★★★★★Carrie Beth Capone

My daughter has been taking dance classes at NJSDA for over 8 years. This school focuses on teaching the proper technique of dance while exposing the students to the art of a professional performance. The teachers are very supportive and encouraging. All the teachers really want the best for each student and push each student to reach their fullest potential. They offer corrections as needed and understand each dancers’ abilities. The school is a healthy environment promoting confidence for each student to be their personal best, not only as a dancer but as a person. I highly recommend this school for your child’s dancing education.

I can’t express enough how incredible North Jersey School of Dance Arts is. My two daughters attend this school, and it has been a wonderful experience for them. Not only are they learning to hone in on their dance skills, but they’ve also discovered the sheer joy of dancing. The staff at the school is not only friendly but also highly professional. Their genuine care for each dancer is evident, creating a nurturing environment for learning and growth. Every Saturday, my girls are so excited and look forward to their ballet class, and their enthusiasm spills over into their everyday life as they practice ballet moves wherever they go. The end-of-the-year production on the Centenary stage is nothing short of spectacular. Every choreographed move and every costume reflects the dedication and passion of the dancers and instructors alike. It’s a wonderful display of talent and hard work. I am grateful for the friendships my daughters have formed, the invaluable learning they’ve received, and the pure fun they experience at North Jersey School of Dance Arts. Seeing them so happy and fulfilled warms my heart. This school is not just a place to learn dance; it’s a community that fosters a love for the art, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience my family has had here. Maria Dalton

Anyone who is looking for talented, highly educated and extremely kind teachers for your child to learn from, NJSDA is the place for you! We switched to this school 2 years ago and couldn’t be happier we did. Ashley and Alex truly care about each student in their school. They have a passion for dance and it shows. The “recital” at the end of the year is more like attending a Broadway musical. The dancers all work together to ensure everyone shines throughout the production. Thank you NJSDA for helping our tiny dancer shine bright!

★★★★★Kelly LaVerde

NJSDA is everything I could ask for in a dance school for my daughters. Miss Ashley and Miss Alex (the owners) are simply the best, maintaining a phenomenal balance between having the high standards of an excellent dance school while still being caring/kind. All of their dancers adore them, show them utmost respect, and want to make them proud. The other instructors at the school are also top tier professionals with the same challenging standards and caring demeanor. This attitude is reflected by the dancers, who support each other. The families are great. NJSDA is very different from the stereotypical “dance mom” type of dance school. On top of that, I couldn’t be happier with the quality of their instruction… it is worth every penny. If your dancer is willing to work hard, this school will prepare them to compete with the best of the best.

★★★★★Desiree Toro

My daughter has been attending NJSDA for 3 years and we couldn’t love the school more. The teachers are highly trained professionals who take their passion for dance seriously. I am confident my daughter is learning from the best of the best! They also make it fun and enjoyable which has made my daughter fall in love with dance over the years! Ballet, tap, musical theater and hip hop are our favorite classes. The owners are easy to work with and always answer my emails in a timely manner. Also, the studio looks amazing with its most recent updates! We love NJSDA!
