Barriskill Dance Theatre School

"Awesome dance, theater and music school! It’s been so fantastic for our 3 kids and whole family!!! Highly recommend!!"

"My daughter has been attending Barriskill for many years now and I just have to say how appreciative I am for this place! From top to bottom, they care about my daughter and give a great dance experience. I also appreciate the recitals and how they do not rush the kids (especially the girls) to grow up too fast and dance/dress like they are 10 years older than they are. Just such a great family environment - I cannot say enough."

"My 5-yr old daughter and I have been looking for the perfect dance school and Barriskill has met every need and expectation we had. We recently went and had a free trial class. The front desk was extremely helpful with any questions I had. The associates next door in the uniform store were also very helpful and full of knowledge that they had no problem sharing with me when asked for suggestions. The teacher was very good at keeping their attention. The other students were very welcoming and when they started to practice for the recital they kept eyes on her and helped her with her poses and placement. I met other parents who were also very welcoming and had nothing but praises about the school. I can't wait for her Summer class to start in July and I've already picked a class for her to start in the Fall as well!"

"Barriskill pretty much has something for everyone. All 3 of my kids have loved their time there, feel valued and well cared for by their teachers, and leave classes in great spirits. The place is bustling with positive energy, and the needs of the students, whether passionate, competitive or merely recreational dancers, are always attended to. Highly recommended!"

"I would not recommend this studio for small dancers. The price is very high for the skill of talent the teachers have. On top of paying $240 a mth for classes, I was charged for costumes, and then was not given ANY free tickets for the recital. The recital was priced at $15 a person. So even though a parent pays every month for classes, and costumes, and registration you cannot attend the show unless you pay. There are 4 people in my home and my daughters shows are scheduled a month apart. So my family would be required to pay $45 twice in 1 month. There is never any real staff on duty to speak with, and my smallest daughter played more in her class than danced. We will not return for sure."
