Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Call (215) 387-8202 to ask about open class spots and times, then sign up for a class at the studio you choose..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Young children start with pre-dance and acrobat classes, and students from age 7 take classical ballet, modern jazz, and tap. Classical ballet runs from beginner to advanced levels, and adults can take ballet, modern, tap, jazz, or hip hop. Pointe is offered from age 10, once a dancer is physically ready. Call first to confirm open spots, class times, and tuition before you come.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call (215) 387-8202 first to confirm open spots and class times, since the site does not post them.
  • Ask which studio has your class, because the two studios have different hours.
  • The Oak Lane studio lists a different phone number on the school page, so check it before you call.
  • Ask about tuition before you sign up, because prices are not posted.

Newcomer welcome

Welcoming to newcomers (4 out of 5). Why we say this: The school lists classes from beginner level up, including adult classes, and tells people to call about openings. It does not describe a trial class or a drop-in day..
