Broadway Dance Center can be overwhelming. The lobby is always crowded as are the classes, it's hard to get individual attention or feel like you have room to move in some cases. This is especially bad in the summer, when the place has its summer programs and is overrun with girls on school trips thinking this is the one true place to study. It's a bit odd. On the other hand, the facility is nice and large, they have an informative website, an array of dance styles and levels and good teachers. You just have to be willing to brave the chaos. Also, their free membership card gives a 10% discount at many dance related shops.

I few years ago I was trying to figure out my path as a writer so I took a couple courses at GWW - An intro to screen writing and a sketch writing class. Both had fun, interesting teachers (who no longer teach there) and the classes were a nice size. Not to big, not too small. We had assignments each week and a structured way of getting and giving feedback.
The Workshop seems like a great idea for a new writer or someone who has never studied a particular form before. However if you're thinking you're going to break into the industry through this school, you're going to be disappointed. This is for people who think they might one day want to be professional writers but who aren't 100% sure. But it's a fun way to spend a few hundred dollars and it will help you figure out what kind of writing you want to pursue.

This has to be one of the worst driving schools in the city, stay away from this school. First, the 5-hr class was held in a small dirty room (first alarm bell). Second, I booked my five lessons one month in advance, but I ended up getting only three lessons with three different instructors who were often late, not particularly helpful and who wanted to spend the entire lesson seeing how well I drove (which would not have happened if I'd had the same instructor). They kept trying to re-schedule lessons at the last minute, at impossible times (7am driving lesson anyone?). They did not give me the total number of lessons that I had booked and when I asked for a refund for the lessons I did not get, it took a couple of months, with no apology for the disruption. In short, avoid this school; they are completely useless.

Stepping Out studios is the bomb! They have all kinds of dancing classes for all levels and they even help you find a partner and choreograph dance routines if you want to enter a dance competition. They teach tango, salsa, quick steps, ballroom everything you see on Dancing with the Stars. The classes are fairly priced and you get a discount if you refer someone.

Beautiful facility on the upper east side with inner courtyard. Helpful and concerned teachers. Small student body. Strong alumni association.

I studied here for years. Of course, only Graham technique is taught, but the dance training is fantastic, and utilizes the body in a way that no other technique really does. That said, as much as it will make you strong, it's also harder on the body than many types of modern dance, and so should be considered carefully based on your strengths, goals and abilities. Children cannot train here until they are at least 11 -- this speaks both to a need for physical development as well as the emotional content of Graham's work. The school and technique has really struggled since Graham's death, but her choreography and technique is a unique part of American cultural history and must be preserved. Consider taking a class here.
