Philadelphia Dance Theatre

"Absolutely love love my adult ballet class! Dance instructor Gretchen is the best...you can truly see that she loves what she does. The others in the class are really nice and friendly too. We all have a great time. Such a fun class. I recommend this class to anyone who wants to learn ballet or who just wants to get back to dancing."

"My 3yr old daughter loves going here. It's very convenient it's only 3 mins away from my house. Plus you can't find good quality for the price you pay here anywhere."

"I have been affiliated with Philadelphia Dance Theatre for more than 11 years. My daughters are 23, 10 and 7. My husband and I knew this was the studio for us when he saw the director, Joy Capponi, in our neighborhood bank. The dance instruction is phenomenal (my oldest graduated with a Bachelors Degree in Strategic Communications and is currently dancing professionally), but what I appreciate most is the feeling that we are part of a community, a family. Joy is a second mother to all the dancers. She teaches them the art of dance while instilling lessons of goal setting, perseverance, professionalism, respect for others, humility, and time management. These lessons stay with PDT dancers long after graduation and she continues to help them while as they navigate life as an adult. Joy and her husband Dominic have been a big part of our family. Philadelphia Dance Theatre is a truly special place."

"My son has been taking ballet here for 5 years. He is challenged, he is given confidence, he has fun. At performance time, I am amazed at what this school accomplishes. The students put on professional ballets including Nutcracker that leave you breathless at times. Joy and her staff love what they do and they do it with professionalism, compassion, and with the child in mind."

"Five Star Dance studio, unbelievably talented and caring staff, and an amazing production of A Philadelphia Nutcracker plus a spring show every year that will impress even the most critical. If your child is drawn to dance, this is the place for you! My daughter has been there for over seven years and it has turned into a second home!"
