even now that I'm in my 30's, I still "Zoom In" to her virtual classes because her lessons are still so vital to my life. I owe her my career! I briefly danced professionally in NYC. I moved to Pennsylvania during Covid, but I now have established teaching position at a pre-professional ballet academy thanks to the education I received under Ms. Irina... I always say "the day Irina retires is that day I have to quit my job. I am useless without her!" Even through Zoom, she keeps my brain sharp, and she keeps my body in shape. She challenges us while always teaching us with something new. She has a profound understanding of the body, and she can give corrections that most other teachers would miss. She is passionate and generous with her knowledge. Ballet lives and breathes through her. Any dancer that is serious about ballet- whether for the love of the art, or the love of knowledge- you'd be remiss to not take advantage of Ms. Irina!

This past summer she attended the summer dance camp and had a wonderful time. The dance teachers are so very nice and they have a great passion for their classes and their students. The location in Old Brookville is convenient and close to home the parking is very good. I always look forward to the dance show and the performances are outstanding and fun to see. Dance school is a vital part of the development of a young girl giving them confidence and poise to help them develop their minds, bodies and souls to be their best which is exactly what it's done for our daughters.

This review is for a private session with Christina who covers urban hip hop…read more A couple of things to note.. Call in if you're looking to attend class soon, but stick to email if your inquiry isn't urgent. It does take some time for them to get back to you because they have so many people to get back to. I reached out via email because I wanted to take a hip hop class for fun but lack dance experience. The best thing about a private session is that tutors cater their lessons to suit your level and pace. After further consultation about the type of dance style and music I was interested in, they helped me book an appointment. I also wanted to note that I was being rather difficult due to a change in my schedule and went back and forth about attending the class. I initially asked for a refund but ultimately decided to attend and the staff were really understanding about it. A class costs about $100 not including other add-ons (music video editing and filming). If you decide to schedule a private session you should have the following information prepared -location you want the session at (you're responsible for renting the studio space if you choose Manhattan) -dates and time preferences for the session (classes are based on instructor availability which typically means most weekends during the afternoon or evening) -style of dance and music suggestions (instructor ultimately decides on the routine and song but you can tell them what you're looking for) Once you're booked you'll get a confirmation email and payment instructions. Payments must be made at least 2 days in advance before your class. GETTING THERE: You can take the F to Parsons and hop on the Q65 bus if you don't want to take the LIRR. I believe the F, 7, N, and Q can also take you there but expect to do a couple of transfers if you don't live in the area. I'm hours away from the flushing location but I made the trip based on reviews. I'm not confident enough to perform in groups and decided a private session would be a good way to start. I heard how welcoming and friendly the instructors and students are at this place so decided to give it a shot. THE LESSON: I just finished my private lesson with Christina and I feel empowered. We danced to Ariana Grandes God is a Woman which was originally prepared for one of their intermediate classes. Her choreography really had me feelin myself. I have two left feet and at times got really nervous trying to be technically accurate but Christina was so patient with me and gave excellent tips on how to loosen up and enjoy dance. She broke down all the steps clearly, slowly and then we practiced on an off with music. I definitely want to continue practicing and come back for lessons again. Also, as a heads up be sure to ask if you can record the session because they typically only record when you're done with the entire choreography. For those of you who are beginners as well, live close to Manhattan, and want to try group classes she recommends Ness and Fernando (my spelling might be inaccurate) if you're looking to learn upbeat hip hop style dance. They teach on Wednesday and Friday. Overall, this class really helped boost my confidence and it was worth the cost and trip.

I started ballet "late" as a 17 year old and was very nervous to find a teacher who took me seriously and could provide a serious grounding in the basics and had a true passion for dance.

It has also encouraged me to be more active and involved in daily life.

Most people who workout here only do so because they have personal trainers that are affiliated with their gym. The personal trainers here are excellent but there is a price to pay for excellence. Their workout classes are awesome but super expensive to pay per class is $20.00 and to pay for unlimited classes a year it in the thousands. The only reason I was able to experience this gym is because I used to get reimbursed by my former employee. The clientele are mostly stay at home moms who can really afford to do what they please. I can only hope that one day I will be there working out again haha :)
