Second Chance Dance 5836 Henry Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19128

"Being an older woman I am extremely pleased with this dance studio. Not only are the black owned but all female! It’s been well over 20 yrs since I’ve dance and its been a real pleasure to get back into it!"

"Genuinely one of my favorite experiences. I have been looking for a dance class that caters SPECIFICALLY to adult learners with ZERO experience & THIS IS IT. As someone who takes a while to learn new things, I felt so encouraged not only from my teachers, but the environment itself to be vulnerable and open to this new experience. While we do learn the technical and historical stuff, which is incredibly helpful for someone like me who likes to know the, "WHY/HOW"...the physical instruction itself is broken down into layman's terms as to not overwhelm, but to truly TEACH. Whether you're a true beginner like me or someone who just wants to polish what they already know, SECOND CHANCE DANCE is the place for you. 10/10 experience."

"SCD is the perfect place for adults if you're looking to bring dance back into your life or if you're a beginner looking to try something new! Alyssa is so supportive and patient, but she pushes and challenges you to grow as well. She offers a fantastic array of classes, and the dancers there readily welcome you into the SCD family. It's an amazing and flexible environment for working adults who love dance. As a 40-yr old, I thought my time dancing had passed and I'm so grateful to be back at it!"

"I’ve danced all of my childhood and after having my own kids and stepping away from dance I was looking for a safe place to start again and SCD is just that. Alyssa is patient and nurturing and makes you comfortable about the dance journey. Don’t get me wrong it’s no walk in the park and she will push you and you will grow. It is also affordable and the class eschedule is adult friendly and flexible. My family would love to see us showcase or something at then which don’t have the opportunity yet but hopefully we do as the school grows. If are on the fence give it a try."

"I've wanted to take ballet since I was a child. After reaching a certain age I thought it wouldn't be possible to train in ballet without getting a personal trainer. This school makes it possible and it makes me feel like I'm a child again! It's really a second chance! So much fun! I love it ❤️"
