The Dancing School At The Dancing School, dance is taught as an art form with a focus on confidence, education, health, proper technique, and fun!

At The Dancing School, dance is taught as personal training and inspiration in grace, coordination, health, confidence, and art education. We try to preserve and cultivate the student's natural creativity in class and make learning enjoyable while teaching proper technique. When teaching children, it is important to us that their first experience with dancing, an art form, be positive and lasting. We take direct action to foster creativity in our classes. We encourage our students to learn, think, recall, create and solve problems. We are firm but gentle while we maintain a true attitude towards professionalism. The Dancing School has been a venue of quality dance education for since 1976. Our attractive facility has two large and fully mirrored dance studios, with a viewing waiting room and convenient Pro-Shop which offers discounted prices on dancewear and dance shoes. The yearly program runs from September to May with additional eight week programs throughout the year for younger dancers and summer camps and classes during the summer months. The annual concert is held in May at the beautiful and newly renovated auditorium at Reading High School. The dance concert has a deserved fine reputation for being entertaining and creative as well as organized. Parents and faculty keep in contact with periodic newsletters, social media, parent peek weeks and our website. Tuition is collected in six monthly installments (Sept to Feb) that covers all costs for the year including costumes with no extra surprise costs. To encourage dancing families, we offer family discounts like no other.
