If you can answer yes any or all of the questions, Across the Floor is the place for you and your child.

(1)  Is proper training important to you at a young age?  Our 1st Position Program is a dance and gymnastics program for children ages 3-6.  At Across the Floor, we believe that the first classroom experience is an important one since it is the foundation for all learning.   In this age group, attention span is critical to the learning process.  In order for these young students to be taught anything, they must first be taught how to pay attention.  Across the Floor is the only studio in the area that does not offer combo classes. Our mission is for students to achieve higher learning and quicker advancement.  We don’t believe in “combo classes” like ballet-tumble or ballet-tap. As consumers, parents think they are getting a “2 for 1” deal or some sort of bargain when they sign their child up for a combo class.

(2)  Does your current dance studio seem to focus all of its attention on the competitive dancers?  Here at ATF we try to strike a balance between offering a competitive program as well as offering a strong recreational program.  We are proud that here at ATF our recreational and competitive dancers dance together allowing for growth and flexibility in both programs.  We created a dance company as an outlet for those dancers that desire it.

(3)  Do you want your children to be taught by amazing instructors?    With instructors that have treaded the stages with Michael Jackson, Missy Elliott, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys, Ricky Martin, Whitney Houston and the Knicks City Dancers, this team of solid dance instructors brings the best of performing arts to the towns of Woodbridge and New Providence, NJ. Students learn and accelerate in an exciting program based on focusing on one discipline of dance at a time. Across the Floor prides itself on our curriculum for 3-6 year olds entitled the “1st Position Program”.  And alsobwelcomes cheerleaders to their award-winning tumbling program. Owners Cheryl and Sara are professionally trained and look forward to another successful year with the best of NJ dancers.

(4)  Is Across the Floor reputable?  Our accomplishments include being recognized and commended by Governor Jon Corzine in a State Proclamation for continued contributions to the community and for our efforts to enhance personal growth and development through dance and gymnastics.  Across the Floor has also been featured in “Spotlight on New Jersey - Spotlighting the Best Businesses and Professionals in the Area.” 

(5)  Does Across the Floor have a "Mission Statement"?  At Across the Floor, it is not just about creating an excellent dancer, it is about creating a well rounded and well trained individual - ready for whatever and wherever life may take you.  We strive to provide students of all ages a positive and enjoyable environment that allows each student to excel at their own pace through dance and gymnastics.  We love what we do and we want to share our passion with everyone. Over the years we have trained thousands of  dancers, many who have gone on to pursue degrees in dance, choosing to make dance their career and many who just enjoyed their time growing up dancing. 

(6)  Is Customer Service important to you as a parent?  At Across the Floor, we know that as a parent you have many things going on at once.  We like to make it easy to keep you informed about what is happening at Across the Floor.  We have administrative desk staff available to you during class times, so if you have a question, we are here to answer it for you.  We also have email which is usually responded to in the same day if that is more convenient.
