Love rhythm and sole dance. Miss Patricia is an amazing teacher! She is great with the kids, she has so much patience. My daughter will be going for three years now and loves it. And it's not overpriced.

Ms Patricia is a great teacher. She has tons of patience and makes learning dance fun for young ones. My daughter has been attending for a few months. It is directly on Main St. in Slatington. Parking is on street or in the public lot. It is not too large which allows the children to not get lost in a huge school. Highly recommend for those looking to get their children in to dance.
