The competition dance schools in Huntington are pretty bad, Schools like Dancing Feet and Platinum Performance have poor facilities, dangerous dance floors, even poorer teachers not to mention high over priced classes. They teach a dance not how to dance. If you are looking for skills try Variations on Spring Road. They have several companies and performance opportunities although do not do recitals and competitions. They have state of the art dance flooring, well trained teachers and a wide range of dance classes at many levels. They also have guest teachers from the top schools and professionals from NYC. If you live in or near Huntington, you are lucky to have a place like that to study. They have had guest teachers from Broadway, Principal dancers from NYC Ballet, Mia Michaels, Savion Glover for tap. The list goes on. If you can’t get to NYC for classes. This is the closest to that experience on all of Long Island.
