One of the best kept secrets in NYC, if you are looking for a place to learn ballet, tap or basic flexibility training, you can't get any better than this welcoming space. Unless you are fourteen and training at ABT or such, you won't find many places that train you properly for dance. You are either already well-trained and expected to keep up at a rapid (injury prone) rate or you are thrown in the adult beginner classes, which let's face it, are really pretty dismal and IMO a way to make money so that they can pay name teachers to train the aforementioned, well-trained, professional dancers. Many won't be able to see the elegant simplicity of the classes or the space at WSD and that's fine with me; more space for those that do see the special rarity of a thorough ballet class (including floor) ........and can appreciate it.
