From the reviews

As someone who trained at this school and danced professionally for 15 years, looking back now I realized this school gave me a top notch dance education. I now return from time to time to give Master Classes. I highly recommend this Dance School!

Both of my children have been dancing here since they were four. The staff is amazing. Not only are my children learning the art of dance, but they're learning discipline, dedication, and respect in the process. This is the place to come if you want your children to learn dance in a supportive, nurturing environment.

Your first ballet class at Pottstown Dance Theatre

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.
