Exceptional and knowledgeable teachers. Pleasant and warm atmosphere. The studio has a long history for training many dancers who went onto professional careers in dance. It has a worthy and wonderful story - a gem to be cherished on the Main Line.

I trained at the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet, along with my sister, from age 6 to age 17, when I…read moregraduated high school. I went on to dance professionally with several ballet companies because of the training that I received from Mr. and Mrs. White, Bryan Koulman, and Melinda Pendleton. The Whites have created a beautiful school in Narberth that so many dancers, and their families, consider a second home. The training is mainly in the Vaganova method, however, each instructor provides a slightly different emphasis. Bryan Koulman is a seasoned choreographer and his classes are both challenging and dynamic. There are several performance opportunities throughout the year, including the Nutcracker and a Spring showcase, which allow students to diligently rehearse and perform regularly. I always appreciated the active adult ballet program, which many schools do not offer, because I could continue coming back to take class long after I had stopped dancing professionally. My mom would even take the adult class throughout my childhood, which I loved. I highly recommend the Pennsylvania Academy of Ballet for both children and adults. This studio strikes the appropriate balance between being a serious training school while also facilitating close friendships among the students.

I followed it one night wondering what was going on this late at night and was lead to the Pivot Ballroom. The windows were open, lights flashing, and energy flowing, I went upstairs to check it out and was shocked at how many people were up there dancing away. I was greeted by an enthusiastic and sweet girl, Paola, who explains she runs the Latin Dance Party first and third Friday each month at the Ballroom, she is with Controla Dance Academy. Salsa, Mambo, Bachata, and more! The party goes from 10-1:30, but things start at 8 with dance lessons. 15$ cover before 9, 20$ after. BYOB and BYOF, they do have water and snacks available for free. I usually grab a pizza from Ardmore Pizza and bring it up to share. DJ spinning tunes and loads of people dressed to kill, it's a fun time and well worth checking out! While you are there grab an event calendar, they have lots of dance functions every month.

Even though we could only fit in four lessons, she was super flexible with scheduling and made sure we felt ready for our big day. We wanted a routine that gave the groom a moment to shine, and Marissa totally nailed it. She even came up with three different lift options and taught us all of them so we could choose what felt most comfortable. We quickly learned that dancing a choreographed routine together is harder than it looks, but Marissa was so patient and encouraging every step of the way. She also sent us detailed notes after each session, which helped us practice at home. Thanks to her, our first dance turned out even better than we imagined. Highly recommend Marissa and Pivot Dance Studio to any couple who wants to feel confident and have fun on the dance floor!

At Reel Cinema sit where you want, which is good for people like me who inevitably try a few rows before finding my optimum place. (BTW, the auditorium is very big, so it's unlikely they'd ever have a packed house. Stadium seating, too -- though the seats where I was weren't properly staggered.) The theater is a block away from Narberth's main drag. Definitely feels a little dated. But I don't care. Nostalgia! Plus -- while I don't know the going rate for popcorn -- I think it's less here. $6 and $7.

There was no writing instruction. In addition, the staff seemed to have neither talent, nor experience in working with children and regularly treated the kids as if they were much younger than they were.

The tram moved at a nice pace so you could really take in everything. So much to see - everywhere. It was a really fun way to spend a few hours on a rainy day! But I urge you to visit rain or shine!
