The best studios to rent in Lower Manhattan

Abby Lee Miller has many iconic (sometimes unhinged) one-liners that she yells at her students on "Dance Moms." One of the most notorious is "save your tears for the pillow," something you won't have to worry about at your next event because you will be at one of these dance studios in Lower Manhattan.


Maddie Ziegler and Jojo Siwa faced a lot of ridicule if they had a sickled foot instead of a pointed toe, and their egos got ripped to shreds if they forgot a part of their solo at a competition. However, this intense scrutiny won't be in the building when you rent one of these studios – just don’t invite Abby Lee.
