I've loved my experience with Troy Dance Factory. TDF offers a wide variety of classes for all ages and skill levels--currently available via Zoom due to COVID. My experience with Nadine in Pure Beginner Ballet, Pure Beginner Tap and Advanced Beginner Tap has been unmatched. Nadine's instruction is intentional and thorough. She pays detailed attention to technique, explains movement/steps clearly, comes up with imaginative lessons and is dedicated to helping students grow. TDF is truly a gem! Highly recommend.

TDF is awesome! I grew up dancing (now in my late 20's), and as a newbie to the Albany area, I was looking for a studio that had adult classes so I tried Troy Dance Factory. That was about a year or so ago, and I am so glad I found TDF! It's exactly what I was looking for. There is a range of classes available and killer choreo. Try it! Nadine is great!

TDF is the best studio in the Capital Region, and it is a rare gem as far as dance studios go. It is very hard to find season-long and year-long dance sessions as an adult. TDF requires you to commit to months of attending classes, which means you will grow as a person and as a team when you go to class. For year-long classes, they hold an annual "showcase" (recital) which allows all dancers--adults and children--to show off what they've learned. The teachers are very talented dancers who incorporate research and theory into their classes, so you're getting a full dance education here; not just a workout. TDF is committed to your growth as a dancer, and they will work with you to ensure that you improve no matter what level you start at. They have a wide range of classes, from hip hop to ballet fusion to parkour, and they are always expanding their offerings. Their added bonuses--flashmobs, weekend video-instructed classes, the annual Choreographer's Ball--are great ways to engage their members and build a sense of community. Whether you're just trying out something new or looking to make dance a serious part of your life, look no further. You've come to the right place.

I've been happy to call TDF my dance home for over two years. I've taken a few different classes and every one has been a great experience. The instructors are passionate, and true artists when it comes to their creative teaching styles and choreography, and my fellow students have been nothing but generous and supportive. I'm so happy to be a part of such a unique school and community.
