The children I attended with commented on how entertaining and fun the show was without a ton of elaborate sets, costumes or props. It was entertaining for the children from beginning to end without any lulls in the program. I also appreciate that is was cost effect at $9.00 per student so those too balance out a bit for me! I felt they could have been a bit more organized in getting the classes into the theater and seated but it was not too long that I would complain about it.

GSB is not about sequins, make up, competitions, or making kids dance to cutesy or age-inappropriate music. This is where you send your daughters and sons (Yes! Boys can do ballet, too!!) if you (and they) really want to study the art of ballet. Students are placed in levels based on skill, not age. The teachers are former professional dancers and amazing educators who know how to teach the fundamentals of ballet to young children and advanced techniques to older students. The Rutherford school has two studios, a small -- but well-loved -- living room-esque waiting area for parents, and a changing room for students. The no-frills annual concert allows students at all levels to show their families what they've learned in class, and everyone gets to take a bow. Pros: -Solid ballet education -Close to the 76, 190 buses and the Rutherford NJ Transit train station -Hand-me-downs available for students who can't afford new gear (or forget their shoes at home...) -Higher-level students can join the Youth Company and perform in the annual Nutcracker. -Dunkin Donuts is up the block Cons: -Parking (metered)

We are extremely disappointed how Diller handled their classes during pandemic. We've seen other…read moremusic place immediately shift their platform to online class such as zoom while everybody is ordered to stay at home. However, diller didn't provide any online class, the only thing we got is a weekly email with some crappy links, like mp3. With all the things start to reopen in the summer, we start to see outdoor music classes held by others. So we followed up with diller and hope they will arrange some make up classes, if not, get prorated refund. Unfortunately, their respond email is that we will not get any refunds even the classes are only held half during the semister. And we should be appreciate their emails and should be thankful as other families do. We spent around $1,300 for the whole semester, which will be 15 classes, until pandemic happened, we only took 7 classes, and now the rest is just forfeited (who will even count email as a class, not mention for a baby). Diller's class is the most expensive one among other baby music classes, the reason we chose them is that they have a piano player with each class, and we also want to establish a relationship with the school so my kid will learn instruments with them when they grow. But after Covid-19, we realized that the main goal Diller-Quaile has is to make money, they didn't really care if my baby learned any music. Until now, we didn't get any respond from them how they handle the missed classes, we only got respond because we followed up with them. But we still get their emails to donate money to help out kids learn music. We also saw that they updated their next semester registration. They will provide both online and in-person classes. And the price will be different. Our questions to Diller is that: if you have online classes, why you didn't provide it to my baby during pandemic, if the price is different, why we didn't get refund? It is obvious that they only spent time to build up this registration platform so you can pay them, but they will never refund you. Good luck to all who choose Diller-Quaile!

Once she takes you as a student, you're never alone. You can text her for advice before an audition, she cheers you on when you book something, picks you up when you don't, and acts like a mother hen to all her students. Her meet and greets with top agents are exclusive and intimate. Almost all of my bookings have come from them. She presents you, when you're ready, proudly and in the best light for you to audition. She teaches you tools that help in all auditions, voice over and otherwise. She guides you in all aspects of your career and never coddles or lies to you. You can trust you're getting the truth. I can't go on about Doriane enough. I've been an actor all my life. My career was going no where fast and I was sabotaging myself. Then I met this wonderful woman, took her on as my coach, and my career has been flourishing ever since. When I win an Oscar, she'll be the first I thank.

The floors are a little sticky and there isn't much of a dressing room, but I'm not looking for a world class gym anyway. Though a few poles may get in the way of seeing instruction, you at least always have plenty of room in these spacious, marley-floored studios. The price is certainly right at $13, and there are also lots of workshops ranging from Feldenkrais Method, to Contract Improv with the best teachers, to holistic wellness and nutrition. They nurture the whole dancer. If the instructors are anything like Tiffany Mills, then you'll find that they are clear, challenging, have exciting choreography, and interested in dance as art as atheleticism as theory as doing as feeling as being. I highly recommend checking out these classes.
