"Went to a salsa social here last night and what an amazing experience!! Generous hard wood sprung dance floor, super high ceilings so it didn't feel too hot on the dance floor. Music wasn't too loud. Loretta is a world class salsa and bachata dancer and her dance lessons are excellent. We're lucky to have salsa lessons of this caliber in New Jersey."

"My daughter started with Miss Julie last year after parting from the school she attended on very traumatic terms. Miss Julie is not just amazing at the technique portion of her work, she’s compassionate and cultivates so much in the work with her students. My daughter feels so supported in her artistic goals and after every class on the car ride home raves about her classes. My one regret is that we didn’t change studios sooner. We are very grateful for Miss Julie and her sharing her knowledge and years as a professional dancer. You will not find an environment with this level of nurturing and professionalism."

"Julie is truly a special teacher. Not only is her own ability phenomenal after years of dancing professionally but her teaching ability to connect with students is one that is rare to find. Julie has an innate sense that allows her understand each student and how they work and what ways are best to get them to understand not only ballet but themselves. She is gentle yet thorough in her approach and works tirelessly with each student giving so much of herself in the process as she loves to see her students grow and succeed. She is a teacher that encourages her students and supports their growth in whatever direction they want to go when it comes to dance - be it professional or otherwise. I have learned so much from Julie over the years and have been so lucky to have had her teach and mentor me as she has done and continues to do with so many others. I cannot recommend Julie enough to anyone wanting to dance at any level. The process will be enjoyable yet challenging and the environment in which you will dance will always be inspiring, welcoming and warm."

"I am truly blessed to have grown up at Ballet Technique, a place I very much consider a second home. Julie Caprio shapes her students to be multi-dimensional dancers - masters of technique, historians of the craft, and artists of emotion. But more than that, her care extends to the whole of the individual, and as such she has certainly made an impact on the person I am today; for that I am forever grateful. The atmosphere at Ballet Technique is one that radiates inclusivity, encouragement, and kindness, welcoming anyone with a desire to move their body to music. This does not come at the expense of quality or professionalism, as Julie Caprio's impressive credentials and aptitude for teaching healthily push the dancer to new heights. For any aspiring ballet dancer, the connections and professional opportunities that come with training under Julie Caprio are immense and provide the student with networks and exposure to help develop their career. Ballet Technique has produced many accredited dancers in the industry, some of whom you can see in photographs hanging on the studio walls! Whether you are looking to dance with an established ballet company or simply want to take class, I wholeheartedly recommend Ballet Technique. Once you visit, you are welcomed into a family whose doors (and hearts) are always open."

"I have danced here for over 20 years now. It is such a kind, nurturing environment like no other dance studio. This studio is a blessing to my life. If you have children who want to dance, send them here! If you’re an adult and you want to dance, go! Julie Caprio is a wonderful mentor. I was accepted to American Ballet Theaters Summer intensive while training with Julie. Many of her dancers continue their career professionally. She creates beautiful dancers, artists."
