My daughter has been dancing at Penny Lane for 4 years now, and she has loved every minute of it. Now she is also on one of the competitive teams, and that has been a rewarding experience as well (the focus is more on teamwork and doing their best than win at all costs).

★★★★★ — Sherri, Mar 2019

I have three girls and each one has gone to Penny Lane since they were 2 years old. Andi and her staff create a magical experience from day one. Andi is an experienced dancer, business owner and teacher. Her professionalism and attention to detail, especially during Covid was particularly impressive.

★★★★★ — Catherine, Sep 2021

Penny Lane Dance Academy in Somers, NY is wonderful! Caring teachers and a great family friendly vibe. The dancers learn a lot while having tons of fun. They also learn a lot about "giving back" to the community which is a big plus in my mind as a mom.

Your first ballet class at Penny Lane Dance Academy

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.
