On Sunday, the City section ran a story about The Park Slope Dance Studio, which has been in existence for 25 years. Owner Jennifer Kliegel, was told by her landlords that she has to move out by summer. Kliegel, who is truly a force of nature, has taught thousands of Park Slope children, as well as adults. She sent out a letter a few weeks ago to many Park Slopers explaining the situation.
The story in the City Section should be a great shout out — and will possibly help her find an appropriate space.
Teen Spirit took gymnastics there years ago with Marian Fontana. I can still see him at the recital in a red polo shirt and shorts on the stage at the theater at Brooklyn College.
Later, OSFO took Tots-on-the-Go with Marian, where we discovered that she was quite coordinated when it came to somersaults and cartwheels.
For her 2nd, 3rd and 4th birthday, OSFO had Marian’s famed Tots-on-the-Go birthday parties. For me, it’s a special place because it’s the site of my weekly writer’s group. Read the article here.
I saw Jennifer a couple weeks ago and the new studio is at 630 Sackett Street between 3rd & 4th Avenues. More info can be found at the website. http://www.thedancestudiops.com/
Any luck on the details of the new studio?
Thanks

She has found a new studio space. It’s closer to fourth Avenue now on Sackett (I THINK). I will post more information tomorrow. Promise. Louise
Does anyone know if Ms. Kliegel has found a new studio space? I have a girl very interested in dancing.
Thanks
