She was going to different schools since she was three and honestly she didn't like any and hated many teachers. Mostly because it felt that teachers didn't really want to put any effort in teaching little kids because they knew there would be no showing off any successful dance or participating in competitions, children are too little. But in Alma dance academy I feel like teacher just loves to teach, she is absolutely fantastic at it and she just loves the process and loves kids. I see her with my daughter who is 6, see her with 2 year olds and 12 year olds - she is an incredible teacher to all of them - patient, motivating, energetic and just pure joy to be around. Thank you for teaching my daughter flamenco, she keeps saying how much she loves her teacher and the dancing. All thanks to Alma dance academy. Hope you prosper and be happy here in Cliffside Park and we love having you as a part of our community. Grateful mom of a dancing 6 year old girl.

Service was good by Alejandro & Tomas. We had Saratoga water that is my favorite and the bar drinks were delicious. I had a margarita and my husband had a vodka old fashioned. We had mussels and shrimp cocktail as appetizers which were good. I had the lemon chicken dish for dinner that I enjoyed. My husband had surf & turf which he liked but thought it was small and there was shell on the lobster. He did enjoy the rolls. We ordered truffle fries but got sweet potato fries. They were good so we ate them, but it would have been nice to try the truffle fries. All in all the dinner was nice as the ambiance was lovely. There was also live music. I liked it but it could have been a little lower. We would go back and try some other dishes. Cool to check out!

One of the assistant from the lobby called me ( not her fault by the way ) I blame Mia the " instructor " for not telling me this after the class face to face ( not professional there at all !!!) she has to send someone to tell me that my daughter apparently was not a good fit and she is too young for the class and she was distracted like any kid of her age, so now hear me out now Nancy, why you offer me this class then when I specifically say my daughter is 4 if the class is 5-8 then?

I was here this weekend for the CU MFA acting project. Had we known the theater was in a church we probably wouldn't have gotten lost. Pretty funny though considering the somewhat blasphemous material of Canterbury Tales (the show we saw). Despite the high school gym feel (odd colored tiling and florescent lighting) in the "lobby", I thought this was a nice, intimate theater. I feel like every seat is a good seat. The acoustics were pretty great and very few members of the cast had to be mic'd. The lighting seemed somewhat limited, but that's more of a concern for people putting on a show there than the audience. And I don't know if the stage crew are students, but they did an awesome job. I didn't see them trolling up and down the sides like I usually do in professional settings. There are plenty of bathrooms for the ladies and note to the men.. the gift shop is not the bathroom. Portable munchies can be purchased in the vending machine off to the side.. otherwise sneaking in fruit and rice krispies treats is how I roll. From the schedule, it looks like this space doubles as a movie theater and also holds dance shows. Definitely a great space.. but the tickets are probably a couple more dollars than I'd hope to pay.

I am pleased to write this glowing review for Sherryl Morantz, in fact the review is long overdue!…read moreI had begun to purchase lovely paintings from Sherryl eight years ago and after referring a friend who likewise became a good customer, I went back to Sherryl last week. And once again, I saw Sherryl in action. I didn't even have to finish my sentences, or my thoughts, since she really understood and grasped what I was trying to accomplish with art décor. It was as if she were standing right there in my apartment. She knew color, shape, size, theme, both in canvas and in frame so exquisitely well that I all the choices I made with Sherryl's assistance were right on point! Thank you, Morantz S. Galleries, and to its founder, Sherryl Morantz, for dedicating your life, your talents and your soul to the beauty of art and for understanding the importance of making it affordable at the same time. You are indeed a blessing!

After living in New York for a long time, I finally made it to the Big Apple Circus this year. Each…read moreact had its own unique theme and atmosphere, and I was surprised by the diversity of the performers. Between the main acts, the ringmaster performs smaller tricks and brings audience members on stage; while these segments felt a little long, they were cute overall. A few tips for your visit: - There is only one general entrance (plus VIP), so expect to wait outside. This can be tough if the weather is freezing. - There is a bar & plenty of snacks, but lines get long right before showtime. Be warned that the seating is very tight. I actually regretted buying nachos with cheese because I was terrified of spilling cheese on my neighbors! - The tent was very warm (sometimes too warm). Again, the seats are super tight so I had a hard time juggling my layers, bag, food, and drinks. - Most people say every seat has a good view, but for the best perspective, I'd recommend aiming for the center middle or upper rows. - Our 6:15 PM show ended at exactly 8:25 PM (2 hours and 10 minutes), which is helpful to know for dinner reservations. My only real disappointment was the audience. The performers do incredible, dangerous stunts, yet the applause was so weak! I felt bad for them- they deserve more than a polite "clap clap" for the level of talent they show. Overall, cute and great for all ages. Highly recommend!

We sat in the 3rd to last row and we were able to see every act perfectly fine. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - The light up toys that were sold in the Concessions area were $20 each! Talk about price mark up. Not only were they extremely expensive, but we noticed that they stopped lighting up for some people halfway through the show. - Supposedly, food and drinks are not allowed in, however, it's possible to get it in depending on how thorough security is with checking your bag. MIXED THOUGHTS --------------------------- = Nada. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Make sure to enter the big top through the gate assigned to your ticket as they will not let you in if you're trying to get in through the wrong gate. = Have your camera ready at ALLLLL times to record the action and take pictures!
