Very warm, friendly staff and teachers that truly care about each of the dancers. My daughter's love of dance grows more and more every year at this studio. After almost 5 years her growth has been immense and thats all thanks to the teachers. It's amazing to see the interest they take in ensuring your child reaches their full potential seems parents them to do more. I definitely recommend this studio and always speak highly of it when asked.

My step daughter is enrolled in classes here and she just loves it. The teacher developed a great rapport with the students and the recital was well planned and executed.

My daughter and stepson danced here for the past three years. I have always witnessed a caring and compassion approach from my children’s ballet teacher, Miss Diana. She always made sure that every child understood the steps, and gave them homework when they didn’t. Miss Diana implemented the “curtsy to the parents” after class rule. It was such a delight to see my kids at the end of class come out into the parents waiting area and perform a small curtsy to all of us! A small performance that made a huge difference. I attribute my kids love of dance to the nurturing environment they had the fortune of experiencing at this studio. Another thing I have come to appreciate even more now is the fact that the studio is designed with windows into each of the studios, welcoming and encouraging parents to view their kids progress and classes. These are what set Van Buskirk apart from all other dance studios. Thank you Miss Diana and to our beloved Miss Nancy, for instilling grace, compassion and a love of dance in all of your students.

My kids attended ballet classes at this studio for a year and every time I brought them it was nothing but stress. The instructiors never greet you (neither students nor adult instructors). With two instructors present they could not manage and maintain a friendly atmosphere: there was quite a big girl chasing and bulling younger/smaller girls and they did absolutely nothing to stop her. My daughter was always crying when it was time for the ballet class and later I realized that it was for a reason. Our new instructor said that my girls do not know the basic ballet poses and moves and I beleive I know why: VB Sudio instructors showed the new move only once and never asked kids to repeat it correctly if they did poor job. This studio was a walking distance from my home but I had to look for other place where parents are welcomed and students are safe and happy learning to dance. Save your kids-avoid the place.

My daughter have been dancing here for 3 years and we love all the staff members and instructors! They are very professional and friendly! We did a solo competition last year and got 1st amongst other studios so when I read a comment/rating here saying that instructors don’t teach the basics and prepare the dancers - it’s just simply not true! Love it here!!

My daughter is going into her 4th year at Van Buskirk. The staff are great with the little ones. The classes for young kids really helped foster a love of dance in her that has grown with her over the years. I really cannot say enough good things about our experiences with the school and all the lovely staff.
