Martinez Dance Studio

Cathy's Dance Studio was founded in 1956 by Miss Cathy Dooley and has carried out one tradition for over the past 53 years - a mission of sharing the art of dance with children of all ages and adding the excitement of cutting edge dance techniques. <br> Miss Cathy had a vision of bringing quality dance instruction at affordable prices to every student who had the desire to dance. And she shared that vision with the people of Astoria for over 26 years. <br> Today, Miss Michelle continues Cathy's Dance Studio's mission by fostering the arts in our community and attracting dancers from all of New York City's five boroughs, as well as Long Island, upstate New York, and New Jersey. <br> Whether it's traditional tap or pointe ballet, cutting edge jazz or hoofer-style tap, lyrical, rhythm tap, acrobatics, or modern ballet, Cathy's Dance Studio's talented and energetic teaching staff delivers the best instruction money can buy!

Just finishing up its second year in business, this dance studio creates an environment where students discover their own strength through movement.

“Gotta Dance” Studio opened its doors on September 15, 2001. Owner, Miss Terri as she is known by her students, starting dancing at the age of 5 and always dreamed, that one day, she would open her own studio. She continued taking dance classes and was also a member of a local community theatre group for many years. There she was able to learn and develop not only her love of dance, but also her love for music, singing and acting. The performing arts has always been a big part of Miss Terri's life. <br> Mr. Ron & Miss Terri decided the time had come for them to fulfill the life long “Dream” and together they started searching for the perfect place. Their hope was to find a small studio where students could come and learn to love dance & music while having fun in a friendly and safe environment. Today, they are very proud of their accomplishments and are extremely grateful to all the wonderful families who have touched their lives. Their goal is to continue with this very gratifying work and in the process make “Gotta Dance” Studio, for all the families who are a part of it, a place that will be remembered and remain forever close to their hearts!

When winter settles in and the city gets quiet, Jorday's Dance Studio becomes a warm creative hub where movement and passion take center stage. The studio's founder balances an intensive medical trajectory—currently wrapping up graduate work in pre-med studies while interning in cardiology at Parkway Hospital—with genuine commitment to building a dance community. Medical school applications to top programs are in motion, with plans to specialize in neonatal care and eventually cardiovascular surgery. What makes the studio special is how Jorday channels that same precision and discipline from her healthcare path into creating an engaging space for dancers. The studio thrives during these colder months when people seek indoor spaces to train and connect, offering continuity whether your goals are recreational or serious. It's the kind of place where you sense the instructor's intensity and dedication ripple through every class.
