My daughter has been coming here for two years. I have been impressed by the professionalism, the interest in the kids and the quality of the teachers. The teachers are supportive and the kids love them. The yearly shows are of a professional caliber and the best I’ve seen.

★★★★★ — Lauren, Aug 2018

We can’t say enough wonderful things about PSPA! Our daughter is starting her third year of dance here and every year she keeps asking to take more classes. Teachers are kind and patient, extremely knowledgeable, and so encouraging.

Your first ballet class at Pennsylvania School of the Performing 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.

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.
