Testimonials

"I sign up every year because I love dancing here and enjoy being with my friends"

-- Hip Hop Dancer, Age 11

"I danced and performed a lot growing up and studied ballet at Skidmore College. I think my daughter couldn't be in better hands. Julie and Setsuko are the dynamic duo! Rigorous and classical technique and instruction offered in a fun and collegial atmosphere. We laugh a lot and applaud each other's successes."

-- Holly and Madeline (intermediate /advanced ballet)


"Many of my fondest childhood memories were of being a student at The Dance Studio. When I wanted to introduce my daughter to dance instruction, I came “home” to the studio where I learned both technique and confidence. I’m thrilled to watch my daughter blossom under the creative and imaginative direction of Jennifer. It is a very special treat for me to observe my child’s appreciation for dance and movement being fostered my one of my former teachers. Though the location has changed, the inspirational, nurturing, and child-centered environment is the same."

-- Aliciane Elkins

A note from the Owner/Director:

Welcome to The Dance Studio. We celebrate our 36th year, starting in September 2011 and I am proud to say that this dance school has been home to thousands of Brooklyn children and generations of families. Our students not only learn to dance and tumble, they build great confidence and pride. They know that they are loved at The Dance Studio and that they will always have a home with us. This is a teaching school that gives great personal attention and individual instruction to our students, as well as, the best training. We are committed to our students and expect that same level of commitment in return. There are no grants, endowments, corporate sponsors or donations for operating this school. This community small business continues in Park Slope, because of the students who call The Dance Studio their second home. The Dance Studio of Park Slope is proud to be a part of Brooklyn, this community and your children’s lives! Thank you, Jennifer Kliegel
