From the reviews
Patty Harper is an educational and a fun place to learn the beautiful arts of dance. With multiple different styles of dance you and your child will never experience a dull moment. Recitals with breathtaking dances with brilliant choreography and heart grabbing stories performances are unique and fun at the PHDS.
My four year old started tap and jazz this summer and we have fallen in love with the studio and people. The studio is precious, like stepping back in time. It just has this nostalgic feel to it and Mary and her staff treat you like family. I am so grateful to have learned about this wonderful place.
This a wonderful place, with great instructors and a wonderful owner, Mary. I highly recommend!
Your first ballet class at Patty Harper Dance Studio
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.
