Great South Bay Dance Center LLC

Great South Bay Dance Center in Amityville, New York describes itself as offering diverse, curriculum-based dance in a deliberately non-competitive atmosphere, serving children, teens and adults across Long Island. Its syllabus spans classical ballet and pointe, modern dance rooted in Graham and Horton technique, jazz, tap covering both Broadway and contemporary rhythm styles, hip hop, acrobatics, Irish dance including reels and jigs and Ceili basics, and musical theatre. Early-years provision includes parent-and-child introductory classes, creative movement, combined ballet and tap for young children, and Dino Dudes, a boys' class for ages 3 to 5. A Special Ballet class is dedicated to dancers with special needs. Rather than a competition team, the studio fields age-banded Performance Ensembles for ages 6-8, 9-12 and 13-18 that perform at local events. Summer brings the ChoreoKids and Dancers At Work choreography workshops, dance camp and beach-based programming, and the center also runs adult dance and yoga, a library outreach program, classes at St. Martin of Tours School, birthday parties and a spring dance concert. Private half-hour and one-hour lessons are available.
