About The Studio

Variations, a dancer’s studio’s innovative program caters to everyone. Erin and John Lopez have brought together talented instructors with diverse backgrounds, all dedicated to the art of dance and movement. We offer an extensive curriculum for all levels and ages - from the beginner to the professional - from the very young, to the young at heart. Variations, a dancer's studio, provides premier dance industry instruction in a friendly but disciplined environment. Not only are we committed to training students for a professional career in dance, but also dedicated to the development of the recreational dancer simply here for the enjoyment and love of the art form. From the finest classical ballet, to the hippest contemporary movement, dance enhances the lives of all people and is an intergral part in the development of every child. Variations is a place where healthy bodies and healthy attitudes are built.

While we are not a recital or competition based school, our students are offered many performance opportunities. Erin feels it is important to be involved and nurture the community. Variations Junior and Senior dance companies perform annually with the Long Island Dance Consortium, Heckscher Park Summer Arts Festival, Nassau County Fair, Gurwin and Carillon Nursing Homes. We are committed to promoting dance and nurturing the artistic development of our community.

Variations four dance studios are equipped with sprung floors. This flexible flooring is designed to absorb energy, provide resiliency and prevent injuries. Floating on foam blocks, our studios have the proper floors critical to a dancer's safety. Additionally, Variations has a spacious waiting area with Wi-Fi internet access, classroom monitors, and an easy, safe and efficient drop-off area.
