Lydia's School of Dance/Bellru Dance Co 1000 Richmond Terrace, Staten Island, NY 10301

"I began attending Lydia's School of Dance in 1989. I consider myself lucky to have had the opportunity to learn dance from Lydia and to have had the opportunity to dance with her. Lydia's artistic talent is endless, skilled in all expressions and forms of dance. Even though Ive received instruction from other dance teachers I continue to attend Lydia's. There's just always been something about the instruction there that brings out the passion of dance in me. Lydia's has a way of making each individual feel like a star!"

"Lydias School of Dance has been a great dance school for our daughter for the last 11 years. There is a great family atmosphere and yet there is a strong sense of discipline as is necessary when striving to achieve a goal while working in groups. Discipline is also a major aspect of learning ballet. The dance shool has been like a home away from home for our daughter and we feel that all of the teachers have her best interests at heart, especially Lydia. Needless to say that I highly recommend Lydias School of Dance."

"Hi! I have been a student at Lydia's School of Dance for 11 (going on 12) years. I have been dancing at the school since I was 3 and going there has really taught me a lot about teamwork, time management, creativity and many other things. Ms. Lydia is a patient, caring teacher and role model who really cares about you inside and outside of class. To me dance is an outlet for your emotions, a fun way to spend your time during the week, a way of keeping healthy and a great learning opportunity so I would definitely recommend pursuing dance at Lydia's School of Dance."

"We absolutely love Lydia's!!!!! Very patient and wonderful teachers, beautiful recitals and creative classes...also awesome adult classes including Latin. We've been with them for three years now and Lydia's is like family to us."

"Lydia does such a good job with the kids. She even offers special needs classes occasionally. My daughter started dance with her this year and I've been very happy with her classes and everything she has learned. My boys will also start dancing this fall. I hope they attend for many years. We won't be able to do the summer program due to travel but I'm looking forward to enrolling all three kids in the fall."
