Dance PA was founded to make ballroom dance lessons in Northeastern Pennsylvania welcoming and enjoyable for all experience levels. Our primary focus is helping beginners feel comfortable from their very first lesson. At the same time, we provide a clear path for continued growth. Whether your goal is social dancing, wedding preparation, or personal achievement, you’ll have a way forward.
With nearly 30 years of professional teaching and competitive experience, Dance PA is built on proven methods. These methods help students improve in ways that are both noticeable and measurable.

How we teach.
Our method of instruction combines three core elements. Each compliments the other, reinforcing your retention and understanding.
Private Lessons
The private lesson is the most focused individual attention you can get. It is where you will be introduced to new dances and theories incorporated into your lesson plan.
Group Lessons
The group lesson is the direct compliment to the private lesson. You’ll be in a group of other students at the same level as you. Repetition and light socializing are the focus here.
Socials, Practice Sessions, & Events
This is where it all comes together! We regularly host socials and other types of dance events to keep our students on the dance floor. Dinner dances, parties, and other dance events offer great opportunities to practice and become a part of our dance community.
At your service.
From relaxed social evenings to more structured showcases and competitions, students have the chance to apply what they’ve learned while becoming part of a positive and welcoming dance community. To complement private lessons, Dance PA offers group classes, social dance parties, and opportunities to participate in local ballroom events throughout Northeastern Pennsylvania.
Whether you’re taking your very first step or continuing your dance journey, Dance PA provides the structure, support, and community to help you succeed.
