Rise Dance Studios

Enrolled my 4 year old daughter here in September and she loves it. She constantly tells and shows me what she did in dance class so I know she really enjoys it. Only reason they don't get 5 stars is that the main instructor for her 10am class constantly comes in 5-10 minutes late. The assistant is always there early prepping for class but we are paying good money for a specific service (and the teachers are being paid to perform that service), so I would expect the teacher to be there on time. Other than that, its great.

There is 1 word that describes Rise Dance Studio " DEDICATION" , Valerie and her staff are totally dedicated to making each and every student at rise have fun and love the art of Dance. My son has been dancing with Rise for 6 years, she has become more than a dance teacher/business owner, she is Family!! In the very beginning there were some issues with certain dance instructors, but Valerie always took the students best interest in hand and made the proper choices to make her dancing school excel. If you want your child to have fun and have a great learning experience Rise Dance Studio is the place to be!!!

Amazing is what comes to mind. They welcomed my teenaged daughter with open arms when we moved to Staten Island and knew no one. "The Studio" became her second home and family. They helped instill a sense of dedication and commitment and stayed by her side to help her make the dance team at UAlbany. This studio is more then a dance school. These teachers care about the whole child Not just the competition.

My daughter started at Rise Dance Studio when she was 5 years old. She has been there for 5 years now and loves every minute of it. She has had the best teachers. They are truly devoted to their students. The people there are not just teachers and classmates to her, they are her 2nd family. I have been able to watch my daughter grow into a wonderful dancer. The teachers teach the students about dedication, respect, and teamwork! I never felt that she was ignored or shown favoritism. This school is about the children. My daughter is in company and although they do work harder then a recreational class, she never feels stressed or overwhelmed. The teachers always encourages and never discourages.
