They have classes that start as early as 18 months (mommy & me) and run all the way through adult fitness classes. The school is divided into several divisions. Children's (the youngest through around age 8), student (8 through around 14), pre professional and graduate. Anyone can participate in the children's division, but you need to audition for placement in the student division. PBT also has an adult fitness/wellness curriculum that has classes like ballet 101 and Pilates. The staff and teachers are absolutely wonderful. They genuinely care about each and every kid (or adult) in their class. PBT as a whole is wonderful as well! They do several mainstage productions a year including the Nutcracker every December. They are always creative, beautiful and just a joy to watch and appreciate the artistry. I especially love when they are productions with the orchestra. Overall, an amazing organization with a wonderful school and great productions.

I enjoy the Pittsburgh references to the story and in the scenery but, really, the hockey-stick-carrying penguin, the rats waving "terrible towels" were a bit strange. As were the "local celebrities" who were given non-speaking, non-dancing (thankfully!) roles as party guests-- why?? What could be next? Pittsburgh Dance Moms in minor roles? Apparently I prefer a more traditional version of The Nutcracker. I missed some of the costumes and dances from the original Balanchine production. I know that some will say that it's predictable and static to do this the same way every year, but when I think of this ballet, it is what I want to see. That being said, the dancers were wonderfully talented and executed their movements perfectly. We are fortunate to have their talent in Pittsburgh!

I went to see two of my favorite 4 year olds in their first dance recital today. I had a front row…read moreseat. I definitely had one of the best seats in the house. The building sits on a beautiful school campus. All of the buildings are red brick with white accents. Very classic and proper looking. The auditorium was bigger than I expected. It is set up in a way that most seats are great seats. The seats are roomy and there is nice knee room. Some of the seats are a bit straight up and steep to get to so if you are seeing a production go for the orchestra seats.

A friend suggested that I check out Donna's and I'm glad we did! First of all, Donna is extremely responsive. She usually answers email inquiries within an hour or so, but I've never waited longer than a day for a response. In correspondence with the school they are always polite and informative. One of the selling points for me on this studio is that they don't push you to buy a million things and their tuition is affordable. Kids in the three and four year old combination class aren't required to wear anything particular and aren't required to purchase shoes until they know they are performing in the recital. That is a huge relief considering you never know how kids are going to be in terms of sticking with something. Another perk is that boys dance for free at this studio! They just have to pay the registration fee and then a costume fee if they choose to dance in the recital. This is an amazing option if you have both a son and a daughter. The studio itself is well lit, clean and spaced out. There is a large waiting area for parents where we can see in to the classroom and check out with the kids are up to, but the kids can't really see out to the parent area. The studios are spacious and mirror lined. Everyone we've interacted with at the studio is extremely friendly and my kids absolutely love their teacher and the aide. If you are looking for a dance studio, I highly recommend you check out Donna's.
