The first time I walked into PSPA I knew we had found home! My daughter has been dancing and growing under the direction of Mrs Terri and staff for years and more recently my son has been taking acting/voice class. Our children are getting an instruction like no other! Not only are they learning technique (they take ballet, contemporary and lyrical jazz, voice/acting) they are learning to dance and perform for a higher purpose. They are forming friendships based on respect, discipline and understanding of themselves and toward others. They are guided in each class to be the best they can be, to be present, mindful, loyal to the art and to themselves. Both permanent and guest Teachers at PSPA bring a passion to their classes with the highest level of expertise that innately motivates our children to learn while having fun! My son is gaining skills in acting that is bringing him a sense of confidence to further reach for his dream of being on stage. When an audition in NYC for a Broadway show came his way he was extremely prepared based on this training. PSPA also cares and respects all of their "family" knowing and respecting that it takes a village. The lessons they learn at PSPA are making them stronger more confident performers in their art as well as overall beautiful spirited individuals. When you mix technique, the ability to teach it to others, professionalism and the foundation of life lessons needed to achieve any of your wishes, you have the recipe for excellence!

Horrible. Misleading Owner would intimidate my daughter at every turn to and get her to take more classes. Signed up for ballet and ended up doing hip hop instread because the teacher would call out all the time. If your not on the team no attention is given to a child there to get more technique. Closes the whole month of December and charges you anyway. And when you tell her you want to quit she demands you still pay. - and she never outlined this in her crazy online system. My opinion is if a dance company wants you to pay even after you quit its because they have a lot of students quitting. (Im speaking about kids not in the company) Save your money and go to schools worth the time like Rock School, the ballet institute, dance elite. Owner is very hard to reach. Even if you wanted to quit you cant reach her and when you do all she does reply to your questions with this famous person is here, that famous person is teaching this class. Bunch of bull. Wish I would have listen to my friends and saved my time and money

Professional, non-competitive, and fun. Everything you could ask for in a well-rounded dance education. Terri Lee brings in the best teachers in the area for her students - and it shows! Not only do many of her students going on to professional dance/theater careers (and Broadway), but they are all taught from a young age how to act and handle themselves in a professional environment. There is so much encouragement and love in this organization, it is the perfect studio to bring a child through. There is no doubt that this dance school is the best in the Bucks County area.

The PA School of the Performing Arts home of the Spirit in Motion Ballet Theater Company is a nurturing enviornment for your child to learn and grow. The school offers Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Modern, Lyrical, Acting, Musical Theater, Voice, Tap and Hip Hop. The Company and School put on the most impressive full theater productions. The school has amazing teachers from Broadway and Professional Dance Companies and offers workshops througout the year. This is by far the best Theater and Dance School in the Bucks County Area!

As an alumnus of PSPA, I fully credit Terri Lee and her wonderful teachers for laying the groundwork of my career as a professional dancer. Since my time there, I have worked in ballet companies all over the country and am now a proud member of Actors Equity Association, working as a featured dancer on my second national tour. And, mine is just one of MANY success stories. If you are looking for the best technical training possible, in an environment that celebrates the the ARTIST within each of us, you will find it at PSPA.

My daughters have been a part of the Pspa family for a number of years now and I can wholeheartedly say that it is their home away from home. Terri Lee has created a dancing environment that is so nurturing and so loving and so supportive that the children do not want to leave at the end of classes. Technique is taught in a masterful and encouraging atmosphere so that the love of dance and the arts grows in my children with each day. We praise this school and Terri Lee as true gems!!!

This school makes my daughter feel like home. She never wants to leave after her classes, but finds any possible excuse to stay longer watching older girls and impatiently waiting to be invited on the floor. The teachers are amazing, very professional. They teach not only the ballet techniques, and other dance genre but the way to carry yourself in life, be confident and graceful. Thank you PSPA for helping me raising my daughter to be a role model, art lover and performer.

This school is 100% the place to send your children. I grew up dancing here, and cannot even begin to describe how grateful I am for the training I received from PSPA. The teachers are all extremely professional and caring, and the entire school is a family. From learning how to sing, dance and act to real life lessons on how to make it in the professional world, this school taught me so many amazing things. Best place to be go in Bucks County for sure.

Best dance school- caring, nurturing environment! My daughter considers this her second home. The owner/director has created a culture of love and sisterhood between the girls. My daughter has received first class dance training and love of the arts. Excellence in technique is always emphasized. The owner gets to know all of the girls personally and I love that there are video cameras in all of the studios so I can always watch the classes.

My daughter has been dancing with PSPA for 5 years now. Its been quite a journey from the awkward 12 year old to the beautiful dancer she is today. She could have taken a class or two, just for fun, but she jumped right in with both feet and fell in love with the kids, the teachers and Terri (the director). Her time with Terri has really molded her into an organized, accomplished, amazing young woman. Thank-you PSPA! Thank-you Terri!

PSPA provides the perfect environment for children of all ages to explore the arts and receive the BEST training in Bucks County. The shows produced by PSPA are stunning, and by far the most professional productions in dance and musical theater in the area. The teachers are always relevant at PSPA, and the dance studios are beautiful and clean.
