From the reviews

Pennsylvania Ballet Conservatory is more than a ballet school - they focus on the dancers' full body (including body conditioning, stretching and Pilates) to build stronger, healthier bodies and they foster a welcoming and positive environment.

Vanessa, the Artistic Director pours her heart and soul into the training & teaching, the performances, and the children. She is so much more than just a ballet teacher.

★★★★★ — Bethanne, Feb 2023

Took my kids to see their public Coppelia show this past weekend and I am still thinking of what a great show it was! All of the performances were amazing... so much talent and professionalism was modeled by these young performers.

★★★★★ — Yrai, Oct 2025

We take the grown up and me class with our two year old. It’s a great way for her to be around other kids in a comfortable and encouraging environment. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

Your first ballet class at Pennsylvania Ballet Conservatory

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.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
