Great list! Please advise if you can add a new dance and fitness studio that just opened in June 2014 in Jackson Heights. EC Squared Studio, 80-20 Roosevelt Avenue Suite 207, provides a space for those looking to get fit, learn to dance or simply get out of the daily routine and take up a fun activity. www.ecsquaredstudio.com
