With the new season upon us, Philadelphia Studio Ballet welcomes friends, both old and new, to celebrate our first anniversary in our new home located at 339 – 345 W. Lancaster Avenue, Haverford, Pa. 19041. (Across from Saxby’s).

Both Management and Staff are very excited about the development of new ideas which will change the entire atmosphere of the studio.

Today the school has 3 spacious studios, a professional faculty, and continues to flourish. PSB’s teaching philosophy enforces the belief that students thrive in a loving, positive, and pressure free nurturing environment.

Our aim is to develop dancers with strong, clear, classical technique; emphasizing artistry, purity of line, and quality of movement. However, the identity of a dancer used to be significantly different than the identity of dancers today. Offering many dance disciplines, other than the traditional approach is very important for a young dancer’s education.

To that end, we are delighted to welcome new and talented faculty this year, and we expect they will integrate seamlessly and carry on the tradition here. Shortly, you will be able to read about their varied backgrounds; from degreed educators to current and past professionals from Pennsylvania Ballet.

Although a student may not have ambitions to dance professionally, the benefits of high quality classes are invaluable.  Experienced teachers, along with state-of-the-art floors minimize the potential for lifelong injuries that can accompany bad training and poor facilities.

Additionally, this season our students will have the opportunity to study with guest teachers and professional dancers in our newly established Master Class Program.  A fully funded scholarship program has been established for boys between the ages of 7 and 18 interested in studying Ballet.

With the formation of our own performing company, Philadelphia Studio Ballet can offer serious students the opportunity to participate in high quality productions throughout the year.

Our own company’s production of The Nutcracker has quickly become an exciting annual tradition! However, students of PSB are also invited to audition for Pennsylvania Ballet’s Nutcracker which can be seen every holiday season at The Academy of Music. This opportunity provides our students two chances to dance in this spectacular ballet! They gain invaluable experience performing in a professional environment, while giving them a peek at the commitment necessary for a career in dance.

In closing, please refer to our introductory information for an overview of the school’s policies. Details and specifics can be found by individual category.

Philadelphia Studio Ballet invites you to join us for Open House Registration.

We look forward to seeing you!
