About Us
A Mission of Movement Excellence
The Dance Conservatory of Pittsburgh provides an uncompromising dance education through an integrated, whole-person approach to teaching, curriculum and performance regardless of a student’s future aspirations. Thoughtful programming is designed for our youngest artists with room for personal development, creativity and acumen as dancers grow into themselves. The Dance Conservatory of Pittsburgh is not a dance studio, it’s a cultural center for dance and movement education with a growing community.
Teachers with Experience
At the heart of The Dance Conservatory of Pittsburgh is the belief that dance education, performance and outreach provides the opportunity for us to know ourselves better, connect and make a contribution to the community. Our faculty are professionals in the field who share this philosophy and are passionate about giving back.
