The Dance Factory

We love Dana! She works her magic with our youngest dancers, brings technical training to our teen and adult ballet dancers, and runs our very popular tap program!

Dana began her dance training at age five. Four years later she was accepted into The School of The Pennsylvania Ballet. Here she had the privilege to be trained by one of George Balanchine's original ballerinas, Yvonne Patterson. Dana increased her studies by attending summer intensives and was soon promoted into the pre professional program at the school. While dancing in the advanced levels she was honored to be trained by American Ballet Theatre's former Principal ballerina Lupe Serrano. Dana was chosen to perform alongside The Pennsylvania Ballet Company in professional productions under the direction of Barbara Weisberger and Benjamin Harkarvy.

An injury sustained while dancing prevented Dana from continuing her professional training but she never lost her love for dance. Today she enjoys sharing her experience and passion for dance with others.

Please confirm with Kate what classes you are planning to take in 2026/27

We are so fortunate to have had the BEST dance camp this week! Ange and Keigan are great teachers who managed to keep these kids engaged with full days of dancing, crafts, and building friendships. They introduced students to multiple styles during their four days together and helped cultivate a love of dance and the skills needed to build and make art with your peers! Here are clips from the dances they created together during their four days.
