This is a little dance studio with a big heart. All Stars make learning fun for children. My…read moredaughter is finishing up on her second session, and just performed in her first dance recital. You can see the transformation take place. My daughter went from being a shy 4 year-old in pre-ballet, to a confident 5 year-old on stage in front of a packed audience performing ballet/jazz. Sure, the elevator is maddeningly slow, (take the stairs), and the website is a bit of a spazz. And though new parents are hit with an almost overwhelming amount of information leading up to the photo days, mandatory dress rehearsals, and dance recitals, there's a reason this studio has lasted a decade in the community. At the center is a group of dance instructors, and an owner that cares deeply for the success of the children that enter this studio. You can see the evidence of this in the friendships that flourish, and the bonding that takes place in the rehearsal space, in between classes, at community outings, and on stage. Queens parents, if you're looking enrich your child's learning, and get them in dance, All Stars Studios is a solid investment. You can also take a free trial class to see if it's a good fit.

I don't usually write reviews, but I wanted to say that this place is a great find! The place is…read moreclean and well kept. Both my daughter and now, my son are students here and we are so pleased with the studio. The staff cares for the kids as their own. The atmosphere is full of respect, love and kindness towards the students. My kids actually love going to dance class each week. The online registration and payment system makes everything neat and organized and self-service. They often have little fundraiser nights for things such as, recently, Dance Studios affected by Hurricane Florence, where they collected old shoes and had a movie and dance party for the kids while the parents got to enjoy a few hours on a Friday night sans kids. They are socially responsible and instill those values as well. Even the vending machine caters to healthy snacks rather than sugary treats. The annual show gets better and better every year both from an organizational standpoint as well as a dance showcase. I am so happy that my kids are here, there's no place better!

This was like heaven compared to our last school that had upwards of 70 or 80 people packed into 1 class. The instructors were very knowledgeable and broke down the steps well. If you weren't getting the moves, they would nicely suggest staying at that level before moving to the more advanced class. The schedule was great for us and the price was great, the instructors are great. Go go go!

My daughters take Jazz and tap with Ms. Amanda. I have nothing but great things to say about her teaching style. She is strict enough to keep the kids on task but still makes it fun for them. Thur also have an amazing Hip-Hop teacher in John. I am very tempted to sign up for this as it looks like great exercise and release of energy. As for other reviewers saying they would like a live stream, I disagree. The last thing the teachers need is parents watching their every move. It's family run so you're never talking to someone who isn't directly involved in the day to day operations. As popular as dance is for kids I expected this to be a big hit on the wallet but it is very affordable. I highly recommend this school for all ages and levels.

I've been a student at Destination for over a year and am very pleased with the results…read more Taught by Linda Kurtis, I'm able to perform over 9 dances decently. Linda is a FABULOUS teacher. Not only does she have every move down perfectly but also is very patient; when something isn't coming across, she teaches alternatives, or postpones it into the future and goes on to another topic. She also constantly refines my moves to make them more professional. I first came to Destination, after having taken lessons very long ago, for a crash course for a date coming up in 2 weeks. She got me up to performing very adequately then , and now, against all my expectations, I'm still her student a year and a half later!

What I like about this place is the small groups and that the teacher takes time with each of the students. My daughter likes her teacher Angelica and is looking forward to those Sunday classes. I didn`t like the owner Diana at first but then after some time I changed my opinion and even started taking the stretching class that she offered for parents in the second studio while my daughter was in her class. This helps to get some benefit from the 2 hour wait . Good place all in all.

Some people even wore homemade costumes. There were several pieces of really cool art displayed in the center's small exhibition spaces. JCAL puts on many events throughout the year, from jazz concerts to children's festivals, as well as other music events, arts/crafts/jewelry making workshops. They have rotating art exhibits.
