We are a Family here and strive to have a tight-knit community. We aim to treat your children and family as our own.
Our Families love attending our complimentary events for members like Student Appreciation Day or Parents Night Out. Spending time together at a Movie Night or seeing a Ballet are a few things our students can't wait to sign up for. Our themed weeks like Spirit Week and Pajama Week are a ton of fun too and our students can't wait to see what their surprise is on their Birthday!

At TDE, we believe giving back to the community we live in is important.
Our students love performing for Senior living facilities, collecting canned goods for a food drive or making magic wands for sick ballerinas in the hospital.
You never know where you'll see us next!

At TDE, we strongly believe each dancer can achieve their dreams, whatever that may look like for them!
We believe each student has their own special talents and should be placed accordingly.
Class placement begins by age but may change due to ability. This is done through yearly assessments to ensure level placement is even and justified.
Parents will be able to see where their dancer is throughout the year when they are invited into the classroom and will receive Goal Sheets at the end of the year to celebrate their dancer's achievements.
We help students achieve goals by teaching them how to map actionable steps and reward them for their hard work. Younger students also feel a great sense of achievement through reward charts, seasonal performances and completion certificates.
We strive for a fun, engaging environment while also challenging each student to work up to their potential.
We are willing to try different methods for each dancer to help them attain that “lightbulb” moment and achieve their goals.
As educators, it is just as exciting for us to see a student finally nail a skill they've been working on and we love to see our students proud faces!

Miss Angelica began dancing at the age of 3 and was soon studying many forms of dance from ballet, tap and jazz to hip-hop, modern, lyrical/contemporary, and musical theater. She was afforded the opportunity to dance in many places including being a featured part of productions such as the Boscov's Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Sunoco "Welcome America" 4th of July Parade, Hershey Centennial Parade, Governor Ed Rendell's Inaugural Parade, and her studio's performance of The Nutcracker where she had the leads of Dancing Doll (her favorite!) and Arabian Coffee. She is also an award winning competitive dancer and choreographer, earning top scores and specialty awards for her work.
Miss Angelica began her teaching career in high school shadowing her own teachers and becoming a Student Teacher, eventually having her own classes. It was here she found her love of teaching and creating choreography. She was a part of her high school Co-Op program and worked to learn all the ins and outs of Dance Studio life. She dreamed one day of opening her own place and is thrilled to finally live out those dreams!
Miss Angelica continued her dance education at Adelphi University where she received her degree in both Communications and Dance. She has taken master classes from renowned teachers including Desmond Richardson, Frank Ohman, Mia Michaels, Mandy Moore, Ray Leeper and Tyce Diorio as well as classes offered by ABT and The Paul Taylor Dance Company.
Miss Angelica is a mom to two boys, Luca and Leo, and appreciates the love and support from her husband Joe. She can't wait to see you in class!
