There has not been a review of this place in years. I am not spewing lies I am simply stating my experience. Lynn, the owner, has put too many things in writing to dispute the facts. She can clearly use her mouth to spread lies but my attorney and I have all the written words from her. She wrote to me she knew I was leaving the studio for weeks so she treated my daughter poorly in class for that duration and not only did she throw my child out of dance she now refuses to return the monies which are mine and she has so stated in writing they are mine. She wants a settlement agreement. A settlement agreement? What has she given me? Nothing - not even the money she owes me. It's criminal. She is a common thief who wishes for me not to speak ill of what she has done. Her actions are heinous. How can I not warn others? She decided to toss my child two weeks before recital because I said the truth that the studio is filthy and smells of sewage. The reality is she knew we were leaving and wanted to make my child's experience sour. Her actions were retaliatory for me making a decision not return the following year. Shame shame on you Ms Lynn. I had decided many months ago to leave the studio next year. I, as a customer, fulfilled my obligation and would have never reneged on a commitment for the year. What kind of integrity would it show not to fulfill a commitment? Clearly not the role model I want my child to grow up with. She did not like what I had to say .... She never approached me..... She never asked why...... She simply does not meet her contractual obligations. She made a huge error to put it in writing that she knew we were leaving and she made a list of all the monies she owed to me. First she robbed my daughter of a good dance experience than she robbed me of my money. I have watched Lynn discipline children and punish children as she fits without consulting the parent. She threw another child out of the studio just a few short days after my child. She is a wild card. Teachers are leaving....students are leaving and a lot of kids are dancing elsewhere. You are the company you keep. Word of mouth is a powerful tool. Original review I found this dance studio to be down trodden,filthy and antiquated. I have heard that the health department made a recent visit. I do not feel this studio promotes a professional atmosphere. We decided to leave and I wish we did it sooner.

There is no arguing that this dance school is excellent in teaching children how to dance however…read morethe way they hold their recital is not safe. Other dance schools will have you SIGN OUT your own child before they let you leave the recital venue but this is not true with this dance school. They had let my 6 yrs old daughter go on her own to some desk close to an exit door. When I went to pick my daughter up in the classroom where she stayed during the recital i was told that "she went with somebody she was happy to see" the person who is "supposedly" watching her could not even tell me whether it was a male or female that picked my daughter up which just shows that this so called "guardian" was lying. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! She could have been abducted and they would have not known it. This is a horrible experience and totally not worthy of my child.

This is a very good dance school if you want your child to be part of a competition dance troupe…read more My daughter has taken dance classes at other dance schools and we always expected the recital to be around 2-2.5 hours long. This dance school was the exception as their recital lasted over 3.5 hours and was followed by 20 minute speeches from various adults thanking everybody, then followed up by handing out individual awards to students on stage. We arrived at the recital at 3:30pm (show started at 4pm) and finally got in our car at 8pm. There was a 15 min intermission in order to stretch our legs and get the circulation moving again. The recital consisted of 52 dance performances. Out of the 52 performances about 30 if not more of them were performed by their competition dance troupe. The dance troupe did a beautiful job, and they all are very talented dancers. It was a joy to watch them dance from large groups, small groups and individual dances. Not sure why they needed to perform over 30 different dances as they should have performed a lot less in order to give us a preview of what they are all about. I also found out during the show, my daughter did not get to see any of the performances as she was sitting in a room and watching a movie with her group.

I've been taking pole classes at Flight Risk Aerials (at their new studio in Randolph) for about 5…read moremonths now, and I absolutely love it here! I took a few aerial and lyra classes as well and I was very impressed with those classes too. Every instructor here has their own style, which makes every class unique, educational and interesting. The classes are normally relatively small (3-12 people depending on the day), so you get lots of individual attention and feedback from the instructors as well as whole-class instruction. Oftentimes we have to share poles, but this means that you make a friendship with your pole mate, which is a huge part of the experience in my opinion. The ceiling is very high, so we have very tall poles which makes moves that involve climbing, inverts, descents, etc. a lot more possible. This is a relatively small studio so naturally you will have more advanced folks coming to intro class sometimes and vice versa. Whenever there are many people in the class of different levels (i.e. some beginners, some intermediates, etc) the instructors always do their best to accommodate everyone no matter their skill level. I look forward to the studio offering more advanced classes soon. I've made many great friends coming here, as it is an incredibly thriving, inclusive community. It's always a very supportive, body-positive environment in my experience. I will certainly continue to take classes here as long as I live in NJ. I'll never go to a run-of-the-mill gym again. If you get the monthly membership, you get your money's worth after just 7-8 classes, which if you go more than twice a week is definitely worth it. Would highly recommend Flight Risk Aerials to anyone looking to get into pole, aerials or lyra!

Where else can you take an aerial silks class around here?? I don't know but I'd be more than…read morewilling to go back here for some other classes as well. A girlfriend planned a bachelorette brunch that started off with aerial silks as an alternative to the traditional binge drinking night of bad decisions-I would have went either way but this was a refreshing idea. The owner set up a paypal payment method so that whoever wanted to sign up could and it took the pressure off of dealing with all of it the day of. We had about 20 people show up for this event--it was a really nice group of girls and the owner (i guess, and her assistant) were both very nice and accommodating. So I can't elaborate so much on the experience because I'm stupid and hurt my back a week ago, didn't even think of it because it started feeling better but when I attempted to get on the silks it was just a no-go for me. I should have asked for a credit for another class as I sat out the entire time but it is what it is no biggie. So the silks hang from the ceiling, they are secure and you won't fall out (if you follow directions). They take you through a variety of poses and movements and help you into position if you need. Be prepared there is a significant amount of pressure put on the body wherever you are hanging from, so when you start out on the lower back that's the pressure, if you get into other poses with the silk wrapped around your hips or legs, that's where the pressure is. You might get some silk burn or some slight bruises but it's not like someone's punching you it's just a pressure thing. I definitely want to go back and try belly dancing, they also have pole dance, and chair dance. If you're looking for something different give this place a go!
