What families & students say
“I mostly take Beginner Ballet with Amy Novinski who is probably one of the best Ballet instructors that you can find in the Philadelphia right now.”
“As an instructor, she can be tough, but also engaging and encouraging.”
“The talent of these young performers along with superb choreography, music, and costumes makes for a very entertaining performance!”
“I am surprised how little attention is paid to the fact that BalletX has become the leading modern dance company in the US, with well established global reputation and appeal.”
From the reviews
If you're interested in taking dance classes, BalletX is the place to go. I'm relatively new to dancing (1.5 years), but I've taken a lot of classes at different studios around the city and there I don't think there are many places that can compete with their wonderful / friendly staff and incredible instructors.
Most of the reviews treat this institution as just another good urban dance studio, serving all ages. It is worth mentioning, of course. But they are missing the main point.
Last night's show at the Mann was absolutely STUNNING..The fact that it rained made it even more beautiful and surreal. The dancers weren't dancing, they were telling a story. I don't know anyone who dance or did the choreography or set design but I am proud of them all.
We take son 2yr old son here on Sat mornings. He loves it. The woman who teaches the class has such amazing energy. She is wonderful.
Your first ballet class at BalletX
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
