Wissahickon Dance Academy in Germantown runs three separate summer day camp sessions sorted by age and experience: a Summer Ballet Intensive for intermediate dancers taught with a guest teacher from the Donetsk Ballet, a Beginner's Dance Camp mixing dance styles for older beginners, and a Pre-Ballet Camp for very young beginners. Ballet training follows the structured Vaganova method, and summer classes also include hip-hop and adult tap. The academy has two studios with marley over wood floors, a large dressing area and lobby.

★★★★★Liz CovolusMy daughter is now in her second year dancing at WDA, and we couldn’t be happier with our experience. From the beginning, we’ve been incredibly impressed by Christina's expertise and teaching style. She has a gift for being kind, instructive, and encouraging—qualities that make a world of difference for young dancers just starting out. WDA offers both a winter and spring show, giving children and adult dancers the chance to perform in front of their local community. These performances are fun for everyone and foster a sense of pride and excitement that’s truly contagious. The atmosphere at the studio is inclusive, energetic, and welcoming. It’s a place where kids feel supported and inspired, and where families feel part of something special. We absolutely love coming here. WDA is a true gem in Germantown!
★★★★★Emily BarrettI can't say enough good things about our experience at Wissahickon Dance Academy. My daughter has been taking the ballet classes with Miss Christina for more than a year, and has loved it! It's a super welcoming, supportive and fun environment, and Miss Christina's patience and ability to work with kids at different levels is amazing. Miss Christina also finds great performance opportunities for the kids, and gives the younger dancers the chance to perform alongside more experienced dancers, which has definitely inspired my daughter and builds a lovely sense of community. So grateful we found this place!
★★★★★Margaret RankinMy child has been a student at Wissahickon Dance Academy for seven years. WDA is dedicated to excellence and the power of dance.
★★★★★Sarah BartlettI dance here in the adult ballet class with Cara. She is a great instructor and she knows what she's doing. She is very patient with explaining to adult beginners such as myself and also good at challenging talented students. I recommend this studio.
★★★★★Hannah KearneyGrowing up, dancing was the biggest part of my life. Wissahickon Dance Academy taught me discipline, commitment and friendship. This studio was my second family while giving me excellent training in Vaganova style ballet, pointe, jazz, modern, and hip-hop. With this solid training, I was able to excel as a dancer in college. If you want an accepting community for your children to learn and cultivate friendship, this is the dance community for you.
