“If you are looking for a Dance School for your son or daughter then please pay close attention. First and foremost The NY Dancer's Studio is a wonderful school for students to learn and practice dance. Being an educator, I am attuned to what constitutes a positive, productive, structured - and yes even fun filled classroom. These attributes are all in abundance at NYDS*. Upon further reflection, The NY Dancer's Studio is like one great big happy family. The teachers treat the kids as if they are their own . Each of the dance teachers is thoroughly professional - many having performed on Broadway and even with The Rockettes. Notably, Stacy Nelson, the owner and director, stresses proper instruction in dance above all. The kids form bonds with friends that last a lifetime. The fact is that The NY Dancer's Studio helps and challenges each student to be the best performer he or she can become. I always look forward to the annual recital as it is the climax to yet another year of hard work, practice, sacrifice and dedication by so many - none more so than the students. However, I can truly say that I have come to appreciate seeing Ms. Nelson and her stellar staff start with these students ( many on shaky legs and feet ) in September. I love the process and discipline through which these students invariably blossom in confidence, strength and stature. We owe much to The Art of Dance as practiced at The New York Dancer's Studio.”

“I can’t say enough about the wonderful experience we have had at The New York Dancer’s Studio.  Ms. Nelson and her staff are a professional, talented, caring group of instructors.  Their focus on technique develops the skills of both new and experienced dancers alike.  My daughter is thrilled to go to class and loves the time she spends in the studio.  We have seen incredible growth in her dance ability and we know that growth will continue thanks to the skill and dedication of these wonderful teachers.  We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!”

“The NY Dancers Studio is a wonderful place for kids of all ages to learn and grow through dance. The teachers and staff are top notch! My daughter has enjoyed taking classes for 5 years. The recitals are always entertaining, well choreographed and lots of fun.”

“My daughter had started dance classes in Manhattan for a couple of years before our family moved to Long Island in 2007.  I had hoped to find something comparable to the quality of instruction and dance atmosphere she received in our old neighborhood.  Of the three dance programs I initially enrolled her in, New York Dancers Studio brought the best fit for her growth as a performer.  My daughter's interests in the multiple dance classes offered are a testament to how challenged she wants to be by her teachers, while still having fun at NYDS.  The faculty, curriculum, and professional and personal attention to my daughter (and now her younger sister) remain at high, quality standards expected of a dance program.  This is widely evident at the yearly recitals held in June, which we always look forward to.  Additionally, we have attended performances by Miss Stacie's Dance Theatre Company and, more recently, hosted a children's birthday party at the studio.  NYDS has provided an enriching source of dance culture for both of my daughters and we are fortunate to be associated with a wonderful program for the past four years.”

“Our daughter Angelina has been dancing at New York Dancer's Studio since she was three. Angelina, now ten is still dancing.  The credit to her love of dance is the amazing teachers she has had throughout the years! Each year builds upon the previous and challenges her.  There has never been a harsh word spoken to her. The staff is always kind, caring and respectful.  We love to watch the beautiful graceful dancer that has come from this studio. Many more years of dance! Thank you.”
