"In 1973 Marlyn Abramson, Executive Director, opened the Marlyn Abramson School of Dance in Lansdale, PA. The objective was to provide a community based school that was non-competitive, performance-based, and inclusive for all children and adults. In 1997 she acquired the New Dance Workshop in West Point, PA which is now located in Spring House, PA, and then expanded with studios in Harleysville, PA and Jamison, PA. The instructional staff are university trained in dance and have either their BFA or MFA degrees. The faculty is committed to providing students an experience that promotes individual success through a curriculum which emphasizes discipline and patience in a caring and nurturing environment. “We believe that fantastic things can happen to those that study dance. Improved coordination, posture, and self-confidence are among some of the benefits. Our student-centered approach to the art of dance fosters creativity and self-expression.”
