I just recently went to Krystie's recital and was frankly blown away! I didn't know that there was a studio at this level in the local area. Her dancers are phenomenal! It is also very obvious how much her dancers love her, which is very important to me as a parent. After watching the recital I knew why the other studios say the things they do. They are terrified! The recital made my decision so easy when it came to choosing a studio for my daughter. I want my daughter to be at the best studio! I think the person above is quite uninformed. Krysite currently has a dancer up for a major role on Broadway, she announced it at the recital. The bottom line is if you want a quality dance education from the best studio in town, at a facility second to none, from a good moral person, this is the place for you!

Krystie does not teach for the right reasons. It is not even apparent that she enjoys working with children. She does not teach to develop a skill or inspire the art of dance in her students. Instead, she teaches to win awards. Krystie neglects the responsibility of teachers everywhere to nurture the emotional aspect of children. She also exhibits poor sportsmanship and fails to make any positive relationships with other studios. This studio has yet to produce anyone that has gone on to have a successful career as a performer. This is due to the limited training given there. The dancers at Krystie's are trained to do tricks to win awards, but are not given the skills and knowledge necessary to take their dancing to the next level. In the niles/warren area, there is a general negative connotation associated with Krystie's Dance Academy. ...read more

Dance classes are usually held at dance studios, where sessions are conducted based on age or dance type. To remember classmates and document the classes taken, the studio often takes a class portrait of the members together.

Square dancing is a form of dance that is a lot of fun and a great way to meet new people. If you want to learn to do this type of dance, learning from videos is an easy way to do so. Learning dance in this manner allows people to feel more comfortable, as they can learn in private, in their own home. ...read more
