Blair Dance Academy

My family is extremely fortunate to have the Blair Dance Academy as part of our community. My daughter has danced for 10 years, with the past 8 being at the Blair Dance Academy. For her first two years of dance, we tried two other dance schools in the area and were extremely dissatisfied. Other local dance schools may have newer facilities, but the quality of instruction taught at the Blair Dance Academy is second to none. The quality of instructors they have on staff is amazing and from a parent's prospective, you can tell they truly care about their students and have a deep passion for what they do. The dance rates are truly a ""value"" and I would have no problem paying more money for the excellent education and experience they provide my daughter. If you have a special ""dancer"" in your life and are taking lessons from another studio, I highly recommend looking into Blair Dance Academy. more

This is the ONLY dance school in Altoona with teachers that have studied and received degrees in Dance Education from actual universities! They are the REAL DEAL! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and they will NOT harm your child's self-esteem by calling them ""fat"" either (like some other area dance studios do). 2 convenient locations beautifully maintained, affordable prices, and just a wonderful overall place to be! Pros: REAL teachers, positive environment, nice facilities Cons: old building has lack of parking more

They also have the Blair Dance Company which is a nationally ranked competitive dance troupe. Pros: Wonderful teachers, They teach everyone, Affordable prices Cons: needs more parking more
