Stepping Out Studios

George Ciao is an unprofessional scam artist. This place ruined my daughters birthday party George Ciao told my husband as soon as he stepped into the studio we booked to switch rooms after we have written confirmation of the studio we paid for. We showed up at 5pm for my one yr olds first birthday party. My husband was approached by the owner who told him to switch rooms or get out. I had to flip out. This animal spoke to us like dogs, had his hands in my face. Caused my party to start 2 hrs late! My party was ruined I was too distraught to take pictures of my babies first party with family and friends. Emotionally scarred. Scam artists!!!!! We were treated and spoken to like animals. Told to "get out and take your money back, never have a party here again!" Awfully ran business with the most unprofessional staff I have ever been around ever! Beware!!!!!! STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! Broadway Dance Center or Steps is the way to go. They give a bad name to dance studios. AWFUL!!! Our whole day was thrown off. I don't have one picture of my baby after I was treated like nothing, yelled at and told to leave. My daughter threw a fit after all of the commotion. I was thrown off the whole evening. Ruined!!!! After I flipped on this little man that was hand talking and speaking to me unprofessionally we were told "ok stay in the studio". That was around 6:30pm. Our party was supposed to be from 5-8. My family saw how distraught I was and they setup the room for me. The rest of the night was a blur not one picture of my daughter because it was all ruined!!!!! Family was showing up with gifts and food was on its way it was too chaotic to cancel. We drove there from NJ, family from NYC and upstate. We were told too many times by this little man to "take your money back and leave".

BEWARE!!!!! An employee told us "this happens all the time". Do you want to host an event where you are coerced to leave after you have booked and received confirm? My husband double checked the monday before our saturday party and received an email confirm all was well. An "Anita" person whom my husband booked with was there. She wouldn't even come out!!!

Please take my review serious. This is not spam! Nightmare that I cannot redo. They are nasty and unprofessional. The front desk people gave me dirty snobbish looks as if I did something wrong. The place was empty. Most dance schools are crowded on saturdays, I know because I used to dance. Please listen people, do not host anything here. You will book one room and then show up and be forced or bullied into using a room you did not pay for. We did not move that was not going to happen. The little rude man disappeared the rest of the night. The staff had the nerve around 8:15pm to start walking back and forth past the room we were in. The little man told us stay however long after my flip out. That did not mean 15 mins extra when my party was derailed 2 hrs!!!! I had to put this old woman dressed in young girl clothes in her place because she thought she was going to force us out of the room.
