New Jersey, a tiny yet tremendous state, nestled between the sparkling skyscrapers of New York and the iconic Liberty Bell of Philadelphia, is a place teeming with energy, enthusiasm, and...elves? Yes, you heard me right. Not your ordinary elves, mind you, but B-Ball Elves, tiny trickster creatures with a penchant for...you guessed it...Basketball! Now, hold on to your basketball caps, kids, because these NJ B-Ball Elves are as real as the Garden State Parkway traffic on a Friday evening. They’re often sighted in the basketball courts across the state, dribbling invisible balls, attempting slam dunks, and perfecting their 3-pointer shots. They love watching the kids of New Jersey play basketball. These kids, who spend hours in the courts, shooting hoops, practicing lay-ups, and mastering the art of the perfect pass, are known throughout the land for their spirit of determination and camaraderie. Their laughter fills the courts as they dodge and dash, their sneakers screeching on the glossy wood floors. The B-Ball Elves from New Jersey have a favorite pastime: magically enhancing the basketball skills of these young hoopsters. With a sprinkle of elf dust, a child who previously could barely manage a layup, suddenly discovers the ability to make a three-pointer. A novice at dribbling finds herself zipping past opponents with the ball glued to her fingertips. So, if you're a basketball-loving kid in New Jersey, don't be surprised if you suddenly find yourself playing like a pro. Just remember to thank the B-Ball Elves with a quick wink and a grin! Because in New Jersey, basketball isn't just a game, it's a way of life, made even more magical by our tiny, basketball-loving, invisible friends.

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
