Bridge For Dance

I visited several times to get information about the children’s program. The first two times, there was no one at the desk, and some people who said they taught there were milling around and could not help me. I called and my calls were never returned. Finally, I came in, on a Saturday and there was a woman at the front desk. But she acted extremely confused and could not even find a schedule for the fall which is only a few weeks away! She told me to call on a weekday but I already had and no one ever got back to me. Each time I visited the place there was either nothing going on or maybe a class with only one person in it. How does this studio stay open? I gave up and am taking my daughter to Steps. This place is totally disorganized.

I started taking my daughter here for ballet class a year ago. I liked it because it was close to where we lived, they have Saturday classes that fit into my daughter’s school schedule, it’s significantly cheaper than any place else I’ve found, and most importantly the ‘culture’ of the place is not pretentious or competitive, like a lot of ballet studios are. Even though I’ve moved away from this neighborhood I will continue to go here.

I absolutely recommend The Bridge for Dance. I’m new to the city and have tried three other studios and will definitely be back here. THe vibe is welcoming and the teachers are fun and friendly. THe classes sizes have been small but rigorous and wonderful! I’m so glad I explored the city to find the best studio because I’ve found it here at The Bridge!

I love this studio. It’s got this fun and playful vibe to it plus its a pretty great workout. We stretch a lot and I feel amazing after. I would definitely recommend this!

This studio is a hidden gem on the Upperwest side of Manhattan!
The Bridge for Dance has wonderful dance classes for children and adults in a variety of disciplines, the most professional and wonderful teachers in a more personal neighborhood establishment.
With over ten year in the neighborhood, the Bridge for Dance has established themselves as a unique Upper west side studio, housing professionals in the field for rehearsals, performances, music video shoots, and more!

This place blows! Extremely unprofessional.
I just came back from this studio and I’m pissed. I’ve been to tons of studios throughout New York City. Being from El Barrio, I really wanted to like this place. North of 100^th street, good studios for adult classes are few and far between.
The weather was pretty sweet, so I walked from the east side, across central park, to Broadway. I arrived at the front desk about 5−10mins before class was said to start. The woman at the front desk asked me to wait, I overheard her calling the instructor and ASKING if he was coming in to teach (remember: this is 5mins before the class). He said no, despite all the calendars indicating capoeira class at that time.
I was planning to use a pass, from the yoga passbook. I called the studio several hours beforehand to confirm I could use the pass for this particular class. I was told to come.
I’ve never been to a studio that didn’t advise students of cancellations well in advance. And obviously they’ve never heard of substitutes.
The front desk woman gave me some halfhearted apology, and suggested I come back on Sunday. I won’t be back, not even if the class is free.
