    I do not recommend the dance studio. The gymnastics and tumbling program is excellent, and well-respected.The cost per one hour of dance is a little over $100 per month. The price tag is higher than at Dance Depot, which is $80/hour for a month, and offers pre-professional training. There is also no cap off point with regards to cost per classat most studios in the area, when your students enrollment reaches some number of classes per week, additional classes are at no cost. There are also leadership issues. Many of the other dance studios in southeastern PADance Depot, Rising Star, Visions, Lets Get Dancing, PADA, Pottstown Dance Theatrewere founded by a former professional dancer, someone with a degree in dance, or someone with a clear vision of building confidence, fitness, and actual dance skills. Many of these programs have a competition dance program. The founder has a recreational dance background, and relies on staff to bring all of the knowledge of proper technique and good pedagogy. There is no rules handbook. As a parent you do not sign off on any set of acknowledged rules, the rules are whatever suits the owner at that moment. There is no transparency in the Upper Merion Dance program. Many studios tout their instructors credentials on their website, but at Upper Merion, you may not even know your childs instructors name. Your instructor may also be very qualified and hold a bachelors in dance from Temple. There is no progression checklist for any form of dance, so kids move up or held back at what may be the whim of the instructor. Its a recreational dance school, but one kid may be held back while the rest of the class moves up, despite that there were no clearly outlined goals for the year, which seems out of place if this is just for funsies. Regardless of whether you would like your child to learn a dance form or just enjoy some fitness with friends, I recommend going somewhere else. The price tag isnt worth it.
