Good Dance Schools in the Philadelphia Area

i think for a toddler, you are not necessarily looking for a "good" dancing school rather than the dancing school that fits you and your daughter...my daughter was three and went to a popular dancing school in south philly, however, it was a little overwhelming and she was shy...so i went to a smaller more comfortable school and it was wonderful...she is 10 1/2 now and we just tranferred back to that original popular studio b/c she can handle the atmosphere now.

Hi A., I am going to put my daughter in Carol Ann School of Dance. 80 2nd Street Pike Ste 1
Southampton, PA 18966 ###-###-####
My daughter is 4 1/2 and this is going to be her second semester there. (winter being the first)
I, like you, were not impressed by many other schools I visited and talked to. I chose Ms Carol Ann's (that's owners name) because she has people skills and their program for up to 8 yrs old, is combo classes (ballet and tap incrementing in difficulty) and hip-hop (a separate class). Most importantly, classes are FUN at the same time. My daughter loves her classes.
Hope this helps!

Koresh on Chestnut near 20th. I think the website is koreshdance.org Then click on children's classes. My 4-year old loves it. They won "best of philly" for children's classes. They are strict with dress code, attendance etc. But that's good for my kid.

My daughter just started at the Metropolitan Ballet Academy. It is on Cedar Road in Jenkintown. I love this school because it is a REAL dance school. Not teens teaching your children how to shake their butts and dance around like they are at a club. Age appropriate. My daughter is in the 3-6 creative movement class. It has a lot of ballet technique with fun movement as well. Hope this helps
