Our summer is off to a great start with our Level A camp and intensives for Levels B-E! Lots of fun, hard work, and beautiful dancing. It’s not too late to sign up for the rest of our summer offerings-including adult classes in Ballet and Jazz!

We love getting the hear about the many places our dancers are studying this summer, and can't wait to see them back in our studios. Congrats Clare!

Parents! 3 weeks into summer break--you deserve a night out! We are going to have a fun night of games, crafts, floor is lava and more while you enjoy an evening sans kids! Its a win-win. Register today!

Summer is a great time to not only hone ballet technique with new teachers but also explore other styles and build versatility. Congrats and enjoy Atlanta, Miranda!

Our dancers know dedication and fortitude so it was a pleasure and privilege to volunteer for the Ironman triathlon last weekend. Thanks to all who came out to support the school by supporting the athletes!

What a special night celebrating SAMA Altoona this Saturday at their gala!

It's our final of the season! Gabby Showalter is an alumni from Nittany Ballet who graduated in 2022 after training in ballet since she was 3 years old. She was trained at Nittany Ballet for over a decade under Artistic Directors Rebecca Maciejczyk and Connor Weigand, and instructors such as Paul Gibson and Jennifer Muccitelli. She also received private training from Leslie Hench for seven years.

She has attended summer intensive programs at Cedar Islands with Suzanne Farrell, Alonzo King LINES Ballet Advanced Program, and Arts Umbrella, as well as the summer program at Nittany Ballet. Throughout high school she performed roles such as the Snow Queen and Dew Drop in The Nutcracker, and other featured roles in ballets including Sleeping Beauty, Coppelia, and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Additionally, she performed as an apprentice with Boundless Bodies Contemporary Ballet.

She has taught 7-8 year olds and adults at Leslie Hench’s Ribbon Mill Ballet, and adult classes at Nittany Ballet. Gabrielle just graduated from Penn State University Park with a Psychology major. She is primarily interested in child development and is hoping to work toward her master’s degree in child counseling.

We agree! Learning from new teachers and connecting to other dancers is one of the benefits of summer intensive! Congrats Clara!

Enjoy a Friday Night out while the kids have fun with Nittany Ballet! We'll dance, play games, and do crafts. For more information and to register, go to: https://pascp.org/parents-nights-out
