We contacted them about two weeks before our wedding--the panicked point at which we realized we wanted to look good dancing our first dance as a married couple. (Note: I advise contacting them much, much sooner.) Thanks to their patience, good humor, and most of all, their SKILL in teaching the non-gifted the basics; we made it through our first dance very well. In fact, we actually got compliments from many of our guests on how well we danced. What I like most is that the spouse and I now have a new, social, active hobby the two of us can pursue together. We look forward to taking Kurt's group dance classes in the future. So, if you want to learn to dance, call Kurt!

My experience with The Next Jennaration has been wonderful…read more I live ten hours away so viewing the recitals each year has been nothing short of perfection. The students so clearly love what they do, and work so hard. You can sense the feeling of togetherness from the audience and you can hear about how their teamwork, hard work and chemistry pay off with the many many awards, scholarships, choreography awards, appearances on live TV shows (Dance Moms, America's Got Talent, Live Streaming of the Battles) and many other awards that this group brings. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to work the front desk for 6 months this year and I could not believe the family atmosphere that the studio has. The office manager (Miss Vonnie) is always ready to meet everyone with a smile and kind, helpful encounter. The owner (Miss Jenna) brings a passion and love for the studio that is second to none. You will find her in the studio 99% of the time with the dancers, and when she is able to come out to the lobby she comes out with an energy showing how much she loves the students and working with them. The teachers have mostly grown up in the studio (Miss Deja, Miss Jessie, Miss Katie, Miss Taylor) and became The Next Jennaration Family and give back to the younger dancers by transitioning their role from team member themselves, to teachers. Other primary instructors (Miss Maria, Miss Jodi) have been training students since the opening and bring the best energy and a technical knowledge that brings everyone to another level. Miss Jodi even trained Miss Jenna when she was younger! :) The students have so much fun with dance and the social interactions that the studio brings. The students work so hard every time they get the chance to be in the studio. Outside of the studio, they are doing fun things to better themselves and the world. If you want to see some of the fun that they have, check out The Next Jennaration vlog. You can witness the way that these students are thinking about bettering the world by watching the team groups finding ways to give back to the community in their free time or competing in competitions that are solely fundraisers for causes in need. It shows the way these values are passed down from the owner and teachers, to the teams. The next Jennaration is the place if you are looking for an experience to build your child physically, socially, emotionally and have a foundation of friendship and a family like atmosphere that is going to last them a lifetime. It is an all around investment in your child's future.

I can not think of a better place to dance and just be, then at The Next Jennaration. I have had…read morethe opportunity to be a part of this dance family for the past 16 years, and can't help but keep coming back! I started dancing with Miss Jenna was I was six years old at summer dance camp, in 2005! I still remember that first day of that camp when I met Miss Jenna and the other dancers, I knew I found my forever dance family. As of four years ago, I was given the opportunity from Miss Jenna pursue my summer internships at the dance studio. This is something common you will find at TNJ, as the staff consists of alumni, like myself, that have so much love and admiration for Miss Jenna, other staff members, and the current dancers. To be able to show our passion for dance, that was first founded at the same studio, to the current dancers is one of the greatest opportunities I have experienced here. When you step through the door you are always welcomed with the most warm and energetic presence from Miss Jenna, the staff, and of course your dance friends. The atmosphere in the studio is something so incredibly special. The level of energy, positivity, and appreciation from one another is so strong you can not help but feel loved when you leave your dance class. I feel this is due to the family-like emphasis Miss Jenna has for all of her dancers. I have created some of the strongest and longest friendships with the dancers I have made at the studio, which I am forever grateful for! Beyond the love we all have for each other, the level of dance training is incomparable to anything I have seen anywhere else. Miss Jenna pours her heart and soul into the quality of training she offers, making sure it is only the best for every dancer in the studio. If you have ever been to a TNJ recital or performance, you know this to be true. Miss Jenna's genuine passion and love for dance is directly absorbed and transferred to the students in their own dancing, it is truly amazing to see. One extremely special aspect of TNJ that many do not initially see, are the life lessons that are adapted by every dancer. The understanding and appreciation of being a part of a team/group is one of the many life skills I feel I have learned in my time here and continue to use and experience in life. As well, commitment not only to yourself, but others around you, is something very unique that we all feel towards each other from the very first time dancing together. This is why I know being a part of the TNJ family has been one of the most incredible opportunities I have ever had. If you are looking for a dance studio that will give unconditional love and acceptance to you or your dancer, along side the nationally and world renowned training from Miss Jenna and the staff, then with all of my heart I recommend you look into classes at TNJ!!

He was very,Very friendly and got to know us on a more personal yet extremely professional level. He was patient and always willing to answer our concerns or share tips and advice. Where most studios only offer 30-45 minutes per lessons,we got to enjoy an hour and a half of personalized instruction at a very great price. I won't lie I was feeling kinda sad leaving his studio after our last lesson, but we are extremely satisfied customers and guests enjoyed our first dance! I hope to take more lessons with Geno in the future! I highly recommend Geno and his dance studio ( All For The Love Of Dancing)...5 stars..no wait make it 10 Stars!!

I met Donna and she is a very good teacher and dancer. We started with the popular hustle. Donna has created multiple patterns and calls the moves as she teaches them. It is at times difficult to follow with three couples but Donna really is quite good at this. I am slow to get it all but with practice I know my wife and I will do great. The studio is very spacious and has two dance floors. They floors are great for dancing and there are mirrors in both walls to view how you look. Parking is in the garage by sears and most of the time no one is there. The price is reasonable at $25 per couple per hour. She is flexible and will accommodate your schedule. She takes walk-ins and has dance nights with DJ and live bands. Oh and bring cash, she doesn't take credit cards. All in all this has been a lot of fun and we have had a blast with our friends. Thank you Donna and I will make you proud by end of June.

They provide name tags so everyone can get to know one another more easily. The crash course brings you up to speed with no prior knowledge needed. The instructors are skillful and offer great explanations. The founder's (Allison) passion is evident. She makes every effort to ensure the space is safe, welcoming, and fun. The best part is the social dancing afterwards. Everyone is so inclusive and friendly. We have met many friends through this group and now we make it a point to go to every event they're hosting. Join us on the dance floor!

Allison leads this group with beginners in mind, is conscious of safety and well-being, and is just a fantastic teacher. And the other teachers (such as Mangesh and Moriah) are wonderful too!

The school bus drops them off right there. That was a big selling point. I was told my daughter…read morecould get off the bus there and they would look after her until class and until pick up time. The first day when I pulled up 15 minutes early my 6 year old was already waiting in the parking lot for me. She had taken the wrong class and gotten out early. No one noticed she was in the wrong class and no one noticed her walk out the building or her waiting in the parking lot area alone. Then on another occasion she was dared by an older kid to go outside naked she did and again no one noticed a her go outside even naked. I should have known better than to let her be there on her own shame on me I won't do that anymore. The parking lot is muddy a large part of the year that's hard on shoes and vehicle interior. There's no large viewing window. There's a window in the door you can look through but you risk getting hit by the door, being in the way and other parents are also trying to look through the window. The cost is about 85$ a quarter and the class is about 40 minutes long once a week we did a recital of the Nutcracker last winter it was performed at Cayuga College. The Spring performance is going to be Wizard of Oz. This is a revision review as the owner did call me today to introduce herself to me and also to address these issues. She also let me know I had the cost wrong on my old review I fixed it now to reflect the correct price.
