This is a smaller adult oriented studio that offers both group and private ballroom instruction for both social and competitive dancers (not so much standard though). I've seen group classes but not personally taken them and people look like they're having fun. They also do seasonal showcases for people interested in performing without the pressure of competition. The studio itself is L shaped with several walls of mirrors and is fine for latin and social dancing. It's not a great space if you need to practice full on ballroom routines on a normal sized competitive floor (this comment is geared mainly towards s/s dancers) because there isn't the square footage you might need. The studio instructors who I don't know already or am not taking lesson with usually ignore me- they're not unfriendly but they don't say hi either. Social dances are not crowded, and the last time I went there was a relatively high girl to guy ratio- but snacks and drinks were included, yay.

Dance Sport Academy is, hands down, the best dance instruction I have ever received. I have been…read moredancing swing for nearly ten years and ballroom for six years, I have taken lessons from national and international champions, I am a certified teacher in my own right, and let me say no one else has provided instruction of such high quality as I have received here. The instructors, in addition to being accomplished dancers themselves, have a phenomenal understanding of the teaching process and produce consistently outstanding results among their students. The past few months I have been at the Academy have produced some of the best growth I have ever experienced as a dancer. That said, there are three downsides. The first is that the lessons are the most expensive of any studio in Philadelphia (though they are well worth the price). Second, the group classes are often at inconvenient times and focus on a very narrow range of dances. Third, the parties are rarely attended by the school's better dancers and are seriously weighted towards inexperienced women, with very, very few unattached men in attendance. None of these downsides, however, has even remotely dissuaded me from taking lessons here, and I highly recommend you do the same.

Back in 1992, I moved from NYC, where I had been teaching dance for 20 years and trained with top…read moreschools like the Joffrey Ballet School, Broadway Dance Center and others. I trained many dancers who turned pro. When I came here, I could not find good schools close to where we moved. I found this school and it was wonderful. My daughter and I took classes there and were very impressed. It was hard to continue because it was a trip from where we lived, and during the weekdays, I was a single mom of 2, due to my husband's work away from home. I opened my own school, locally, and it was successful for 15 years, until I retired from ownership and passed it onto others. I retired, temporarily, from teaching (since 1973) due to bad knees. Once I had them replaced, I called the owner, who is a colleague of mine who had judged for me at my competition, to take some classes to get back to dance. She asked me to also teach. I've been teaching there and am still so impressed with, not only the professionalism, but the moral and ethics, that match mine, that I find are lacking in some schools, I love working there and how she, and the staff, truly care for the well-being of the dancers. Michelle will not abandon her ethics, just to make a parent, or child, happy. Her standards are too high, thank goodness. I am so happy, after the few years I took off from teaching and dancing, to be at this dance school. I love the fact that their annual student demo concert does not charge fees for costumes, or concert fee. Only ticket sales. It is run beautifully, and I love working with professional teachers who think like me and have the background of excellent training, not just as dancers, but as teachers. If you are looking for an ethical school for your child, or yourself, with people who care more about you than what you can bring to them, this is the place. Thanks, Michelle Wurtz, for bringing me on board, in my later years, and giving me back my passion and the joy of teaching, again.

The fact that this group has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Lincoln Center and at the Olympics tells me that their instruction and execution is first rate.

Firstly, they are the top technique school in the whole area. In researching studios for my Granddaughter, I discovered that all the teachers are highly educated in their fields of dance with backgrounds with Boston Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet ( now known as the Philadelphia Ballet) Being a competition school, DAC always places high at these competitions and never fails to get the overall Technique Award. Teachers are knowledgeable and caring and all are talented choreographers. Students will come away well educated in dance as well as developing self-confidence. As a former professional ballerina, I could have chosen any number of schools but my choice for my Granddaughter is DAC.

The way they structured a "social distancing class" for 2 year olds was great. We loved having Miss Jen and fast forward to this year our daughter is in her 2nd year of Creative Rhythm with Miss Jen. The dance company has a new location which didn't travel far from the previous location. it is located right off of county line and upper state road in Chalfont. The building is like night and day from their old spot! It's welcoming, clean, and each dance class room is brightly lit with windows/doors to "peek in" on the dancers doing their craft. My daughter feels so safe going to Babylon and enjoys making new friends (even at the age of 4). She is figuring out if she has a passion for dance, and I'm glad she is doing it here. The owners are always communicating with you about the fees/payments, exciting news, and class closures due to weather related issues. I also love that they let you "trial" a class for free before you commit! I would highly recommend this dance company to any parent trying to start their little one out

Five Stars Isn't Enough!…read more From the moment I walked into this dance studio, I knew I had found something special. Every single instructor is not only highly skilled but also genuinely supportive and welcoming. No matter your experience level, they meet you exactly where you are and guide you with patience, encouragement, and joy. What makes this place truly extraordinary is that it's not just about learning to dance--it's about healing. If you're looking for something therapeutic, something that reconnects you with yourself in the most joyful, unexpected way... this is it. For me, dancing here has been more transformative than I ever imagined. What started as a hobby ended up being the most healing thing I did during a challenging time in my life - and the instructors, without realizing it - have played a big part in this transformation. The dance parties are an absolute blast, and the studio goes above and beyond with fun events like bowling nights and picnics that bring people together outside the dance floor too. It's clear they're not just teaching dance--they're building a beautiful, welcoming community for people who love to move, laugh, and connect. If you're even thinking about trying a class, do it. This studio is a gift--one I didn't know I needed until I walked through the door.
