The criticism was never constructive, always mean and rude, breaking students down instead of building them up. It was a very toxic environment and my daughter was often told by the owner and some of the students that she did not fit in and wasn't good enough. The owner is only a tap dancer and that's all the studio would like to focus on. There are other much better, well rounded, more professional studios in the area.

My children rave about their instructors, the atmosphere is joyful, rigorous and encouraging. Of all the dance schools in this area I cannot recommend one more highly than I would recommend Passmore.

Came here with a few friends for salsa and bachata night about 2 Saturdays ago and had so much fun!…read moreThe studio is spacious and clean; Darlin (the owner and primary teacher) is patient, fun, and incredibly entertaining. I kept stumbling with my turns so he went out of his way during the lesson to work with me on them. After an hour lesson, the dance floor opened up until 2am to a spicy mix of salsa and bachata songs! As a first-timer I felt shy and sat in a corner but everyone (even the elite) were so friendly and continually asked me to dance (and taught me steps along the way)! I tend to be very uncomfortable when it comes to physical contact but dancing with everyone felt rather natural! Such a lovely experience- If I lived in or near Philly I would take classes here in a heartbeat. Will definitely be back for more salsa nights!

Our instructor was pleasant and patient, and we had a great time learning basic salsa moves!! The other people in the drop-in class were two other couples...so be warned as that generally seems the norm for classes. I think the academy also does "salsa parties" which are more free practice sessions. The time flew by, and we were encouraged to videotape the last 5 minutes of the instructor giving an overview of what we had learned, so we could come back after practicing on our own! Will definitely come back to use up the rest of our livingsocials....hopefully the classes aren't too repetitive so we'll see!

My daughter went to DAC starting at age 2. She joined competition in 1st grade and company level in…read more3rd. For years she absolutely loved dance and had a wonderful time. But as she got older and took dance more seriously joining competition and company level, the environment at the studio completely destroyed her passion. From my experience, the regular classes are great- inclusive friends, nice parents but the company level and competition level is different. The teachers have obvious favorites and consistently put those dancers first -- especially the competition director, Taylor Martin. My daughter also had a ballet teacher at the company level who even critiqued her body, which was extremely discouraging. The only teacher who ever made her feel supported and valued was Mr. Matt. There have also been multiple parent complaints made to the owner, Sara, about favoritism and the toxic atmosphere. Despite that, nothing seemed to change. Sara also awhile back was telling parents to leave good reviews (everyone eft them on google reviews)... now that we left I gave my honest review. Socially, the studio is just as difficult. The girls have strong cliques and don't include others unless they meet their "standards." The parents have their own cliques as well. Once my daughter hit middle school, all of this became very obvious. No one cheered for her at competitions, and girls who weren't in the "right" friend group were ignored. She ended up alone in classes and alone at competitions, which was heartbreaking to watch. She loved dance so much that she used to count down the days to class -- but eventually she started coming up with excuses to skip because the environment made her feel so unwelcome. From what I've seen, younger competitive dancers don't deal with this as much, though their parents still form groups. But if your child is in middle school or older, I do not recommend joining the competition team at DAC. Many girls have switched studios because of the toxic atmosphere, and based on our experience, I completely understand why. I would say DAC is the right place if your daughter is younger and doesn't want to join competition or the company level. The normal level classes are great... everyone is inclusive and has good teachers just not competition or company.

His framing studio is transformed after hours. He pushes back some of the displays and makes room for tables and easels. People filter through, bringing food and drinks to share, works in progress to continue, and art supplies in tow. It's a chill vibe and low-pressure way to scratch creative itches. Many paint, others work with other mediums like charcoal. Jim bounces from student to student offering help and critique, helping you figure out how to solve a problem you're having with your piece as you go. He has a room of art supplies you can buy from if you run out of something or need something else, which is super convenient. If you're new to art or to a medium, Jim has some trials and process to how he helps folks build up the basics. Everyone in the class has done them before graduating to painting. I'm nervous even admitting this because people may take up all the spots, but I truly believe in Jim's classes and know that many people also love his work for framing. Give this place a shot!
