Downtown Dance Factory — Local services in New York

My kids have danced at DDF for the past 8 years and it has become our second home. They started taking classes there at the age of 3. The joy the kids experienced in their mini classes was so fun to see! My son even learned to break dance and still continues to bust out his DDF breakdancing moves. I remember my daughter and son's first dance recital. I was blown away by all the talent I saw on stage. It amazes me how they are able to train the most talented and successful students.

Over the years, my daughter has flourished as a dancer and recently joined their company. From recitals to conventions, the teamwork and comradery truly stands out.

The owners and staff are always hands on with each child’s experience. We are so grateful and fortunate to be a part of this creative and gifted community. The studio is a positive environment where children have the opportunity to learn, grow and flourish. Because of this, my kids have a lifelong love of dance.

If you are looking for a dance studio with a big heart, offer a wide variety of classes and have the most supportive team, then DDF is...

My daughter wanted a "Hip Hop" Dance Party for her Birthday. I found Downtown Dance Factory and read about their company, the program offered, including the parties they provided and read some reviews. Going based on that I decided to book her 9th Birthday party there and she LOVED it. I loved how communicative the staff was prior to the day of her party. How informative and clear they were on the process and how the day would go. It is obvious they care about who they are serving --- a very tightly run ship. More importantly, on the day of her party they took care of everything, preparations, directing the parents and children where to go and what to do. The children had a fantastic time and my daughter wants her next birthday party there again. The instructors were awesome and all the children, including the boys enjoyed and it was obvious. I would highly recommend this place for a birthday party! I'm sure the classes must be just a great. Thanks again for making daughter's 9th Birthday party such a memorable one for...

My daughter did a few weeks of summer camp last year with DDF and it was such a wonderful experience. It was her first camp experience and Colette was so welcoming when she arrived and helped show her around the studio. The teachers are all fabulous! My daughter especially loved Meghan, but they are truly all great! At the end of each week, they put on a surprisingly professional show at the studio for parents to watch, and it is so much fun! Each class does a few dances each, which is truly impressive given how quickly they learn them. This summer, my daughter requested to do even more weeks at DDF. I grew up dancing and know for a fact that you can’t get better than this! Oh and India (the daughter of one of the owner’s) is a true gem. She was one of my daughter’s teachers at her 3rd birthday party at DDF and my daughter still remembers her. Love this studio so much! All they need now is a weekend class...
