MYTH: Broadway Dance Studio is only interested in students who want to pursue careers on Broadway.

FACT:  Although our faculty are professionals who have performed on Broadway, in Films and Television, this does not mean we are only interested in students who want to pursue professional careers.  

It means we teach all the classes ourselves as opposed to having young students teaching for us and are adamant that every student learn the basic fundamentals and technique of each discipline they are studying. 

Whether a student wants to pursue a career or not, if you, the parent, chooses to bring your child to dance lessons, wouldn’t you want your child to be taught by experienced professionals who will make sure the student is learning the fundamentals of which you are paying a great deal of money for?  If you were to take your child to a Karate school or piano lessons,  would you want to find that after a year, they haven’t learned the very basics?

Sadly, this is a common occurrence in the dance studio world. An important thing to know is ANYONE can open a dance studio. Even you. There are no credentials needed. So it is essential you know what you are paying for whether your child is serious or just wants to dance for fun.

MYTH: You will become an INSTANT star if you come to Broadway Dance Studio and study with Broadway Stars!

FACT:  It is about “THE PROCESS!”

“THE PROCESS” is what every great dancer, singer, actor and musician who has achieved success has endured from the moment they made the conscious choice to live, eat and breathe that which brings them joy.

“THE PROCESS” is the only way to become the best that you can be and when it is done right, in a way that will truly take you to the top, IT IS A SLOW AND TEDIOUS ONE. 

We live in an age where our children see people their age on television doing all sorts of acrobatic dance tricks and young children emulating Lady Gaga singing their latest MTV hit and and these children and their parents are led to believe they should be doing that NOW!  

Great dancers and great singers who sustained lifetime careers did not suddenly become stars overnight! They worked for many years and many hours with great instructors to build a solid foundation that brought them success and kept them there.

If you meet any great professional performer, just ask them about “THE PROCESS.” They will tell you.

MYTH:  Broadway Dance Studio is too expensive!

FACT:  I can’t tell you how many parents have come to my studio in the past 4 years and told me how much money they have spent at their previous studio. Between the recital costumes, competitions costs, private lessons for solos, the fees are outrageous.    

One parent told me she spent over a thousand dollars for the recital costumes alone. Her child was 8 years old.  Another parent told me between her 3 children she spent over $5,000 for 4 competitions. 

They didn’t tell me what they paid for classes. And the interesting thing was after “years” at their “other studio”, the students did not know what a time step was or the terminology for any of their ballet positions or steps.

Broadway Dance Studio’s tuition may or may not be slightly higher than the average dance studio in our area, but we guarantee you will get what you pay for and there will not be any other exorbitant fees for Recital Costumes. We only attend 2 competitions a year so even if you had 10 children, it wouldn’t cost $5,000. 

I opened Broadway Dance Studio in 2007. Since that time, I have purchased the 8,000 Sq Ft building our studio is in, expanding the facility by adding 2 more larger studios with state of the art Marley Sprung Floors to the 2 studios we already have.  This will allow us to add more classes at more diverse levels to accommodate our students.

Our facility also houses our vast Costume and Wig department which we use for all of our shows. None of our parents are asked to purchase costumes out of a costume book. We do it all for you. 

In addition to Dance Lessons, we offer Musical Theater Classes and Voice lessons and will be adding Piano lessons to our curriculum this fall.

And for your convenience, all of your Dancewear needs can be purchased right there at our Facility. 

Our goal is a simple one......"TO BRING JOY AND THE LOVE OF THE ARTS INTO YOUR CHILD’S WORLD."
