Next Stage Dance Studio

The Next Stage provides a friendly and comfortable environment that focuses on confidence building, the nurturing of performance skills and the development of mentoring relationships with students of all ages. Our staff consists of accredited educators, professional ballerinas from the PA Ballet, members of Philadanco, Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders and dancers who have appeared on FOX's"So You Think You Can Dance." Being an educator for the past thirteen years and a certified school psychologist, our director, Ms. Courtney Daniels, thoroughly trains the Next Stage staff to utilize teaching methodology that is based off of child development principles and successful educational learning strategies.

As a result, our staff is able to offer our students safe and efficient training that results in expert skill development and confidence building. In addition, Ms. Daniels, an experienced choreographer and reputable high school performing arts department chair/director, emphasizes the importance of commitment and discipline in the study of dance; however, understands the value of offering cooperative and flexible training options to allow our older students a well-rounded high school experience.
