About GDA
Glenside Dance Academy offers ballet lessons for young children (and adults!) that combine creativity and excellence in a low-pressure environment. Starting as young as age 2 children can build a solid base for a future in ballet or just enjoy an introduction to dance, movement, and music. Our short sessions let you try it out without committing for a whole year.
Lessons take place downstairs in the Fellowship Hall of Calvary Orthodox Presbyterian Church, 734 Willow Grove Avenue, Glenside, PA.
Attire
Girls: Leotard and tights or socks. Leather ballet shoes. Hair pulled back from face. Ballet skirts optional.
Boys: White t-shirt and athletic shorts or pants. Leather ballet shoes.
Adult: Comfortable clothing you can move and stretch in. Yoga or running pants and a tank top or t-shirt work well. So do sweats. :) For shoes- most ladies just go barefoot, but grip socks or ballet shoes are fine too. If you have long hair, you'll probably want to pull it back. A yoga mat and light weights are helpful, but not required.
