She loves her teachers, who are very kind and supportive. in just a few months, she learned three dances, which she performed flawlessly for her age group recital.

The teachers in her local school even asked me what was different in her routine. I highly recommend this dance studio. My biggest complain about this school is parking is a real pain in the rear.

The only problem I…read morehave is that the class often starts around 10 minutes late because the owner arrives late to open the school. If you're a small business owner you need to be professional and start on time like everyone else who works. We should be charged less if you're shortening the class by 10-15 minutes every week because the owner is consistently late.

My 2 year old had alot of fun in the ball pit bounce house and regular bouncehouse. Older kids had fun on the big slide bouncehouse, zipline, air hockey, shooting basketball.

Theres also lots of table space. They helped me set up all my decorations-placing balloons, taping up backgrounds, table and food set up etc. It was great that we had the whole place to ourselves. Pizza is also included for the children. They ordered us 3 pizzas for 12 children and we took the leftovers home. 2 hours definitely doesnt feel like enough. We had a 6-8pm time slot and I was considering extending it but since it was a knicks final game playing that night, i decided to just stay at 2 hours so everyone can leave and watch their game Theres a small parking lot in the front that can only fit 2-4 cars.

Bobbi and the Strays holds an Annual Masquerade Ball the Thursday before Halloween every year…read more Usually it takes place at Russo's on the Bay. You can always check their website to see when and where it will be. The venue is usually set by August. I go every year and try to bring as many friends and family as I can because it is just a great night. You get unlimited beer, wine, and soda - and a full dinner as well. A DJ spins while guests dance the night away. There are fabulous auction items to bid on as well as some great raffle prizes. They also give out prizes for the best costumes too. Celebrities also show. A few years the Sopranos came - then a bunch of Soap Stars - then designers like Steve Madden - then Rue McClanahan - then a few reality show stars, etc. You never know who will be there or who will show. It is pretty cool. Plus - proceeds from your tickets (after the dinner and banquet hall) all go to help stray dogs and cats. So what better way to spend your time - partying and helping animals at the same time. It is always a great night. People also can get pretty creative with their costumes too - so it is always fun just to come and look!

I recently had the pleasure of hiring The NYC Mariachi for my birthday party, and I can't say…read moreenough about the fantastic experience I had with them. The booking process was seamless. I appreciate how promptly they responded to all of my inquiries. It meant a lot to me that they would take the time to understand my vision for the event. I am particularly grateful to Alvaro, who was incredibly accommodating throughout the event. From the very first phone call his kindness and professionalism really stood out. As the time for the party was approaching I became anxious when most of the guest were running late due to the NYC Marathon happening the same day. I was worried that the late arrivals would throw off the vibe of the party. When I was anxious to inform the band of the tardiness they met my anxiety with gentle understanding and were so flexible, adjusting their schedule to make sure everyone had a chance to enjoy their performance. Their willingness to adapt made such a difference, turning what could have been a stressful situation into a smooth and enjoyable experience. They showed up at the most perfect time, dressed impeccably, bringing incredible energy that transformed the atmosphere. As soon as they started playing, I was genuinely moved, I felt so proud of my roots. The band consists of talented musicians who were not only skilled at their instruments but also bring an incredible stage presence. They interacted with the crowd beautifully. Taking song requests and even translated some of their lyrics into English so everyone could feel included. They were perfect. My friends are still raving about their performances, many said it was the best entertainment they'd seen at a party. A week later and I am still getting messages about how much fun everyone had and how great the band was. They made my birthday unforgettable, and I can't wait to book them for future celebrations. Thank you Mariachi NYC

I can't say enough about the Killing Kompany…read more We found them through attending the shows at Ruth's Chris. We decided to hire them to do our wedding. We started off the day with the power going out. There was uncertainty about what was going on with our wedding, but of course the show must go on. Luckily they had a battery operated sound system that allowed us to be able to speak on the mics during the ceremony. It saved the ceremony, for sure. The power went on right after we kissed (awww). The show was fantastic after that. They kept everyone upbeat. They were funny, and great, and I loved every minute of it. I would hire this company again in a heartbeat. The way they handled disaster was amazing. Jon kept my husband (!!) on the positive side during panic. Everybody raved about how great they were and how much fun they had. I knew that they would be awesome, but their help with this crazy situation helped to save our wedding. Can't wait to attend more shows! Eventually we'll solve it, I promise!

It's a murder mystery at a restaurant or bar. So, I want to say that cute maybe isn't the best word…read moreto use to explain it. Tonights was out in Patchogue, LI at a bar restaurant called OFF KEY TIKKI. The food though they tried, wasn't good. I believe one of the meat dishes might have been bad and I stuck with the turkey. When you go to these events, the food is usually standardly basic and its the show you are really there for. Bar drinks and desserts were not incorporated in the 60. dollar plus added gratuity to the total, paid before entering. This murder mystery was a bit uhh quirky. One note is to, be there on time. I was under the impression that it was food from 7:30 - 8:00 pm and then the performance murder mystery. Just at 8:00 I walked in and already had missed the gun shooting of the lead victim. The young lady playing the cop, went right along in roll and questioned me as to why I was late and where I was a short time ago. The police officer she was portraying had clothing not up to snuff with black sneakers. The overall acting could have used tweaking. But as it is for entertainment, I went along and got into it asking people around me all kinds of questions. There was a scene of someones head but it was not made clear to the audience quite how that fit in. However Jon Avner artistic director and founder of the company, who writes and customizes the stories to fit the request and need of the people who higher his company, actually was pretty funny and acted well in the part with the interaction of the audience participants. Some of them were pretty funny too. Near the end of the performance the audience and suspects are given a paper form to fill out along with a pencil that reads Murder? 1-888 shoot em and asking to write, basically, Who done it and why. Then the chosen best audience actors get a few gifts and the person who comes closest to the correct-who done it gets a shirt and some other goodies, this time including some handcuffs. Again, all in good fun. Ok, so I was the one who logically wrote that it was the Lieutenant. It wasn't. But I choose not to say more to prevent any spoiler alert. As for the place, while the people there were nice and it is a local bar and not one I would likely frequent, 3 stars is about it for their rating.
