How they train

From the reviews
If you or your child want a structured studio that provides in-depth training, precision and discipline, PAB is a great fit. My oldest daughter took classes at other studios when she was young and was frustrated with the looseness of the classes. Instructors were super nice but too laid back for her.
PAB has been a corner stone in so many professional dancers’ lives. When I came to PAB I had been burned by many truly toxic ballet environments that I was so utterly unprepared for the amazing gifts that PAB would give me.
What a gem this local ballet studio is! Two years ago, I started adult beginner classes with no prior experience, and Elena and the other instructors have been very supportive. Elizabeth, the administrator, along with the entire staff, are incredibly kind and welcoming, making every visit a positive one.
Everybody is so kind and helpful. The open classes are amazing and perfect for dancer of all ages and levels!
Your first ballet class at Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet
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.
