You can take classes at Steps (http://www.stepsnyc.com/) and Broadway Dance Center (http://www.bwydance.com/). For dance shoes, go to the Capezio store (http://www.capeziodance.com/), and if you get a chance, go see ABT(www.abt.org) or New York City Ballet (www.nycballet.com)perform. They are amazing!

I also found classes available to the public at the Alvin Ailey School:

Also, I%26#39;m not sure when you%26#39;re coming, but the Joyce Theater has some amazing shows coming up, including Savion Glover and Pilobolus.

If you are coming this summer, check out the Lincoln Center website (lincolncenter.org). There is a nightly event called Midsummer Night Swing where you can dance in the plaza to a different band each evening. It%26#39;s great fun!

You don%26#39;t have to pay to enter the main area - the music carries throughout the entire plaza (I can usually hear it from my apartment a few blocks away) and you will see plenty of people dancing throughout the plaza.

they sell autographed toe shoes from principal dancers at Lincoln Center.

Does a Capezio store interest you? I%26#39;m not sure if they%26#39;re just here, or all over, or even considered a must do for dancers.

There%26#39;s also a store in my neighborhood - somethingTone on 7th between 23rd and 24th for dance shoes. on the 2nd floor - you can see it from the street. Famous place I pass all the time, but cant remember the name!

you might want to search on the ny area at citysearch.com and see what comes up

I STRONGLY recommend seeing ';A Chorus Line';. It is a fabulous show, all about dancers.

One more thing - if you do see a B%26#39;way show with lots of dancing, I%26#39;d reco getting front center mezzanine seats. You%26#39;ll get a fantastic view of the choreography, yet you%26#39;ll still be close enough to hear the shoes squeak.

*i%26#39;ve read all about those dance studios in dance mag. (such as dance spirit)... and they seem fab! is there a specific teacher anyone would recommend?

*%26amp;%26amp; there r capezio stores where i live... but i doubt that it is anything like the one in nyc!! the shopping doesn%26#39;t get any better than nyc... lol

*i%26#39;ve heard great reviews so far for acl... i love the story (because it is soooo relateable), but wasn%26#39;t a major fan of the movie... so i%26#39;ll def. look into getting tix for it. :) is there a website any of you know about to get discount tixs to b%26#39;way shows?? i know that there r a few of those 1/2 price txts places that have amazing deals... but u can%26#39;t get them till the day of which is a little bit of a bummer. random but i must say i used their service once and saw finale night of sweet charity %26amp;%26amp; between getting a great deal on the tix and seeing a superb show it was certainly a night to remember. ;)

well thanks again all for all your help!!!
