From the reviews
PADA is a wonderful studio. The teachers are the best around who are highly knowledgeable in the art of dance and treat all students with kindness. The owner, Pam, is friendly, super efficient and truly cares about each dancer and their family.
My daughters found themselves faced with the difficult decision of quitting dance (something they loved) or finding a new studio, when both were in high school. From the moment we met with Pam, the owner and Miss Kim, the artistic director, it was clear that Pennsylvania Academy of Dance Arts (PADA) was different from…
I am I former dancer of Pennsylvania Academy Of Dance Arts and I loved it but sadly I had to leave due to my other activities and the teachers are very nurturing and only want the best for you. Five star ⭐️ rating😋🙂🙃
I can thank the instructors and owner enough for creating an amazing place for my daughters to thrive. PADA is more than a dance studio. Pam and Kim really are creating strong, talented young ladies!
Your first ballet class at Pennsylvania Academy of Dance Arts
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.
