I have been dancing at Studio 19 for 12 years and with the owner for 13 years. I have experienced nothing but love and accomplishments. We are a family at Studio 19 and I wouldnt want it any other way. My team and I have grown as dancers and people and we could not thank our teachers enough for that. We are continuously given opportunities like traveling out of NY State, dancing with professionals from Broadway, SYTYCD, Dancing with the Stars, Shaping Sound, etc., auditioning for life-changing scholarships, guest dancers coming in the studio for master classes and so much more. After each recital weekend and competition i am overwhelmed with texts from friends and family who came to watch wanting information on how to join our team. All year we are inspired to work our hardest and are pushed to be our best. At the same time we have team sleepovers, cookouts, parties, water balloon fights with our teachers. I appreciate everything that I have taken away from dancing at this studio. The tough love, the audition prep, the knowledge on how to go on to the professional world as a dancer. Being at the studio for so long, I have seen many people come and go, as it is normal, but i have also seen many people graduate and go on and do things like work as a dancer in Disney, dance in professional shows or work in LA as a dancer but always make sure to come back in time to watch recital or competition and tell us how much they miss dancing with our studio. I plan to do the same when I graduate but I wouldnt be able to without the support and education i gain from my teachers at Studio 19. Almost everyone who has gone to this studio for multiple years can agree that there is an endless supply of love, support, and family at Studio 19 eventhough there are many stressful, emotional moments that everyone has which is completely normal for a dance studio. The owners and teachers at the studio do everything they can to make you the best dancer you can be but also consol you with life. If I were to be going through something horrible I would go to one of my dance teachers for help. They work so hard to run the studio along with families of their own while getting paid very little. They participate at dance conventions, judge at dance competitions and dance in their own companies as well. I look up to these people and refer to them as my second moms. They are the most inspiring people in my life. I recommend Studio 19 because of the compassion, love and happiness displayed as well as the people that I have met that have become my best friends and the opportunities i wouldnt be able to get anywhere else. Studio 19 has shaped who I am today, as a 15 year old,and will continue to impact my life even after graduation. I would never want to go anywhere else.

My daughter has been dancing at Studio 19 for 8 years and my son has been dancing there for 4 years. In that time, the faculty, students, and parents have become our extended family. I have been impressed by their dance training which has resulted in numerous awards and accolades at competitions and conventions. However, even more impressive, is the life training that they receive. The faculty at Studio 19 teach their students to be good citizens, to give back to the community, to have compassion for others, and to be a good friend. Over the last 8 years, our studio family has dealt with cancer diagnosis and treatment, a terminally ill father, the sudden death of another father, bullying at school, suicide of a classmate at school, divorce, sexual harassment, and all the other drama that comes along with the teenage years. Through all of this, the teachers, students, and parents have supported each other in every way imaginable...Teachers organizing fundraisers and benefit performances, parents organizing carpools or meal schedules for families that are struggling, students coming together to comfort each other when someone is going through a hard time, Erin and Miranda hosting cookouts and sleepovers when they see that the students need a little pick-me-up. Erin and Miranda run more than just a dance studio. They provide a safe space for students and friends to express through dance, the joy, sadness, love, and pain that they hold inside. They are dance teachers, role models, counselors, and friends to each and every child that walks through the studio doors. They give their hearts and souls to their students and teach them that that is the way to treat others; to give of yourself to make the lives of those around you better in any way you can. My family has found a home with Studio 19 and we couldnt be happier.

My daughter has been dancing at this studio for the past 7 years, and year over year I am amazed by her growth. She has a passion for dance (which she wants to make her career) that has been fostered by the faculty and the overall family environment we have come to know there. They have instilled in her a competitive spirit without making her feel that she needs to be "the best", just aiming to be "her best". This season alone she has won several overalls, and several scholarships. One award allows her to dance all season at a convention for free and assist with well known choreographers, while another covers a 4 day convention at a nationals where she can audition to assist as well, and several which allow a discount for a week long master class this summer. They are also an amazing support for us personally and have become our extended family, not just the faculty but the families that attend the studio as well. While we have been dealing with personal crisis (my husband, her father is terminally ill) they have helped her use dance as her outlet and voice when the words escape her, and she has found people there she is comfortable speaking to about difficult things. I have been to other studios where parents dont talk to each other and the teachers barely speak to parents, but since we have walked into the studio we have felt welcome. I am so glad we decided to come here so long ago, it has been a gift. I have and would continue to recommend them to friends and family looking for a place for their dancer(s) to grow.

My daughter has been going to Studio 19 Dance Company for the past couple years. She absolutely loves it! Ive seen a big growth in confidence and ability in such a short time, not to mention her love for dance and the studio itself. To say the teachers care about the students and like what they do is an understatement. They are the reason so many students keep coming back year after year. They are incredibly dedicated to each and every one of these kids. Their passion for what they do is obvious and they absolutely love and adore the students here. Its a family and you are treated as such, accepted and encouraged. Whether youve just started dancing there, or youre a graduating senior just finishing your last performance! Its not just about the competitions, conventions and performances (although the talent runs deep here), but its about being together, celebrating life events, birthdays, Halloween and Christmas parties, special food days, spirit weeks and involvement with the community. I could go on, but for me the reason I keep bringing my daughter back is the look on her face when she arrives at the studio for class. Its the people who build her up and make her feel loved and supported.
