The programs they offer
“I had the pleasure of collaborating with Ramya to introduce adult workshops into a space already so well known for its wonderful children’s events.”
“Approximately 10 kids joined and we kept it to all toddlers- the kids had a wonderful time in the bounce house and during the music/dance portion of the party.”

From the reviews
We hosted my son River’s 2nd birthday at Shake It Off in Scarsdale, and I cannot recommend it enough! I was 36 weeks pregnant at the time, so I desperately needed a venue that would take care of everything — and they absolutely delivered.
I signed my 2 year old up for the caregiver and me classes here, one ballet and the other preschool prep. I LOVE IT! Before starting this my daughter had severe anxiety and fear of being around other kids/adults. I struggled taking her out or even being around family.
The breakfast with Santa was simply incredible! I was looking for an event to get into the holiday spirit and this was the right choice. From the food to the crafts and to Santa, himself, everything was amazing. The food was really good and was an amazing add on to the activities that were there.
Wonderful place; my 2 year old daughter is a big fan! As well as my 5 year old son. He loves the art activities. (Slime making, painting, cooking) We've been coming here since it opened between birthdays, holidays activities, dance classes and camps.
Your first ballet class at Shake It Off
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
