From the reviews
Delaware Valley Dance Academy has been nothing less than remarkable as my daughter enters her 11th year dancing at DVDA. Her passion, excitement and love for dance is stronger than ever. The director and teachers are kind and passionate, going above and beyond creating a true dance family.
My daughter danced at DVDA for 15 years. She started when she was 3 years old and graduated in 2023. The teachers at DVDA are top notch. The technique taught in all areas of dance is professional. She spent most of her time at the studio they became family. She comes back on breaks as often as she can to dance.
My daughters have danced at DVDA for 10 years. I’ve been so impressed with the high level of ballet technique taught as well as the other class offerings (including contemporary and jazz). I love that they put on two amazing shows each year (including The Nutcracker) instead of it being a competitive dance program.
My daughter is going into her 5th year of dancing at DVDA and we couldn’t be happier! We have found a supportive, caring, technique driven dance academy with a positive culture and strong friendships!
Your first ballet class at Delaware Valley Dance Academy
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.
