Judy's School of Dance has been a transformative force in downtown Flushing for nearly 49 years, founded by Judy Walling, who began teaching students from her parents' basement in high school. The studio — housed in a renovated former dentist's office since 2006 — offers tap, ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and tumbling, alongside a real competitive dance team for students ready to take their training to the next level. Judy's is known for its friendly, family atmosphere, teaching not just dance steps, but lessons in dedication, self-confidence, and commitment.
