How to choose a dance studio in New York
Start with a trial class before committing. Most studios offer one -- if they don't, that tells you something. Ask how many years the lead instructor has been teaching, not just performing. Find out whether recitals are mandatory and what the costume and production fees run, because those costs add up fast. Compare monthly tuition against drop-in rates if you're not ready to commit to a semester. Younger kids do best in studios that keep class sizes small.
