I would recommend anyone thinking about enrolling your child at this studio to stay far away. We…read morehad taken our girls there prior to covid and that ownership unfortunately sold to a new owner and to put it simply she is not up to task. There was specific incident that occurred in a class that was handled the wrong way. The adult instructor allowed and indicated to the only two girls "one being my daughter and the other a friend" in the class that they did not have to wear a mask which I am actually fine with considering it is only two girls and an instructor in a large studio. The issue is that the owner decided give a little talk to the children who were instructed by the dance teacher that removal of the mask is okay. So without finding out about whether or not the students decided to not wear a mask or were told not to by the adult she just assumed they took it upon themselves to remove the masks. The owner then decided to lecture me at pick up time about the mask policy. I had one simple question as to who allowed them to remove the mask and the owner only responded with "it is the studio's policy to wear masks in class," which is fine but than why are instructors telling kids to take the mask off if they want? Again, I could care less about the mask on or off. More concerned about the lack of management understanding a situation and placing blame on an 8 and 9 year old. And the icing on the cake is to than come out and lecture the parent. The other issue that day is that my daughter had come in the wrong attire "gray stretch pants instead of black and her hair was not tied up as required." My daughter takes some of the blame if not all because she should know and was told as such by me after the fact. As her dad I was not on the up and up about the strict dance gallery attire I assumed she would know and follow rules. The same day incident was handled again oddly by ownership sending a stern email to Parents in addition to a talking to after class. Quiet frankly the studio is not the same and enrollment is very weak due to obvious reasons. We had been charged 1100 dollars on Nov 22nd 2021 and this took place Nov 30th one week later. I told the owner that day my daughters are no longer coming here and I want a refund. Keep in mind the 1100 dollar charge is for December through feb 2022. So maybe this class counted towards 1100 dollar charge . If so one class used out of 1100 dollars. Dance gallery is refusing to give a refund. The owner of the studio is basically only concerned about money and I want people to be aware of that fact before you enroll your child or children like We had done. We tried to give this dance studio a chance considering the long standing relationship we had prior to the new owner but she is just not a good person and focused only on her bottom line. If I could give no stars I would. If some had paid in full for services not rendered yet and wanted a refund because they decided it was not the right fit at my business- guess what I do the right thing and refund over a thousand dollar to the client. The fact is this owner is desperate for money or just greedy.

After struggling with disappointment in two dance studios nearby, I signed my daughter up at The…read moreDance Gallery. What a huge difference!!! I could not be happier. This place is what dancing should be all about. They teach little girls from age 3 up to adults. Miss Stephanie, the studio's Director, is a professionally trained dancer with a gift for teaching and encouraging. She's simply wonderful. The studio is brand new, with real floating wood dance floors, and classes are small enough to allow for individualized mentoring. The whole staff is great, and the tuition prices are very reasonable. I love this place. Thank you Dance Gallery for rescuing my daughter from Ballet dispair!!! PS: Very well located across the Tuckahoe train station (we live in nearby Bronxville) makes for easy pick-ups and drop-offs

I typically switched after three years when my progress would plateau after the same study routines. I have been studying with Miss Evelyn LaQuaif for the past 20 years and am happily surprised that in my mid-seventies, I am singing my very best and still improving. Most of my previous teachers gave me metaphoric inspiration, as I would hopelessly imitate their better voices. But how could I get there? Miss LaQuaif is the only one who taught me the physical mechanics of good singing. She offers details that are palpable and teaches hands on: "Belly breathing...use your ribs...your tongue is too loose...guide your voice with your hand...oh, you forgot to rest..." Miss LaQuaif is a multi-talented artist that has that rare talent and sensitivity to feel and guide the students' muscle coordination -- minute details of tongue, palate, throat, and diaphragm that are invisible to ordinary people's external observation. She has the ear and mental conception for what is naturally beautiful in the student's voice. Her method of teaching is creative and often changing. The result: a strengthening of the singing muscles and shedding counterproductive habits that have stood in the student's way. Throw in a little psychology, human empathy, and a profound respect of the art of singing -- then you may sense what Miss LaQuaif is like as a teacher. -JCWM

Lesson prices are expensive, comparable to the Fred Astaire studios, but this is the norm.
