Central Park Dance

This is a review for the store only not the dance studio.
The store had tons of stuff, mostly for children. prices were ok. Sales person however was really rude. Seems like a bad choice for a studio that caters to children.

The staff was completely unhelpful.

My daughter takes a toddler dance class at Central Park Dance. We really enjoy the class and the studios make-​up policy makes life so much easier when dealing with a toddler who may be sick, or spontaneously take a nap :) They really understand the younger crowd at this studio. The teachers are great with the littles ones and we look forward to our class every week!

CPD offers a variety of dance lessons/​classes for children and adults. My kids have been taking ballet there for the past few years, and I like the place. The teachers have a lot of experience in dance. One thing I like is that the recitals are optional (at least for ballet) and there are extra sessions that focus on the recital. So you pay extra, but you also get extra sessions. In other schools, recital is mandatory and the later classes in the spring are focused only on the recital number. So the kids would not learn new dance steps, only the dance routine. Sometimes, they would even watch other classes practice their routine, in their class time! So they’d just be sitting on the floor watching! (that was at Studio B). If you miss a lesson, you can make it up with any class you choose, which is nice. Prices are reasonable, in line with other schools, and you save a lot if you don’t do the recital, because then you don’t have to buy costume, tickets, DVD, etc. There is also ample seating area where parents can wait, and a shop to buy shoes, leotards, snacks.
